" Sophia Olyster"
She announced and the crowd applauded. Yayy, the attention wasn't going to be on me anymore. The crowd's applause grew louder and screams too. She deserved the award. But I really didn't see the need of doing this, no one needs a reward for being beautiful. The tiara and sash were placed on Sophia as she smiled widely. She wanted this. She was given a plaque too as the lady in pink put tiny tiara's on my head and a sash round my body.
" Ohh...I don't know what to say, I am really grateful for this award and I really do appreciate it. This was really unexpected and I honestly thought that my sister-in-law was going to be the one to get the award, but I am sincerely grateful to everyone here, I am glad to call UCLA my home, it was my home for five years, and UCLA is a school to be in
---------------Los Angeles, California.-------------------- Olyster Residence ( Morning of Grand Launch and Zainab's Birthday)" Happy Birthday to youHappy Birthday to youHappy BirthdayHappy BirthdayHappy Birthday to you" We all sang as we walked into Mother's room with birthday hats and a small cheese cake with tiny candles on top. Brandon was carrying her breakfast tray, with oatmeal, eggs and sausages, waffles, pancakes and syrup and coffee. " Happy Birthday Mother" Sophia said as she hugged her. " Blow out your candle now, I really want to taste this cheese cake. Khalid made it for you" GrandPa said and I blushed a little. No one could deny that I was a great chef. " oh really, bring it here" Mother said as I came closer to her. " Make a wish Mother" I said as she closed her eyes for some seconds and finally blew off the candles. " Yayy, Happy
-------------Los Angeles, California---------------------Taglyan Complex." Faryah, excuse me, I want to use the restroom" I really needed to ease my self. The chilli caused it. " Okay" She answered as I got up from our table. Sophia and Ethan were eating too. But GrandPa, Mother and Brandon were still moving around, making sure their guests were okay. The event was going to end very soon.I walked out of the hall and found my way to the restroom. I washed my hands and dried them up after I was done and walked out of the rest room. " it's been a while, Khalid" I could recognise that soothing voice anywhere. I turned my back to find the tall pretty blonde figure I was once crazy for. She was wearing a red short off- shouldered ball gown and golden heels. And her makeup and all, as usual perfect, she curled her hair to her right and she looked so beautiful." Pamela Hutchkins, how are you?
---------------Los Angeles, California.------------------------Lily's Specialist hospital ( 11:00am)" Faryah are you okay?" I heard Sophia ask as I slowly opened my eyes and saw her beautiful dark eyes looking into mine. " I am fine" I answered as I sat up right on the bed I was lying down on. I was in a hospital again. The ER. I watched as a female doctor walked into our cubicle with a wide smile. " You're awake now, that's nice miss, How are you feeling?" She asked as she came closer to touch my forehead. " I feel okay" apart from the heart ache. I still couldn't bring myself to accept that he cheated on me. He stabbed me right in the back. All the love he claimed to have for me, all of them, shattered in one single second. " Miss?" The doctor called and I snapped out of my zoning. " Sorry, I had something on my mind" I said and gave her a small smile. " Well I have good news for you Faryah, we ran some tests on you and we found th
-------------Los Angeles, California.--------------------------Olyster Residence(4:00pm)I really couldn't believe the anger in me made me hit a woman. It was so wrong. A part of me wanted to rush to her and protect her from Mother but she had to pay for lying to us. I really wanted to believe her explanations, I really wanted to, but I couldn't. I couldn't get the idea of she sleeping with another man out of my head. I loved her too much, I needed to find it in my heart to forget about her.I heard Grandpa’s car drive into the mansion. They were here. I really didn't mean for our argument to cause Faryah's grandfather a heart attack. I didn't know what I was going to do if she lost him. I walked out of my room and found GrandPa and Sophia walking into the living room. Mother and Brandon were still there. " How is he?" Mother asked as she got up from the couch. I knew she felt guilty as well. " Oh so y
----------------Los Angeles, California.--------------------------- Firdaus's new apartment." Thanks for coming Sophia" I said as I gave her a warm hug. I felt better after the shower and a little nap. She had brought my things, clothes and all, my certificates too. " You're welcome, I'm glad to be of help to you, to all of you, are you guys doing okay?" she asked as she sat on the blue couch. " We're okay, Firdaus and Mother are resting now" I said as I sat beside. " You know all of you are strong, you got over your grandfather's death pretty quickly"" We didn't get over it, we just accepted the facts and crying won't bring him back to us right?, all we have to do is pray" I said and smiled at her. " I really admire you guys, so are you going back to Indonesia?" She asked and I shook my head. " Well No, we're going to Malaysia instead, Firdaus has a two-year modelling project there, in Kuala Lumpur, we're

" Fine, Make sure our baby is okay, please call me when you're done okay, I really need your review on all what has happened in the industry this month" Miriam said into the phone as I powdered my face a little. " Sure Ammie, I have to go okay, she's waiting for me downstairs, I'll see you soon" I said as I was about to end the call. " Alright, my regards to Raihanna, Ma'assalam" She greeted. " Bis'salam" I answered and fi
——————- Al Muta'akhir Specialist hospital.——————————Same dayFaroukOnly one person called me Farouky.Fauziyyah.It's been approximately 19 years since we last saw or heard from my twin sister since she was taken away from us.I felt a familiar feeling when I saw Faryah. 18 years of searching for her and she came to us. I really hoped she was the one. I was never going to forget how Ummah went through mental crisis for a year plus when we lost her. The investigators had to conclude that she was dead but Ummah kept on believing that she was alive, she almost ran mad cause of our loss. But Alhamdulillah we sought psychological help and she came back. My Ummah came back to us. But she still kept on believing that Fauziyyah was alive and she was going to
-------Los Angeles, California.----------Olyster Textiles."Khalid can we go for lunch later today?, you always decline, why don't you just agree for once" Pamela asked into the phone as I got into my car. " Pamela I'm busy" I answered as I connected my phone to the Bluetooth of my car. " You're always busy Khalid, you don't even have time for me anymore, this isn't how it's supposed to be"" Pamela, leave me alone, let me be, what are we supposed to be?"" You can't just get rid of me like that Khalid, you and I are expecting children, twins for that matter Khalid" I sighed as those words tore my heart into pieces over and over. " I'll see you later" I said bluntly and hung up the call.Pamela seduced me into sleeping with her. Approximately five and a half months ago. She found me drunk in a bar, something that was so unusual of me. She helped me out of there
