The Hijabi's Best Friend.

5. Amber eyes?

We waited for about ten to fifteen minutes for Lihaan to arrive.

He didn't show up. So, Dad decided to send us home and he said he would wait for Lihaan and get his admission approved.

Dad called one of our drivers, who came and picked us up from the school.

We reached home and rested for some time. I decided to take a bath and freshen up since we have to go for dinner at Uncle Mohammed's house.

I quickly went and took a bath. I dried my hair and straightened them. I wore Pj's and an oversized comfortable tee, in which two more Liya(s)could fit in. Lol. I played the song "Shape of you" by Ed Sheeran, which I had never listened to.😮

I got out two outfits from the closet and spent good twenty-five minutes deciding which one to wear. One was an Indian outfit and the other one was a western.

"Girl you know I don't you know..."

As I was singing the lyrics I heard a voice behind me.

"You should go for the Indian outfit," Leena said out of no where.

"Oh my gosh, you scared the soul out of me idiot," I said jumping out of my bed and placing my hands on my chest. I could feel my heart beating faster.

"Oh, I was here all the time seeing you do stupid stuff. Like seriously who doesn't know the lyrics of the song shape of you?" Leena said munching a bar of chocolate and sitting on my bed.

"And I have recorded a video of you singing the wrong lyrics so confidently," she said grinning.

"You were here all this time?" I asked. It was a nice time for the floor to just swallow me. I covered my face with my hands."Oh Allah," I whispered. My cheeks turned red.

"Oh god. Please delete it, my dear sister," I begged in front of her with puppy eyes.

I had to. Because the last time she recorded me was when I pushed a door which said pull. And I kept on doing it till I saw a push word on the god damn door. I thought no one saw my stupidity. But this woman, she ended up recording my video. And I came to know about it in one of my cousin's birthday party when she displayed that video on the big projector screen. Omg, I don't wanna think about that day.

"Umm, why?" she asked.

"Because umm..." I stuttered.

"Hmm I was thinking of showing this video to your friend Musfirah when we meet her tonight, it would be a nice idea right?" she said playing the video.

Oh god. What should I do? This woman does what she says.

"Ya Allah help me," I said lifting up my hands and acting like making a dua.

"Oh come on, don't be so dramatic Liya. Okay, Can you do a favor for me?" Leena asked.

"Yes Majesty, I am at your service," I bowed down to her and picked a pillow which was near my reach.

I stood straight up and threw the pillow at Leena.

"HEADSHOT," I exclaimed punching in the air.

"YOU DID NOT JUST DO THAT," Leena said grabbing a pillow which was on her lap.

I ran out of the room and decided to hide behind a door which was near my room.

As she ran downstairs I quickly went inside my room and searched for her phone which I suppose, fell from her hand when I had hit her. I quickly accessed the fingerprint and bam, I deleted my video. That felt like a very nice victory.

"Oww," I yelled.

As I turned behind there were both Mahad and Leena ready with the pillows to start a pillow war.😅
