#SADIQ
Despite the heat going on around Marida, Things has been quite good for me lately, especially in the romance side, My relationship with Jasmine had taken off smoothly… At first, I never knew things would work out like this but I'm glad it did.
Before, Jasmine in my view was nothing but a stubborn and disrespectful lady but I was wrong appearances are deceiving.. She's a sweet and understanding girl, unlike most ladies I know she's quite literate and sure knows all about herbs, plants and medicine.
The people of Nishkapur are known because of their medicine, which is very effective and helpful…. Sometimes she would teach me about some plants and their uses, I wasn't really paying attention though cause I was just staring at her.
But as we got more bonded and closer I began to realize some things especially her traits and manners, it was like she was bought up by some rich family in Nishkapur cause it was similar to those wealthy women of high social class, everything about her showed that she was from a place of higher standards , I began to think about what she told me earlier about her being a princess… I couldn't risk letting her go not because I want to keep her but for the dangers along the way, like those monsters we encountered..
So I decided to send some messengers to Nishkapur to confirm, if there was any missing princess with the name of Jasmine.
Frahan my closest friend, I noticed my moods as of late and decided to ask what was going on with me.. I didn't hesistate to tell him everything about Jasmine… He was excited that I am in a relationship.
.
Frahan  Hmm, Finally.. The time has come, I was beginning to worry that you'd spend your life alone… I'm happy for you friend.
.
Sadiq  Thanks..
.
Frahan  So is she really a princess?
.
Sadiq  I'm not sure but I've sent some messengers to Nishkapur to confirm.
.
Frahan  The gods keep blessing you..
.
Sadiq  What are you talking about?
.
Frahan  Don't you see? If it's true that she's a princess, that means you'd get to be the Sultan of Nishkapur.
.
Sadiq  Oh.. Come off it..
.
Frahan  Of course… If you marry her, your chances of becoming sultan is assured.
.
Sadiq  What about Marida?
.
Frahan  And what about it?
.
Sadiq  Who's going to be Sultan if I go to Nishkapur?
.
Frahan  What? You think the Queens will allow you to become sultan? The only reason why you're still standing here with me is because your father is alive but once he's dead… They'll come for you and kill you. You don't need to be Sultan of Nishkapur… This place is hell for people like you and I… Only the rich and corrupt rule this place, even if you succeed in becoming sultan, you can't handle these people, you'll be like a lion trapped in the middle of thousand hyenas.
.
Sadiq  No… You don't understand… I can't leave Nishkapur… People are suffering here.. I can't allow that, Nishkapur was once a place where anyone can live as one.. Not slaves.. Someone has to do something. With Sufyan's help I can...
.
Frahan  WHAT??? You're still engaging yourself with that hypocrite? Sadiq you should know better, Sufyans is only helping you because he's going to benefit something from you, a man like him is not to be trusted.
.
Sadiq  I know… But I assure you nothing will happen… Nobody knows we're meeting.
.
Frahan  Just stop! Before its too late… Sufyan is a disease…
.
As Frahan and I were talking, Some royal guards came towards us with shields and swords in hand, Frahan was frightened, He quickly moved behind me, I however waited to see what would happen. As the royal guards approached us, They surrounded us pointing the swords at us. The head of the royal guards came forward and stated his mission.
.
Head RG  Prince Sadiq!!
.
Sadiq  Yes… What is it?
.
Head RG  Your presence is required immediately at the palace..
.
Sadiq  What for?
.
Head RG  Come with us prince! There's no need for things to get messy.
.
Sadiq  What is going on here?
.
Head RG  You're charged for the murder of Sufyan… The slaves claimed to have seen you kill their master.
.
Sadiq  What? Impossible!!! This is outrageous…
.
Head RG  Please come with us and do not resist… We'll be forced to use force if you do.. Quietly come with us.
.
I couldn't believe it! Sufyan was murdered? How did that happen? No else knew about our meeting… Unless...…
I had no choice but to follow the Royal guards back to the palace to see who had accused me for this, besides I'm sure they don't have enough proof to pin that murder on me.
.
