My Crush

Chapter 21

Deejah POV

Sheriff saw me but still has the nerve to avoid me like a plague and drove away. It was just too painful, I wish I never ran after him.

I sauntered out of my room to the living room and saw mum so engrossed on Sunnah TV listening to tafsir. I wish I could just go back to my room but was too late as she look up and stare at me gesturing me to have a seat and listen to the tafsir also.

That was how I sat down and listen attentively too. The lecture was all about egotism. He said egotism is induced by our temper laments which is either increase or decreased depending on our childhood training love, youthful, experience, education and religious upbringing.

"You can see what I always warn you about 'Egotism' people will always point finger at me because am your mother and will think that how I train you you to be not knowing your father is the cause of it all and not me. Wallahi deejah I don't want you to ever regret the reason why you were born into this world. Am not praying for anything to happen am just asking you to be careful. This duniya is a small world and anything can happen. You don't know the condition you might found your self one day, don't treat people so low, you don't know anything about their story. "Remember tongue is powerful. Through it a marriage is initiated and consummated, through it a statement can destroy a 25 years marriage over night, through it karma can befall on you. Therefore mind your tongue and speech toward people all this glitter are not gold." finally mum end her emotional lecture and smile at me.

Mum surely know her ways to always make me emotional after her every lecture. This was beyond my imagination mum's lecture sound suspicious like she knows what transpired last week or how I look down on low people. I blink back the tears. I can't breakdown in front of mum she might think my conscious is judging me or so.

What happen to your eyes that are red?"mum asked.

I can't bring my self to tell her what happened. So I just lied and told her something enter my eyes that why my eyes is watery.

I will rather go and apologies for all I did to them, than to let mum know anything that happen in her absent. Even if it has to hurt my self esteem.

Mallam Umar, our security man came in and greeted us and after we exchanging pleasantries with mum he greeted me again and inform me that I have a visitor waiting for me outside our gate.

I ask him to go and open the gate for him immediately, forgetting that mum was still in the living room with me.

I draped a veil on my head thinking it was sheriff that came to apologies about his recent behavior toward me. Not knowing it what will change my life forever.

A sleek flashy car drove into the house and it parked just beside my eyes. He intensely set his eyes on me and it make me squirmed uncomfortably. I doubt if it sheriff because he don't normally parked his car this way.

I try to peep but was not able to see the one through the tinted glass of the car.

He hopped out and my eyes wide agape. it can't be true maybe my eyes are deceiving me. He walk majestically as ever toward me. I could feel a little fire burning in me and the undeniable crush feelings rush back as he set his watery eyes on me making my heart skipped a beat just like the first time I ever saw him.

In an instant I got a grip of my self when he was just an inches facing me.

"What did you you want in my house?" I asked in an arrogant manner.
