Chapter 13 - The big day

in the early hours of the morning when almost everyone was asleep two people were awake, these two people lived in a secluded region of the forest away from everybody else their house was near a lake so they had a constant supply of food one of them had black hairs and beautiful grey eyes he was fishing in the lake when the person who lived with him came walking he was a tall boy who had black hairs and was wearing sunglasses he was also holding a stick with which he tapped the ground to check if their was no hurdle in his way indicating that he was blind as he came and sat next to the guy who was fishing and said

Blind man : good morning Nizaam.

Nizaam : good morning Umair.

Umair : did you sleep well last night?

Nizaam : I was until that system update came along.

Umair : they always have to launch the update when we are asleep.

Nizaam : the A.I is a mindless and soulless being it is programmed to fulfill its tasks.

Umair : yeah but couldn't they wait until we woke up?

Umair began fishing as well as he asked

Umair : are you going to go to the market today?

Nizaam : don't you mean we?

Umair : I can't come with you.

Nizaam : why?

Umair : because I'm blind that's why.

Nizaam started to shiver as he said

Nizaam : you know I don't like going anywhere without you.

Umair : don't tell me that you are still scared of the men?

Nizaam : its not the men I fear its their manliness.

Umair : you are a man yourself why are you afraid of them?

Nizaam : you act like as if you don't know the curse I bare.

Umair : I'm well aware of this so called curse of yours and I'm tired it, I've told you millions of times mother gave birth to two boys.

Nizaam : you're wrong.

Nizaam pulled his fishing rod out of the water and said

Nizaam : she gave birth to only one boy the other was a misgendered freak.

Nizaam placed his fishing rod aside and went back inside, Nizaam went and sat on his bed, this was common for him he would sit on his bed and pray to God that he wake up the next day and have the body of a normal boy, he would pray the same thing many times each day but it seemed as if his prayers were left unheard back in the town people had began to woke up and after breakfast Nizaam was leaving when he saw Umair who smiled and said

Umair : be brave Nizaam remember who you are, you are mohammad Nizaam Naqvi you are a boy and no one can change that.

Nizaam felt a bit confident after hearing that he covered his face and left his main objective was to get spices for his food as they were one of the few things not available in the virtual shop though they were available in the wild it seemed easy to buy them from the shop than searching for them across an entire forest after arriving at the shops Nizaam began to search for the spices he needed, the Minister of Economy (MOE) began an announcement

MOE : people of Ortania please gather around I have important news to tell you!

hearing the Minister the people began to gather around him, Nizaam to heard the voice and came to where the people were gathering as he announced

MOE : my dear Ortanians for long this town has remained nameless hence our King Arthur has planned that a contest will be held tomorrow in which all of you people will give suggestions on what this town shall be called.

the people were overjoyed after hearing that as MOE continued to speak

MOE : furthermore, our Prince, Prince Henry will be abandoning his role as prince tomorrow the elections which will decide the new prince of Ortania are being held in the capital of Stevenburg, from each town of our Kingdom one intellectual person has been chosen and the person that has been chosen from your town is Sufiyan Ghazi.

this news made the people even more happy soon a huge crowd gathered outside Sufiyan's house everyone wanted to meet him and wish him the best, the news about this had reached all across the town back at Basit's house, Basit, Ashhad and Humzah were in Basit's lounge drinking tea they were still unaware of this when a knock happened on their door Humzah went and opened the door standing outside was Hussnain with a big smile on his face as he said

Hussnain : where is Basit?

Humzah : he's inside why is everything OK.

Hussnain : things are more than OK infact they could never be better.

as Hussnain went inside and came to Basit and said

Hussnain : Basit Sufiyan has been chosen as a candidate for the next princely elections.

Basit nearly spat the tea he was drinking as he said

Basit : what?!

Ashhad : Hussnain is this some sort of joke?

Hussnain : don't believe me than come take a look yourself, Aaron and Alyne are also on their way.

after saying that Hussnain ran outside Basit quickly finished his tea and ran behind him, Ashhad and Humzah also did the same, they arrived at Sufiyan's house and saw the huge crowd with their own eyes, Sufiyan was standing at the entrance of his house and was giving a speech

Sufiyan : my dear Ortanians today I need you more than I ever did, I promise if I win this election I will not only make this town a gem of peace and prosperity but also make the entire Kingdom the best country in the entire world.

the people began chanting Sufiyan's name

People : long live Sufiyan! long live Sufiyan!

after some more celebration the crowd began to leave and soon their was no crowd at all, Sufiyan was packing up for his journey to Stevenburg when a knock happened on his door, Sufiyan came to the door and opened it standing outside were his friends as he said

Sufiyan : oh hi guys please come in.

they all went inside.
