RIDWAN'S POV.
I got down to the garden just within few minutes...i saw her sitting on the lovers bench with her back facing me from behind..i decided to walk calmly not to scare her but it seems she noticed my presence because she abruptly stood up and turned to face me ...Good heavens! This girl is an Angel her skin is so white like snow, thick eye brows with white wide eyes, lips red as strawberry and so adorable, nose nicely shaped and pointed, she is of average height, she still looks curvy even in the big long hijab dress she is currently wearing plus she tied her hair in a turban but seemed scared and nervous.
As soon as she saw me, she tried walking away but i blocked her way.
"Hey little miss , take it easy i wont bite i only came here to talk and apologise okay."
i calmly said to her and i meant it.
"okay i have heard you, can i leave now?" Ah but what the hell is her problem, didn't she hear me when i said i only came here for peace i just came to apologise and perhaps get to know her a little better because she has really got me intrigued.
" No but why are you acting all rude, i told you i only came for peace, to apologise..that's all" i further said to her a little bit annoyed
"Yes sir i also said i have accepted your apology but i have to get back to my quarter now, if you may please excuse me and step out the way for me to pass" She nervously replied back to me.
" Alright suit yourself " i said to her a bit disappointed and move out of her way as she briskly walked away...i just stood there staring at her back as she walked wondering why she acted that way towards me, she could have been a little bit nice ...after all i only meant good., ..she almost tripped and fell but fortunately she didn't, i just chuckled lightly and shook my head .
Well i guess i better head back to my room, my breakfast must be getting cold besides i have to bath and go to school, ...ha i cant wait to finally complete school just left with couple of months more to go. ...am running late, my friend must be waiting for me in class by now because we have somewhere to go after school.
I headed back to the main house,...i entered the living room and saw Mrs Harun talking harshly to the new cook am thinking she will be Layla's mom because i could see the resemblance ....poor woman, she couldn't find anywhere to work but this house and under the same roof with this mean woman
"Goodmorning" i said with a straight face as i made my way towards the stairs into my room .
" Good morning to yourself and where are you coming from by this time of the morning dressed like this " Mrs Harun sternly said to me as usual.
"Excuse me" i said to her already annoyed.
" You heard me" She replied back to me
" Well first of all, i was directing my Good morning to the cook standing beside you,secondly i don't have to answer to you about my where about what i do and do Not do, that is none of your business" i said to her as i stormed upstairs to my room...am quit sure i left her speechless judging from her facial reaction, as if she wanted to explode.
I went straight for the shower and came back to eat my breakfast then got myself dressed for school, i took my car keys from the drawer in the dresser by the wall then walked out locking the door with keys...i just love my privacy , no one enters my room when am not around.

LAYLA'S POV
I stood by the window in the living room as i await my mom...i stared up into the clouds , they had such mixture of colours ..pink and orange...as the sun set , its beautiful Allahu Akbar...nature it self is indeed beautiful.
I had just finish reciting the holy Quran after offering my asr salat , The Holy Quran is my favourite book to read, it gives me such inner peace i can't find anywhere
I suddenly hear the entrance door jerk open...then i turn to look who it is though i have a feeling its my mom certainly...and it indeed is her but she looked kinda sad and dull my heart sunk because i don't want to see her distress.
"Salamualaikum habibti...how are you and what are you doing standing by the window ?" my mom said to me upon entering into the living room .
"Wa alaikumsalam, Alhamdullilah mom am fine...i was just starring at nature just a habit of mine".
" Oh i see , alright its all good ,MashaAllah" She calmly said to me she seems to be hiding her feelings so well because she tries smiling every now and then as she talks to me but i know her so well.
"What is wrong mom..what happened"
i just asked her straight forward after i got close to her by the kitchen counter and placed my hand on her shoulder with her back facing me because she was just about to dish out our dinner into the plates
She immediately turned around and hugged me so tight.
"Oh my dear, you are all grown up now MashaAllah, and you know me so well...its just the master's wife she seems so mean and rude i wonder why and i have done nothing wrong against her, can you imagine earlier on today she requested for a particular dish which will take about 30 minutes to be ready but she expected it within 15 minutes i respectfully explained to her that the dish will take longer than she demand or want but she got angry and started rattling all sort of rebuke works and saying am the worst cook she has ever had, am being disrespectful, and that she will sack me etc, she even spoke harshly to the young man that walked in, he only simply greeted but she responded so rudely but he seemed to know how to defend himself quite well , am guessing he be part of the family...anyway my advise to you is that u stay away from she n her family including her children i just don't want anymore complications okay ..." my mom narrated to me then warned me ..wow, that mean witch, besides I think that guy she is talking g about could be the same guy in the garden with me earlier but mom has just warned me to stay away from them all ...hmm she might get mad if i told her i was with him earlier on today, maybe i should just keep it to myself.
"Layla, layla are you okay?" My mom spoke out again bringing me out of my reverie , it seemed I zoned out
"Yes mom i have heard you and don't you worry , someday i will take you out of this misery soon into a wonderful and beautiful life again alright...IN SHAA ALLAH" My mom smiled at me and said i know you will IN SHAA ALLAH " Now lets get on with our dinner before it gets cold
"Yes am starving " i said to her chuckling after eating we bid good byes and retired for bed.
The next day after offering my fajr Salat at dawn i took a nap again for some time but the voice of my mom calling out my name woke me up from sleep
"Layla!!!"...my mom kept on calling my name until she opened my bedroom door and stomed in.
,"Layla, so you still sleeping by this time...well honey its time to stand up from bed, go bath, brush, dress up come eat breakfast with me at the dinning table after which we will be going to the main house to resume work.
,"What!....work?...n at the main house...why am i going with you to work today mom" i surprisingly asked my mom with my voice unintentionally high because i am surprised i don't want to go to the main house to see that mean woman and especially because i don't want to bump into that guy again...i don't even know his name.
"Yhh yhh you heard me angel...today i have quite a lot of work at the main house
