"Mehr, you'll be late and you're having a test today," Maa yelled from down the stairs for the umpteenth time in the morning.
"I'm coming Maamita. I'm still looking for the book." Mehr yelled back thrusting the book she found inside her backpack before rushing down the stairs to the dinning room table.
"Go fast." Maa gently pushed Mehr out of the dinning room after they had their breakfast.
"Bye fam." she yelled at her family before rushing out of the house to the car where Mallam Audu was waiting for her.
"You're late Meheru." he pointed out starting the car. Mehr is hardly late to wherever she's going. She's the punctual type all the time.
"Wallah, I was looking for my notebook and it's the subject I'm having teat on now. When I finished reading it yesternight, I didn't know where I kept it." she verballed in one breathe.
"You found it right?" he asked concerned. He know
Abuja, Nigeria 11:15am.What should she say? She kept chanting in her mind as if the answer will pop out from no where. She end up with the answer she knows even her sister will give her the same answer.So she said it, "Yes. I'll love to," she smiled widely, literally bouncing up and down."Thanks," he smiled back cos her reaction and smile is contagious."Anytime," she smiled. They talked and cracked jokes for a while before the bell rang, signaling the end of their lunch and their little chit chat."Okay, I'll be on my way. I'll pick you up at 5?" he asked not sure when she'll be ready."Sure, see ya!" she bounced back into the school building with a quick wave."Today's so boring wallah," Afnaan whined when they were standing out side the school building, after school, waiting for Mallam Audu.
Abuja Nigeria, 5:12pmHe parked the car at the parking area near the coffee shop. He sauntered out of the car immediately and opened the door for her like the gentle man he is."Thanks," she murmured, sauntering out of the car as he close the door behind her.They walk side by side to the coffee shop. The bell jingled- alarming the people in the coffee shop to know that someone just came in.The coffee shop is not small and not very big, it's warm, welcoming and cosy. The booths are scattered, here and there but it's cute.They sat down at the far end of the shop, where the big window that shows the perfect view of Maitama, Abuja is. "Are you ready to order now or later?" Mashkur asked, when the waiter came to their booth to take orders with his small notepad."I'
Before she could say Zayn Malik, it was already two months since she has been a fake best friend- Afnaan's words, to Mashkur. They've been seriously close to each other.They are both in love but none of them is making a move to say anything about it.Mashkur was trying his best to keep it in his mind because he doesn't know whether she felt the same and he doesn't want to ruin what they already have.They always go out whenever they have a chance to. Maa was even suspecting something between them but Mehr always brush it off."Didi," Mehr called from her bed. "When are you getting married ne wai?" she asked obliquely."When you are ready, I'm waiting for your blessings," Kydah playfully glared at her sister. She's been asking random questions recently."Woah! I was just asking, nothing more. Just that you guys are getting closer with Ya Anwaar that's all." Mehr defended h
Mehr has been watching her sister; Kydah since after the dinner with Ya Muhsin's best friend. She's falling for Ya Muhsin's best friend; Anwaar but she doesn't know and Mehr is afraid, she don't want her sister to be heartbroken.She's feeling the same, heart broken cos Mashkur is not showing her any sign of love only brotherly love but Kydah should even be happy cos Mehr knows that Anwaar loves her but Kydah still didn't admit it to herself.Recently, you'll see her smiling, looking at space then biting her lip, then grinning like a maniac which Mehr is finding strange but didn't talk to her about it.Mehr notice that her sister is always receiving roses, chocolates, perfumes, teddies and all those romantic beautiful stuffs so she'd asked her then;"Didi, who's sending all these stuffs?" Mehr asked, munching on the chocolate she stole from her sister."Uhm, why do you want to know?" she s
Today being one of the days the Maliks' and other close relatives meet up in the Maliks' Mansion, so the house was already in a bedlam state with the maids and butlers.Maa was walking up and down in the house with Mehr trailing behind her, noting whatever she wants to tell the maids."Go and wake Kydah up, its already late." Maa said to Mehr before walking into the kitchen to check if the maid did as they were asked to."Didi, wake up." Mehr whispered close to Kydah's ear who was softly snorting with even breaths."Didi." Mehr whisper yelled when Kydah didn't reply nor react and she was getting irritated. Kydah was not usually a heavy sleeper."Uhm.." Kydah groaned before rapidly blinking her eyes because of the sun that was shining bright through the wall window."Maa said they'll be here any minute." Mehr murmured before standing up from Kydah's bed to walk into the bat
They both sat down in a very awkward silence without a single sound coming from any of them, both lost in their own part of the world. She was nervous and he was edgy, curios, and angry at the same time.He asked her if she was serious but she was so frustrated to answer him. Why doesn't he see? Can't he see that she's head over heels for him and only him? But he's still asking her, what will he even do if I have someone in my mind? She thought, frustrated.Was he acting strange? Or is it that he just doesn't know how to show much affection? Is he intimating her at all or is it that she just doesn't see his love for her or she doesn't like him at all? He couldn't stop thinking about all the possibilities as to why she doesn't like him.Why is he looking at me like I've committed a very big crime? She asked herself internally, fidgeting on the comfortable coffee chair. She can't sit down like that, if he'll talk he should talk or she'll break the sile
"What happened to you?" Mashkur immediately stood up and ask her when he saw her face clearly."Nothing." she forced a very weak smile that even a stranger will know that she's faking it with force hence, he pressed further."Sit." he ordered when she stood next to the chair she was sitting- she wasn't ready to sit down."Tell me, and I don't want to hear 'nothing'." his voice stern."When I say nothing, then its nothing Mashkur," she said ready to stand up but he stopped her with his hand around her wrist.She felt the sparks shoot through her body down her spine but she didn't care cos she knows she's the only one that's feeling it.But no, Mashkur felt it too cos he immediately sat her back down on the chair and remove his hand, also doesn't want to be disappointed."I said nothing. Will you leave me, I have to go. I have someone to meet right now." her voice betrayed her, and cracked. 
Mehr sat down on her bed and said her morning du'a before standing up from the bed and walk into the ensuite to take her bath and go to Afnaan's later cos its already 11:00am.She was just so happy that she was even thirty minutes late for her Subh Sallah. She was in a very deep slumber and had a very nice dream in a world which only her and her Mashkur exist.Walking into the bathroom to take a shower, but changed her mind, she went to on the tap water that's in a very big bathtub- in the toilet.She filled the water to the brim and put on the bubbles inside before stripping out of her pajamas and entering into the bathtub which makes the water to pour a little because it was full.Switching on the television that's in front of her in the bathtub before relaxing in the water just thinking about the love of her life. Mashkur has been the sweetest soul to her.Sending endless messages about
