Useless fellow

Two girls were standing in front of the closed courtroom's door, at first glance, anyone could guess they were eavesdropping,suddenly, they were startled and ran away.

Meanwhile Meena stood in a white long dress near the railings, her left hand was tapping impatiently at the railings and her right on the big ancient pillar made.

Her big chocolate brown eyes like that of a deer, her pointed nose stood out perfectly on her small face and her pair of lips were pink and plump and quivering, her long brown hair cascaded to her waist with a band made of small white flowers on her head, she looked just like an angel in heavens but the look on her face was that of worry.

A pair of footsteps in her direction caught her attention and she turned around to see two girls running in her direction.

"Sister....sis.....sister" one of the girls called out to her.

"" princess...my princess" the other girl called too, for a moment, Meena was speechless looking at the two trying to catch their breath as they have ran a long way here.

"What did they say Afreen?"

"What did they conclude?" Two ladies stood from behind Meena asked as they jumped down from their seats. At one glance one could guess they were her sisters though both weren't as beautiful but one looked older than Meena while the other one looked just as young as she although she is younger by two years.

Afreen and the other girl looked at each other with widened eyes confusing the other three.

"Will you stop scaring us and speak up Afreen?" Scolded Nasreen,Meena's elder sister who was married to the Vizier's son with a baby girl called Amal.

Afreen and the other girl named Nabeela who is Meena's maid and best friend were just looking at each other.

Now that they asked, they just remembered they ran away without completing the task given to them.

"Ehm...ehm...sister, the door is too big and thick so no sounds came through and we couldn't listen to what they were actually saying" Afreen complained.

"Useless, totally useless, Afreen you told me you could do the job properly which led me to believing you, i should have known you will only mess around, and you Nabila, i thought you were wise enough to do the task properly, i never had any idea that you will be affected by this useless Afr..." "It's ok Sister Nasreen, we will still learn the outcome no matter what ok? calm down" Meena reasoned stopping her Nasreen from scolding the too further.

"Useless fellow" Mubeena mocked at her little sister Afreen for not being able to finish a small task of eavesdropping.

" sister Meena did you see that? Mubeena is troubling me again" Afreen whined.

"Come here" Meena brought her sister to herself to calm her.

"My, my, you are sooo amazing sister Meena,you are the one trying to calm us even when it should have been the other way round? Sure the coutiers will be a bunch of dummies if they refused to let you be the next ruler, you will make an incredible ruler, i promise" praised Mubeena as she took an apple from the fruit bowl bit into it and dropped lazily to the comfortable cushions arranged in the front area of Meena's chambers.

"What do we do now?" asked Nasreen

"We wait" Meena answered curtly, just then a maid rushed towards them bowed and announced.

"His highness has summoned you all to the queen mother's chambers".

" we will be on our way then" Meena said as she looked at the others.

Inside, her heart was pounding hysterically but outside she was calm to keep others from worrying about her.

They all made their way soon to the Queen mother's chambers, that's their Grand mother's chamber with them constantly glancing at each other without saying a word, as if they were exchanging words through through their glances.

It's obvious they were nervous.
