Malika & Halima

22-Heartless

Malika

Her eyes are bloodshot and her heart is burning. She feels like it on fire eating her up.

Why? Why will he be so heartless?

She couldn't believe that Adam, the person she had trusted and cared for, had been using her all along. She replayed his warning in her mind, the one he had given her the day she had stood up for the new students he was bullying.

Was she that stupid to didn't see that coming?

She remembered the time they had spent together, all the moments that she had cherished, now tainted by the knowledge that it had all been an act to get back at her.

Her heart felt heavy with anger and betrayal. How could someone be so cruel? How could someone pretend to care for another person and then turn around and hurt them so deeply?

"Why did you choose to ruin my life." She whispered into the empty room her eyes tearing up.

"You let me fall in love with you and you shattered me and break me and throw me like a trash!" Malika says like his in front of her.

She wished she could turn back the time but it too late.

Her eyes glance at the phone on the floor. She reach her hand and took it before searching his number. She took a deep breath and dialed the number. Her heart was pounding in her chest as she waited for him to answer.

"Hello?" Adam's voice came through the phone, sounding nonchalant.

Malika felt her anger rising. "How could you do this to me!!?" she shouted into the phone. "How could you use me like that!!?"

Adam chuckled. "What are you talking about?"

"Don't play dumb with me, Adam!" She spat. "You know exactly what I'm talking about. You used me to get back at me for standing up to you. You pretended to care about me, and then you broke my heart."

Adam's tone turned serious. "Look, Malika, I never meant to hurt you. I just wanted to teach you a lesson. And by the way that kiss was hot."

"You fucking bastard!!" Malika shouted like a mad girl. "What kind of lesson involves breaking someone's heart?!"

"Woah brave girl, so you're in love with me? Wow this is getting more interesting."

"I hate you!! I hate you Adam! And I promise you this love will die today! And I promise your life will be a living hell! You will die a painful death! And you will beg me to forgive you!!"

Adam laughed. "You must be hurt brave girl....next time learn to not stuck your nose in someone's business. Bye have a nice day." He cut the call.

Fucking bastard!

Malika felt a surge of hurt and betrayal wash over her. She couldn't believe that Adam was being so nonchalant about everything that had happened.

She's so stupid for trusting and loving someone like him. She has closed her ears from all the rumors about him and thought that there's a good part inside him.

"How fool was I?" She asked her self before breaking down again in tears.

Halima

Halima took a deep breath and walked towards Muhammad's office. She needed to talk to him about what Adam had done to Malika. She knew that Muhammad was the only one who could help her since his part of the school board.

As she reached his office, she knocked on the door. There was no answer. She knocked again, and still, there was no answer. She tried the door handle, and it was unlocked. She pushed the door open and walked inside.

What she saw made her heart drop. Muhammad was sitting behind his desk with a beautiful woman by his side, and a young boy sitting on his lap. They were all laughing and having a good time.

Halima felt a pang of jealousy and hurt. Seeing him with another woman made her realize that she had lost her chance with him.

"Um, sorry to interrupt," Halima said, trying to keep her voice steady.

Muhammad looked up and saw Halima standing in the doorway. His expression turn to that of horror. The woman also turn to look at Halima.

Halima's heart sank as the woman spoke. "Who is this honey?" she asked, looking Halima up and down with disdain.

Honey!?

Muhammad stood up, looking flustered and tensed. "This is Halima, a student of mine," he said, trying to introduce them.

The woman scoffed. "Oh, I see. Another one of your little admirers."

Halima felt a surge of anger. "I'm not just some little admirer," she said, her voice shaking with emotion." I'm his girlfriend!"

"What!!" The woman look back at Muhammad before laughing. "You're cheating on me!!"

Cheating?

It finally make sense to Halima when she looked at the young boy who's pictures are all over his office. She now remember the first time she saw the kid in the park and help him when he fell off the swing and his mother that was on phone.

Muhammad is married!!!

"You lied to me!! You lied to me Muhammad!" She shouted pointing at him.

Why are all men scums?

"Shut up you slut! How there you sleep with my husband!" The woman insult Halima.

"Aisha!!!!! Don't you dare call her that!!" Muhammad interrupted looking at his wife dead in the eyes before looking back at Halima.

"Please let me exp-"

"-no there's nothing left to be said, I-i-i will never forgive you for this!" Halima burst out in tears before going out of the room her hand on her mouth as she tries to control her pains.

She heard him calls her name but she didn't wait. She run to her car and left the school.

Life is so unfair...
