Ahmad.
I looked at her , her eyes were piercing mine , anxiously awaiting my answer .
How do I tell her that I don't love her sister .
Or the fact that I was never a good person to her sister .
I was a monster in her sisters life which I now wish I could change the hands of time .
I looked at her , still in my own trance . The ringtone of my phone brought me out of my thought and I checked immediately.
"Tanisher was calling" I excused myself immediately without answering her , almost thanking tanisher for calling . I couldn't imagine what I was to say .
A part of me also felt happy , seeing her call me .
I missed her .
I picked up immediately, placing the phone on my ears .
"Hello" there was silence .
"Tanisher" I called out again but no answer .
I could hear air movement on her background but she wasn't speaking.
I felt like I was in a tangle between two women . I love tanisher , but nasrin ? .
Why do I suddenly take interest in her , wanting to be around her more than I do with tanisher .
Guilt was ripping me off and she was still keeping quiet . I heard the call end and i brought my phone to my eyes .
It was tanisher , I was already loosing my mind .
Out of anger , I didn't know when I threw the phone to the wall .
I was broken yet I broke so many lives .
I was a Shitty person!.
Tanisher .
"Mom , it's okay , I have already booked a fight home I promise" I tried assuring Mami .
"If you know you haven't, you should have better do it soon" she said before ending the call on me .
I have just gotten back from Lagos and now my parents want me back in America in a week time .
Nahh this stress isn't for me .
I laid my head on my couch , gently taking In fresh air .
My head was aching from constant thinking , I was always thinking about him , I miss him yet I don't want anything to do with him anymore .
My heart was broken and shattered.
He was a monster in a human skin , yet I fell so deep for him .
I should have known , I always have a thing for muslim guys yet they always break me at the end .
Damn I was willing to accept Islam , which I still do . At first it was all because of him I wanted to convert but now I have so many reasons to convert .
I was a sinner and I believe Islam offers a conversion experience and the opportunity to get one's life in order, without needing to confess ones sin and need of salvation.
They seem to be all equal , that day looking at nasrin's eyes , I could see the pain she felt for khultum even though she kept hitting her . She wasn't a bad person either , she also doesn't deserve everything from Ahmad , she wasn't happy . All this while , I was stealing her happiness away from her .
I badly want to leave him but my constant yearning for him keeps bringing me back . I didn't know when I picked my phone and dialed his number.
His soft husky voice welcomed me immediately he picked up , I didn't know when tears clouded my eyes , I tried talking but I couldn't. The pain of staying away from someone you love was too much . On the other hand he was another woman's husband and happiness .
I ended the call and dropped the phone. I cried my heart out , remembering every single damn memory I shared with him .
I was prepared but it still hurts !.
Nasrin .
I woke up as early as eight in the morning,with so much good energy , which I didn't know where it was coming from .
For some reason I don't know , I was happy , genuinely happy .
I hopped downstairs, remembering everything that happened yesterday, my mind stapling on the time he mentioned his past .
I was curious.
I thought about the night ummah told me how he changed from a normal kid to a notorious one .
He has caused nothing but pain to me since I got entangled with him , At this point I realized I wasn't to stay sad , angry and cry because of a part of his story I heard from khultum. I felt there was more to everything and right now it was time to start fulfilling the promise I made to ummah because deep down in me , something keeps pushing me to try , I might be happy someday .
I decided to fry yam and egg source with hibiscus tea .
I pealed the yam and started to fry not before placing the hibiscus leaves in a tea pot , I added the necessary ingredients in the tea before allowing it to boil .
After frying the yam and sauce, I placed it in a warmer and sieved the hibiscus leave out of the tea before putting it in a tea flask .
I took everything to the dinning before sitting down to eat .
I heard movements coming from the stairs and I looked up to see Ahmad coming downstairs. He walked towards me and sat on the dinning without saying a word .
He picked a plate and dished out food , leaving me to wonder why he's now willing to eat the food I cook .
