😢The reveal 2😢

Waleed's pov
It's been a week since I left England, we've done our own part of this mission, I could not wait to be with my love, I told her I was back about 3 days ago, and I keep bringing up excuses whenever she asks to meet me.
The flight attendant announced that our plane is about to land. A smile crept unto my face, remembering my discussion with Abba, my smile vanished. How do I tell her this. Just as we landed, Zahra called me, I picked up and held the phone to my ears.

Hello bae.

Hello waleed, where are you rn.

I'm outside.

Where exactly, whether you like it or not, we have to meet today.

Geez, calm down. I was actually thinking of heading over to your place now.

Okay Li, I'm waiting.

Good girl, I'm coming for you. (In a flirty manner).

Gosh, it's lady not girl. Okay?

Alright, I'll be there in ten.

I and Abid began walking down the plane, it was actually a military plane, the section where it landed was different from that of the public planes, and therefore farther. So we had to walk a bit before reaching inside the airport. On our way, I begged Abid to take my luggage with him as well as his. He easily agreed and thanked him. I also explained to him that Zahra wants to meet me immediately and I already told her I'm back since 3 days ago. I head for Zahra's apartment as soon as we left the port.
On reaching there, I called her to tell her I'm here, I didn't want to invade the privacy of her inmates.
She came out with a frown. That's Zahra for you I thought cuz she's nice, yet temperamental. That's what makes her attractive for me.
"Why the long face"?
"So you're back" she said not replying my question.
"I don't get you, I was back 3 days ago" I lied.
"Oooh, so you're lying again not caring that maybe I found out the truth" I kept quiet and looked away.
"You were seen two days ago in Sweden, you were also seen there about a week ago. I'm really suspicious of you because you keep hiding things away from me.
The twins, you know them right?"
"Yeah" I said hesitantly.
"Ella and Bella are from Sweden, and they visit their grandparents once in awhile. They were out on a walk all together including their grandparents and parents when they saw you on the opposite side of the road. They called onto your name but you couldn't hear them. It was at the front of a restaurant. Emmm.. Greek restaurant, that's what they called it. They came home after two days, and their grandparents sent them a picture of you day before yesterday to confirm whether you're the friend they saw".
She said showing me the picture.
I scratched the back of my head because I was caught red handed.
"Look Zahra, I can explain this, of course I wen.."
"You went to Nigeria right, are you telling me that it wasn't you that was at Sweden, that it was your twin, how many more things are you going to hide from me, and claim that you love me" she yelled angrily.
"Just listen to me please " I begged.
"Who are you?Is your name even Waleed. How do I even trust you."
"Will you believe me if I tell you the truth, will you still trust me again?"
"It depends on what you say, if it's something I can't handle fah, I won't promise you that"
"Before I tell you anything, I just want you to know that loving you was never a lie."
"I would only listen so this won't be like in the movies".
She looked at me and waited for me to start explaining.
"My name is true, my origin is also true, the only thing you don't know is my career. I graduated from a military academy and got a chance to become an international soldier and an undercover agent at a young age. At 19 in particular. I'm not a student here, cept that the head of department knows I'm not a student and knows my aim here too, he allows me go to the classes and do most things other students do so my being an agent can be kept a secret. I actually came here about a year ago. The few students that questioned me on this I told I got transferred here. I was given a house, a car or rather cars and guards to protect me. Just as I said, I went to Nigeria, just that I left the next day. I'm sorry I lied, I was just not ready to tell you about this. Please forgive me" I explained with a furrow in my brow.
She turned around and walked a bit.
" I forgive you" she said with a weak smile.
"Really, thank you hun".
"You're welcome, I'm also leaving the next after our graduation. They've been calling me at home, but I insisted on staying here until I'm done for good". She said.
"I'll go back to Nigeria even before then. I'll be the one waiting for you" I said just as her friends I think Hauwy and Ella came out of the house.
"Hey" I say waving at them.
"Hello" they chorused.
"Can we borrow her for a few minutes" Ella asked.
"Never mind, I was gonna be on my way" I then looked at Zahra as they dragged her inside. She still looked doubtful and a bit confused. I hope she trusts me again. How would I tell her what we discussed with my dad. Should I hire fake parents so they can meet hers and pretend to be my parents so we can get married and be done with. Or should I try and convince my unconvincible Abba. I guess that would even make him more determined. What should I do?
