Rahma woke up and turned to check what time it is...6:00a.m.
She laid still and stared at nothing for a while, wishing her mind will remain this way - blank throughout the day.
But it got filled just as soon as she noticed.
For how long was she going go stay here?
When's she going to have to tell her story to the couple?
She sighed tiredly and sat up,her feet on the floor, head in hands. She sat in that position,trying to keep her thoughts together for about ten minutes...
"All will be well" she murmured.
It was her mum's motto, she tells her every time. And things actually never got well till the end.
She jumped up to stop herself from going too far in her thoughts and stalked towards the bathroom.
She got out of the bathroom in about 15 minutes and wore one of the gowns from the mall days ago.
She sat again,feeling the texture of the cloth and drawing circles with her index fingers... She picked up a matching scarf after a while and started down the stairs.
"Good morning" she greeted the couple.
"Good morning" they both replied
"Breakfast will be ready in 10 and I'll drop you off at Hadiza's place afterwards, please feel at home and be good to her" Majeedah added and Rahma nodded.
************************
Hadiza's house had a royal look attached to it,most of the furniture were cream-colored. A clean,glossy cream and fuchsia-colored wall complemented them perfectly.
Majeedah left after exchanging pleasantries with her and they both sat there,watching TV and sipping coffee from cream-colored coffee cups.
"What's with Hadiza and cream?" Rahma wondered and she surprised herself by asking.
"Why do you like cream color so much? Your furniture,now the cup"
Apparently she wasn't the only one surprised, Hadiza looks surprised too and the look soon faded to give way to a small smile.
"It's one of my favorite colors, I've quite many tho,it's a cool color" she replied fondly,maybe she'd said that to a lot of people.
