𝑨𝒎𝒊𝒓𝒂'𝒔 𝑷𝑶𝑽-
It was dinner time and everyone was sitting in the dining table when Uncle spoke breaking the silence, "Amira, I get what you did was for your friend but- why must you beat him so badly.
He is hospitalized. You could've complained the school community or even the police. You know his father is a very influential person. What if he does something?"
"Firstly uncle, I'm sorry for bringing you in this mess. I'm sorry you had to listen things from the Principal
but secondly, would you ha𝒗e not done anything if it was Haya in Sara's place?
Also, not like I killed him. I just broke his right hand. It was definitely nothing compared to what he actually deserved"
"YaAllah, look at her. She is talking as if she had just stole his tissue paper. Now what if his father takes action against us?" Came out of auntie's sis who have nothing else to do other than finding my mistakes and make up rumors even I didn't knew about myself.
I replied her with an eye roll. If his father takes 1 action against us I can take 10, Sara told me he sometimes do illegal work. It'll just take me some hours to reveal him with a cup of cold coffee and some episodes of Kdrama.
After being done with my dinner I strode towards my room lost in my own thoughts when I caught a snippet of Haya apu talking to someone.
"But my dad won't agree. I can't do this- I only want-" she stopped as soon as she spotted me in the hallway walking towards my room.
"Uh- Amira, wha-what are you doing here?" She asked me nervously. "Teaching my fish how to swim" I replied nonchalantly.
I was doing some businesses in my laptop when I got a call. It was Sara,
"𝘏𝘦𝘭𝘭𝘰"
"𝘈𝘳𝘢, 𝘴𝘦𝘳𝘪𝘰𝘶𝘴𝘭𝘺! 𝘠𝘰𝘶 𝘣𝘳𝘰𝘬𝘦 𝘩𝘪𝘴 𝘩𝘢𝘯𝘥!?" Came out of her in a worried tone
"𝘞𝘢𝘴𝘯'𝘵 𝘐 𝘴𝘶𝘱𝘱𝘰𝘴𝘦𝘥 𝘵𝘰?" Does she expect me to give him a manicure after what he did!?
"𝘈𝘮𝘪𝘳𝘢-, 𝘈𝘮𝘪𝘳𝘢 𝘩𝘦'𝘴 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘴𝘰𝘯 𝘰𝘧 𝘢 𝘩𝘶𝘨𝘦 𝘣𝘶𝘴𝘪𝘯𝘦𝘴𝘴𝘮𝘢𝘯 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘮𝘰𝘳𝘦𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘳, 𝘮𝘺 𝘶𝘯𝘤𝘭𝘦. 𝘛𝘩𝘦𝘺'𝘳𝘦 𝘴𝘰 𝘱𝘰𝘸𝘦𝘳𝘧𝘶𝘭. 𝘸𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘪𝘧 𝘩𝘦 𝘥𝘰𝘦𝘴 𝘴𝘰𝘮𝘦𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘵𝘰 𝘺𝘰𝘶!?" She was worried for me. You should be worried for him. I ain't letting him go that easily.
"𝘋𝘰𝘯'𝘵 𝘨𝘪𝘷𝘦 𝘮𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵, 𝘪𝘵 𝘧𝘦𝘦𝘭𝘴 𝘸𝘦𝘪𝘳𝘥 𝘸𝘩𝘦𝘯 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘣𝘰𝘵𝘩 𝘤𝘢𝘭𝘭 𝘮𝘦 𝘣𝘺 𝘮𝘺 𝘯𝘢𝘮𝘦. 𝘈𝘭𝘴𝘰, 𝘐'𝘭𝘭 𝘴𝘦𝘦 𝘸𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘩𝘦 𝘤𝘢𝘯 𝘥𝘰. 𝘏𝘦 𝘤𝘢𝘯'𝘵 𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘯 𝘵𝘰𝘶𝘤𝘩 𝘢 𝘱𝘪𝘯 𝘰𝘧 𝘮𝘺 𝘩𝘪𝘫𝘢𝘣" I know she can see me flipping my hair behind the call.