#OMNISCIENT_POV
Here inside the palace of Marida, there's an intense argument going on between Sadiq and the council about the murder of Sufyan, Both Queen Saudat and Aisha and their sons are present at the scene watching as Sadiq tries to talks his way of the unfortunate predicament… The Sultan, sits on his on chair, listening and watching with close attention.
.
Sadiq  For the last time, I told you, I am innocent! Why would I kill Sufyan? I have no quarrel with him.
.
Abdul  Liar! We have witnesses who claim to have see you at the scene when Sufyan was murdered. They've even told us some interesting stuffs as well.
.
Sadiq  Well, let's see them! Let's see the witnesses.
.
Abdul  By all means... Send them in…
.
Everyone waits patiently to see who these witnesses are, to Sadiq's surprise, he sees the servants of Sufyan, standing before everyone, Sadness is written all over their places.
.
Abdul  Do you know these slaves My prince?
.
Sadiq  Yes… I do.. They're Sufyan's slaves.
.
Abdul  So you did went to his house…. You see everyone, he's the murderer.
.
Sadiq  Enough you fool…. I've been visiting Sufyan for quite a while.. Even these slaves can testify to that.
.
Abdul  Doing what in his house exactly?
.
Sadiq  That's none of your business.
.
Abdul  (smiles) It is now… Your highness i request we listen to what these witnesses have to say regarding their master and the prince here.
.
Sultan Mustapha  (nods in affirmation)
.
Abdul  Good…. Okay slaves… Don't be afraid… Do you know this man standing here?
.
Slave 1  Yes… He's prince Sadiq. He usually comes to see our master in the night!
.
Abdul  Yes? And what do they talk about?
.
Slave 2  Lots of this.. Very sinister.
.
Abdul  Yes.. What is it about?
.
Slave 3  They mostly talk about how Sadiq will seize the throne by exposing…..
.
Abdul  That's enough…
.
Everyone gasps in shock as they heard what the slaves said.. Even Sadiq is shocked… His plans with Sufyan had been exposed but nevertheless, he wasn't determined to under down like that.
.
Abdul  Everyone you've heard what the witnesses said…. This is what I call *concrete evidence * this slaves would have no other reason to lie…
.
Sadiq  I disagree…. Sufyan and I only talked about how we're going to help the masses of Marida… Everyone knows I don't want the throne… That's why I joined the army… This slaves might have been bribed or forced to say this… Sufyan isn't the kind of man you meet to seize a throne.. He's nothing but a debt collector, a man like that had no place among the rich and powerful.
.
Abdul  Denial won't help you not prince, because we have another evident… Bring in the evidence.
.
Sadiq watches as his cloak is being bought in…. Just how did they get access to his cloak? It was the same one he wears when going to see Sufyan.
.
Abdul  Is this your cloak Prince?
.
Sadiq  Yes, its mine..
.
Abdul  AHA!!! You see everyone… He confirmed that this is cloak… The Slaves saw you in this cloak last night as you were about to escape… There's no room for Denial prince… YOU'RE GUILTY!!!
.
Hassan  Shame on you brother… Shame on you… He should be banished!
.
Hamid  He should be hanged… Traitor..
.
Sul. Mustapha  ENOUGH!! let's hear what the prince has to say in his defense.
.
Everyone keeps quiet and sit back and listen to what Sadiq has to say… After a brief moment of Silence, Sadiq speaks his mind.
.
Sadiq  I do not deny that I wear that cloak and I don't not deny visiting Sufyan on regular basis but I did not kill him… Besides I don't have any quarrel with him, Everyone knows the kind of man Sufyan is, if we were quarreling he'd go around and tell everyone. And about last night.. Yes I was out, I wasn't in that palace last night but I wasn't in Sufyan's house either… I was somewhere special with my concubine, Jasmine.
.
Abdul  Liar! All what you've said is nothing but Fabrications and lies…. We won't be fooled by your story. We have witnesses and evidence.
.
Sadiq  and I have mine… A witness of course.
.
Abdul  Who? That wh*re of yours? We can't trust her.
.
