AREEZAH✔️

I came back yesterday late to my own surprise, I never checked the time while I was out with Jameel at night. I was complaining that Ilkimah and Iklimah's banters are the worst I've seen but I think it was Mine and Jameel's. Ours was more like an argument.

He talks too much for a guy and yet he complains that I'm the rushing mouth between us.

On a Monday I layed in my bed up until now. Hajiya Hajarah was in our house even today, she said that I should not burden myself with any work. She mentioned that I needed rest even before the wedding because it was going to be stressful.

I told her I could manage and I didn't need any rest because I was feeling okay but she wouldn't hear of it.

I later retired back to my room and I slept half of the day off.

It's now pass 1:00 and I did my ablution before praying zuhr. I had the intention of going out today.

I want to amend the beef between my friends that I have caused. I don't know how to begin but I know I needed to do this.

After my prayer, I wore my hijab and strolled downstairs informing the family that I was going out.

I reached my destination quite quickly and sat at a far corner. I rummaged through my handbag and found my phone before sending text messages to my friends.

Hannan was the first to arrive, since I was at the far corner she couldn't see me. She looked around and couldn't find anyone then sat down on one of the chairs.

Christy emerged next, she was looking down as she walks in. Her face turns sour immediately she Spotted Hannan.

"Do you think by sending an anonymous text message and me running down here would make me forgive you?" Christy fired. This wasn't the reason why I had gathered us here.

I used a new SIM card to send messages to them, I had threatened them if they did not come to this destination I was going to do one or two things they don't like. I didn't have choice because if they had known that it was me, they won't even budge.

But now it seem as if I'm just worsening the situation.

"Oh please Christy, what kind of low move is that? If I wanted to talk to you would I choose this way when I know the road to your house?"

I did a silent thank you as soon as Ilkimah and Iklimah arrived, they were the ones I'm waiting for.

I alighted immediately they gathered. "So you now send anonymous texts?" Iklimah was the smart one here, she guessed correctly and I nodded my head.

Christy scoffed and was about to leave when I caught her wrist. "Just listen to what I have to say," my eyes were pleading but she didn't even look back.

I took her silence as a yes and began.

"I know I'm not the perfect girl you guys would want to be friends with, because let's face it I don't even know how friendship works. This is my first time of actually having friends and it saddens my heart that I was the reason for your misunderstanding. Christy," I started with her first, she was the one that was hurt deeply.

"I never knew this was how you felt, I'm sorry your friends couldn't understand that you were in a problem all because of me, I'm sorry I came in between you guys, I'm sorry for whatever has caused you grief." They didn't utter anything. They were all just looking at me while I was in the brim of tears.

"Iklimah and Ilkimah, I'm sorry you thought I was a good friend when obviously I'm not. I couldn't even attend your wedding and I'm sorry if you had expected too much from me but I didn't even make any effort." the twins kept mute, right at the moment the tears were already pouring away.