"Addah nasrin!!!" I heard Asma call my name , I turned and looked at her with a smile .
"Good morning " she greeted I and Ahmad .
Humaira followed suit and also greeted , I smiled at them before asking how their night was .
"Well it was fun yet short" humaira said sounding goofy .
"What is wrong with you humaira" I asked her.
"I'm still sleepy" she said with a baby voice .
This girl never seize to amaze me , she's always acting like a baby because she's the last born .
"No one woke you up so why are you complaining, me I'm not mama fah . You're not my last born" I said playfully.
They both laughed and walked to dish out their breakfast.
After then we sat in silence for a while before Asma broke it .
"Ya Ahmad , don't forget you're taking us out today" Asma said .
I looked at his face , his facial expression neutral.
" I know , where do you want to go to" he asked while sipping his tea .
I looked away as humaira and Asma exchange words secretly .
If you don't actually know that they were in-laws , you would think they were blood sisters .
"Uhmm addah , where do you think we should go to" Asma turned , asking me .
I looked at her with a smile before saying " it's your decision" .
Tbh , I also needed fresh air , I want to play and remember that I'm still a teenager. It doesn't hurt to remember.
"Let's go to cilantro " humaira said .
"Yes ya Ahmad , let's eat there" Asma added.
" Okay" he shortly replied them .
"I want to go to magic land" I didn't know when my mouth betrayed me .
I felt Ahmad look at me , I raised my eyes and our eyes locked , we stared at each other for seconds before I looked away .
" Is that all" he replied, me in particular.
I pretended like he wasn't talking to me as I fetched out more tea.
" Let's go paint balling" Humaira said and I and Asma shouted " no" at the same time .
"Okay" she said in a bore tune .
"You should get ready before I get back by three" Ahmad said before leaving the dining area to go out .
"I think I'm going back to sleep before that time" humaira said and I also agreed to doing that .
I hopped upstairs to my room before unlocking my phone , I checked the time and it was just 12 in the morning.
After replying all my unread messages, I layed my head on a pillow and sleep caressed me immediately.
"Addah nasrin wake up , it's past time" I heard Humaira's voice wake me up from my deep slumber .
I opened my eyes slowly to see humaira and Asma both dressed in black abayas . I smiled at how pretty they both looked .
"Babies look beautiful" I said yawning .
"We know right" Asma replied smiling .
"Addah nasrin , ya Ahmad will be here in no time" humaira added .
"Kehh don't eat me , I'm going to bath already" I said standing up from the bed .
"We will be waiting downstairs before you finish" Asma said before they left .
I entered the bathroom and bathed , dressed in a black abaya , I rolled a black veil over my head before spraying my favorite oud , I applied a little make up on my face before walking out of the room .
I got downstairs to notice Ahmad typing on his phone ,wearing a white kaftan and a black Armani cap . I didn't want to start admiring how handsome he was looking so I removed my eyes .
"Omg , I'm so stealing this abaya" Asma said making me to smile at her .
"I even have a confession to make" humaira added laughing .
"What's that"
"I stole your abayas before you got married" she replied laughing, she started to move back because she knew what was coming her way .
"I caught her before she could move any further , I dragged her ears before pinching any part of her body my hands came in contact with .
"Ouuch addah, my earssss !!" She said amidst pain and laughter .
"Your punishment" I said with a pouty lips before adjusting my veil .
"Let's go" A manly voice erupted , which was clearly ahmads .
We all followed him as he went outside , A black Range Rover was parked close to the porch.
I hoped in the passengers sit , while the girls sat in the back sit .
The ride to magic land was quiet , only the low sound of music playing and everyone else occupied with their phones expect Ahmad who was driving .
I was in my wattpad reading " tainted Cinderella" , I didn't notice when we got there .
We all hoped down and entered , Ahmad walking behind us .
"Who's up for some ice cream" Asma shouted , immediately we entered.
"Mee!!" I and humaira squealed.
