All the formalities were done and Aleeya is now in her matrimonial home. All the guests have also left while others that don't live in town are staying at our place for the night.
"It's been a long day Najma" I said to her whining as I drop my clutch and start removing my jewelries.
"Not that, What's up with you?" She asked while removing her head tie. She is spending the night here with me.
"I'll tell you when we finish praying" I say heading to the bathroom.
We all took a shower, changed into our pajamas and prayed.
"Are you ready to tell me now?" Najma asks while making herself comfortable on the bed. "Huh! Najma... I don't even know how to start" I say giving her a sorry face.
"Just start even if it's from the end, but don't leave any detail" she says looking curious.
She didn't even ask of her phone... guess she has forgotten. But who forgets about their phone in this era?
I narrated the whole story to Najma
From the texts to Noor rescuing me.
"O.M.G!!! Leenah, you went through all that today?! You see the reason why I never liked that Ameer? He is such a jerk! How can he think of breaking an innocent girl's heart like that?" She says heaving a sigh.
"Najma, I don't know what I do to deserve all that he has done to me, I mean... It just doesn't make any sense" I say while tears slipped down my cheeks without me being able to control them.
"What would have happened if Noor didn't save you? I don't even want to think of that but all thanks to him. And I am so going to kill Ameer when I see him next" she says all raged up. She stood up and started pacing back and forth while biting her finger.
"Let it slide Najma, he'd get what he deserves... I don't want to continue talking about this and you pacing back and forth is making me All tense and nervous" I say with a cracked voice, she came close to me and wiped away my tears.
"I understand, you'll need some space and do things that'll get your mind off of him. Believe me, you deserve much more than he was giving you. she say while caressing my back gently.
"Ummhmmm" was all that came out of me.
"So now, tell me how does it feel to have a good looking, hot and handsome guy rescuing you and asking you to be friends with him?" She asks sounding excited all for the sake of trying to change the topic and make me cheer up.
This girl is soooooo dramatic, I just finished telling her about my man yet, she thinks I'd cheer up.
"Najmaaaaaa!!!! He is hot, I can't deny that and we didn't even exchange contacts or something. Everything was just casual " I say glaring at her and also acting all cool so she don't get all worked up the more.
"That's how it always starts. You know when..." she start blabbing and I cut her off by putting my hands to cover up her mouth.
"This is not the right time monkey!" I say while I slowly pull my hands off of her mouth.
"Okay, have you eaten at all?" She asks worriedly
"No I am not hungry" I retorted.
"Don't kill yourself now because of that douchebag that doesn't know your worth" she says making her way out of the room.
She came back with some samosas, a meatpie and a milkshake
How can I say no to all that?
"Where is my phone Leenah?" She asked keeping the tray in front of me. Ohh lord save me from an angry lion I skipped the part that I tossed her phone when narrating what happened earlier just to avoid drama.
"Erhmm, you see... I was kind of frustrated and..." she cut me off by seeing how nervous I look and avoiding eye contact with her.
"Ohh no, my phoooooonnnnneee!" She yelled and tugged me roughly.
"It is broken baby girl" I say as calmly as possible while I munched on the samosa.
"Should I add to your pain now right now?" She ask throwing daggers at me.
"No, why would I want that? Just go buy a new one" I say in a calm manner.
I kept munching on the snacks like a hungry, wild cat. She just let it slide. One thing I like about Najma is that she is an optimistic person.
She just heaved a sigh and muttered something under her breath which I don't even want to know what it is at the moment.
I finished eating and then we both decided to sleep.
It's been a really long day.
The next morning...
As I walked out of the bathroom, I was greeted by the sight of Meelah and Najma still soundly asleep. I couldn't help but shake my head at the thought of how their husbands would deal with them. Meelah's makeup was still smeared across her face, a clear indication that she had fallen asleep without bothering to remove it.
I made my way to the kitchen and was surprised to see Binta already there. "Good morning Binta," I greeted her, opening the fridge to grab some water.
"Good morning my dear, how are you?" she asked sweetly.
"I'm fine," I replied, taking a quick sip of water before closing the fridge. I didn't feel like engaging in any lengthy conversation, so I excused myself to go brush my teeth and take a shower.
After my shower, I noticed that Meelah and Najma were still fast asleep. I couldn't help but wonder if they were still alive. I decided to go makeup-free and dressed in something casual, not feeling like putting in the effort for makeup today.
As I walked out of the bathroom, my phone started ringing. I quickly silenced it, not wanting to wake up Meelah and Najma. I picked up the call without checking to see who it was, silently hoping it wasn't Ameer or his new girlfriend.
