Through her eyes

chapter 32

*Naila*

How does she knows about Tuesday night? I compose myself so I don't make it too obvious. I rushed to melissa to ask if she told her.

"Did you told hayal anything about what happened on Tuesday?" I asked.

"What the hell? Why would I tell her?" She replied.

"I don't know. Sometimes you act stupid" I replied.

"I act stupid?" She said pointing at herself.

"Forget it" I replied.
"Naila you can't be calling me all sort of names you want" she replied. I don't know why she is dragging it. I didn't lie anyways.

"Okay I'm sorry, it just came out of nowhere" I replied. Hayal pass by us with a smile.

"Did she said I told you something?" Melissa asked.

"I know what her problem is and I will deal with her" I replied.

I turn my full attention to melissa "and you melissa"

"What?" Replied.

"Look at how miserable you're. Its too obvious please put yourself back together."

I went to Leyla's mom and Amira whispered that she wants to go to the park with me.

"Let me ask for permission" I whispered.

I told Leyla's mom we will go the park and she agreed. We took taxi and went there.

"I want to swing" she said. We all sat on the swing and argue about how swings faster. I can't remember that last time I was this happy. Sometimes our soulmates are kids or older  people. I believe she is a soulmate to me. I will treat her like my own child and I will give her the world.

She get up and drag me to race with her and I kept following her while she hide. My inner child felt safe and happy. My parents never took to a park or outing. They don't have time. My mom is always busy at home and constantly sick and my dad? He was just there.

She fell on the ground and I never felt sacred.

"Amira" I shouted and rushed to her.
She get up like nothing happened but I was terrified.

"Are you okay?" I asked.
"Yes I'm" she replied.
"Thank God" I sigh.

We went to get Ice cream and took a lot of pictures. As someone who hate taking pictures I find myself wanting to record my memories with this little angel.

A week later melissa said she will come over to my house. I can see she is feeling better and doing much better. I still don't understand why regret and felt so much remor. The guy tried to rape her and she killed him in self defense, he deserve nothing but death.

We had a little chat and I got up use the bathroom. When I came back melissa was not there.

"Melissa?" I called and she didn't respond.

I head into my work room and I didn't except her to be there but she was. She saw everything. The frame of Ahmad's pictures, all the other pictures, the journals, everything.

She turn around holding a picture in her hands while tears roll out of her eyes.

"You love him" she said.
I move closer and collect the picture and put it aside.

"Don't you ever touch my stuffs again! " I said.

"You betrayed me Naila!" She screamed.

"I didn't betrayed you melissa. You betrayed yourself"

"I betrayed myself right? I will show you what betrayal is. I will tell everything to hayal, I will expose you" I said
I think she forget I was naila. I let her finished talking before I burst into laughter.

I went and bring my phone "you will tell hayal right?" I asked .

"Yes I will" replied.
"Now see this" I moved closer and show the footage of her stabbing the guy. She thought I will delete it without saving it on my phone? I was waiting for a day like this.

"Do it and I will show this" I replied.

"You betrayed our friendship naila"

"We were never friends in the first place" I replied.

"I hate you" she said and left
