INTENSE BLING

Part 7

"Yh you did!" Sanaah exclaimed while using her tiny hands to cover her mouth in an attempt to stiffen her giggles.

With his mother, father and stepmother sitting there, Mahira is vividly aware that they've heard what she said.

Feeling a strange feeling of disappointment, she tried to sashayed the rigid atmosphere by stealing a glance at him to see if there's any change to his expression but to her greatest surprise, he still had that inattentive and negligent demeanour. And for a while, she found herself drooling over his features once again, not until Jamila jolted her out of her daydream.

"I can see you have no manners or decency in you! How could you possibly say that to Gee? Are you mad?" She spoke out, more like shouted with invisible flames oozing out from her ear and smoke from her nose, which was only visible to Mahira.

Mahira squirmed from side to side on her sit out of fear, if anything that Mahira hates is to be shouted at. She is not a pro in fighting, talking back or arguing because anytime she tries to, she usually ends up crying even if she's not the one at fault.

"Jamila! That is not the nicest way to talk to a guest, you have no right to talk to her like that!" Dr. Murtala Aliyu gently spoke from his seat, yet horrifically to which Jamila coldly glared at Mahira while dropping her shoulders in fiasco.

The Genius realised a warm, yet forced smile which did a great job in putting everyone at ease, before he muttered a "let's eat."

Inna Ammi instructed the servants to lay out an array of cutleries by pressing the alarm button beneath the dining table, signaling them to come inside and perform their task.

The table was adorned with an assortment of beautifully crafted knives, fork and spoon, each reflecting the elegance of the instance.

Just as the meal began, Inna Ammi slowly used her feet to touch her husband's feet making him to abruptly gaze at her, the two couples stared at each other, sending messages through their eyes, unknown to them, there's a particular someone who's staring at them with palpitating jealousy.

Dr. Murtala knows better than to disobey his wife's instructions so he leisurely rise from his sit.

"I think I'll be having my meal at the villa! Ammi please do the favour. Enjoy your meal." He stated before majestically walking out of the dining hall, while Inna Ammi took her time to arrange certain dishes on the food trolley before pushing it out, not after muttering a "Have a nice dinner."

The room fell silent once again only the short-sharp clicking sounds of cutleries were heard.

Hajiya Rukayya, who was filled to the brim by jealousy dropped her table knife with a loud bang on her silver dish.

"Has anyone not tell you to always cover your hair while eating?" Hajiya Rukayya asked with an arched brow, she then continued by saying. "Oh! How comes I've forgotten you're been raised in a motherless household, no wonder. I heard your mom threw the baby she gave birth to on your father's face, is it true?"

Another sound of cutlery bang was heard but this time around it was Achraf who dropped his pasta filled fork to the floor and clutched his hand on the dining table, the veins on his hands and forehead popped out, while his eyes squint into slits making him look extremely dangerous and scary.

On the other hand is Mahira, who was frantically trying to adjust the givenchy scarf she tied around her neck on her head, when she noticed Achraf's situation, she knew hell is about to loosen if she doesn't make any move. It's very rare to see Achraf's expression turn into that, and if it does then he can't control himself.
