THE ONE MISTAKE THAT NEVER HAPPENED
***AAMINAS'POV***
I went back to the Queen's room, after I had taken the mop, I would use in taking care of the mess I had done in the room..
I came in to see her seated on the bed, immediately she saw me inside she rose on her feet and gave me a questioning glare.
"Were you and my son discussing anything before I had entered?", She asked.
I bowed my head down before answering her, "no my Queen, I just came in here to dress your bed, it was by coincident that we met.
Actually he only came looking for you and nothing else, maybe to know if you were back", I answered.
"Alright my feet hurts a lot, come and give me a feet massage", she said, "and hurry up, with whatever you're doing my feet hurts a lot", she continued.
"Yes my Queen", I replied.
I was furious that she was giving me a command.
I hastenly swept and cleaned the place where the glass bottle had fallen down.
I stood in front of her, waiting for her next order.
"Go to my down wardrobe, you would see my feet massaging oil, bring it, that's what you would use for my feet", she said.
I brought and came to kneel near the bed, which she sat on.
I rubbed the oil on her big toe and started massaging it, frequently I did it in a way that would hurt her more, and was rewarded by her yelp of discomfort.
"Ohhhh, uhhhh, take it easy, what's wrong with you must you be rough!!", She snickered.
"Idiot, did I tell you I wanted to give you a feet massage, or do I look like one, I am only giving you physical hurt and you're complaining, what about when I give you the emotional pain, will you survive it?", I thought.
After I was done massaging her feet, I stood up to leave.
"Are you done already or did I tell you to leave?", She asked.
"N-no", I stuttered.
I kept standing there waiting for what next to do.
"You!!, You prove to be a very good girl, I do find you handy, you look like you can do this and that", she said.
"My back aches so much, come over so you could massage it for me", she continued.
I climbed on the bed, and kept my two legs in between hers which was laying face down on the bed.
"Do I look like the person that kept you in this situation, or was I the person that kept screaming harder, and harder.
Crap!, Bullshit!", I kept hauling insults at her in my mind as my hands stiffened, and I dug my nails in her flesh.
I was done massaging her, she slowly rose from the bed and looked at the wall clock, "what's the time?", She asked.
"You don't have eyes, or you are already having night blindness", I said inwardly.
"Don't you get me", she shouted.
"M-my Qu-quee-queen, I am sorry, it's 1am", I replied while stuttering.
"It's 1am, and you are so in a hurry to leave, don't you know the work as a personal maid?", She snickered.
I nodded my head positively, as my head was bowed low.
"Or do I have to keep reminding you of the duties and responsibilities of the personal maid of the Queen!!", She snorted.
"Now listen, 'she continued', "as the personal maid, you don't have to step out of the the Queen's room until when asked to do so.
Secondly as the personal maid of the Queen, the Queen has all right to tell you to stay in her room until morning without sleeping, do you also get that.
Didn't Khadija, the palace chief maid, tell you all you are supposed to know?", She asked.
I didn't answer her as streams of tears kept flowing down my ears.
I saw her face flaring up in anger as she gave me a quick glance and told me, "get out, get out, I don't ant to ever see you here until I call for you, do you understand?", She asked.
"Y-yes my Queen", I replied.
I turned immediately and went outside her Chambers.
Immediately I was out, I cleaned the fake tears off my eyes, I was about entering my room, when I heard sobs from Prince Madoks' room.
I wondered who was sobbing, if it was him or someone else, as the sobs didn't seem like it was coming from him, but rather a feminine voice.
I ran immediately to hide at a hidden corner, which was very close to my room.
I hadn't stood there for up to fifteen minutes when I heard the door of the Prince's room opened.
I peeped from the place I stood to check who it was that came out from his room.
"Allah!!", I shrieked in poor horror, it was Khadija.
She-she, she was coming out from his room with wobbly and shaky legs, she was crying profusely. Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.
I wondered why she was crying, I added two and two together and gasped, "he must have raped her", I thought.
I made sure there were no signs of him coming out, I quickly rushed towards her, grabbed her hands and pulled her to my room.
Once she was in, I closed it and locked it with the padlock.
I walked towards her and tried embracing her, but she didn't even try embracing me back.
"He ra-ra-raped me, he raped me!!, He raped me Aamina, that fool damn raped me.
Aamina, I pl-pl-pleaded with him, I had been there for up to three hours, he used me like I was trash, he raped me.
I thought it was to do some work for him, like minor works or ra-rather still run errands for him, Aamina but he raped me!!.
This is act-actually the first time he called me to his ro-room, I came because he had never called me during such uneven hour.
I respected his call, because it was him and he never calls me, Aamina he took advantage of me and raped me.
"What am I going to do Aamina, what will I do?", She asked.
I didn't say anything, as I just kept comforting her, there were no words to be said, it has been done, there's probably nothing I could do to help her.
"It's okay Khadija, it's okay, calm down, there would be a way out, it's okay", I bellowed on her.
Something kept ringing in my mind, I was trying to join the pieces together but it was kind of hard for me to do.
I kept trying, suddenly it came hitting back on me, that the prince ordered me to come to his room, immediately I was done working for the Queen and that was about four hours ago.
"Shit!!", I cursed.
It would have been me, four hours ago, I would have been used three hours ago, not like he would eventually get hold of me, but it would have complicated issues.
He would have gotten to see my face mask, it's not possible he won't see it, and when he finally gets to see me, I am so doomed.
I looked at Khadija, I was sorry she had to go through this, there was nothing I could do now, but eventually there's something I would do later, right now there's just one thing we have to do.
Just one thing, not to complicate her issues, but also to complicate the Prince's own, and that's also part of the schemes I would use to bring him down.
It would have been me, but this is a mistake that never happened, and would never, I swore within me.
