CHAPTER ELEVEN

Nour Najim

In every glance, my heart takes flight,
Your presence fills my thoughts day and night.
A crush that blooms with every passing hour,
Your essence holds me under its power.
I can't resist your captivating gaze,
Lost in a trance, mesmerized by your ways

I was lost in thought as I was on my way  home,I can't believe it,I have clearly told baba to give me time so I could think this through,after I asked Mr.Aziz for a leave I felt nervous and disappointed after he gave it to me,I obviously didn't want to go I tried to tell him with my eyes but he didn't seem to catch it ,I know I sound like I'm once again overreacting but I was really hoping he would tell me not to go and stick to my job

"why would they show up like this "I mumbled as I parked my car Infront of my house

Getting out of the car and looking straight ahead I was thinking about going back and just call Mama and tell her that they didn't give me an early leave and let things happen but that would be disrespectful for me ,my family and those who came ,so I mastered up all the courage I have and knocked on the door

"You came"it was Mama ,she sounded relived seeing me and I just sighed

"Of course I did ,Mama what's happening,I thought I told you I will think about it,what are they doing here?" I whispered so no one would hear me,the last thing I want is for people to think I don't want them here,not like I do no offence

"Shhh,just come in and I will tell you"she replied dragging me inside by my arm thank Allah the front door and the living room are seperated by a wall so no one could see us, I just followed her quietly to my room

"Can you tell me now?"I was running out of patience and I blame no one for it

"They just showed up here saying they wanted to visit your father and see you in the process we couldn't do anything about it Binty "she calmly told me but I felt like she was uncomfortable a little with all of this

"What am I supposed to do Mama,this is too much for me"I looked at her trying to tell her I didn't want this whole thing and she saw it but I know she wanted me to say what I felt but I simply couldn't, baba is in the middle

"It's up to you binty,what you say goes"she quitely said caressing my cheek
"Hicham is here too the son of Baba's friend?"I hoped he isn't I'm not ready for this nor I want it

"He's with them and his Mom wants to see you"just as she said that the door of my room was opened and I saw Ruba and Layla coming in

"Nour?"Layla looked worried for some reason but at the moment I was just thinking about what to do

"Layla"I called as I got up and went to hug her ,I have had enough of me and her having this whole fight thing,she is my older sister and I love her

"I'm sorry"I apologized knowing I was probably in the wrong even if I wasn't she will always be like my second Mom,she basically raised me

She was taking aback by my sudden hug but she returned it nonetheless caressing my hair now ,I took off my hijab the moment I came into my room and my waves were in a low bun ,and I still feel suffocated

"Nour what's wrong?"Layla was still caressing my wavy locks and I felt myself relax for a moment

"This is so sudden I don't know what do Layla"I whispered in her ear
