*MY WORLD*
EPISODE 9
Khadijah's POV
I was sitting with Jameelah in our class and we were just reminding ourselves about Saffiya's wedding ceremony and all the misbehaviours we did....the plenty food she made me eat and all the teases about AlJannah.
Just then someone entered the class and my eyes mistakenly fall onto him and my little crystal jumped making me feel so uncomfortable...i can feel my palms getting sweaty....he really has so much effect on me! To add unto it,he never takes his eyes off me and that makes me melt at all times,at least now,i don't need to argue with my heart on whether i have a crush on him or not,i do have a crush on him....but i wont let it show,i will do my best to control my uncontrollable hormones.
His seat was two seats away from the seat nearby....whenever i turn back,i bump onto his eyes,to avoid his gaze,i stopped turning back,not completely though.
He said his Salaam and took his seat. He seemed uncomfortable today,i don't know why? Why do i care?
***
Home is sweet today. Mum,Saaleha,Sameerah and Dad were all resting at the veranda and a plate of cake was in their midst....some refreshments too. Saaleha rested her head on mum's laps and Sameerah did the same with Dad,the only ones absent were Fatima and I.....am coming to join them soon.
I really love this unity. I ran upstairs without anyone seeing me,i took bath,performed my prayer,ran down again and tantaraaaaa!
FATIMAH!!!
Dad called Fatima over just to make us complete,she came with cute baby boy Bashirr. Saaleha and Sameera busied themselves with him and i was still observing everything at the door.
"Hey miss,are you gonna continue looking at us like that,ain't you part of us?" Fatimah again,smh....this big girl huh!
"Not really,i was waiting for an invitation" i said and they all laughed.
"Hey you two...bring the man here!" Dad said to the two girls because he was right....Bashirr was the only Man around,The Big Man,hahaa.
"He gets cuter by the day" i told Fatima and she just smiled....she really loves her Baby Man,it's her treasure,Her gift from Allaah!
"Lets go and talk inside." Fatimah said...she always loves privacy talk with me,huh,it seems my life is more interesting than hers,lol
"You girls,where do you think you are going? Don't isolate yourselves from us!" Dad said acting sad and we only laughed and went upstairs.
"Do you know Jelinaa,i saw HIM at the hospital." I told Fatima.
Okay,you might wanna know about this mysterious hospital guy whom i....you know,just like Fatima said...
Lemme complete it,whom i thought i killed!
"He is alive!" Fatimah said,she could not believe it.
"Finally you are free from the thought of killing someone right?" She asked.
"Yes,now i don't dream about it usually but its not fully gone,His name is Uthman,i found out that day when i was sent to the hospital from the nurse taking care of him....but he is Uthman Naadir,as far as i know,the Naadirs here are respectable people,but maybe he is not related to them." I said.....
**flashback**
I went shopping with mum and Fatimah and we entered a shop where i saw a very beautiful dress.
We left that shop and went to another shop,i remembered the dress and went back to get it....i was very childish by then,maybe that was why i was stucked on that dress.
I went inside and i saw a man,a gentle guy whom no one would ever suspect....
"Hey little girl,please come with me,i need to choose a dress for my daughter but i don't know which one to choose....can you kindly help me Feesabiilillaah" he said.... i did not want to go with him at first but Dad said if anyone requests anything from you saying Feesabiilillaah,you should not say No. I decided to go with him
He took me to a small shop,i entered and he locked the door behind him. I started getting nervous and i could not shout! I was just like that,even when i cry,i normally cry silently.
"Just let me go please,my family's leaving me behind,pleasssssse....what do you really want from me? " ,i cried and asked him the last part, he reached out for my bossom and said "i want you" he said in a filthy manner,i decided to stop crying and save myself,my chastity,my dignity,my pride.
He was touching my neck with his filthy lips and i was feeling as the most disgusting girl ever....i looked around and just then,i saw a glass jar on the table....i picked that up and slashed it on his head,he fell down with blood all over him and i ran away. I reached the door and struggled a little to open it,then i succeeded. I ran so far away that i was so lonely,i started shouting "i killed him,i killed him," i said with sobs and cries.
Just then,i realised my family was in the other shop,i ran to that shop and Alhamdulillaah,they were there. I acted as if i was alright,mum did not observe me well but Fatimah did.
Just when we reached home,she came into my room and met me covered in my blanket,crying a lot.
"What happened my doll?" She asked with worried eyes
"Nothing!" I tried to hide but i knew that would never work.
"Dont you dare lie to me dolly,please,am your big sister,if you don't confide in me then in who would you? Don't make me disappointed please" she said that and i realised my secret would be safe with her and she will be able to keep me a little cool.
I explained everything to her and she got furious,she wanted to file a case against him.
"How can he attempt to rape a 13year old girl? He is sooo evil unno,i wont let him go like that..." she was busy talking when i cut her short
"I SAID HE IS DEATH!!!" I kinda shouted so that she will know why i was dead scared.
"Fatimah,what will Allaah do to me? I killed someone Faaatimah" i said crying and she tried to console me
"Allah know you wanted to safe yourself,Allaah knows you were being oppressed,Allah knows what your heart contains....maybe the police of this dunya will want to arrest you but Allah knows the truth, and i will make sure no police will ever take you with them. Trust me and forget about it...just be more careful ok." She said. I have to admit,her words helped and i calmed a little.
But i started dreaming about it every night and i only talk about it with Fatimah.
**flashback ends**
"But what if he is related to them?" Fatimah said regarding Uthman's relationship with the Naadirs
"I don't know what will happen but i got relieved when i realised he did not die,Alhamdulillaah wa shukrulillaah!" I said with great relief
"Hey Khadi and Tima,come and join us!" Saaleha came to call us and made an end to our convo.
"Ok" we both said and went with her.
I had to take the chance of enjoying with my family as much as i can because our final exams will start next month and i need to shift,leaving my sweet family and problematic lovely mum behind.
She makes me cry,but i do love her unconditionally!
