TALE OF MY LOST LOVE....the most beautiful Love story that never lasted

Nightingale....the heart that cares!!

It's a beautiful cold morning but not too peaceful for Manal,Hadiza barged into her room and splashed cold water on her which made her shriek in her sleep,she woke up terrified
"Innalillahi Nanah me ya faru?"

"Nan gidan ubanki ne da zaki zo kina bacci har yanzu"

Manal checked her phone and looked back at Hadiza "this is just 7:30am Nanah"

"Iyyeee sannu,will you get up and start cleaning the house"

"Sorry what????"

"You heard me right,get up and clean the house or do you expect me to do that?"

"There are three house helps in this house"

"Ni ban isa in saka ki aiki ba kenan?"

"Nanah fisabilillah how am I suppose to do that,you very well know my health condition,because of all the things you have been making me do I had multiple attacks in the past month"

"Now you even talk back to me Manal? Looks like you have grown wings"

"I can do other things for you but not cleaning or anything too stressful,I am sick of all these medications I am not taking risks anymore,kiji tausayi na mana"

Hadiza hissed
"I don't know why your uncle even brought you here in the first place,I am sick of you being here,he should have left you there"

"Nanah It's not like I love staying here too,I have my own house and we both know I am staying here because of uncle Abdul"

"Toh gaya mun ni da bani da gidan"

"Toh nide ba haka nake nufi ba,Allah ya baki hakuri Nanah" she apologized

Hadiza threw the bowl in her hands at her
Manal covered her face with her hands and it hit her elbow which made her wince in pain

Hadiza hissed again and stomped out of the room
Manal stayed quiet,how could someone be this unthoughtful

"Ohh Allah!!!!" She called and shook her head in disbelief
She let out a deep breath
"Today is your birthday Manal don't be sad okay,honey today will be a good day today will be great In shaa Allah" she reassured herself and forced a smile

Manal took her bath,got dressed and went to the park for a walk,she feels suffocated in that house. She ordered a cake for herself on her way to the park,luckily it got delivered just when she got to the park,she paid for delivery and got a quiet spot and settled

"Happy 23rd birthday Manal,Allah ya raya ki" she cut the cake and ate a small piece

She tried so hard not to cry but she couldn't help it,she is lonely,thinking about how happy she was on her last birthday breaks her heart,her family took her on a trip to Zanzibar,she never knew that will be their last trip together.
She misses her family so much,she never thought life could change for her this way,she lived her best life being the happiest with her family,after she lost her parents everything turned awful, her uncle's wife treats her like an outcast,there is not a single day Hadiza won't say something bad to her.
All these thoughts made her cry painfully.

A woman in her early fifties walked to her
"Ohh Allah why are you crying like this all alone" Kamila knelt and held Manal
Manal looked up with her teary eyes

"Ya Allah" Kamila wiped her tears

"Let me help you up" she helped Manal up and they both sat on the bench

"What is your name?"

"Ma....Man...Manal" she sobbed

"Manal please stop crying" she cupped her face
