The Girl Behind The Scenes

Me On The Outside

Shagrah's pov

The picture above shows me on the outside. I am calm, gentle, shy and introvert by nature. That is my reason for not having much friends. I was discharged from the hospital this morning and the first thing I did after refreshing and taking a cat nap with my cat Noor (get it a... a cat nap with a cat😂... I'm awesome) I went immediately to Aisha's house. I greeted her mom, dad and for the first time, I found her elder brother at home, I greeted him. "Are you looking for Aisha" Mama, Aisha's mom said. "Yes mama" I answered.

"Unfortunately she is not around, and she will not be for another hour" mama said. "Ok I can wait mama" i answered.

"You can go up to her room and wait or stay here and watch with Muahmmad" she suggested. "And since you two see each other everyday you are probably close, right?" She asked. "Yes mama we are close" I lied while trying to avoid any more questions.

Mama left leaving Muhammad and I alone. I felt quite uncomfortable, I felt like going to her room but it is not good to just enter someone's room without permission even though we are close, so I stayed.

"You lied to Mama... Why?" I heard a deep voice that was supposed to be Ya Muhammad's. "I don't like liars" he added.

So? Do I look like I care whether you like liars or not, whether you like me or not. What is my business?.

"I am talking to u am I not" he said semi yelling. "Sorry" I said just when he said " I didn't ask for your damn apology, why did you lie to my mother"

Hmm Kai me mother (You that have mother)

"Don't get me angry" he yelled.

What is his problem, I mean come on... i just met the guy and he is going all gorilla on me. Remaining he should pounce on me.😒😒😒

" I....I" i stammered. "You..you...What?!" He said in a scary tone. " I just didn't want her to ask more questions " I answered trembling. " She is my mother u know, and basically yours too" he said with a smile I never wanted him to take off. "And remember she also has all the right to know about your life... either to guide you or help you... Ok shaggy?" He said tilting his head while looking at me with an unimaginable smile. Stop Shagrah, Astaghfirullah. And also no-one has ever called me "Shaggy". Whatever.

"Ok" I answered him. He then smiled and asked me a question that shocked me." Can you cook for me, I'm hungry" he said rubbing his stomach and looking at me for response. "Me... cook for you" I said stammering with a shocked face. "Yes, your brother said you are the best cook" he answered. I blushed which made him smile. "He talks about me with my brother but why, maybe he just said it when they where talking about this topic" i thought trying to clear that thaught just when a sound from the tv woke me up from my daydream. I still found Ya Muhammad waiting for a response. "But I don't know where the things are" I said trying to stop whatsoever was happening. " Yes I know Sameerah will help you, go call her in the kitchen" he insisted "ok" I said as I went into the kitchen, called Sameerah to help me make fried rice and peppered chicken.

I then brought it to him with a plate an cutleries... not bothering to see his response, I stood up to leave just when he said " sit with me and eat" he said. " No Ya Muhammad I am full, Alhamdulillah" I said trying to leave. "I didn't suggest you to sit with me and eat, I am telling you to sit with me and eat" he said I n a serious tone.

Ugh, I hate him and he clearly hates me too. What did I ever do to him for God's sake. I am his sister's best friend for crying out loud😫😫. I just met him and he is making life a living hell.

I sat down miserably and took a plate and served myself a small amount of food as I was not at all hungry. You remember when I said it's not good to enter someone's room without permission, well I'm wrong. Going to that someone's room might just save your life. I ate as he watched me take the last bite.

FINALLY!!!

Aisha is back, which means her brother won't look at me like a tourist attraction in Paris and treat me like a slave that was born with superpowers of working.

"Where have you been" I whisper yelled at her. Don't you know your brother just made into his personal assistant while you where out" I whispered. "My brother?" she said looking confused, " he doesn't even talk to you talkless of sending you on errands" she said. "Hmm. I guess I just discovered a new side of your brother" I said. We both chuckled and just as we were about to go in he called " Shaggy!" Aaah, the new nickname😇. "Na'am( yes) " I answered. "Please stop lying, it hurts me to see you lie ok?" He said with a saddened face. "Ok Ya Muhammad, InshaAllah I will not lie again" I said. His face then lightened up with a smile. Aisha and I then turned to leave just as he said "Shaggy ". "Yes " I turned. " Sorry for yelling at u the other time" he said. "It's ok Ya Muhammad, I know I did the wrong thing and am also sorry" i said. Before I even turned. He said " Shaggy". Ugh what now. I tried to suppress my annoyance and managed to say " Yes Ya Muhammad". " I love your cooking" he said with a thumbs up. " I love yours too " I said. Immediately after,I realized what I said. You just can't leave without being stupid Shagrah can you. " Sorry I meant thank you." " I know it was a slip of tongue, it's ok, that's all for now ".

What does he mean for now. What will happen later. Oh My God.

"What happened " Aisha asked curiously. I narrated what happened and she ended with an " Even a nickname, that's how it starts she said giving me a look I don't understand. "Aisha stooooop!!!" I yelled "ok" she said.

We gisted and then it was getting late I had to leave. She was about escorting me when Ya Muhammad saw us and asked if I was going home. " Ok let me drop you, no need to suffer yourself with transport." "Ok" I said standing by the door when Aisha gave me a look which made me push her face away.

The drive was quiet and long. When we got home and I was about to step out of. I heard a voice " Shaggy" Ya Muhammad spoke "yes" I answered "Can you come tomorrow and cook for me, bring it to my office i'll ask Aishah to send you the address". Ok now he has really turned me into his personal assistant. " ok" I managed to say while I wanted to him to choke of that water he was taking. Mtswww.

My mind couldn't go off of what I had encountered today especially the part he told me to come tomorrow and cook. Ugh I just hate the guy. I went in greeted my brother. Said hi to the others, freshened up and told Shagranah about it. All I wanted was her advice. " He seriously asked you to come and cook?" She said curiously. "Yes nah" I answered. "Me kikayi da ya ke punishing dinki" ( What did u do that he is punishing you). "Wallahi la a'arif"( I swear I don't know).

"Hmm" she exclaimed. "I pray for all the best" she added. "Ameen" I said as I took a sip of water and laid down to rest though I was still angry at him for telling me to cook. Mtswww.

I didn't know when I drifted off to sleep.
