*MY WORLD*
EPISODE 27
Jameelah's POV
Upon hearing Zainaab say 'Mustapha',I jolted from my rest position and quickly grabbed Khadijah's phone from her....
"Don't pick it" I quickly shook my head hiding the phone behind me. She shot me an ^are you alright?^ look but I stood still till the phone stopped ringing.
"Jameelah,if this is one of your jokes then let me tell you,It's. Not. Funny!" She gritted her teeth to show me that It's. Not. Funny.
"This ain't any joke baebeh....this is a serious case." I sat on the bed and handed her phone to her.
"Then explain!" She ordered as I rolled my eyes on her overreacting nature.
"Someone get me out of the dark" Zainaab joined in blinking thrice.
"I know I have a lotta explanation to give and I will,so just listen." I tried to calm them down before they chop my head off.
I had been wanting to say this since a long time ago,today,I shall get it off my shoulders. I looked at Khadijah to seek permission whether I can talk in the presence of Zainaah who was busy having chocolates which Azeez gave us on the way and didn't notice us. She nodded and I cleared my throat....story,story!"I know all of this started with me...or maybe,it kinda did because I matched you up with Mustapha,as a joke." I paused to see her reaction which was a full curious face "I am the one who also told you that he loves you,remember?" She nodded "I did heard Mustapha say something like that at the hospital and I told you." I paused to ask her a question. "Ok,I want to ask you a question...Do you,by any chance,have any wee feelings for him?" I asked and looked at her face which was changing expressions time and again. She seemed confused,as if,she was having a convo with her mind. She took 3 minutes but still no answer.
"Lala lala laa laa" Zainaah started blabbering and giggling with mischievous eyes. She was indeed enjoying the topic "no need to answer baby sis,we know through your blushes." She added and Khadijah tapped her arm on which she shouted an ^ouch^ and kept mute.
"It's ok,then,I kept things going smoothly...before I forget,I gave him your dial too and I explained why...things were cool and I really loved imagining the two of you...I mean,so cute together,like...A Match Made In Heaven,I still love the match but something seems 'not right'" Khadijah gave me a sad and confused look which made me pause.
"What is it?" She longed to hear the next part. My heart broke as if I was her.
I brought my phone out and played the recording for her....yup,I recorded it all,for a clearer proof.
Khadijah listened to every bit of it...infact,she replayed it again. She looked like someone in another world,she forgot that we were around.
A dot of a tear appeared on her face which she wiped off quickly.The Audio ended again and she handed me the phone,trying to talk too but she kept on opening and closing her mouth...as if words weren't ready to flow. She swirled her hands in a questioning way and muttered a dry "H-h-how?" Really! Khadijah is definitely a strong girl and that is why,she gets broken time and again,but still...reforms herself. She has been broken again. Ya Allaah,heal my baby.
She started shaking her head and Zainaab and I both gave her a comforting hug.
"Don't cry for that Shit-for-brains...he who does not even know the heart,talkless of giving it a value,does not deserve these precious tears. Thank Allaah for showing you his true colours even before you went deep for him. He Is an Arse!" Zainaab spoke with distaste.
"I-I mean...why?" A very sad voice followed "he texted me that I was his queen,that was all a freaking plan? Hanh? And I,being the moron of all times,let my heart fall for him" she shook her head "nay,it was just a crush...love lasts forever,but crush ends some day!" She ended and closed her eyes letting the small tears fall.