"What flavors ?" She asked again .
"I want a chocolate truffle with bunny tracks and black berry toppings"I said and she nodded .
"Ya Ahmad which flavors should I get you" humaira asked him .
"Don't worry about me humaira , just have my credit card" I heard him say calmly .
"No , I'm getting you ice cream" humaira objected and I smiled at how nice she was trying to be with him .
I watched them walk hastily to the ice cream corner , while feeling ahmads presence at my back .
After few minutes they came back holding two cones of ice cream each , Asma handed me mine , while humaira gave Ahmad his saying " vanilla is everyone's fav , so I got you vanilla"
I watched as he collected it and gave her a smile before saying thank you .
"Asma let's ride on the roller coaster " humaira said happily .
"Yes , let me get the tickets" Asma replied with the same energy before walking to the ticket section.
I looked by my side to see Ahmad gently licking his ice cream.
I started to admire how cute he was looking while he sticked out his tongue to lick the ice cream .
I averted my eyes to Asma who came back with the tickets .
"Addah nasrin are you also riding with us ?" She asked .
"No I'm scared" I said almost laughing , that Shiit scares me a lot .
"Ya Ahmad , you have ice cream on your cheeks" humaira said , interrupting Asma from replying me .
I looked up to his face , he had ice cream painted on a side of his cheek .
A chuckle erupted my mouth causing the girls to also laugh at how funny he was looking with both the ice cream and a hard face .
He tried reaching his hands to clean it but he kept on ruffling it the more .
"Addah , kigoge mai ( clean it for him )" Asma said amidst laughter .
"Huhh" I replied ,my mind zoning out because I wasn't going to do it .
"You should clean it for him , you're the only one still with your ice cream napkin" humaira said .
"Ohh" was all I said before walking closer to him , he was looking at me all this while . The stain still on his cheek making him look cute and childish .
Few inches between us, his smell already captivating my soul . I raised my hand to his face with the napkin , I could feel his eyes piecing mine , I gently placed the napkin on his skin before wiping it gently.
I looked away to his piecing eyes which held tiredness . I watched his eyes roll down to my lips . Staring at them before looking back to my eyes .
The feeling of the same butterflies I felt on my prom ,flying in the pit of my stomach.
"O teach me how I should forget to think!, for never was a story of more woe than this of Juliet and her Romeo!" Asma rolled out a famous love quote ,interrupting our eye staring competition.
I backed away immediately , totally ashamed of myself.
"Someone is blushing" humaira said while laughing, making Asma laugh along with her .
I felt really embarrassed so I started to walk ahead of them .
After the ticket guard collected their tickets , I watched as Asma and humaira hop on the roller coaster .
The ride started and I heard ahmads phone ring .
He walked a little bit far from me and I remembered what happened a while ago , a slight tingle forming in my stomach. I picked my phone to chat rufaida up .
"Omgg that was the best roller coaster ride I have had before" I heard humaira say immediately they came down to me .
"Wlh , it was fun but I felt like throwing up" Asma added .
"I want to ride on the water splash" I finally said after I finished my ice cream.
Humaira and asma looked at each other .
"Who wants to go with me" I saw a very mischievous glint in humaira eyes , her and asma shook their head negative.
"Me I'm scared of that ride" humaira said , Asma nodding after her .
"Danallah mana , it's the only ride I want to ride on , and I'm scared to ride alone" i said sincerely.
"Toh ya Ahmad should ride with you" Asma said while turning to look at him .
"No!"I only want to ride with you girls" I said , already imaging if I was to ride with him .
"Addah , just ride with him ,we are already tired , and besides we are going to get cotton candy , right Asma ?" Humaira asked Asma with a funny smirk .
I was about to object again when ahmads voice interrupted.
" You should go get the candy , I will ride with her" he said with a straight face , moving forward to get the ticket .
I looked at him unable to object , the girls walking away to get the candy .
