MEMOIRS OF COLD TEMPERED LOVE

EMOTIONAL 5

NAD was my best friend since kindergerten, we became best of friends, if there is anyone who knows nads better than me, I can say only her mother not even her Dad because he doesn't stay at home, he works out of town, so her uncle, who we call uncle Iby is her godfather, her full name was Nadia Ahmed we shortened it to Nads, she was so kind, honest, she's so cool down to earth, a very understanding being, she has never been in love, she always avoid men which made me piss her off if I asked her if she's posess with jinns, this was the very first time she confide to me that she loves someone, and I still see it in my eyes, they make a great couple, She wasn't in school that day, am not surprise tho, NAD hates school and only goes if she has something important that's the only part that we have problems she hates reading not only that, she hates school in a nutshell, while I love school. We had a call that she will be coming over to get her test papers, so I drove home,

Being alone is something am fond of, or I forgot the maids are there too, there was a knock downstairs and I could here steps towards me

She appeared in the room with the winter breeze blowing around her long skirt. Most did not pay attention to her beauty, but rather her color. Nad never looked so beautiful on a woman. With black veil of turban on her head and the head held high, she waltzed on with an effortless saunter. The clicking of her heels added rhythm to the soft classical music that played onward without pause. Her eyes scanned the room with determination in search of someone when her eyes met mine she smiled. So beautiful it was like the stars themselves,

Nad was beautiful in the classical way, flowing golden curls, piercing eyes of green. She was shorter than average and certainly larger than a catwalk model, but in her ordinariness she was stunning. Something radiated from within that rendered her irresistible to both genders. Men desired her and women courted her friendship.

"Best" she said

"so finally you came, you keep telling me you want to graduate with a first class yet you hate school, I can't keep signing your attendance, better get your face to school tomorrow" i was complaining annoyingly

" I know!, I know you've been saying that since decades yet no changes, and hey thanks for saying I look beautiful"

" I never said that"

"your eyes did"

"monkey "

"cat"

I rolled my eyes and concluded

"whatever"

she removed her phone and came closer, showing me some pictures, My hearts beat went faster

"Sa'ad" I muttered

"how did you know it was him?" her gaze were sharp as she asked

"you sent me his picture remember?" an excuse came up very fast, Am a smart girl

"ohh yes I remember, I didn't come to school today because of him, uncle Iby was going to meet him, they are having some business, I tried to ask uncle Iby why he calls him aminu, he said when they first met, he mistakenly called the name and sa'ad said he loved it, Aliya when we went he was in suits, Remember how I keep blabbering my love for men in suits?, he's one, when he smiles his dimple, his face,everything drives my crazy, I keep smiling and when he noticed it he smiles back, when uncle Iby went out to have a call, he asked about me , my school and course, when I told him he said it was the same with a flower he met last week, I keep wondering what he means by flower, for sure flowers don't go to school right?"

I quickly smiled trying to hide the anxious face and replied "you need the truth? or lie?"

"the truth, and I know you'll say flower refers to a beautiful girl right?" though she wasn't happy when asking I smiled and said

"of course but it might be just a friend , so why worry?, all these cute guys have cute friends you know that" trying to comfort her, ignoring the pain in my parched throat

"let me go to the restroom" she excused herself

With measly strength, I crawled away from Nads body and curled myself into a ball, without my knowledge, without my permission salty tears trickled down my cheeks and pooled at the base of my jaw, I broke down, i shut my moist eyes, why is these happening to me? why nads of all people? I value our friendship so much that I can sacrifice myself to her, but why can't I just give her the Man I so much love, the man I dream about?

I quickly wiped the tears, with utmost surprise why the tears? hey tears why would you pour out now! what if nads see you? go back please reserve yourself for later!, I keep muttering to myself, don't want to led NAD know that something is going on.

Hey guys thank you sooo much for the patience, don't forget to vote and comment, thank y'all
