THE HEARTS REAWAKENING

55: UNSCIENTIFIC.

I dare you to comment on each paragraph for an update tonight...

KANO STATE, NIGERIA.

"Damnation!" Lateefa banged the door of her car and hit the tire in annoyance. The car just won't start when she desperately needs it to.

"Are you alright there?" She jumped away from the car and turn to see Jabir staring at her, looking thoroughly amused of the situation she's in. She almost lashed out on him then decide that he is a nice man from the beginning and cool down.

She rolled her eyes though, she couldn't stop herself from doing so. "I'm obviously not alright. I have so many things to do but the damn car decided to fail me." She hit the car again, she cannot stop herself from doing so.

Jabir nodded his head in understanding when he didn't understand, he just wants to reassure her that he does. Lateefa have it in her to keep rambling on and on when she is angry or nervous but this time it is definitely anger.

"How about I drop you wherever it is you want to go?" He offered, wiggling his keys in his hands since he was supposed to see his friend but that could wait.

"Ah, you are a lifesaver." She opened the door again, removed her tote handbag and close the door back slowly this time around. She locked the car and followed him to his Lexus LX570 and swooned. That is the latest Lexus in town but the guy already changed to it? Wow, money good!

"Where to now?"

"Uh, Amirah's house. You know where she lives right?" She turn around to look at him, totally forgetting to take her gum from the car and she feels uncomfortable with her breath now. She hasn't eaten a thing since breakfast and it is already twelve in the afternoon.

"Yes I do. The wedding is tomorrow, huh?" He drummed his fingers against the steering wheel while curiously waiting for her to talk about the so called wedding he doesn't want to happen.

He's been with Imad this whole time and has been waiting for the guy to throw a tantrum but he didn't. He is as cool as a cucumber which made him believe that the guy have something off his sleeve or he has really moved on and don't want to avenge his broken heart. From what they've talked about though, Imad was not willing to back out from this plan of his. He desperately wanted to join so he could save the duo but Imad is too secretive nowadays especially with Amirah concerned.

The guy could make a terrible mistake that he will forever regret and Jabir is just looking out for his brother and friend. He might think what he is doing is what he should and supposed to at times like this but you never know without merging someone in your problems. That is where Imad is still immature! He thinks he knows it all when that is not the reality of it, he makes mistakes only to find it out when it is too late.

"Yeah, we are going to rock that wedding and make sure some people regret their decision. You know, you always have people watching your moves especially when they cannot move on." She shrugged her riddles off but he knows what she is talking about, who wouldn't?

He smiled at that. "Yeah, people are always watching and I would want them to see what they are missing too."

At that moment, she pivoted her attention away from the windshield to stare at him and he did the same thing, their eyes clashing with unknowing force that both triggered and galvanised them. What was that that just happened seconds ago? Are they bonding a connection after everything they've been through in the past? Is there even a connection between them that could ever sprout out giving their lives and the circle they have?

She was first to look away but he didn't, it is the traffic in front of them and the light won't change until fifty seconds more. He didn't know he could make her feel uneasy but he did, she is looking at anywhere but at him. He grinned widely, he's had that effect on her the minute they met but they are all brushing it off like it never happened. She cannot escape this sort of connection even if she's wants to, he also wants to be trapped inside even if she doesn't want to be.
