"But when will Mommy come back?"Aladdin asked Nura.
"She will not come back."she answered simply. "Abbas, take the boy with you. I don't want him around. Not right now. I want to be alone."
"Yes, my lady."
"Oh, my."
Nura took the dagger out from her pocket where she had it, and put it away carefully in her safe, along with some other valuables.
"She was my friend."she said to herself, miserably. "My friend. It was all my fault! All of it! I should never have let her go with that crazy…I should have convinced her to go back to her father."
Nura took care of Aladdin, just as Ruwa had asked her to. One evening, Abbas walked in, saying there was someone to see her.
"Who? I don't take visitors so late."she said.
"He wouldn't show his face. He said it was urgent."
"At this hour. Come with me, Abbas."
They went to the door, and standing there, was a man dressed in blue.
"You wanted to see me?"she asked.
"Yes. It's me, Cassim."he said, revealing his face. "I've…"
"You! What are you doing here? How dare you come to my door? After…leave! Now!"
"I have come…"
"Leave!"
"I will come in, whether you like it or not! I have to know where my wife and son are."
Abbas took out the dagger that was part of his eunuch's uniform.
"You must not disrespect my lady's orders!"he said.
"I told you to leave. Besides, she wants to know nothing about you. You will never find them."
She closed the door in his face.
"Just the nerve of that man!"she exclaimed.
As she was on her way to her sitting room, some time later, she slipped on one of the steps, and only lived a few hours longer. Hanif, who was so grieved by her loss, decided to leave Agrabah. He had never been fond of Aladdin, and sent the boy to live on the street, as the boy's presence irritated him.
"Just go and don't come back, boy. It's where you belong, anyway!"was the last thing he said to the boy.
