She Changed Him ✓

8

Kayla and Fawzan become closed. They spent time together every free hour they had before the lecture.
Kulthum and Rahim's relationship ain't mutual. Rahim never express how he feels towards her. Kulthum is worried about it. It hurts her that she fall in love with the person who only see her as a friend. Kulthum cried in her sujood and every night.

Kulthum, I'm your friend. You've refused to tell me what is bothering you. You have been acting strange since we return to the campus.
You always avoid Rahim. Did Rahim say something to you? Did you tell him how you feel about him? Kayla muttered.

Kulthum break down and hug Kayla.
She cry on Kayla's shoulder.
Kulthum nod her head in Yes.
Kayla facepalm frustratedly.
Kulthum, why? How could you do that? You should have keep your calm and control your feelings.
Kayla, I told him how I feel about him.
Do you know what Rahim said to me?

He is not ready to be in a relationship now. We should just be friends.
I asked him if he liked me and he said he liked my manners.
Kayla, all the kindness, care isn't because he likes me but because he likes my manners.
His actions are what made me fall in love with him because I thought he also loved me. It hurt a lot that Rahim barely chatted with me on WhatsApp.

Rahim reply my messages when he feel like. He will be online, but he will never say Hi to me unless I did.
Rahim has changed. It's hurt a lot that I have lose the attention from him.
Rahim wasn't like this but now he treated me like a random girl. He doesn't make me feel important to him anymore.
Is it a crime to confess your feelings to a guy? Is it my fault that I'm in love with the wrong person? Why is he making it hard for me? Kulthum cried.

Kayla Humm. She was speechless. She has never seen Kulthum in this devastated state since they were friends.
Kayla feel helpless.
That's why she fear to fall in love.
Kulthum, please don't ever message Rahim again. Don't call him. Act normally with him when you see him in school.
Don't let him know you are hurt by him.

Act like everything is okay. Keep praying to the Lord. Do night prayer, do istikhara, fast if you can, and give out charity anytime we go to the market. Do isghfar, read the Quran anytime you are less busy and you will find solace, what you wish for Allah will grant them for you and you will be happy. Kayla muttered.

Thank you, Kayla. Kulthum muttered with a cracked voice.
Please stop crying, it break my heart seeing my friend in this state because of a man. Kayla muttered.
Kulthum nod her head and smile at Kayla.
Inn Sha Allah, I will try my best. Kulthum muttered.

Kulthum, I miss home. I miss my family. Kayla muttered with a pout.
Kayla, my Dad called me yesterday. Guess what he said? Kulthum muttered.
I'm not good at guessing. Kayla pout.
Okay, My father said he missed me. Abbah apologize to me. He sent me money to spend.
He said if it won't be enough I shouldn't hesitate to let him know. Kulthum muttered excitedly.

Congratulations, Maybe he has realized his mistakes. Kayla muttered.
Why are you sad? Ain't you happy about it? You wanted this, didn't you? Kayla asked.
Yes, but one thing is missing. My Mom.
I wish they could be together again but my Mom has moved on. She got married a week before I left Nigeria. Kulthum muttered sadly.

I'm sorry for that. Kulthum, I'm not staying with my mother too.
I don't know who she is, or what she looks like. I told you the woman I thought was my mother wasn't my Mom but my Daddy's ex-wife.
She cast a spell on my Daddy and made him marry her. Kayla muttered with a sigh.
