Episode 23; the friendship begins

So far so good any time ya Mahmoud is coming he comes with his nephew( Abdul Malik) he is studying here in London while ya Mahmoud works here. They are starting to get along with hidaya

Well Abdul-Malik is 19 while Hidaya is 14. She is young tho but there is nothing among them. Everyone has noticed that he will be the one to
1.Express  unending love and support to her
2.School her in social skills.
3.Not make her feel 'broken'
4.Respect her for who she is.
5.Talk about everything

He also requested to be picking her from her therapy sessions everyday unless he has a tight schedule. Aunty abu accepted and currently they are at the Museum

Abdul Malik used his phone to snap her unaware but she show him

"Abdul don't snap me please" she said walking to his side

"Hidaya do you know how long that Dinosaur lived before he died and they bought his skeleton here?" Abdul Malik asked Hidaya while he points at it completely ignoring her request

"Nope, I don't know" she replied interested

"It lived for 1500years" he said or rather read, because it was written below it

"Ahhhh Abdul" she shouted before she continued, "lying is not good" she said really surprised

"Okay let's ask the museum guide" he advised to which she agreed and he walked to his place

"Excuse me sir" he said when he got there

"Hello, how may I help you" the old man asked adjusting his spectacles

"That girl over there does not want to believe that the Dinosaur lived for 1500 years before he died" Abdul Malik said pointing at hidaya

"Yes dear, our research shows that, the dinosaur that died at an early age lived for 500years only" he said when he walked to where she was standing

"Okay thank you sir" he thanked him and he left before he turned to her "Did you hear that?" He asked

"Uhmmm whatever" she replied defeatedly, "I Sha don't believe let's go. I am hungry" she continued

"Okay what do you want to eat, let's get ice cream?" He asked

"Yes, lets go home after that because I am tired" she said as they walked out and headed to the ice cream stand near the museum

"Okay ma, your wish is my command" he said when they got there. She got chocolate and strawberry while he got vanilla and Oreos. They took their ice cream as they walked in search of a cab and from no where it started raining

Non of them had an umbrella, so they ran to the nearest mall they saw

Hidaya bursted into fits of laughter when they got there

Abdul Malik looked at her and asked "why are you laughing?"

"I always enjoy playing in the rain, but my mom or sister don't allow me, the little that fell on me is what Is making me happy" she said happily

"Okay then, let's get back into the rain. I will let you have fun but take your coat off so that you will have something that is not cold to wear after we are done"  he said and she said as he said, he also took his off

"Yeah okay, how will we do with this ice cream?" She asked with the ice cream in her hand

"I don't know either, and it's not good to dump food but I guess we have no option" Abdul Malik said and collected it

They trashed the ice cream and removed the coat, they asked the shop attend to help them with it

They counted to three and ran into the rain, they really had fun in the rain. When the played for almost 5minutes, he told them to go and they went back into the mall all drenched, Abdul Malik called Mahmoud to come and pick them up which he agreed and he told them to give him at least 6-8 minutes he will be there

He got there and was so surprised to see them drenched, he sparked at the two of them before picking them up and heading to aunty abu's apartment

"La haula, Hida baby why are you drenched?" Adda marwa opened the door for them after she heard salam

"They played in water fa, they are all drenched including Malik that is in the car. Very childish set of children in gaya miki" ya Mahmoud said to her

"Subhanallahi, May god deliver them, take him home so that he will freshen up fast in other to avoid cold" she said to him then turned to hidaya, all this conversation was held in front of the door

"Hida Oya inside now and freshen up" she  said strictly

"Baby, we will speak on the phone. Byee" she replied with an "insha Allah" and ya Mahmoud left while she followed Hidaya to the room

"Why did you play in water Hida" adda marwa asked after she came into the room

"I love the rain, but mama never allows me to play in it" she stated happily

"So today you got the chance and you played koh" adda marwa asked smiling mischievously

"Yessss" she replied wearing her cap

"I will go and prepare Garlic and honey for you, and you must take it to avoid cold" she said trying to keep a straight face

"Adda marwa no please, I will not take it" a scared hidaya said, she knows her sister is capable of doing it

"Baki isa ba, tomorrow you will not enter the rain" she said laughing wickedly, because of the look on her face

"Please adda marwa" hidaya said kneeling  down

"Na you sabi that one" adda marwa said and entered the bathroom. Adda marwa won't do that, she is just pulling her leg so that she won't do it again
