Untamed

Chapter 5

The first few weeks was hectic. But alhamdulillah, I finished registration and I got used to my environment and I now know my way around the school and the time and location for all my lectures. I have two room mates and friends, Sasha and Maryam.

Maryam is half Nigerian and half Sudanese. She is also 18. She is also studying MBBS so we have the same class. We call her  Marie for short. She is the quite shy type. People often mistake her for an egoistic person when you first meet but when you get to know her she is quite crazy and full of fun. She is your go to girl when you need a listening ear and advice.

Sasha on the other hand is a bubbly person and easier to become friends with. She always has a smile on her face. She is half British and half Nigerian. When you want someone to defend you in anything then she is your go to girl. She is outspoken just like me although I ignore many things and pretend as if I don't know what's going on but Sasha never let's anything slide. I guess its the Igbo girl in her that can't let her stand by and do nothing when she or the people she care about is being maltreated or taken for granted. She is 19 and studying pharmacy. So we only have few classes together.

Sasha has an oval face with catlike eyes and long silky black hair. She has a button nose with red thin lips.
Marie is a black beauty. She has the body of a model and the prettiest face of the three of us that is why I guess people think she is not approachable and she is too egoistic.

Two years later.

Time flew by so fast. We were all making fun memories together. Dad is progressing with his company and making more money everyday.

Mom is making more delicious food everyday. Aslam is about to graduate. He is in Ss3. Ayra is in Js2.
Aisha got back with Amir after making him suffer for a whole year plus. I never knew he was that nice. He was saying the truth when he said he has changed.

Well as for us, Marie,Sasha and I we were engrossed in school work and having fun.

its no surprise though that many guys are after us both in school and outside school.

Though Marie has a boyfriend. His name is Sufyan. They met when we went to watch a basketball match. In case I haven't mentioned it we are all basketball freaks especially Sasha and I.

Sufyan was one of the players that day. He was slim and tall but he has well built muscles. He was quite handsome but that isn't the first thing you notice about him when you first meet. Its the aura he executes whenever he goes to a place. There is this charisma that he has that makes you want to know him or be associated with him.

I was the first person to notice the way Marie was looking at him and supporting him even though she doesn't know him. That was so not like her.

To confirm my suspicion, I said "hey can you that that guy over there he has been trying to throw a three pointer but he has been missing. He doesn't know how to make use of his height. If I were that tall I would have scored at least 20 baskets by now." I finished looking at the guy and everyone else on the court.

"Afrah don't say that can't you see the other tall guy that has been on him from the beginning of the game? Besides he is the highest scorer right now in the game and he is very good. You know you can never be a better player than he is." Marie shot back a little irritated.

"Whoa hold it right there tigress I was only saying what I think."I said trying to hide my smile. I turned to Sasha and sent her a knowing smile. She also noticed but didn't say anything.

"I think somebody is crushing on a particular player right now" Sasha squealed making some people look our way briefly.

"Babe you don't have to tell the whole school about someone's crush" I said with a little wink.
"I am not crushing on anyone" Marie said pouting.

"Sash did we call anyone's name?" I said laughing.
"Nope I can't remember saying Marie has a crush on a player." We continued laughing.

On a normal day, Marie would have left the place but today she just ignored us and continued watching the game.

I shifted closer to Sasha so we can scheme how to get the two together because she caught the guy also starring. Maybe I was just imagining but I can swear that he added more effort into his game to impress someone hehehehe(devilish grin).

When the game was over, we stalled a little so we can give him a chance to come but it seems like he was full of uncertainty. He doesn't want to be humiliated I guess since we have a history of politely turning almost all the guys down.

We waited for almost 30 minutes talking about random things but still there was no sign of him. So we left.

That was when Sasha and I made a silent vow to get them together. He seems like a nice guy plus Marie never looks at a guy twice but for some reasons she seems interested in this particular guy.

********
Somewhere in London

His p.o.v
Its been almost 3 years but I can't seem to forget that face and the voice ya Allah! She hunted my dreams every single day. She occupied my mind, my heart heck even my soul.

I've never been so carried away by a woman like this. Never.

She made me put more effort into my studies and work and Alhamdulillah she helped me in so many ways than you can ever imagine without even knowing she did that.

She had me wrapped around her little finger without even trying.
I've been denying it for so long but I accept it finally. I am in love with Afrah Mahmoud Hashim.

I was brought out of my thought by the wind that blew causing the drapes to flap close to my eyes.

I turned to check if there was any work I could do to take her off my mind but no I've done everything. In fact everyone has gone home except me.

"I can't do this anymore. I must make you mine or else I will go crazy. This love of a thing is merciless. I will just wait a little more and I will make myself known." He said to himself before calling his chauffeur to get ready to take home or rather his house because his home is were Afrah is.
