I checked my phone and it reads 4:45am. God! How did I slept this much, it was barely 9 when I hit the pillow, I thought to myself. After saying my morning prayers, I went for a jog and man was I exhausted, my legs were numb so I couldn't go a long distance even if I wanted to, the sun began to peek kissing my face.
"How lovely! I should take a picture of it" I thought, and I kept taking more then I switched to the front camera for a selfie and boom I almost threw my phone. Oh my God! Why do I look like this? I thought I was looking at an alien few seconds ago, I can't believe I'm looking at me. My camera is a liar, I'd use my snaps and it was the same, Oh God! I was going to use the filter but I'd save it for another day. I just can't explain why I'm feeling ugly or is it just me. I then sighted Kabeer from afar, Oh No! He can't see me like this, I've got to do something. Using my veil as a mini niqab revealing only my eyes. I began to walk fast
"Hey" a familiar voice called. Oh No! Have he seen me? Just ignore him I thought to myself as I increased my pace
"You know you're not invisible right? I can see you" he said walking fast towards me
"No you can't, I'm totally invisible" I said still walking as fast as my legs could carry me, poor legs.
"This is not a hide and seek game, if it was I'd win 100 times in a row" he said now beside me. I mean what was I thinking he looks like an athlete
"That's only going to happen if I ever, I repeat ever going to play with you" I said now breathing heavily
"Ouch! You know why I like you?" He said looking at my eyeballs
"Why?" I asked lamely
"Because you know just how to hurt my soul so and I can't get enough" he said making me roll my eyes and after a few seconds we broke the silence with an uproar laugh
"Good morning señorita" he said with his hand behind his back and his other hand twirling his imaginary moustache
"Well good morning to you too amigo" I said bowing causing us again to laugh
"How did you know it was me?" I asked arching one brow
"Just saw a lumpy being struggling to jog and then I thought of you because I love you so" he said very sweetly
"Haha very funny" I said with a straight face trying my hardest not to laugh
"So wassup? What's with the ninja outfit?"
"Nothing, just going for martial arts" I answered sarcastically
"Oh yeah I see or you mean you aren't applying any makeup" he said smirking
"Oh come on, makeup isn't my thing, I always rock the no makeup look" I replied with my heart now pounding in my chest
"Well, there's only one way to find out darling"
"You won't dare" I yelled
"Oh really? Watch me then" and with that he took off my veil
"HARAM!!!" I screamed
"What haram? I didn't touched you" he said fully alarmed
"You did"
"I didn't"
"You did"
"I didn't"
"Liar"
"Swear on it then"
"Swearing is a sin"
"Swear by Allah"
"I can't" I said pouting
"Of course you can't" he said laughing
"Give me back"
"What? This? You want your veil back? Come and get it" he said running
"I'm not chasing you, you can keep it, I have a thousand and one more" I said
"You sure you don't want this?" He asked with my veil held high in his hand, moving it in a pendulum motion and my eyes followed moving from side to side, I then snapped out of it
"Are you trying to hypnotise me?" I asked
"Astagfirullah! I don't do black magic, that's shirk. I know you're only hypnotised with my handsomeness, forgive me darling it isn't my fault, you see Allah bless only a few such gift" he said smiling and the hollow in his cheeks now very visible
"Oh God! Someone's feeling like a Greek god" I said rolling my eyes
"Don't roll your eyes too much they'd fall off" he said seriously making me stick my tongue out at him
"I see why you're mad, because only a few were chosen to be created beautifully and I've seen what lies behind the baked face"
"I don't bake my face" I growled
"Yes you do, with all what you girls apply, it's more than baking itself"
Goddd! I must look like a gorilla right now, I can't even find any witty thing to say, I've got to admit it
"So what? I'm ugly, big deal" I said angrily
"Umm are you?" He asked with his finger on his chin
"Tell the world about it, I've got a pimple or two, I've got scars too, I have a big head I know not forgetting my forehead too"
"Oh really?"
"Oh yeah!" I answered
"I was not going to say that but you know what never mind"
"Spill it"
"You sure you wanna hear it?" He asked now tying my veil on his forehead
"Just say it" I said now frustrated
"I think you're beautiful" he said seriously
"So much for lying, I know I'm ugly. You don't have to sugarcoat it"
"Okay fineeee. You have a big head" he said laughing
"Thanks for the honesty"
"And a big forehead but only because you said so" I could feel my eyes brimming with tears
"You can't be perfect, I mean you can be perfect if you want to but if you do you'd be unreal, everybody's got a flaw and that is what makes us perfect, so don't try to change because maybe your flaw makes you beautiful. And yeah I think you've got chubby cheeks too" he stroke an unusual pose more like in a yoga position with one leg in the air and his palms on each other
"With the power of peace, I crown you the queen of beauty only if you embrace your flaws" he said with his eyes shut, by now tears already rolled down my cheeks and I was laughing altogether, I know I look crazy right now but the guy in front of me is more crazy
"Thank you" I managed to utter
"Shshh you must not thank the great sensei" he said frowning making me laugh
"Thanks for everything, I want my veil back" I said snappily
"Come and get it big head" he said laughing and getting away
"Don't stop running because if you do I WILL KILL YOU" I said yelling after him
I know I know I'm late again... Apologies! Please vote and comment I Love Y'all! Hauwer
