Truth be told that is really my intention and i feel i was doing that girl a favour,Aunty Chandni accepted and told me to meet with the mother, i accepted the fact to meet her to just get to know the know the mother of my child, yes MY CHILD, MY ZAINA, because seriously i don't like the wayward mother who told stories to cover her up her lies,
I and Uzair headed to the room opposite his office, on opening the door, i scanned the room and there was the figure standing by the open window holding apart the curtains with both hands, the morning rays hit her face, her eyes were closed, she was wearing a sleeveless dark blue and white polka dot knee gown, her hair was loose and wavy, her skin glowed in the sun and then she opened her eyes and turned to us, i quickly came out of my trance and followed Uzair forward to the babies cot, "you always do that" he said as he carried Tanisha, "it's just a Nuaimat's thing, good morning" she said as she headed to her bed and sat down, damn she so beautiful, "this is my friend Zaid" said Uzair motioning to me, i looked at her expecting her to say hi first but, the way she looked at me with a raised eyebrow she was expecting the same, "how is the baby" i said looking away, but she just rolled her eyes and begun to file her nails, "has she eaten today" asked Uzair as i meant to collect the baby, "oh let me" she said quickly collecting the baby, oh my God i hope she isn't going to breast feed her, but to my relief she carried out a feeding bottle which was filled with milk and started feeding her, "yeah, drink up sweet angel" she cooed as baby Tanisha sucks on the bottle,
She looks so familiar, i just can't say where i have seen her, "so Nuaimat, i wanted to talk to you" said Uzair, "oh" she exclaimed her lips making a cute O shape, yeah it was cute, i hate to admit
"am all ears" she added and continued looking at her baby, "you know you won't be staying in this hospital like forever" said Uzair, she looked up at him and nodded ",guess is time for us to move on, don't worry, i will be gone by evening inshAllah" she said with a smile, thats one hell of a cute smile,
"Come on Nuaimat, it wouldn't be fair, to let you go off on your own with the baby, Aunty Chandni and i wanted you to come over to her place, but with lots of kids, it will be hard to suddenly start explaining to them, all about you, so we came up with another plan" he said, i rolled my eyes on why he is going all soft, like he is even pleading, God does she even has a choice, "what plan" she asked,
"good so my friend here Zaid wants you to be staying with him and his sister for the mean time", she looked up at me and ours eyes met, just as she removed the now empty bottle from Tanisha's mouth, "him" she asked as if am some kind of diseases, Uzair nodded, "i will pass" she said with a scowl, "like you have a choice" i said dryly, "excuse me Obaid, no one owns me" she said coldy, irritated and impatient i said "its Zaid, and oh yes you have no option than to follow me, unless you want to sleep in the streets alone","The streets will be friendlier than you are" she said with a hiss, " whatever, we leave today" was all i could utter under her penetrating gaze, "are you ordering me" she asked, "what" i and Uzair asked, "you said we leave today" she said imitating a deep voice, "that's not how i spoke" i countered, "yes, with a deep frown and hunching your back a bit" she said, "i don't have a hunch back" i said a bit irritated, "i didn't say so, but you hunched your back a bit Obaid," she said with a shrug and handed Tanisha to Uzair, "it's Zaid" i said, she just shrugged and turned to Uzair she said "can't you just let me go, cause am in no postion to live in the hell he calls a house", this girl has guts and nerves, and i hate it, "please Nummy" pleaded Uzair, why is he pleading, whats with the Nickname NUMMY, that nick name makes me nauseous, "he is mean" she said, "excuse me, am the one who opened home to you, you are the one who is playing this gutsfull rude girl here, now who is mean" i asked over irritated, she ignored me and went on talking, "i just can't" she said, and to my surprise tears welled up in her eyes,
"Please, for the baby, Tanisha needs a roof under her head, please do this for your daughter" pleaded Uzair, seriously he annoys me by pleading to this little girl of not more than 17, "fine" she said and pouted, another cute pout,
"Stand up and get ready" i said as he handed the baby to me, "you are rude, and i don't like rudeness" she said, i was mouth agape, this girl is blunt,
"Dr.Uzzy, how long am i staying with him again" she asked suddenly looking scared, i bet it's just an act, "it's for the mean time" said Uzair calmly, "plus you have no where to go, so get up" i added clearly showing my irritated, she looked away and brought out her phone, geez she even has and I.phone eight plus, the two of us headed out with Baby Tanisha in my hands to let the girl get ready, "you have being smirking ever since we came out of that room " i said to Zaid minutes after we entered his office, "did you realize you talked alot for the first time in decades" he said, "no and shut up" i said, but it's true, look am that much of a quiet person but i like being quiet amongst others, and watch and hear, so they all have this thought that am the quiet one, and i swear today that girl made talked alot, gosh we gonna have issues with her if it is all about that, plus i don't even know if Zohra will get along with her.
