THE HEARTS REAWAKENING

42: SATANIC.

KANO STATE, NIGERIA.

"You haven't called me in how many decades again?" Wafa kvetch from the other end of the line, smiling softly at an older lady that just walked past her.

"Wafaa, stop being like that. You know how I told you things are here so I'm still trying to adjust. How have you been?" Usayma took off the whine from her voice when she asked about her best friend's wellbeing.

Wafa is still in Chicago where she married a Chicagoan with her small kid Anil. No one would've thought Wafa would settle down but when Thaur came into her life, everything started off fast and then they were happily married. She is proud of her friend for not ruining her life like she did, she wouldn't advise anyone to be like her. That track she's took years before didn't make her life any easy, it tricked her into believing she'd be happy changing men.

"Yeah, the everyday excuse. I only called because Anil won't stop rambling about you. He is currently sleeping but I might call you a bit later when he awakes."

"Aw, tell him Aunt Usayma misses him a lot and send my kisses too." She grinned happily, standing off the bed to start her day and set her mission into action. "What have you been up too?"

"Nothing really. I am trying to go back to school for my masters then work in Thaur's company. For the time being, I've started my intern there in his company."

"Oh, I'm so happy for you. I'm thinking about asking Imad where I could start working too. Maybe when he starts working in his family's business." She thought the last part out loud, shrinking her brows because she really enjoy staying at home and being a mistress. It is more fun feeling like a princess than working her ass off.

"You should definitely do that." With a pause. "I gotta go, Thaur is back home and I haven't made no dinner." She hung up with a take care and kissy sound, it was enough to get a smile from Usayma. Her friend is always by her side, she could conquer the world with that succor.

She planned on going to meet Jannah Mia that afternoon so as soon as her breakfast got served by the maids which was chicken chow kein, she hit the bathroom. Her bath was filled with so many thoughts on how to approach Jannah Mia with what she has in mind. Would she accept that? She looks too comfortable with Imad and seems like she considers him nothing short of a friend, no strings attached. She don't like it, she will have to change the girl's mind as soon as she can.

Amirah is hellbent on ruining Imad but she won't let her win this time around. Imad should be cherished and from the little amount of time she's spent with Jannah Mia, she knew the woman will do that with her pure real innocence. She knows façade innocence and real one, or so she hopes. Amirah's was more blinding than Jannah Mia's so she can't exactly judge them now. She might be more malignant than Amirah could ever be.

That is why she is going to play her game well. It is like a game of chess, it's either the King or the Queen and in this case. It's either Amirah or Jannah Mia.

Dressed in apricot maxi dress seasoned with bishop long sleeves, scoop neckline and a belt around the middle, Usayma is almost ready to go. She added a lever back earring that has small diamond attached to it, adjust her chain bracelet. She slipped her feet into nude kitty heels, measuring how comfortable they are then marveled to her closet for a veil. As soon as the veil is tied around her in an Afghanistan way, she left her room with keys and phone.

"You lots know where Jannah Mia stays right? It is said not to be far from here." She questioned the maids, eyes trying to cavil her own outfit but found no flaw.

One of them moved forward and bowed, it was Jihan. "Yes, your Highness. If you will follow me." And she made her way to the door while the other three girls stay behind to be her entourage. She didn't ask for Ameena thank goodness, she should be there any moment.
