RAYS OF HOPE✔

Chapter 14

"If you know you're incapable of this one job then you better tell me so I'll find someone else to do it, or rather I'll just execute it myself!" A woman declared aggressively via a phone call.

"Take a chill pill Aunt. I know what I'm doing so..."

"Oh please! Don't tell me that nonsense of knowing what you're doing. Since when have you been saying the same thing? Actions speaks louder than words you know. Time awaits no one. And I hate pills so don't even tell me to take one." The woman replied sarcastically, shaking her legs to and fro on the couch she sat on in an impatient manner.

Shaking her head, the young lady from the other end threw her head back and laughed sinisterly. "Sabr, my dear Aunt, sabr. I already have my plans up my sleeve and trust me I'm more eager than you to execute them but this is not the time yet. I'm waiting for the right time to strike. At the last minute which will be so overwhelming that not only her, but even you will be shocked, I promise you this. After all, we both have the same goal which is to take our enemy down so just leave it up to me."

"Now that's my girl. It's only now that you're making sense. Say no more darling. I support you one hundred percent and whenever you need my help with something regarding our plans, I'm just a call away."

"Thank you Aunt. Have no more worries and just sit back and relax. Pray for everything to work out in our favour for I just can't wait to bring that excuse of a girl down."

"My litte villian. You're gradually taken after me and that's why I love you. I wish you were here so I could give you a high five." They both cackled , a daunting and manic kind of laughter before bringing the call to an end.

"Rise and shine Humaira. It's another day to say Alhamdulillah." Adeelah softly cooed, shaking a sleeping Humaira.

"Ughh. Please allow me to sleep more. Remember today is Sunday which means no classes." She groaned and pouted whilst snuggling more into her duvet.

"You lazy girl. It's Sunday but you've to get up now. You and Maryam are going to meet someone."

"And who is that? Isn't it too early to meet anyone at this time of the day?" She yawned sleepily, shifting her body to the other side of the bed so she can continue sleeping. "And it's just what time now?" She added checking the time on her phone. "It's just 11:00am for goodness sake Adeelah! Just give me 30 more minutes, pulease!"

"Who that person is, is for me to know and you to find out. It's a suprise. All you should know is that it's someone really close to me. And yes It's 11:00am meaning you've slept enough. Now oya get up before I go into the toilet and get a container filled with water." Adeelah responded, leaving no room for arguments.

At this, Humaira hastily jerked up from the bed rubbing her sleepy eyes as she knew Adeelah is one who seldom offers empty threats. "Duh! You're such a pimple deelah. Mairo who are we meeting that she's depriving me of my beauty sleep on a Sunday?!"

Maryam who was folding her laundered raiments on her bed chuckled as she looked up at her. "Help me ask her Humairori. I also have no idea what she's planning in that crazy head of hers."

"Enough chitchat you two. Now get up and start getting ready Humairori. And you Mairo, better hurry up with those clothes. We don't have all day." Adeelah instructed didactically.

"Whatever makes you sleep at night." Humaira uttered begrudgingly getting up from the bed and then made her way to the bathroom while blabbering incoherent words about her disrupted sleep. Meanwhile, Adeelah left to her room to go get ready as well.
