EPISODE 10

AUNT HAWAA'S POV

I was called by Mahmud,my elder brother, saying he wants me to take good care of her daughter and let her stay with me for her studies in university.
She only has one month to her exams and then she will shift.

I heard that she is a nice and pretty girl,calm and respectful. I really loved her even before hearing about her and i will love it when she stays with me. I can't wait to have her around,i just hope Zainab will get along with her. Zainab is my daughter who has one year to finish school. She is not a very cool girl even though she is my daughter but i hope and pray that she will get along with Khadijah and she might change too.

I also have enough money to finance her school and all other things....i don't need to say it again but Am Really Excited.

"Hey sweetie,you will not be lonely any more in a month's time inn shaa Allaah" i told Zainab excitedly

"Why? What will happen?" She asked

"Khadijah Ahmed is coming to stay with us you know" i said thinking she will like what i said but it turned out that she doesn't even care.

"Ahh ok,goodnight mum,am very sleepy" she cut the topic off and went to bed. Huh! I have been dealing with her cold behaviour since she was born. Am a mother after all,i cannot hate my own child,i am still trying to change her though!

"As salaamu alaikum Hawaa My Queen" ohh Musa,my lovely husband was back from work

"Wa alaikumus salaam My Hero,how are you today?" I asked

"Am good Alhamdulillaah but why are you standing there,what's disturbing you?" He asked with so much concern

"The usual,Zainab...i told her that Khadijah shall be staying with us from next month inn shaa Allaah and she was very cold about it,what if she treats her badly when she comes?" I shared my thoughts with him

"Don't think too much about it,maybe she will just be on her side if Khadijah finally comes" he said

"Well,you are right..." i said and was going to talk more when he cut me off

"Khadijah is not here yet so stop thinking about all these things,lets eat together,i know you are waiting for me." He knew me well....i never eat without him!

Khadijah's POV

"My advice to you guys is,help each other out before the exams. If any of you knows he can perform very well in a certain subject,then you raise your hand and you will be given a class to teach your colleagues after school hours and those teaching the core subjects will be given an hour and a half and those teaching optional subjects will be given just an hour." Mrs Ella said and a few hands got raised. I wanted to help too but am not very good in teaching others so i decided not to do so.

She wrote the students' names and the subjects they are gonna teach and i realised Mustapha Naadir was gonna teach Chemistry,a subject am not very good at. I need more concentration in that class.

"Why didn't you teach physics?" Jameela asked and i just shook my head

"Hmm,you are not in the mood" she said

"Not really,i dont wanna put so much guilt on myself by opting for it and not being able to do it correctly at the end and if anyone fails physics then i will think its my fault" i said

"Oww,ok,you are right,its gonna be a big responsibility and physics aint easy one bit." She agreed

"Are you gonna attend the classes or study alone?" Huh,this girl has too many questions.

"I wanted to study alone but i've changed my mind,group study has some more benefits you know....no more questions,let's head home straight away,i need to finish my Geography work." i answered and ended her questioning mood

"As salaamu alaikum warahmatullaah wabarakaatuh momma" i reached home and met momma sitting in the sitting room and i greeted her.

"Wa alaikumus salaam,ugh Khadijah,i want you to cook dinner today,i need to go and chat with my friends,i need some resting time right?" She asked,I wanted to tell her i have some assignments to finish but i just washed off the idea because she will think i would be only giving excuses.

"Ok mum" i said and went to my room to hurry and come down to cook.

I came down at 18:30 and started cooking...
It took me an hour to cook three different types of dishes and i was death exhausted! I was lucky that i was off prayer,if not i'd have to break the cooking and pray magrib salah and you know what if i get to my room,i dont come down easily,sometimes,i even forget that i have some work downstairs.

I set the table and called Dad and the twins for dinner.

"Maa Shaa Allaah,my dear your cooking tastes delicious!" My Dad said and i smiled.

"Yes sissy,you cook this better than mummy" Saaleha said,she was lucky that mummy aint around.

"If mummy hears you,she will chop your lips off unno." Sameerah said exactly what was on my mind and we all bursted into a long laughter.

We all ate and they went back to their rooms and i remained to clean the dishes. I did all the things i needed to do and went back to my room.
I wanted to complete my assignment but sleep consumed me. I was just so tired and sleepy.

"Khadijah,Khadijah!" That was mum calling me as i was getting ready for school.

"Yes mom" i ran down and answered.

"Why didn't you clean this cooking pot?" I looked at the cooking pot and realised that i didn't see it whiles i was washing the bowls so i forgot it.

"Ohh mum,i didn't even see it" i said

"Really,you cooked with it,washed the other bowls and you could not see it,just say you were lazy to do so....but you are not doing it to me woo,anything you do,it is for yourself,you make me talk like a machine and whenever people talk,you come with your senseless excuses,am sick amd tired!" Mum said all these and i tried hard to stop my tears from falling. I waited until mum was not around and i started crying.
I cried all the way to school. Why? Because with all the sacrifice i made and all the troubles i went through to cook,i got nothing but embarassment,am good for nothing right?