Sadiq  Why not? She's a concubine after all and besides, she's not aware all this I'd going on… Why don't we call her and ask her where she was last night?
.
Abdul  As if we'd do….
.
Mustapha  Abdul!
.
Abdul  Yes your Highness!?
.
Mustapha  Summon the girl… At once.
.
Abdul  As you wish, your highness….
.
Some guards are sent to go and bring Jasmine and shortly later, she was bought before everyone. The young lady stares at everyone especially Sadiq wondering what was going on.. She stands before everyone as she's being interrogated by Abdul.
.
Abdul  Jasmine… That's your name isn't it?
.
Jasmine  Yes, sir..
.
Abdul  What a lovely name! Tell me young lady… Where were you last night? Now think before you…
.
Jasmine  I was with the prince last night.. He room me up to the hills to see Marida's view at night.. It's so beautiful.
.
Everyone was stunned by Jasmine's answer… Sadiq smiled to himself knowing his case was over, but Abdul wasn't going to let the prince go that easily.
.
Abdul  Enough! This doesn't change anything… Prince you're guilty.
.
Mustapha  Vizier… Get back to your seat…. Judgement is not yours to make…
.
Abdul slumps back to his seat anger, as he sees Sadiq smirking ? at him. After the Sultan spoke his mind about the case.
.
Sul. Mustapha  Well, this was quite shocking, from what I can say Sufyan's murderer is yet to be found but nevertheless the case presented haven't shown any thing that my son is the killer of Sufyan, a bunch of witness and a cloak doesn't prove anything… The witnesses could have been forced, after all they're slaves… And as for the cloak it could have been stolen by the killer to make Sadiq take the fall… And as the young ladies statement… I can attest to that, I saw both of them leave on a horse back last night… They couldn't have possibly gone to Sufyan's house together unless the slaves want to tell me that they saw Jasmine as well….. Well does anyone have anything to say about this?
.
The slaves kept quiet, Abdul sat transfixed in his seat, he knew that with the testimony that the Sultan, this case was closed, objections would be totally useless at this point, so he and his fellow council men kept their mouths shut.
.
Sul. Mustapha  Well, since there is no objections about this, I believe this case is over..
......…
Later inside Queen Aisha's room, Abdul curses and rants on and on about the case.
.
Abdul  D--n! We had him… We did… gods… Why? This wasn't supposed to happen.
.
Aisha  Relax! We can always work something out…
.
Abdul  Everything was planned accordingly…. Everything was supposed to be perfect…. Arrrgggghhhhhhh (shouts)
.
Aisha  Relax you fool, we can work something out.
.
Abdul  Don't tell me to relax woman! Do you know what position we're in?
.
Aisha  Watch who you're talking to! I'm your queen.
.
Abdul  Apologies.. Your highness..
.
In that moment, Karim and Saudat walk in the room, they too are displeased with how things turned out.
.
Karim  Abdul! I thought you said everything would work out accordingly… You said there's no way he'd escape this.
.
Abdul  I know… But you saw what happened even the Sultan testified for the b*stard.
.
Saudat  So what do we do? We can't allow that street rat live not while he knows our secret.
.
Abdul  I know what we have to do we'll...
.
Just before Abdul could say his intentions, Jasmine innocently walks into the room, interrupting them. As Abdul sees her, he curses her.
.
Abdul  Worthless wh*re! What brings you here?
.
Jasmine  Sorry to interrupt, I…
.
Saudat  Let her be Abdul… She's with us!
.
Abdul  What? She's with you?
.
Aisha  Yes, she's been helping with Sadiq's movements… She's an ally.
.
Saudat  So what brings you here?
.
Jasmine  I just wanted to know what happened earlier? I hope I didn't cause you any trouble.
.
Abdul  Oh yes you did… You b*tch!
.
Saudat  Abdul! Watch your tongue… If she knew our plan, she wouldn't have backed that b*stards….. Don't worry jasmine… It wasn't your fault… Just keep doing what we asked you to…
.
Jasmine  So is it true he killed a man?
.
Saudat  Of course he did… Now run along before he sees you here.
.
