I alighted outta the car almost immediately as she handed me a box of cake with a smile.

"what for Afrah? "they isn't any need of giving me this cake. It's too much

"well, it isn't yours, so take it to "your siblings" she concluded steadfastly

I smiled and thanked her before waving at her until she was out of my sight. I heaved a deep breath and turn toward the house gate only to set my eyes on four eye's whom tend to quell as their facial expressions shows no sign of gayness.

I bowbent my head thinking haply it was because of my clad and in a state of shyness I've got to walk "slow as a molasses in January" before i plummet again.

On reaching to them, i smiled coyly before saying my salaam.

Wsalaaam "Ameera! How are you he asked bluely and with no expression of joy in his tone.

I'm fine zaid! i said curtly turning to my right. "Yaya zayyad i called out softly on seeing how vehement his glare was on me and looking at me with a knowing glare made me blushed my discomfort with the situation.

"Say something please¡ "zaid muttered same time nudging him to which he unmind and looked away.

I wasn't surprised at his reaction cos of the way he behaved "queer as a clockwork orange" lately but, it was embarrassing enough that I blushed a little pink. "you two should come into the house i manage to speak again

"No" came his voice emphatically, as he shot me a standoffish look. 

"But why? The sky is clouded, it could be rain any moment. C'mon let's go in.

"Ameera" I'm not here to talk to you in your house. In fact I'm here to ask you questions which i have no answers to! "That which left me flummox" he finish with a furrowed brows and a scoff.

My heart skipped. What answers is he beseeching for? Why is he talking adamantly? Before i could finish speaking to myself and finally actualize what he meant, i saw a few printed photos flying on the air to which one amongst the three falls on the box of cake on my hand. What i saw made me startled as the box of cake drops on the floor to which, the whipped cream on it smutched a part of his face.

Innalillahi wa inna ilayhir Raj'un came my dua, bending down to pick the rest pictures. I actually didn't know when tears began to well up and cloud my vision, i wiped it off before standing.

"What's this? Who sent you this? And why I'm i in the picture? I questioned nosily.

Karki raina mun hankali mana (you shouldn't play with my wit) how could you ask me such question when obviously I'm here demanding for an answer.

"I promise i don't know anything about this photo! I ain't the one on it. However, i don't know the guy in the picture. Trust me yaya zayyad, it's just a deception.

If this is an "alternative fact" like you said then, who was the guy you went to the hotel with? And why would he hold you if at all there is nothing between you two? He interrogated madly.

That was "ishaq" yeah afrah's cousin she sent him to Come pick me for her birthday... You could see for yourself a birthday cake. I ended pointing at his face were he was smutched by it.

I doubt your words Ameera! Just as he was about saying another word, a multimedia message pop on his phone and what he saw made him leathered his phone on the floor in a gloomy temper. "I hate you Ameera! You have broken my heart and trust.

"Why would you do that? He clamor holding me by the shoulder. "speak up he hollered again.

I instantly became frightened at his sudden reaction, he has turned a living nightmare. His looks alone is horrific.

I didn't do anything, I don't know what this is all about. Believe me i said in a crying voice.

"Let go of her zayyad! What's wrong with you? Why can't you speak to her calmly.

"Zaid do...not... say.... a.....word, he voiced viciously with gritted teeth, just then i grabbed the phone on zaid's hand only to see myself with El-ameen sitting on a carpet chortling like never before! Who snapped this? I mused perplexed before making my mind to explain everything to him.

"Yaya zayyad" it isn't what it looks. I promise i knew "know beans about" I'm just being framed. honestly, I don't know anything about the three first pictures but this...

You know him? Don't you? He cut me off.

Yes but....

Don't tell me that. Only if i knew you were gonna go after a dozen of men, i wouldn't have wasted my time on you. You don't worth my love as you don't portray what you appear to be. just look at yourself! Coming from a party he spat giving me a dirty sneer.

His words hurt someone's feelings, it's annoying me and i could loose it any moment. In spite my silence, i won't have anyone question my morals.   "I said i didn't do that but if you believe what you saw, then i won't convince you to believing my words ever again.

Just look at what she said "zaid" which means she doesn't even care. "The Ameera i knew wasn't like this, her mindset has being changed, going after others men tend to expose her. I really don't blame you.

"Don't question my honor zayyad!! I warned wrathful.

Well, I'm not questioning it, I'm denying it existence he said behaving as if detached.

I didn't realize when i slapped him hard on his cheek in grill.

You slapped me?

"stop it Ameera came zaid's voice.

Yes i did slap you and won't hesitate to hit you hard, that your face will be disfigured if you ever question my morals. Now think whatever you want, i don't have any regrets because I'm done with you and if i may beseech, you two should leave right this moment. It isn't your territory but before then, you zayyad will leave to regret this day. Now go i hollered sternly to which i could see great astonishment on their faces.

