Eyes Don't Lie

chapter 6

Summer break was starting from next week so it would be really packed routine for her, the company contacted them separately to confirm their position. She was in her dorm waiting for Selena to come back as she was out with her friends. She offered her Isha prayer and recited  chapter from Quran, during this time she daily reads surah mulk( the sovereignty) and surah sajdah (the prostration). She developed the habit of reading specific chapters after each daily prayer some years ago. She then video called her family and spend a good hour talking to them she didn't tell them about that incident rather told them Mingyu and Yuna saved her before anything could happen. She avoided giving too much information about bad events but gave them some insight as she wasn't good at hiding, it just seemed wrong to keep secrets from her siblings. She was about to dose off when Selena arrived with her hand full of shopping bags. "Did I wake you up sleeping beauty?" She put the bags on her bed "I wasn't sleeping how was your day?" She sits back adjusting herself "the days that end with shopping are best days" she takes out a purse and shows it to her "how is it?" She asks and sits beside her "very pretty "
"Good, it's yours " wafiyah looks at her in disbelief "why" she spits "you're soon starting internship consider it a gift"
"you know I don't like it " wafiyah argues
"Wafiyah don't make me futher angry than I already am keep quiet and take it " her furrowed eyes softened at that "why are you angry?" She doesn't reply and got up taking her tank top off wafiyah immediately covers her eyes she was used to Selena unbotheredness and waits till she's changed into her pajamas. "Please tell me what happened?" She urged but Selena laid on her bed and turned her side of lights off. It made her more skeptical so she went to her side of room "Selena please tell me is everything alright?" But Still got silent treatment "Okay I'll leave you if you're not interested in telling me" she makes a move to leave but Selena held her and hugged her waist crying, wafiyah waits and let her release pent up emotions,  giving her time to collect herself and her thoughts together it must be huge to make a strong girl like her cry. She gently caressed her hair in soothing manner after 10 minutes or so she calmed down enough to make wafiyah sit and put her head on her lap while she continued caressing. "My parents are filing for divorce " wafiyah froze at her spot halting her action "keep doing that" wafiyah hesitantly continued "Did you talk to them and try to change their mind?"
"I talked to dad, he doesn't want divorce "
"You should also listen to mother's side of the story too" she reasons cautiously not to hurt her more "Mom wants dad to end and leave everything behind and move to Australia but he can't just cut himself off from China where he was born where he has family and assets"
"You should talk to her and if possible visit them too summer break is within a week I'm sure they will find a better solution " she keeps crading her fingers through her hair the action so soothing it almost made Selena drowsy. "I think I will pay them a visit and try my luck, I don't want them to divorce it will shatter me" her tears streamed down and it hurts to see her cry. She bend down and peck her forehead "don't cry please inshaAllah they won't separate I'll pray for them you too should pray okay. I can't see you like this, crying doesn't suits you " she wipes her tears causing Selena to smile. "I wanna cuddle you " she winced at her "No thank you I dislike cuddles " but Selena doesn't let her go and kept chanting 'please' over and over. She finally gave in, Selena made space for her and cuddled her both drifted to dreamland where there's no worry ,sadness or fear just peace of mind. She woke up an hour before Fajr prayer and tried to get out of bed without waking Selena it was quite a task but still she managed and performed ablution she made lots of supplications for Selena and her family and put her trust on the one who is All hearing and seeing because trust and tawakkul is the most crucial part and key to having all your prayers accepted.
Jungkook was tossing in his bed , the sun wasn't up yet but somehow he couldn't sleep more so he went to his office the room which he uses for work. He doesn't know why he came here or what should he do now that he has. He looked at the files that Mr park handed him yesterday when he was leaving. It was the profile of the interns first file was tagged as Kim mingyu he went through all details mentioned on his resume the next file was of Kang Yuna he remembered her from Restaurant and lastly the one he was looking for Wafiyah Ahmad, he examined her photo for long time his mind was unresponsive. He paused at every information as if trying to imprint it on his mind, he came to know that her parents were deceased but had 4 siblings. He didn't realize how much time he spent on her file that the bright and warm hue of golden had started to pierce through the window. He leave his room and take shower to get ready for the work. Wafiyah was scrolling through her phone when as usual mingyu popped out of thin air "I knew you'd come" she says putting her phone down. He smiles wide "so you were expecting me already missed me hmm?" He says leaning forward on the table "I wanted to tell you something " he nods motioning her to ask away "my brother asked for your number " he knitted his eyebrows "everything okay?" "Yeah like an emergency contact I actually told him about the incident not full story but still so he said its better to have someone contact details other than mine" "but if you don't want it that's fine I'll ask someone else, actually you're a man that's why he asked for you " she says before getting his response. Mingyu tuts "don't be silly girl you have my consent to share my number with your brother" she beams at him "thank you mingyu may Allah ease your matters " she sends the number to her brother "what have you brought today?" He asks casually "nothing I wasn't feeling like eating " she sighs "your eyes are sad and despondent did anything happen ?" She just shakes her head to deny his doubt "you know your brother entrusted you to me" "Did he?" She raises her eyebrow challengingly "yeah so don't keep things from me " she laughs "Okay brother " he closes his eyes monetarily and exhales sharply before putting his smile back on his face.