I face palmed my face defeatedly, I trudged to where he stood ,when he got the tickets we joined the queue; when it was our turn Ahmad gave the man our tickets.
I started thinking of our sitting arrangement, I want to seat in front but that will be scary.
Negotiation gathered all my thoughts , Ahmad was already seated in the first section maybe he knew my concern, the ticket man cleared his throat looking impatient, without thinking I sat in front of Ahmad.
His scent wafted my nose immediately, I could feel the heat radiating of his body on my back making me relax a little,the shark started floating forward .
I hope I don't regret this , the water from all the previous splashes wet my shoe which reminded me of the time I use to seat at the back and butt will become wet.
The shark turned heading for the first splash,the sound of us moving up , with my body pressed against his, I couldn't tell which one it was that caused butterflies in my tummy.
We reached the peak , there was a five second suspense before I heard my scream , and two strong arms holding me tight as I held the rail like my life depended on it, there was a huge splash, I let out a shaky breath , it was always after the first that makes me regret getting on the ride, I could see humaira and asma from where we were laughing with their phone held up.
His hands were still on my body , holding me tight , Making sparkles within me. The shark zoomed of again and left another huge splash causing me to let another scream . Ahmad tightened his hold on me . I started to feel safe and complex , I relaxed a bit and his hands loosed a bit too ,making me to let out a shaky breath .
The ride came to an end with ahmads hands still around me , he removed it to unbuckle his belt and me also unbuckling mine . I came out of the shark , my body still tensed and nervous from his hold .
We both pretended like nothing happened, making things really awkward as we walked to Humaira and Asma .
"Omgg cutest couple in the universe" humaira drooled , while they both looked at something on her phone and back at us .
I rolled my eyes at her before stopping in front of her to see what she's looking at on her phone .
"Ya Ahmad did you see the way you were holding her, you were trying to protect your baby and it was so cute"Asma said shamelessly making a blush to creep on my cheeks .
I collected Humaira's phone to see a thousand of pictures and videos she took of us while on the ride .
My eyes caught a picture where I was coincidentally holding ahmad's left hand which I can't remember holding , his other hand was firmly around me and he had a cute smile on his lips .
The picture reminded me of a cute couple I have always admired . It looked nothing like reality , it looked like we were the happiest of all couples .
I cringed at the weird feeling , about the picture before Asma handed me my cotton candy .
We spent another thirty minutes, Asma and humaira riding on different rides . We finally left to eat .
We got to cilantro slightly after magrib prayers , it was already getting late . We hoped out of the car and entered, the place was filled with people mostly lovebirds ,As we walked further we started Gaining so much eyes attention from people which I wondered why .
After checking the menu , I didn't really have any appetite heavy food so I settled for " fried noodles with strimps and carrot Halwa" .
Ahmad excused himself after ordering water and went outside .
I was halfway through my food when I heard a familiar voice call my name , I looked up to see Amir standing beside our table with his signature smile .
"Amir!!" Humaira beat me to calling his name .
I let out a smile as he called her name with the same energy .
I turned my gaze to Ahmad , who was walking back to the table with a face wondering what was going on .
Amir sat on the free seat beside me , and Ahmad sat opposite me beside humaira , Ahmad glanced at the place Amir Sat before shifting his eyes back to his phone.
"Nasbee what's up" nasbee since when, this guy and his hauka.
"Nothings up,you?" I decide to just ignore the nickname I could feel Ahmad's eyes on me.
" work, work and my lost love" he said with a sad face then masked it with a smile.
"Lost love kuma" I let out a nervous laughter, I knew where this was going.
"Yes now as you can see the girl that I liked was taking awa-." I was quick to interrupt him.
" ahh you came alone" I said locking my eyes with a very tensed Ahmad.
"Nope I came with my friends" i was about to reply him when Ahmad's voice interjected.
" I think it's rude to leave your friends like that, you've said your greetings" Ahmad said with finality and a stern voice.
I looked at his eyes , they were tensed ,a slight part was holding
jealousy .
