Chapter 28| Mr. and Mrs. Ali

Rayyana's POV

Come on Sabha pick up 

I checked my nails to see them chewed up, i grumbled at them but continued biting them. It had been a few hours and Sabha hadn't called any of us. Well, I guess me and Rabia since Soojin probably has her blocked. I sighed and turned my phone off tutting.  

"Did she pick up?" Rumaisa asked from my bed rudely chewing on some popcorn she had made herself. I shook my head and sat down beside Rumaisa defeated. Never in a million years would I have ever thought that my best friends would ever separate. 

Even though Sabha was in the complete wrong here, I couldn't help but worry about her. Suddenly, our doorbell rang, I grunted and got up feeling lazy. I opened the door and gasped when I saw Sabha standing there with a girl beside her. 

"Sabha!" I pulled her into a hug telling myself not to cry. I looked at the girl beside her who was standing outside "Oh uh, come in." I told her putting Sabha down on my sofa gently because she wasn't moving. 

"Hi, I'm Maha." the girl-Maha- said putting her hand out for me to shake. I squinted her trying to remember where I had heard that name before. Suddenly, my eyes widened and I looked at Sabha who was just sitting there. 

"Maha? The same Maha who broke Sabha's trust?" She flinched and pulled her hand away "What are you doing here? and why are you hanging out with Sabha?" she sighed and sat down beside Sabha saying nothing for a while. 

"Well... I... we...." 

"Were stepsisters." Sabha mumbled

"WHAT?" I turned to see Rabia standing there, she held a soda but she dropped it and ran up to Maha and held her by her collar. "Rabia!" I yelled making Rumaisa come running out of my room. 

"Me and Soojin may not be in best terms with Sabha right now, but that doesn't mean that you off all people can come near her." I pinched Rabia making her wince and drop Maha. 

"Are you okay?" I say helping Maha up, she coughed and nodded while sitting down on my sofa. "I... came here to t-tell Sabha about us being related, nothing more." She stopped coughing after Rumaisa gave her a water bottle. 

"I already told Sabha that whatever I did in the past, stay's in the past." Rabia and I looked at each other wondering if Sabha forgave her or not. 

"She has been quiet ever since. I didn't know what to do because she wasn't moving or anything, then I noticed your number in her phone so I brought her here." 

Sabha suddenly got up and turned to Maha "Do you have any fucking idea what your mom has done to me?" Maha put down her glass and placed her hands in her lap. The fact that she was so quiet had me mad a little bit but this was Sabha's fight. 

"I LOST MY FRIENDS BECAUSE OF YOU, I LOST MY FUCKING FAMILY BECAUSE OF YOU, I LOST EVERYTHING BECAUSE OF YOU!" Maha sat there, not moving or saying anything. 

"Don't fucking think just because we are "related" that I would welcome you with open arms and just say "okay!" because I'm not going too." Maha nodded at her "I'm only here Sabha because your dad want's too see you." 

Sabha scoffed "See me for what? So he could show me how well he's doing?" Maha took a deep breath "Sabha, the only reason he hasn't talked to you or sent money to your family is because one of his organs failed."

Me, Rumaisa, and Rabia gasped, while Sabha stood there shaking. 

"W-what?" Sabha said raising an eyebrow. "That's right Sabha, he needs you, he needs his blood." Sabha stood there with tears in her eyes.
