Lovable Zainab

chapter 11

           Chapter 11

Zainab's POV

       Text messages is an amazing form of communication. People uses it to pass message and all that. For some of my friends who has lovers they always look forward to a goodnight and good morning text from that special someone but for me it's service message nothing important, that's why I ignore text messages the only ones I look forward to are credit alert that my bank sends and ever since Danladi told me about recieving any strange message I have been jumpy about any message notification.

So the thing that baffles me now is the fact that I stumbled onto a message from a contact named 'Heart beat' a contact which I don't remember Saving.

'Goodmorning love did you miss me'  that was the message. I read the message over and over again.

It felt strange to me. I wanted to call the sender but I decided against it instead I used my true caller app. That's when I discovered that the text was sent by Yusuf. I felt a surge of relief, Thankful that it was not from a bad person out to get me. What if Yusuf is a bad person though, I don't even know anything about the guy only that he is from Fatima's family and he is a doctor maybe I could use this medium to ask him since I'm kinda shy around him.

'How is your first day at work?' I texted back and waited for his reply

"It's fine I've been working as an errand boy for the senior staff so you tell me how my first day went?" Came his reply.

I smiled at the message that's how it supposed to be. Yusuf is quite young and the senior doctors will look at him as a small child he just needs to be focused and prove to them that he knows what he is doing.

'frustrating! But that's natural because you are just starting with time you will adjust.' I read it before I pressed send.

"Thank you dearest but I have to go we'll chat on WhatsApp later. P.s be online.'

He referred to me as dearest

'I will try.' I replied back.

   Today Amina wasn't on duty. I know because she was sitting on a couch watching a Indian movie. It's been long I saw her in normal clothing she's always wearing  scrub whenever I see her but today she was wearing a yellow gown ew! I hate yellow.

I went to sit beside her she glared at me and I gave her a sweet smile. Amina and I used to be close to each other once upon a time, I just don't know what happened to us. She just drifted away and out of the Bloom became mean to me.

"What are watching?" I asked. She let out small groan but didn't answer.

"Oh my God it's Shar Khan. I must watch with you." I say faking my enthusiasm.

She continued to ignore me. We got to a part where huffed at the exaggerating scene.

"Quite annoying right. I mean.. "

"Shut up! Why are you here when we both know that you hardly watch Indian movies."  And she was right I'm don't usually watch Indian movies it's not as if I hate them I can watch a full Indian movie but not their series The suspense is too much.

"I don't bother myself with their Zee world that doesn't mean I don't watch Indian movies. Okay to answer you, I just want to spend time with you since today is your off day." I told her honestly. I'm trying to make her close to me again partly because my step mom insisted but mostly because I miss her.

She looked shocked but covered up her expression as quickly as it appeared. "Don't you have better things to do than disturb me?" She asked with a bored look.
