I budge into my room heart relieved and thanking Allah for making things much easier only that my heart wouldn't want to admit zayyad truly loves my sis but why? The mysterious smile on his face is making me think...... What is he up too? He shouldn't dare play with Aisha's emotion, he better not.... Then a voice cut in saying I would have being the happiest if he does that to her hyfer said with anger laying on her face...... I took some steps closer to her, held her chin and said en mata baccin rai bai kamace kiba, meyasa kike fushi akan abunda bai kamataba? Aysha fa yayarki ce kuma duk abunda takeso yakamata ace muntayataso.... No sis meera, I don't see aysha as a sister anymore because even an animal wouldn't want to do what she did... She has totally changed and transformed her self into a new being, who the hell told her love is by being possessive or being dramatic? wlhy she won't get away with what she did to you.... Because I won't spare  her.

Hyfer!!! What are you saying? When have you..... No sis, allow me to speak because she has done something wrong and need to be told and brought back to the right track..... Hyfer said, ya salam!! What is happening? Why is my family tearing apart? Why? I asked myself... Hyfer I called out gently, listen to what I have to say and don't argue with me, she nodded while listening....

Aisha is our very own blood you know that and would go to any length to get what she want.... So why upset with what she did? I don't love zayyad i only see him as a friend so what if she loves him? Isn't he worth loving? He is she said, so then why are you angry at them both? Moreover this is what I wanted, I know aysha has said so many awful words to me but that won't make me hold a grudge against her because she's right... Why would I associate my self with that one person she's loving and will ever love? Compromises are made especially to those we love so please calm your self and help her in her battle, she lifted her head to look at me and said ohh yes!! her battle because to love and be loved in return is a success and an achievement while to love and not be loved in return is a battle..... What my mouth was dropped because she got me wrong, No hyfer this isnt what i mean..... Sis please she said, I may be quiet but not as good and patient as you are..... I have heard all that you said and wont argue but all i know is zayyad doesn't love her, he's being pushed to say what he said... So who do you think pushed him? I asked, you did sis ameera, u👉 she uttered.... Me? Why I asked confusedly....? All I will say is he loves, loved and will forever love you because I sense and see that in him but you won't get.... Miss good heart you only love what's best for who see's you as a rival and an enemy right?..... Today I vow to you i'm gonna also go to any mile to bring you and zayyad together regardless .... She stated and left the room..... Leaving me shattered

I staggered and manage to sit by the bed side, could this be the beginning of the end? Why is hyfer coming up with a whole new drama when i thought aysha's issue has been resolved by his grace..... Innalillahi wa-ina illayhir raji'un I muttered........

She excitedly got to the room relaxing her back at the closed door, she had her eyes closed while smiling.... Then She huff out some air of relief saying i knew this was gonna happen, i know how to get what i want, I'm so attractive that no man would wanna leave me...., I really love you zayyad!! she crawled to her bed, grabbed her cell phone to make a call........

hello dear

hi, guess what?

have you confessed your love to him? Or are you still waiting for him to figure out?

heck no!! He heard my conversation with miss goody to shoes #laughing out loud....! You know she always wanna be the best but this time around the world has revolved round......

I knew you can do it!! Em-emm but you shouldn't relax thinking you have him to your self and watch her cast her spell... Ok? A new strategy needs to be applied....

ohh yes!!! Dis is the reason i love you but not as much as that of my boo she said sarcastically.....

ni asuwa? Kikayi wa yayarki ma bare ni? Keh dai sai nazo zamu tattauna, ana kirana bye...

ke kika sani, babu sanayya a soyayya hope u get dt? Bye ma luv sai kinxo din..... Then she hung the call...

I'm just overwhelmed with joy what should i do... Oh lemmi call him to know how his drive back home is......

*************
He got to his car furiously, it took him some minutes to get hold of him self before leaving the compound..... Why doesn't she have interest in me? No she does because i see that in her eyes, she just wanna sacrifice her happiness for her sister whom despise her.... What I'm I even saying? A buzz just cut his thought, he was about to pick when he saw aisha's name appear to his screen, he hissed and ignore the 📞 call......

After a few long drive, he managed to reach his home safely in spite all his thought while driving, he move to the lounge sat on the couch distressed, I really need zaid's advice then he grabbed his phone to call him......

