Chapter Five: Sparkling water

SAHLA'S P.O.V

I woke up with a smirk on my face the next morning. I just couldn't wait to get this show on the road.

I quickly did my morning drill and ran downstairs to find Sahal already ready, as always.

"Where's Afeerah?" I asked him looking into the kitchen.

"How am I supposed to know?" He muttered and i just hissed deciding to ignore him.

Walking into the kitchen, i bumped into a pale looking Afeerah.

"G-good morning Ms. Sahla. I'm sorry," she said quickly looking anywhere but me.

"Mstwww." I hissed and walked further into the kitchen, hitting her shoulder.

I grabbed an apple and looked into her red eyes. "Listen, when we go to school, you're going to follow my orders and you'll still be my maid out there. Kinji ni? (Did you hear me?)"

"Yes Ms. Sahla." She said tears filling her eyes.

"You're such a cry baby." With that, i pushed past her and out of the kitchen.

Surprisingly, Sahal was listening to our little conversation and i didn't miss the small smirk on his face.

"Looks like someone doesn't like Afeerah either," I mumbled.

He quickly hid his smirk. "Keep thinking what you want."

_+_+_

The car ride was silent but entertaining. Afeerah and i sat at the back of the white Highlander while Sahal sat in the front with the driver.

Afeerah just looked out of the window and as I stared at her, I couldn't miss the tears that were falling down her cheeks and onto her skirt.

Seriously, that girl has some serious issues with crying. Hawayene yamata yawa.

When the car stopped, Afeerah was about to walk out but i stopped her.

"Open the door for me first," i ordered.

She gulped and got out of the car walking to my side. I looked at her face to find her eyes redder and puffier.

She opened the door for me and i couldn't help but smirk. Sahal just shook his head with and expressionless face and walked out of the car.

I put one leg out of the car, then the other and then i got out. Everyone was looking at us probably wondering what just happened.

"Follow me." I said with out looking at her and started strutting into the school. Sure enough, she was walking behind me like a lost cow.

I spotted Hayyam and i walked to her.

"Hey," i smiled.

"Hi," she said but i could see her eyes were on Afeerah. "Why is she following you and why did you come out of the same car?"

I grinned. "Well you see, what I was telling you on WhatsApp the other day. Afeerah here is my personal maid. She works at my house."

Hayyam gasped. "Seriously?" She laughed right at Afeerah's face.

"Shoo! You can go now. But i want you behind me at lunch." I told Afeerah.

She didn't wait for any signal because she just ran towards the bathroom.

Ilham, Zarah and Farha walked over to us the next second.

"What was that?" They said referring to Afeerah.

"All I can say is, she's my maid." I sighed with a smile.

Their eyes bulged out of their sockets. Not like really I'm just exaggerating.

"Maid?"

"Personal maid." I assured them. "I'll make sure she wishes she weren't born."

"But why?" I heard Farha's soft sigh.

"Because I don't like her and I have the power to do whatever i want." I snarled.

She flinched and didn't say another word, as we walked to our classes, i told them what happened yesterday.

_+_+_

At lunch, everyone at school knew i had a new maid.

Following my orders, Afeerah was behind me as soon as i was walking to the cafeteria.

"I'll be sitting at table 9 and you'll bring my lunch to me. Tell the lunch lady from now on, you'll be the one who brings my lunch." I told her as I entered the cafeteria.

"Yes Ms. Sahla."

I sat and waited for her with my lunch. After a few minutes, she arrived with my tray of indomie and peppered chicken sith fried egg.

"Where's the drink?" I asked her when she dropped it on my table. A few people looked at us.

She stared at the floor not saying anything.

"Urgh. Get me some water." I snapped and she quickly walked away.

I talked with my friends as people whispered about the event that just occurred, some laughed on Afeerah's expense.

She walked over to my table holding a single sachet water.

I gasped and snatched the water away from her. "How dare you disrespect me like this?" I shouted and everyone's attention was now on us. "Are you deranged? Everyone knows i don't take sachet water and you dared to hand me this?" I exploded and made a hole in the water.

"This will teach you respect and you should hope this doesn't happen again!" I sprayed the water all over her.

"And now go get me water. Sparkling water. You maid!" I said throwing the empty sachet on her face. She stared at the ground as tears flew down her face endlessly.

Everyone gasped and laughed. Some even took a video of it.

"Get out of my sight." I ordered and she ran away from me, going over to the lunch lady.

I exhaled and took my seat and my eyes locked with Sahal's.

His eyes were glimmering and there was this huge evil smile on his face.

And don't know how but i found myself smiling back.
