Sworn Sisters

CHAPTER TWENTY-FOUR

" Answer me! "

Kalthum snapped out of her shock. She quickly went forward to grab her phone out of Basma's hand.

" Give me my phone " she demanded

Basma refuses to give her " answer the question first. I'm very sure that this chat I just read was with Sir Faisal. He is the only Faisal you know if I can remember. When did you two start it all? What did you do to him? I'm sure sir Faisal isn't in his right state of mind, you must have done something to brainwash him-"

Kalthum jerked her phone out of Basma's hand in between her ranting

" you don't know what you're saying Basma. Who gave you the right to go through my phone? " Kalthum snapped

Basma fumed "You disgust me a lot. I don't know which game you're playing with him. You better leave him alone or else"

" you can't do anything to me Basma. Just because you saw a particular Faisal on my phone doesn't mean it's Sir Faisal. Just lay off of my business and mind your own "

Basma shook her head. She held her waist " I won't stay out of this and you can't fool me Kalthum, you can't. I thought you were still the good and calm kalthum I used to know but now I can see that you're worse than that. You disgust me to the core"

" Just shut up Basma. You keep on talking about disgust! When you're the only disgusting thing I know, so never in your life try comparing me with yourself. Just wait till the day, the whole universe will know about who you are. "

Basma laughed sarcastically " And who will believe you? No one is going to, dear sister. Remember, sir Faisal was the one that found you at the hotel when that man's wife was beating you. It won't be long before he gets tired of you"

" Shut up. You are the one on the bed with that married man, not me. Stop trying to twist the story again "

Basma chuckled "But he doesn't know the truth dear. Sir Faisal doesn't know that . Have you forgotten that there is a video ?" she winked

Kalthum was on the verge of clawing out her sister's eyes " Just shut up. You can't do anything to me Basma. There is nothing you can do"

" Alright little sister " Basma laughed " just watch your back "

" GET OUT! "

" That's exactly what I'm about to do love. Catch ya later " Basma blew her a kiss

The moment the door made a banging sound, Kalthum screamed. She was tired of Basma always having the upper hand. Kalthum knew Basma was only trying to get to her and she successfully did. She took a deep breath.

" I won't let her get to me. I need to get a hold of myself" she chanted

Umm Rasheed's words came back to her "Never give up, fight whatever storms might come your way"

Kalthum assured herself. That is exactly what she was going to do. She has to fight it all. She was never a loser and in this fight, she will never lose it.

Kathum searched the room to see if there was anything Basma could use to implicate her. She checked Basma's luggage and found none. She checked under Basma's bed and still found nothing.

Then realization dawned on her. The first day they came to work here, she remembered collecting a condom pack from Basma to throw it away later. Till now, she hasn't done that. She ran to her box, opened the small zip at the front of the box, and there it was sitting in her bag. She retrieved it quickly and ran to the bathroom. Kalthum flushed it down the drain.

She blew out a breath, There was nothing else Basma could use against her. Kalthum still knew she had to be alarmed. Her sister is very corny, whenever she puts her mind to doing something she must do it. Kalthum needed to be careful before all her hard work went down the drain.
