*PRINCE JAMAAL*
*Episode Twelve*
*By Queen Fadilat*
(Filiks jet arrived in Kuwait, he first met with the King).
: your Royal Highness, may your reign be blessed. With me is the culprit behind your son's kidnap even though she has refused to divulge his whereabout. She still maintains she has nothing to do with his kidnap... (The King signals him to stop speaking).
Sirleem: Young girl (bends over her and holds her slightly on her chin) I don't think you did it either but I'd like to hear from you. (Forces a smile)
: (almost drowned in her own tears) Your highness, Prince Jamaal is... (Pauses and mutters the rest of the sentence in fear) my love.
(The King exchanges eye contact with Filiks who maintains a straight face so as not to do something that'll put him in trouble).
Sirleem: (sighs) My patience is exhausted little one. I expected you to tell me where my son is. You didn't kidnap him, I understand but where did you keep him (gives Aseefa a scary look).
: (shaking) I don't know.
Sirleem: The fate of the throne is at stake. You must know. (To Filiks) Play with her a little, if she doesn't talk, oh God have mercy on your soul.
(Filiks drags Aseefa away as she cried for mercy. He dragged her down the stairs. No one would have thought the palace had such a scary place underground. So many people were tied. Some bodies had flies all over while some kept crying for help with the very little strength they had left. Indeed, some people have cockroaches in their cupboard.)
: (cuffing her to an iron pillar) stay put unless you want to hurt yourself. You don't want to disturb the wolves.
: please don't leave me here. I swear I didn't do it.
: I know Prince Jamaal loved you. I know he'd give his throne to be with you. I know he increased his stay in Trinidad and Tobago because of you. What I don't know is why you'd pay him back like this. You may not have done it but you know who did so better start talking before my men come. They're not very friendly and won't see you as damsel in distress but food.
: I suspect someone.
: (bends over her in a very compromising way and caresses her chin) who?
: (whispers) Lady Marlanois.
: (pushes her face hardly) Wrong answer. You suspect my lady, you suspect no one. She must never be suspected. (His phone rings) boys are here. (Smiles sheepishly, takes the call and leaves while answering it).
(Prince Jamaal and Aila were chatting about something).
Jamaal: Aila, (holds her hands tight) what happened to you, I want to know.
: After you r***d me and left for Brunei. I was pregnant, I told your mom. She made her boys do an abortion on me. I was so scared. They kept me in a room alone, fed me but I couldn't eat. I bled and bled, I became thin. Then, they brought this doctor from India. He (bursts into tears) r***d me again in my condition. He said I was ill with a certain illness that made my va**na rot. Sure, he was lying, he wanted excuse to always be alone with me. He kept on ra**ng me. He treated me though, but my predicament affected my brain. I started acting weird. I lost all my beauty, I wasn't doing well at college. I couldn't graduate summa cm laude or magna like I was hoping. I dropped out. Here I am now. (She begins to cry so much that Prince Jamaal was drawn to tears too).
Jamaal: (caresses her hair and kneels before her) I have never knelt to my mom, or dad. I have knelt only to God and it was on very few occasions. Aila, I am sorry. My parents never even told me you were with child, I would have returned but what's done is done. One thing I learnt from Aseefa is that when something bad is done, I can't undo it but I can apologise for it. If there's anything I can do, I will. Name it.
: I want you to keep Aseefa safe. Tell her I am sorry. I really am. Don't let them r**e her, I know what it's like. If they have already, I want their p***s torn out from their body as served on a platter. Infact, I will go with you.
Jamaal: (scared for what Aila may do and for his parents) you don't have to...
: You don't know the secret doors into that dungeon underneath your main palace like I do. It was my home so I mastered everything.
Jamaal: (heaves a sigh of relief and fear) Okay Girl.
: (becomes extremely serious) Don't call me girl or Aila. We are not dating. I am not your friend either, I don't have your back. I am only their to say hi to some old friends.
Jamaal: (holds her shoulders) we're not killing, cooking or tearing out anyone's p***s. We're going there to get Aseefa and get those thugs arrested. You'll have to help me save Aseefa.
: Help you save her? When I was r***d, no one saved me. When I had those rods inserted inside of me by doctor Khan, no one came. I screamed so loud that the whole of Kuwait must have heard. They must have (she repeated while nodding her head weirdly) but who came. Rats. Rats, feasting on my wounds. Now, I need their heads too.
Jamaal: You need to help me save Aseefa too. I can't ask Maraj, he just married and I don't want to stress him.
: (paces restlessly) don't you understand? I can't do it. There's too many memories in that place. I can only help if she isn't held in the same room they held me. Boy! People are so going to hell tomorrow, I may go too. May God accept all our stinking souls.
(Prince Jamaal watches her in pity. How his one act of wickedness and stupidity has ruined and is going to ruin more lives. He flashed back to the night before he r***d Aila).