Jasmines leaves the room in a hurry, as soon as she leaves, The crooks continue with their discussion.
.
Abdul  What is the meaning of this? Why bring this wh*re into our affairs?
.
Saudat  Listen to me dog… She's been helping us with information.. She's useful to us for now.
.
Abdul  Does she know about our plan?
.
Aisha  No..
.
Karim  What makes you sure she can be trusted?
.
Saudat  Oh she can… Besides she's doing this for us because of one thing.. Freedom! She wants to go back home to Nishkapur…. So we'll use that on her to make her do what we want… When the time is right, we'll dispose of her.
.
Abdul  Good! Now back to our discussion… We have to proceed to the next plan… Its the only way our secret can be safe…
.
Karim  hold on… This is not place to discuss this… Let's all meet later and discuss this.
.
Saudat  That's right my love..its better we talk about this later.
.
Unknown to them, as they were planning about their next meeting, Jasmine was close by listening to everything they said… She's shocked to hear, she's been used and tricked… Seeing that her life is in jeopardy she hurries off and goes to Sadiq's room.
.
#JASMINE
I just couldn't believe what I just heard… How could i be such a fool? Sadiq was right… Those women are vile and cruel… And turns out its true about what Sadiq said about them..
I rushed to Sadiq's room to tell him about my predicament… I don't want to die here, at least not by the hands of these cruel people… Besides I'm young..
Soon, I got to Sadiq's room, and there he was removing his clothes, his upper body was bare open, and by the gods, he was chiseled… Most men I've encountered are either slim or fat but Sadiq was just perfect, his muscles were quite manly and his chest was a sight to behold, his abdomen was boxed and there was cuts in some part of his body… The cuts were probably from the war he goes to.
I was stunned watching his body that I lost myself in the moment.. It was Sadiq, that shook me back to reality.
.
Sadiq  Jasmine! Are you alright?
.
Jasmine  Uh.. Oh.. Uh..
.
Sadiq  Jasmine!
.
Jasmine  Yes, yes, yes! I'm fine.. Yes..
.
Sadiq  Are you sure you're alright? You look a little bit pale.
.
Jasmine  Oh, I'm fine..
.
Sadiq  Good, Uhm.. I just want to thank you for saving my life back there.
.
Jasmine  Oh it was nothing… After all you saved my life before.
.
Sadiq  Well, I have some good news for you… I've sent some messengers to Nishkapur to confirm about you being the princess, if its true, I'll see to it you get home safely back to your father.
.
My heart felt elevated with excitement as I heard that,.. I rushed at Sadiq and gave him a warm hug… Sadiq was shocked by this, he held me in his arms as well.
We stood like that for a brief moment, my heartbeat increased as I felt Sadiq's arms around my waist, I wanted to move away from him but I couldn't, instead I hugged Sadiq tighter. Just then, I felt his hands moving all around my body slowly, I felt my body twitch with pleasure… I was trembling all over, and I was feeling a tingle in my sweet middle.
Sadiq continued to fondle my body, it felt so good that I let out a low moan, I couldn't help it.. He was driving me crazy.. Seeing that there was nothing I could do.. I reached out and kissed him. Our tongues twisted around each other as we locked lips, we were so caught up in what we were doing enjoying every moment of it… Just then, Sadiq raised me up and placed me on the bed, he mounted on my body and continued kissing me.. I could feel his hard erection touching my vaginal region. while we were kissing, He began to remove his underwear, as soon as he was completely naked, he began to make his way under my gown, I laid down unable to move, watching him do as he wanted, I wanted to tell him to stop but my heart wanted to see what he was going to do.. As he reached halfway, He leaned down and kissed my neck, my legs tingled feeling aroused and excited, he then kissed his way down to my plumb bre*sts, licking and biting my nipples.. I moaned out loud feeling Sadiq's teeth on my sensitive n*pples.. After that, He made his final move, He came on to me and parted my legs slowly, He then took his time and penetrated me.. I felt the tip of this p*nis entering my tight honey nest and it was both painful and pleasurable at the same time, Sadiq realized I was a virgin so he went in slowly, as he made his way into me, I moaned harder, clutching on to his strong arms.. His p*nis was tearing me apart,.. After a while Sadiq was completely inside me, He began to t----t into me slowly, I could feel his p*nis throbbing inside me, and it was getting bigger with each t----t.. Sadiq leaned down and kissed me as he f*cked me, he hammered me slowly in a pleasurable way, so that I could get used to his size.. O wrapped my arms around his neck as we kissed and made love, there was no communication between us except the sound of our lips kissing and the thrusting sound of Sadiq's p*nis as it collided with my c*nt, A bit later, Sadiq began to go fast and hard, He shoved his p*nis deeper into me, hitting my sensitive spots, My body trembled with pleasure and i was moaning like a sl*t, I never knew s*x was like this… No wonder some women become prostitutes.. With each t----t, my c*nt got tighter around Sadiq's rod, I grabbed on to his waist, pulling him down to penetrate me harder.
