Umm Rasheed took it upon herself to go to the gym room where Faisal was since he woke up. She couldn't wait anymore. The truth must just come out today and she prefers to hear it today from his lips. The suspicious act was already getting too much.
She glanced over Kalthum's direction and their eyes met. Kalthum quickly avert her gaze immediately. Yes, that's what Umm Rasheed was talking about. Kalthum doesn't meet her eyes this days. It was as if she felt guilty of doing something which she doesn't want Umm Rasheed to know.
This is the reason Umm Rasheed decides to have a talk with Faisal .
Umm Rasheed wiped off her hand and left the maids in the kitchen to go talk to Faisal over at the gym room.
***
Faisal was already all sweaty. He opened a new bottle of water and gobbled it down like the thirsty man he was. He was sprawled on the floor trying to catch his breath.
He took his phone from where he kept it. He smiled
" Answer me! "Kalthum snapped out of shock. She quickly went forward to grab her phone out of Basma's hand." Give me my phone " she demandedBasma refuses to give her " answer the question first. I'm very sure that this chat I just read was with sir Faisal. He is the only Faisal you know if I can remember. When did you two start it all? What did you do to him? I'm sure sir Faisal isn't in his right state of mind, you must have done something to brain wash h-"Kalthum jerked her phone out of Basma's hand inbetween her ranting" you don't know what you're saying Basma. Who gave you the right to go through my phone? " Kalthum snappedBasma fumed " you disgust me alot. I don't know which game you're playing with him. You better leave him alone or else"" you can't do anything to me Basma. Just because you saw a particular Faisal on my phone doesn't mean it's sir Faisal. Just lay off of my business and mind your own "
Kalthum ran to catch up with him" Faisal please wait " she was out of breath by the time she stood in his front " I didn't do anything wrong. Why are you mad at me? "He rubbed his stubbles " Really? Tell me how would you feel if you walk on me making a call with a friend of mine then you heard her confessing her feelings for me? How would you feel? "She search his eye to see if he was actually serious. Faisal was jealous, she knew that. She broke into a fit of laughter " you can't be serious. Are you jealous? "He scoffed " I don't know what you're talking about little Kalthum "She raised a brows at him " Hm, I can't believe you're jealous. Wallahi, there is nothing going on between ya jamil and i"He folded his arms almost pouting " but he doesn't see it the the way you see It. Can't you see that he said he will keep trying. The worst of all is that you told him that you'll call him back later! "" Really? You know you're the only
Umm Rasheed looked at Kalthum sternly " Make sure you get home on time and please don't waste my time by making calls with your darling boyfriend"Kalthum chuckled " Haba Nanny why are you hostile to me today "" I won't be hostile if you and Faisal don't stop your lovey-dovey in front of me "Kalthum burst out laughing " but it's not our fault Nanny."Nanny breath in " I'll give you a very dirty slap if you say that again. "" Aww Nanny is jealous! " Kalthum sang and Nanny followed her out of the kitchen with a big spoon in hand ." if I see your tiny legs in my kitchen, you'll know " Nanny warned playfullyKalthum giggled " I'm sorry Nanny. Please forgive me "" Oh don't even start with me. Make sure you get the right ingredients and there shouldn't be any mistakes if not ,you'll go back and buy the right one with your money "The house has been in chaos because the Dantata's are going to be having visitors today. Nanny h
" Don't talk to me Faisal "Kalthum pushed him as she moved away from him. He just got back from his outing with Raihana. Kalthum is irritated with the way Raihana throws herself at Faisal. It's so nauseating.The reason she has been giving him the cold shoulders is because, he didn't even ask for her permission. Yes ,she understood that he was only following his parents orders but still he should have asked her too. Her opinion does matter. Her feelings matters! Why can't he see that!Faisal gave her a confused look " what did I do? "She huffs " Really? Are you trying to pull the 'I don't know what I did Card'? Common Faisal, try thinking harder"" Will you just stop this childishness of yours. I only took her around town, wallahi. Nothing else happened !"She shook her head " so I'm the childish one now? Faisal why can't you understand that it hurts seeing you two together and the worst of all is that you didn't even ask for my opinion be
" What? Why are you two looking as if you just saw a ghost " Habeeb chuckledA smile spread across Ummu Rasheed's face " you naughty boy "" You meant what you said? " kalthum asked again surprised.He smiled " of course kalthum. We all know my mother, she is the best actress of the universe. I'm sure she did something to you before you mistakenly pushed her. Don't be surprised that she knew you were going to push her."Tears of joy dropped down her face " Thanks alot ya habib. You don't know how happy you just made me "" Well that's my duty right? As a big brother" he wiggled his brows after adding " I wouldn't want to see my little sister in pain "She giggled then wiped her tears " Thanks once again."Habib waved it off with a small smile " Can we all go inside now? I'm very famished. If you're worried about my mother , you better don't stress. She will survive a small fracture. Please let's go inside "Umm Rasheed let
Habib burst into the study room in anger." WHAT HAVE YOU DONE! " He shouted at the man before him " How could you Faisal?"Faisal exhaled loudly " look, I don't have time for your lectures. Instead of you to thank me before you fall victim, you're here screaming your lungs out "Habib's vain popped out. He was enraged that he threw the first fist at Faisal's face. He was satisfied When he heard a crunching sound." That's for being so stupid." He shouted at Faisal" what the hell are you trying to save me from? Kalthum is such a nice girl that I don't like to see her hurt but here you are, my own brother, you are the one responsible for hurting her. How could you? What harm has she done to you for Allah's sake Faisal? "Faisal held his jaw in pain. He winced slightly as he was about to talk . He glared at habib " Don't you dare throw a punch at me! I don't care what you think about her. She is here to deceive all of us and she ended up doing that.
Faisal drowned himself with work. He worked like he has never before. Each time he remembers Kalthum, something in him keeps shouting and yelling at him. You don't deserve her, that voice kept saying.He banged his desk with his hand " Enough!" he shouted at no one in particular as he held his head. Why can't people see that he is right and she is wrong? Why can't they just understand that she is only playing with their minds. Faisal's breathing becomes rage. He need to stop having all this thought about her if not he is going to go crazy in his office, he thought.Umm Rasheed doesn't even meet his eyes again. She treats him like a trash. Those loving eyes he usually see everyday has now turned to disappointment. He tried explaining himself to her but she was also like his brother, she took Kalthum's side. Everyone always take her side what about him? he thought, as he fling a file across the room.Right now the only people that seems satisfied wi
Habib looked at Kalthum like she has two heads. " I don't get what you're trying to say kalthum "She heaved a sigh " this is why I find it hard to tell people the truth . I know it'll be hard to believe it but I promise, that's the truth "He just couldn't believe his ears. Here he has been having good thoughts about Basma and now hearing this new info about her is just unbelievable." Can you please tell me everything and don't try missing a point "She nodded " ok"Kalthum stared at habib as she began to tell him everything without missing anything. She even told him how she has been a pain in the neck to her and habib was left speechless. He blinked once, twice and even thrice!. This wasn't what he had expected to hear." are you trying to tell me that Basma did all this to you? And you didn't even tell me? "Kalthum nodded " yes but I don't care anymore. What she wanted all along has finally happened " she s