Zayyad: hello zaid! I really wanna see you now 🙏 please

Zaid: why are you sounding distress? Hope all is fine with you?

Zayyad: Dude!! Please just do as i request, ko ma menene zakaji idan kazo... Then he hung the call...... Flinging his cell phone to the rug....

Zayyad was busy walking to and fro waiting for his friend arrival then he heard the door 🎐 bell rings... He huff and quickly left to get the door.

zayyad hope all is well? zaid asked with concern

just come in he said, zaid went in and sat on the couch.

so tell me what is it friend? I have never seen you in such a state before....

Yes zaid, you really haven't because then i havent met her but now i have and things are trying to get way beyond control.....

What are you saying zayyad? Because you are speaking in riddles...... Said zaid.

Zayyad turn to face his friend with tears in his eyes, Ya Allah!!!! Zaid became 😨 scared Man be strong what's up?

🅸 🅻🅾🆅🅴 🅷🅴🆁, I really do but she doesn't love me, I don't know what i did to deserve this, I really wanna get married to her please zaid do something, I can't do without her please..... Then he 💔 broke down, zaid became confused and emotional, he understood every bit of his stress as he was once a victim of circumstance, although his never worked out #so sad... but zayyad in love? with who? So he will ever love someone?

Hmmm he puff out before placing his hands over his shoulder, heey dude be calm every thing is gonna be fine, c'mon stop acting like a lady, he went to the fridge brought out a table water and handed to zayyad to drink and be calm.....

So tell me who she is, how you met her and how you know she doesnt love you.... Zayyad told him each and every incidence which happened between them as well as aisha's crush on him along with the hate she has for her sister whom he loves......!! Zaid i really won't spare her if she does anything to my life!!!

I know it's difficult when things get this busy, but there's really no need to get so worked up over it zayyad, Ameera will be all yours insha Allah so long as you love her, just focus on getting her to love you no need of playing it safe by pretending to like aisha when you don't..... Yes zaid i only did that to protect meerah from her evil act but it turn out to be me who is faulty as hyfer and meerah perceive what i said in a different way..... I just need to follow up via hyfer.. Although she isn't of age but her mindset is way better than some adult..... Zaid smiled and said where were you when it was said maturity is optional? You were sleeping right?he asked jokingly..... Zayyad smiled at what he said as zaid said that's more like it Dude.. Kaima yau kafada tarko, ba kanayi ma wasu tsiya ba? Yau Allah ya kamaka!!! Kai kasani zayyad replied....... Toh abokina yamma tayi bari na karasa gida insha Allah zamuyi waya amma karka saka damuwa a ranka plz.... Zayyad nodded like a bby before seeing him off.

••••••••••••••••••••🍭

I totally forgot i have a bouk not until when it start rumbling of hunger, I weakly pick my self and headed to the kitchen to make something for my self in spite my lost of appetite, my movement was so sluggish when i heard the door bell ring!!!

Subhanallah!! I said as I budge into someone, are you mad? Aisha yelled, have you gone blind or something? Ke dakikiyace bakya gani zaki bigeni, ance baa sonki ko dole ne? I'm sorry i said and was about to go see who is at the door when she held ma sleeve, i paused for a few seconds before asking her to let go!!! Let go of my sleeve, i said politely but she ignored then i unlock her hand from my sleeve and left, she came after me, grabbing me forcefully, kina hauka ina magana zaki gyaleni? I became numb at what she said, Kece babbar mahaukaciya! Dakikiya wacce bata san kima da daraja ba!! Hyfer react...... As she came passing by!.

Hyfer!! Aysha call out loud and about to slap her when she held her hand saying "niba sis bace dazaki takani na kyaleki " if you think transforming yourself into a villain will make zayyad love you then you have failed because you are a worthless lady and deserve no one to love you except you turn over a new leaf as you were!!! No one will forever want you as a friend talk more of a sister........ So you better accept defeat because I hyfer imran hate you with each and every fibre of my vane!! She then unlock my hand from her grip and accompanied me to the lounge.. The tears 💧 dropping down my cheeks made me more weak and speechless, heyy sis? Please stop weeping over someone who worth not your tears, kukan da kike yawan yi shiyasa take miki abunda taga dama, she then wipe away the tears using a handkerchief :: hyfer go see who is at the 🚪 door, sure sis.......

