STICK WITH THE PEOPLE WHO PULL THE MAGIC OUT OF YOU NOT THE MADNESS.

"I'm sorry Kay, I didn't mean to hurt. I just want you to say the truth". Yusuf said trying to console me.

"Yaya why did you think I take drugs? I might do anything, but Drugs!?." Khadijah said while still crying.

"I'm sorry, I should have never asked. Please forgive me." Yusuf said.

I didn't utter a single word, I laid down on the bed, wrapped myself with a blanket then turned to the other side so that I won't see him.

Seeing that, Yusuf murmured a 'I'm sorry Kay', the next I heard was him closing the door gently.

"Are you guys done with the baking?" Ummi asked while entering the kitchen.

"Almost done ummi." Khadijah answered.

Tomorrow is Khalifa's graduation, so we decided to throw a little party for him, we have been working in the kitchen since morning, making what to eat for the party.

I'm feeling good now, no more headache or dizziness. Yaya has put me on drugs since the day I fainted. Yes. Umma told him how much I hate taking drugs so he comes every time I'm taking, to make sure I didn't vomit out.

The first day I took the drugs, I went straight to the toilet,vomited everything I took that morning, including the medicine. Luck was not on my side, ya Yusuf heard when I was vomiting and he made me take another set of drugs again. He stayed with me for like 20mins before he decided to leave so that I won't repeat again. So sweet right? Yeah!.

"Maryam what about the samosas? Are you done with it?" Ummi asked.

"No Ummi am choked up here, can you please help." She said.

"Okay, let me help you with the samosa then, where's my phone let me call ukti(Umma) to come also." Ummi said.

"I think you left it the the parlor. Khadijah said. Let me bring it for you." Khadijah added.

On my way to the parlor, I bumped into yaya.

"Subhanallah, sorry I didn't see you coming," I apologized.

"I see you've been dodging me. Did I do anything wrong?" He asked

Of course I was dodging him, since when Maryam told me he was the one that held me when I was falling the other day.

"No, I'm just busy this days." I said

True, I was busy but not too busy to go Mia for him.

"Okay then, since you said so. What are you doing?" He asked

"Yes, we're baking for Khalifa's graduation." I answered.

"Oh, baking? What are you baking?" He asked.

"Cake?" I said more like a question.

"Oh okay,can i help you then?" He inquired.

"Don't worry, Ummi is already helping us with the samosa. Oh my God! She sent me to get her phone." Khadijah said.
