I Fell In Love With A Stranger

10. I'm Horrified And Scared

I woke up with no one beside me? Where did Zishan go?

I stretched my arms, yawning like a Kuala bear who just woke up after sleeping for months.

'it's nearly dhuhr you idiot' Khanza retorted

'Dhuhr?' I pulled my phone clumsily.

'why what's wrong' she cocked an eyebrow.

'i think I missed Fajr' I banged my palms on my head.

'Kyda you prayed' she flinched

'really?' I must have prayed, I always forget what happened the night before after waking up. People could call me 'dwstml' aka "diagnosed with short term memory loss".

'yeah you idiot' she broomed my room off. Is she really doing this to me or am I still dreaming.

'peekaboo' he scared the crap out of me.

'ya Allah' I grasped my heart

'sorry' he laughed amusingly.

'not forgiven' I mumbled, getting out of the bed realising that Khanza was rolling her eyes for our stupid manners.

'sorry luv' he started at me with puppy eyes. He's taking advantage.

'just because I told you my story doesn't mean I like you' I winked as if I won the sentence.

'your story?' he flinched. Wait so he doesn't know?

Oh now I remember, who the hell says someone something that is so important when the other persons high.

'oh my god' I gasped

'why what happened' he sounded sentimental.

'oh nothing just a weird dream' I laughed frantically imitating my old ways of untangling a mess that I've made without even trying to explain.

How dare he forget what I just said! I hate him.

'okaay?' he narrowed his eyes at me waiting for a response.

'i'm gonna go brush my teeth then' I said pointing at the bathroom door, and I walked straight in.

'prayed dhuhr?'

'yes Alhamdullilah mom, you?' I laughed at my statement. I woke up late! So obviously they must have prayed even before I did.

'yeah you sleepy head, I'm preparing lunch okay? Bring your beloved in like half an hour' she winked at me which only made my cheeks redder.

Why on earth am I blushing?

Oh it's just part of the acting I flipped my hair.

'why where is he' I jogged along the staircase.

'outside I guess' she yelled from the kitchen.

Oh okay, out side eh. I was about to turn back to my room until I heard the bell.

'i'll get it mom' I shouted. Seriously Zishan?

I hate him for doing this to me, we had this small clothes hanger near our door just in case you need your abayah's before you open the door.

I jumped on my abayah wearing it in a hurry, which messed up the entire thing giving it creases.

'are you kidding me' I opened the door.

As soon as I did my eyes met an old looking man who looked cheesy. Especially with that smile.

God hasn't he seen a girl before? Looks like he hasn't.

I lowered my gaze 'do I know you' I muttered
