Maya walked along the corridors upstairs and found Layla's room door opened a little. She stopped and peeped in, luckily she wasn't there. She opened the door and slowly walked in.
"Layla?" She called but no one answered then her gaze shifted to the red phone which was ringing on the mirror table.
She looked outside the room and then walked to the mirror.
She collected the phone and saw the person who called her.
Just an unknown number she didn't know.She waited for the call to end and then collected the phone scrolling through her call logs.
She has been seeing this number starting with a five like five times now and she was curious, could that be who she spoke to about her and Karl?"I need a pen" she looked around the room for a pen, and when she found one in the drawer, she quickly jotted the number on her palms and left quickly.
.......
"Rina just listen to me" flora said as she and Rina drove. It was Saturday so Rina and flora were out driving but instead of girls time, Flora disturbed Rina of telling Karl the, you know what."Rina, it's the only right way"
"I don't care about right or wrong flora, if I tell him and Layla knows then you know what will happen, and I can't let that happen, please try to understand"
Flora was quiet, how else would she explain to her.
She know that this is how the whole problem would start. Rina keeping quiet as usual as she is, then Layla doing something terrible then their relationship being ruined. But what could she do? Rina wouldn't listen."Flora please don't look at me like that? I get what you mean, but flora, Davis and Karl's friendship is something valuable to ruin and I can't let that happen. If I keep quiet everything will be fine. Layla won't do anything......."
"Who said she wouldn't do anything? Rina she might tell you all these but even though you keep your mouth shut she will still do it. She can't just sit there do nothing when she knows very well you won't say a thing......."
"Flora please....."
"Please what?" She faced the window.
"Flora....try to understand me, don't be mad"
"Am not mad Rina, I will only be mad if because of you, Karl's relationship with you will go down"
"It won't now please calm down okay?"
"Fine but if Layla......"
"Layla won't do anything" Rina said before her phone rang.
She looked at the screen and saw Karl on it. She answered the phone."Hey" she said.
"What's up, how're you doing?"
"I am fine, just driving with flora"
"Okay, I um called because I might be coming very late today, not sure what will happen, might not get the chance to call you"
"Why? You can continue the work tomorrow"
"Tomorrow is Sunday" Rina sighed.
"Alright" she finally said."You are not mad?"
"Am not" she had other reasons to be mad of (Layla).
"Okay, see you later, love you"
"Love you too" she said and the call ended.
"Why is your face like that?" Flora looked at Rina.
"Flora I am just tired nothing else"
"Tired of what?"
"Tired of things okay" she stopped the car and wind down the window.
"Can I get two banana ice cream?" Rina said and the man started preparing it.
"What kind of things? Layla?" Flora asked not wanting to leave this topic alone.
"I don't know okay......."
"Madam here's your ice cream" the man came and they collected it.
"Thanks" Rina wind up the window and drove off.
.........
Maya sat on her desk and brought out her phone.
She had collected the whoever's number Layla called a lot and now she wanted to try calling it."Five five five" she said and she heard Janet call her name.
"Maya!"
"Yes mom coming" she remained on her seat typing the number in her keypad.
"Maya!"
"Coming!" She dropped her phone and left forgetting to off it.
.......
.......
Layla entered her room and collected her phone."Three missed calls?" She tapped her phone and called.
"Hello" she answered the call.
"I'm so sorry, I left my phone here......."
Maya walked back upstairs and found Layla speaking to who she doesn't know in her room with her door wide open.
"Alright, I will see you later" Layla smiled and ended the call.
Maya left quickly when she saw Layla turning around."Oh so she was spying on me" Layla folded her arms seeing maya leave quickly.
"Well that's what I want, I purposely didn't disturb you when stealing a number from my phone......get the number, call it and see who it is Maya, you're just the only way I can go through with this. And that Rina, she thinks I will not do anything even if she keeps her mouth shut, tsk what a fool" Layla shook her head and left. She felt she was the only one who had a brain living in this house.
"Okay, five, nine, three....two" maya typed the numbers on her palm into her phone keypad.
"Why is it bringing out Davis contact?" She looked at her phone.
"The same numbers?" She furrowed her brows.
"But why does Layla......" she flashed back to what Layla was saying on the phone in the kitchen.
"I know but don't you know, he prefers maya to me so I don't get that kind of affection and care. I and my father are like just little guest"
"Why is she telling Davis that and......how did she even know him? What is even wrong with her?" She said in annoyance. She stood up from her chair and met Layla smiling at her when she turned around.
"Hey, were you talking about me?" Layla pointed to herself.
"Who does it looks like? Catarina?" Layla chuckled.
"Oh am sorry, thought it was someone else" she smiled her usual smile.
Maya looked at her, at that moment, Layla's smile creeped her."Now you know, tell me why you were talking to Davis about you not getting any care affection?"
"So you were eavesdropping?" Layla raised her eyebrows pretending like she didn't know.
"You think I care? Why did you lie to him?"
"Lie? I did not lie to anyone. I said the truth, I don't get any care, affection or even love from this house. All of you suspects me for no reason. Only Karl, mom and dad that gets me but you and Rina, not at all"
"No, only I and Rina gets you, Karl, dad and mom do not get you, they don't see who you really are, the pathetic bitch that gives a very disgusting smile like she's friends with you"
Layla burst out in laughter after maya finished talking.
Ughh! Maya felt like tearing her hairs out, so annoying!"Alright alright I agree, you get me, that's why I want to share my little secret to you"
"What secret?"
"Shhhh someone might hear"
"Just talk" maya said rudely.
"Okay I will tell you, just an advice"
"I think you should spend more time with your brother oh I mean our brother......because very soon.....he will be alone" she lowered her voice in the last four words.
Maya felt like hitting her on the face."What do you mean be alone?"
"Figure that out"