Never in my life, have I felt this good, my body was on fire and my head was filled with lust. To think I would lose my virginity this way… I couldn't think of a better way, at least, I was deflowered by a man I'm in love with.
Sadiq and I kept making love for some time, The sound of moans and thrusts filled the room, Both our bodies was sweaty, and energies was spent.. Sadiq was still on top of me, hammering me hard with his rod, I moaned harder as I felt his p*nis go deeper into my womb, my body was tense and twitchy, and my c*nt was getting out of control, before long, I shouted hard as I reached o----m, I came hard on Sadiq's rod, I laid down flat barely unconscious and I was breathing hard, my head was dizzy and my body was numb.. I thought Sadiq was going to stop but he kept thrusting inside me..
.
Jasmine  Sadiq.. Ahhn.. Let's.. Ahhh.. Stop.. Ohh.. Yes.. I'm tired.. Ohh.
.
Sadiq  Sorry jasmine, huff, huff, I'll be done soon.
.
Sadiq kept ravishing my body but this time he did it slowly, He laid down on my body and held my hair and he pounded my c*nt deeper than ever, then suddenly he began to go fast, his rod was twitching like crazy.. After a few thrusts, Sadiq groaned and pushed deep, I moaned as I felt something warm rush inside me, I could feel it deep inside my stomach, it would seem that Sadiq had came inside me.
After that, we together in bed strapped in each others arms, as we laughed and giggled.
.
Sadiq  I have to say Jasmine.. You're amazing.
.
Jasmine  No.. You're the amazing one.. I've never felt this good..
.
Sadiq  I see you're a virgin.. I hope I wasn't too rough on you.
.
Jasmine  No.. You were gentle… We should do this more often.. I want to feel that exciting feeling again.
.
Sadiq  Don't worry, you will.
.
Jasmine  If I'm going back to Nishkapur, I want you to come with me.. I want to show you to my father.
.
Sadiq  I don't know if..
.
Jasmine  Please…
.
Sadiq  Okay.. I'll go with you.
.
After that, Sadiq's mood changed, It would seem something was bothering him, so I asked.
.
Jasmine  Any everything okay, darling?
.
Sadiq  No.. I'm still shocked that Sufyan is dead.. Nobody knew we were seeing each other.. He's the key to exposing this cruel b*stards and now he's gone.
.
I felt sorry for him, I wanted to tell him it was my fault but I was afraid he might hate me for it.. But nevertheless it's better for me to tell him than for him finding out.
.
Jasmine  Sadiq.. I have something to tell you..
.
Sadiq  What is it?
.
Jasmine  Don't be mad but… Its my fault, Sufyan is dead… I'm sorry.. I was telling the Queens about your movements but that was before I knew they were bad people, they filled my head with awful lies about you.. Before coming here I just found out that they wanted to get rid of you, saying that had some plan but they didn't say it and in the end, they would kill me if their plan succeeds.
.
Sadiq said nothing after that, He let go of me and sat at the edge of the bed, I knew this would turn out like this but I was just a pawn in the mess, I didn't know much about the people here. I moved closer to Sadiq trying to console him but as I got close, he stood up wore his robe and left me alone in the room.
.
