Humayra

I have been discharged from that hospital, I thank God.
Dad went home with the driver, and I wanted to wait for Ayman, he asked me why, but I just smiled.

" Who are you waiting for ? " Zaina asked, putting her phone in her purse. " My... Brother " I said, and she pretended like it was nothing, and said.

" Just an advice, he isn't reliable. "

" Yeah, thanks for the advice. " I said, and she sat beside me, in the calm, hospital garden.

" I thought you had Lectures. " I told her, and she nodded in affirmative.
" Then, why are you here ? " I asked, pushing her away.

" You know, in uni, unlike secondary school, you can skip classes, that are not that important.

I felt a pang to my chest, if not for the ' incident ' I'd be in the same year with her.

" Speaking of school, when is your WAEC result, coming out ? " She asked, and I smiled at her, before saying.

" Like a month or weeks from now. "

" How was your JAMB ? "

" Fine, I got 330. "

" Masha Allah ! I'm so proud of you, sis. "
" Thanks. " I said, wondering how she could still be nice with me. My brother, broke her !

Very soon, a black Audi drove in, and I knew who it was, my brother. He was dressed in a black kaftan, and left his bare curly, greasy  hair, to shine while be drove. Thinking that he could steal Zaina back.

I looked at Zaina, who was long staring at him, her eyes were filled with love, true love, no anger, no hate, no pain, just love. I looked at my brother, who had the same look in his eyes, unless I could see slight guilt in them.

I just want them to be together, but I couldn't be selfish, just because he is my brother.

" As Salamualaykum ! "

" Wa Alaykumussalam ! " We both replied in unison.

" Hi. " He said, trying to start a conversation. " Don't ! " we yelled in unison, and he laughed a nervous laugh.

" Yeesh!, I am in trouble with the two most important women in my life. " He said, stroking his nape, while being nervous.

" This woman belongs to someone else ! " Zaina spat, showing him a phone photo, where Mukhtar bought her a pink abaya.

" Yuk ! You hate pink ! " He said, and she rolled her Eyes.
" Are you really gonna date a guy, who doesn't even know you. " He added, and she half - yelled her reply.

" At least he won't break my heart, and besides he cared. " She said, about to leave, when she turned around, and added.

" He may not know me, but at least I know he'll never leave me. " she left, and turned back.

" What happened to your dramatic exit ? " he asked , and she said.

" My driver is on an errand. "
I tried not to laugh, but Ayman didn't. He began to laugh his face off.

" I guess you have to go with us, well,me, then." He said, catching his breadth.

" As much as I hate to admit it, he's right. Don't worry, I'll be in the car. "

" Ugh! Fine ! " she said, and got into the back seat. I was about to sit in the front seat, when she stopped me.

" Actually, you passed out due to excessive breathing, so the strong air from the front seat, isn't good for you. "