One minute!! Aysha declare as she smiled and took a few steps to hyfer placing her hand over her cheek saying I see my baby sister has grown up!! That's so lovely but before i give a reply to all that you said to me......... She ended her sentence with a slap and shouted how dare you speak to me in such a manner? have you lost it?

Fine!!! From today henceforth i have sever all tier's with you two... Husna is my only blood and if she herself doesn't need me then am ok!! You all know i can and will go to any mile just to get what belongs to me!!! Zayyad is mine and will be mine forever period.....then she return to her room fuming

*Husna work up frightened as to the sound of aisha's voice and find her way to the lounge where the noise was coming from*....

Hyfer was about to retaliate when i stopped her by saying i don't know you to be this way, what came over you hyfer? You are always quite and cool so what's wrong? What changed? Sis meerah every thing has changed, i can't stand and watch my family being harmed in anyway not even by a fellow member, I'm trying to make her understand he isn't interested in her but she wouldn't see that...... Do you think being this way will make her remorse? No it won't but rather make her see the both of us as a competition, so just don't try disrespecting her in anyway, this isn't the way we were brought up hope you get that? She nodded and left to answer the door

Assalamu alaykum! She heard as she opened the door, she smiled at who she saw ohhh uncle Yusuf please come in and have a seat.... She then went to bring something chilled for him.... Ina wuni uncle? I greeted, lafiya kalau ameera ya gida? Lafiya kalau uncle yasu aunty? Suna lafiya basu san zan karaso nan ba da khadija(his daughter) ta biyoni don kusan kullun sai tayi wakar akawota wurin husna, Allah Sarki.

Husna came rushing as she caught a glimpse of him sitting on the couch, uncle she said as she gave him a hug, where is khadija? Is she at home? Why did you not come along with? Oh my!! All these questions for me husna? Then i cut in by saying can't you greet? Where are you manners? Oops am sorry uncle, oh never mind.... He and his niece(husna) were busy having a conversation when hyfer brought him some snacks, thanks hyfer, why is the house so doll? You all are looking distress hope all is well or is it the absence of your parents that is making you ladies look pale? No uncle we all just woke up as to the sound of the door bell i said ''ya Allah please forgive me, i just lied'' i 👀 see, so where is Aisha? He asked.... Husna cut in by saying "Yes now i remember emm-mm i heard aisha yelling while i was asleep, the sound of her voice woke me up, I and hyfer looked at each other "that should be you dreaming we both said in unison then i added by saying kinsan baccin la'asr babu kyau sai mutun yayita mafarke mafarke right uncle? Haka ne husna..... So were is she? Em-m uncle she went to get her clothes from a fashion designer hyfer lied..... Ok then when she comes back extend my greetings to her, I was just passing by so decide to stop and see you girls, i should be taking my leave now but you haven't tasted any of the snacks I said..... Kun manta yau alhamis ina azumi...... Ok then let me have it package for you..... I did like i said and gave to him.... Thanks ameera he said and took his leave...... I and hyfer huff out as he coded nothing.

Ibro came in with a salam holding some shopping bags and a tray on his hand, er baba he called me, yes ibro ya akayi? Gashi alhj yace a shigo muku dashi, he dropped the bags, tray and left.... Husna bounced on the shopping bags and brought out some boxes of chocolate, 🍧 ice creams, 🍓 strawberries, 🍇 grapes etc then she sight a tray of potato casserole ohh woow uncle has made my day, sis meerah come have a glimpse of what he brought, auta go get me a serving plate and spoon let me dish out some for Aisha!! Yes sis... Hyfer gave me an angry glair which i ignored and acted oblivious...., here is it sis husna said, oh thanx baby dull......

I scooped some of the casserole into the serving dish before finding my way to her room..... assalam!! I uttered while budging in, i dropped the dish by the table close to the standing mirror while i sat close to her..... Sis uncle Yusuf came a while ago but he was in a hurry and left although he asked me to extend his greetings, he...... Enough she shush me by saying "wani gulma ne ko munafurci ya sa ki kawomun abinci har daki? Karki kuma shigomun daki batareda permission ba... I stood to leave when she came holding the plate of casserole, she scooped a little and punch it to my mouth smiling saying you need it glutton as she unlock my fist and place the plate on it, then she raised a brow, crossed her arms over her bouk and pointed directly to the door saying you may leave miss.

Remain bless.
