Layla has a day left before heading to back to school and She couldn't be more excited. She's tired of all the wedding talks. She can't wait to go back to the Uk where she wouldn't see anyone that'll talk to her about it.
On the other hand, She and Muhammad are getting pretty close, he said they could at least try and be friends, but of course with the help of his dramatic sister Ni'imah.
She was sitting on her bed watching 'Game of thrones', one of her favorite series when She heard a knock on her door.
"Come in" She said to the person at the door.
She waited for a while to see who it was until the door went wide ajar and to her surprise it was Ni'imah. Yes, Ni'imah.
"Hey, sister in law." she said with her gorgeous smile.
"Hi Ni'imah, How are you doing?."
"Fine Alhamdulillah, how are you?" She replied, sitting at the edge of Layla's bed.
"Fine too" Layla replied closing her laptop.
Layla doesn't want Niimah to say anything about her brother to her.
"Ya kike?" Layla asked. "How's your mom and everyone?" She added.
"They're are all fine alhamdulillah"
"Kin share ni kwana biyu fah." Ni'imah said with a pout.
"Ni na isa? And besides ke kika share ni." Layla said with a raised brow.
"if you say so." She chuckled. "Well, i came to say goodbye, Ibty told me that you're going back to school tomorrow Inshallah." She said.
"Yeah, summer break has ended pretty fast though."
"It has. I'm also going back soon inshallah, in a week or two." Said Ni'imah.
"You're in De Montfort Uni right?" Layla asked.
Ni'imah nodded. "Yeah. What about you?"
"Manchester Metropolitan Uni." Layla replied.
Ni'imah smiled. "I can't wait to go back already. You, Ibty and I are gonna have a lot of fun."
Layla chuckled. "We sure are."
They talked for a while until she said that her they're here to pick her.
Layla is dressed in a sweatpants and pink t shirt so She just grabbed a veil and left the room to escort Ni'imah out.
They first went to mammy's room for Ni'imah to say goodbye before heading outside. Layla told mammy that She was going to escort Ni'imah and she agreed.
They reached outside then to the parking lot where She saw a black Mercedes Benz.
"Ya Muhammad, I brought your love for you" Ni'imah said as they reached the car.
Layla can't believe Ni'imah. She tricked her, she told her it was her driver.
She didn't kow it was him. ya allah...
"Layla." He called her name.
"Yeah?"
She turned to see the little imp inside the car already leaving the two of them outside.
"How are you doing?" He asked
"Fine Alhamdulillah, you?"
"Good Alhamdulillah." He smiled.
Silence silence silence
"Why didn't you tell me you were leaving tomorrow?" He finally asked
"Oh, I thought you knew." She replied, biting her lip.
"But even if i knew it you should have told me." He said.
She mentally rolled her eyes, she just wants to walk away but she couldn't because his sister is inside the car, watching.
"It completely slipped my mind, I've been so busy these past few days." She said.
"It's okay. What flight are you taking? BA?" He asks.
She nodded. "Yeah, BA."
"Okay then. You should probably head back inside. We'll talk later Inshallah."
"Good night" She said to him.
"Okay bye." He said with a sigh and entered the car.
She waved at Ni'imah before they left the compound.
She entered the house and then straight to the living room downstairs where Norah and Nabeel are sitting watching a football match.
Freaks. She thought.
She just turned and head to Mammy's room, She found her on her praying mat recieting the holy Quran. Layla waited for her to finish while she lay down on her bed thinking.
"Neyin var? (What's wrong?)" Mammy asked as soon as she finished saying her adhkar.
"Anne I was just wondering why I'm still going to marry at 20." She said.
"You know we've talked about this several times and it's your father's decision not mine." She replied her daughter.
"And you know Muhammad is a good guy, he'll take good care of you." She added which made Layla roll her eyes.
They chatted for a while before She excused herself to go to bed since She's leaving tomorrow early in the morning.
She entered her room and picked up her phone from the dressing mirror and sat down on the bed. She saw a message on whatsapp from a unknown number. She decided to open it and it says
Unknown- Hey
Layla- Hi
Unknown- How are you?
Layla- I'm fine alhamdulillah... You?
Unknown- I'm good Alhamdulillah.
Layla- Please who is this?😅
Unknown- Bad fiancée, you don't even have your fiancé's number?
Layla- Muhammadu 😁 who says I don't? I do have your number in my other phone.
Unknown- Don't call me Muhammadu😑 and are you sure?
She quickly saved the number as Mr Moh.
Layla- Harah! But I like the name 😂
Mr Moh- Okay then, Hafsatu😉
Layla- Okay, please don't call me that name😣 I really hate it.
Mr Moh- Then you should not call me muhammadu too.
Layal- Okay, Muhammad😅
Mr Moh- 👍
Layla- Listen, I'm sorry I didn't tell you That I was leaving tomorrow.
Mr Moh- It's okay, its no big deal! Besides I'm going there next week.
They chatted for a while before saying goodnight and then to her deep slumber! Tomorrow is going to be a long and tiring day.
