Chapter Ten:

SAHLA'S P.O.V

I unleashed a small smile at my accomplishment.

I think I got rid of her. Permanently.

Don't get me wrong, I wanted to stop her but she didn't want to. She went as far as threatening me so why bother.

She probably's dead by now. Ba abun da ya dame ni.

Oh and Sahal. I don't know what's up with him.

He's changed. But it's obvious that he really hates Afeerah. Ofcourse thats an advantage.

Remembering him, I quickly got off my bed and walked to his room.

I knocked twice and when there was no answer, I opened the door.

Empty.

I checked the bathroom but he wasn't there.

I even asked the maids.

Maybe he's outside.

I walked outside and just as i was about to check the garden, a car came in through the gate.

Sahal came out of the car with a frown etched on his face.

"Ina kaje?" I asked taking in his appearance.

"Needed to see some...friends." he coughed.

My eyes fell on the red stains on his shirt. I scowled.

"What's that?" I asked raising an eyebrow.

He looked at the stains and sighed. "Nothing."

I bit my lip trying hard not to explode. "You went back didn't you? You just had to go back!"

"Sahla you shouldn't expect me to be like you. I'm not heartless, I couldn't leave her there just to face her death."

"Just when i thought you've changed. Just when I think you're becoming better, like me, you just have to go and be stupid!" I exclaimed pushing his chest and making him stumble a few steps back.

"Won't people get it? I will never be like you. I'd rather die than be like you." He said veins popping on his forehead.

"You say it like its a bad thing." I snarled shooting glares at him.

"I may be anything but I will never be a heartless blood sucking rat like you!' he boomed and pushed me, running into the house.

I seethed and my vision was clouded with red. I was shaking with rage.

My teeth clattering and i let out an ear piercing scream.

I hate you Afeerah Mustapha!

‼‼‼

I don't know how but i walked inside and slammed my door shut. I picked my phone and it almost slipped from my hands.

Just great! He just ruined my whole day.

Daddy came back a few hours later. I and Sahal greeted him not even looking at each other.

"I hope Afeerah is fitting in?" He asked all smiles.

I gave him the best smile i had right now. "She is daddy. It's only been a few days but everyone like her." I said trying not to let out the sarcasm.

"Ina take? Go and call her." He said.

I looked at Sahal secretly but he didn't even look at me.

I rolled my eyes and turned back to daddy. "Ok-"

He cut me off. "She's kind of ill so she's asleep right now." He lied obviously.

She's probably in some hospital.

"Sick?" Daddy asked his eyes widened with worry.

Why does he care about her anyway? She's just a stupid maid.

"She'll be alright. It's just the fever and cold." Sahal lied yet again.

"Oh toh. I'll see her tomorrow then." Daddy said.

Sahal left and I had my alone time with daddy, just gisting and stuff.

When it was about 10, I retired to bed.

"Se dasafe daddy." I said hugging him tightly.

"Good night my little simple girl."

Sahla and Sahal meant simple in Arabic so he liked calling us simple.

He told me he named us that because we were really very important and we came to them in their time of need. They never thought a miracle could come so simply.

I don't really see how that's understandable but I didn't dare say that to him.

I walked upstairs and into my room.

I yawned and sluggishly changed and flopped on the bed.

My eyelids didn't last five seconds before i fell into a beautiful dream.

‼‼‼

A heard some shuffling around when I was asleep.

I pried my eyes open but there was nobody there. But the door wasn't completely closed, there was a small gap.

Probably left it open yesterday.

I looked at the time and it was just 6am. Not time to get up.

So with a clear and empty mind, I went back to sleep.

Not before I heard my door being closed.