"𝘐'𝘮 𝘵𝘳𝘶𝘭𝘺 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘭𝘶𝘤𝘬𝘪𝘦𝘴𝘵 𝘱𝘦𝘳𝘴𝘰𝘯 𝘵𝘰 𝘩𝘢𝘷𝘦 𝘧𝘦𝘮𝘢𝘭𝘦 𝘧𝘳𝘪𝘦𝘯𝘥𝘴 𝘭𝘪𝘬𝘦 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘣𝘰𝘵𝘩. 𝘐 𝘤𝘢𝘯'𝘵 𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘯 𝘦𝘹𝘱𝘭𝘢𝘪𝘯 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘩𝘰𝘸 𝘨𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘵𝘧𝘶𝘭 𝘐 𝘢𝘮 𝘵𝘰 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘨𝘶𝘺𝘻 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘣𝘦𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘳𝘦 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘮𝘦. 𝘐 𝘸𝘢𝘴 𝘢𝘧𝘳𝘢𝘪𝘥 𝘵𝘰 𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘯 𝘵𝘦𝘭𝘭 𝘮𝘺 𝘧𝘢𝘮𝘪𝘭𝘺 𝘮𝘦𝘮𝘣𝘦𝘳𝘴
𝘐- 𝘐 𝘧𝘦𝘭𝘵 𝘢𝘴 𝘪𝘧 𝘐 𝘴𝘩𝘰𝘶𝘭𝘥 𝘫𝘶𝘴𝘵 𝘥𝘪𝘦. 𝘐 𝘧𝘦𝘭𝘵 𝘴𝘰 𝘢𝘴𝘩𝘢𝘮𝘦𝘥 𝘈𝘳𝘶 𝘐-" I got irritated when she bought the 'death topic'
"𝘌𝘯𝘰𝘶𝘨𝘩 𝘚𝘢𝘳𝘢, 𝘸𝘦'𝘳𝘦 𝘵𝘢𝘭𝘬𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘰𝘯 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘴 𝘵𝘰𝘱𝘪𝘤 𝘵𝘰𝘮𝘰𝘳𝘳𝘰𝘸. 𝘠𝘰𝘶'𝘭𝘭 𝘨𝘦𝘵 𝘴𝘪𝘤𝘬 𝘢𝘵 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘴 𝘳𝘢𝘵𝘦 𝘪𝘧 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘬𝘦𝘦𝘱 𝘤𝘳𝘺𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘯𝘰𝘯 𝘴𝘵𝘰𝘱. 𝘕𝘰𝘸 𝘫𝘶𝘴𝘵 𝘴𝘵𝘰𝘱 𝘵𝘢𝘭𝘬𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘨𝘰𝘵 𝘣𝘢𝘤𝘬 𝘵𝘰 𝘴𝘭𝘦𝘦𝘱.

"𝘖𝘬𝘢𝘺. 𝘎𝘰𝘰𝘥 𝘯𝘪𝘨𝘩𝘵 𝘭𝘰𝘷𝘦. 𝘐 𝘭𝘰𝘷𝘦 𝘺𝘰𝘶"
"𝘓𝘰𝘷𝘦 𝘺𝘰𝘶"
After cutting the call I went back to my business. But something wasn't letting my mind take a peaceful turn. I kept the laptop in my bed and walked towards the balcony.
The night air was sweet with the scent of blooming jasmine planted in the garden. The stars were twinkling like little secrets scattered in the sky.
I closed my eyes. Frustration washed over me. The only guy I liked since so long is gonna be my 'not so real sister's' husband.
If that's what the fate have waiting for me then let it be. I think I have too many responsibilities lingering over my head to give a chilli pepper to these 'Love' shitz now.
