Through her eyes

chapter 6

*Naila*

The terror I felt when I saw Leyla's mom on the ground after she saw my face cannot be explain.

I quickly rushed to touch her. I kept shaking her before she wake up few minutes later.

"Alhamdulillah"I sighed.

She quickly shift herself away from me.
"Leyla Leyla" she said in Panic.

"I need to you calm down please. I will explain everything to you."

I couldn't finished my sentence when she rushed to hug me.

"Leyla I always felt your presence. I know you're alive, I couldn't accept it. I always pray that they mistakenly buried someone else not you"

I suddenly felt guilty all of the sudden. I shouldn't have showed up at all because I gave a her a false hope.

"I'm not Leyla"

She froze and pull herself away from me.

"What do you mean you're not Leyla?" She asked in confusion.

"I will explain everything. I want us to be alone" I turn my head to the girl.

"Amirah go inside" Leyla's mom said to her.

She sat down on the couch and sat next to her.
"Where is drinking water?" I asked.

"It's in the kitchen" she showed me the direction. I get up and get her water so she can calm her self.

"Please explain to me what's going on?" She said as she put the cup aside.

"My name is Naila" I said with a smile.

"Naila? Leyla are you kidding me?" She added.

"I'm not your Leyla... You buried your daughter many years ago. Leyla is gone forever"

I Felt bad for the tune of my voice so I apologize.

"Then explain what is going on to me!"

"I'm Leyla's twin. We were separated a week after we were born. My mom told me Leyla was adopted"

She was so quiet for a while and I can see so much pain in her eyes. I wish I can hug her but I don't want her to replace Leyla with me, I can never be her.

"They told you she was adopted? They throw her in the trash. I became everything to her and she will forever be my daughter"

They dump her? My parents never said anything like that to me. If they did dump her then why didn't they dump both of us.

"I'm so sorry" I said because there is nothing I could say to comfort her. Imagine loosing your daughter and someone randomly show up to you looking exactly like her but it's not her. I felt guilty for giving her false hope.

She kept crying Infront of me and I tried my best to hide my tears. I told her a lot about myself but I never mentioned that me and Leyla knew each other and met a lot of times.

***

I ordered some food to eat because I don't feel like cooking. I will probably spend the rest of the night crying because so many emotions has been triggered.

**

I was walking and someone almost hit me with their car. Very luxurious car, only rich people drive recklessly.

"Can't you see!?" I shouted.

The person in the car put the window glass gentle.

"I should ask you the same" she said as she remove her sunglasses.

Her eyes fall into mine and her expression changed like she knew me before.

"Leyla!?" She exclaimed.

"Are you talking to me?" I turned around and she was indeed talking to me.

"I don't know who Leyla is and please learn how to drive or don't do it at all" I added and walk away.

She kept following me to the neighborhood I was staying but I didn't stop.

She quickly park Infront of me and I fold my arms looking at her. She rushed out of the car and hold my hands.

I gave her a dirty look because why would she just hold my hands without knowing me?

"Pardon" she said taking her hands away.

"I'm listening" I Said.

"Leyla I'm Melissa, your old friend. Leyla we buried you! We all grieve for you"

"Are you done?" I ask.

"Of course I'm not. You have to explain everything to us" she stated.

"I don't know who the hell you're or what you're talking about. Get out of my sight".

I said and entered the house quickly.

**

I rushed into my room and felt my world crashing.

I picked up my family's picture and hug it so tight. The emotions I have been holding started rushing. I started crying so hard.

Whoever planned this will pay for it. For everything they did and for ruining me.

How did my parents died few weeks after Leyla's dead? Everything was planned, everything.

"I will destroy each one of you! Hayal, Ahmad, Melissa, and whoever has hand in this. You will pay for it"