Listen to her zayyad when she speaks the truth. The world is cold. That's why God made her heart so warm. When things get tough don't turn on her: Turn on her and pacify. She's so strong because she's your backbone. Don't try to break her, build her and you'll be a better man for it. She has gone through every hardship because of you but you locket your heart to not hear her out... It's really unlikely of you. Think about it.

Don't tell anything about Ameera ever again, I don't wanna here, she isn't worth loving. "She slapped me for what she did wrong.  I hate her. he scoffed and zoomed off.

**
Immediately after the cheesy falling out, Aisha whom was watching everything from the balcony let out a malevolent snigger saying "My arrow has hit the target once again perfectly amyrah, it's about time you realize I'm not worthy of a sister, she concluded steadfastly moving into the house.

I slumped on the couch with the photos on my shaky hands as tears trembled down my cheeks. Who must have done this and why? Why would zayyad believe what he saw! Why must he question my ethics, he has broken me and i won't forgive him for that i concluded wiping the tears off my face because it's about time i face the world head high and keep aside my whist.

"Sis!   You're back came Aisha's voice moving towards me in felicity.

Yes. Em-m how was the house when i left? And where are the rest siblings i bewield to speak snugly.

They left for uncle yusuf's house...!

Oh i see, i stood to leave for my room when she said " Ameera! You're looking blue, what's wrong? Just before i could respond, she snatched the pictures from my hand.

What's this? and why are you in it? Who sent it to you? She glanced at me flustered.

Well, just as you saw, that's how i did. I don't know but zayyad brought it to me.

He did? And what happened after that? She asked curious

We broke up, i said letting out a bitter smile.

She was hush for a couple of seconds wondering who out smarted her. Who must have edited this picture and why? She mused before waking to me stroking my back and said "I'm so sorry sis, he has really irked me but, he won't get away with it. I........    ?   Her sentence was cut short when husna came into the house with a shout.

"Sis Ameera! When did you come back?

Welcome husna.   "Hyfer welcome back i speaked concisely.

Hyfer responded with a smile before turning to Aisha, seeing how confused she was made her snatched what was on her hand. "Na'uzubillah came her dua as she became cerised with hatefulness evident in her looks. "You did this "Aisha"

I didn't do that. In fact i.......

The slap she landed on her face made her sentence unwhole. As she was about to slap her again, i swiftly interposed saying   "hault it hyfer. what's your problem? Why would you do that and who told you she did it? 

Tell me? I hollered as Aisha held her cheeks in incredulity.

If she isn't the person then, who did it? She's Aisha after all, definitely she's coming or has come up with a new game plan. She's playing the innocent card with you...

"No hyfer, zato zunubi koda ya zamo gaskia (To suspect, doubt or assume someone did what he knew or know nothing about is a grave sin... Or suspicion is a sin even if it's the truth) To which you know, I don't have to remind you that, just then i decided to
explain all that happened between myself and zayyad before finally putting away all what he said.

Hyfer began to throw some slur speeches to him to which she directed some to aisha, and with no regrets she pointed at her saying "your powers will soon clash"

I really don't understand anything right now so I left for my room hungry as a hog and with no desire for anything.  

"husna you should go to the room. She said grimly before peeling towards aisha whom was left bewieldered.  Haply she never weened she could do that.

This is just a little from all the torment you put us through. If you don't desist loving zayyad, Wallahi Tallahi he will be the pale rider of you, if you ween what i said, then go on and we shall see she concluded and left.

As for aisha, she trailed her with an evil eye---skeptical about her. However, she saw great abyss in her eyes. Still holding her cheek she whispered "I will soon come for you but before then, lemme be done with your sistren. She let out a sinister smile. (you know aisha won't give up... Anyways we shall see)

I budged into my room tamed and dilute from what happened earlier.   "So this is what falling out is? This is what heart break means? Just then another set of tears well up inspite saying I'm gonna act "strong as an ox" i couldn't as my boldness was just a fib.   I slouched to the change room to see if i can bewield any comfy dress. But to tell you my heart is permanently slouch and annihilated is an understatement.

A soft knock came on the door and before i could respond, i saw hyfer apparently standing holding a mini tray consisting of a mug of tea and a short bread biscuit. She peeled and sat on the bed placing the tray she came with on a side drawer.

"You're here was all i could manage to say.

Yes sis, i brought you something to eat, i know you haven't had anything since lunch.

With a deke smile i said "i am not hungry hyfer, you should take it away. Thanks.

I won't have you say that, now open Your mouth OR i force you into eating unwillingly.   It was a surprise to see the calm and liberal hyfer, who had always seemed so quiet, cheesed off so seriously.

Are you gonna eat or not? Came her voice again sternly.

Yes, i nodded having a bite of the biscuits.

He made a ludicrous attempt to run away from you and with that, you shouldn't let his idiotic accusations and falsehood control your heart... What had not been ordained to happen will or can never happen regardless. So just brush his thoughts away and pretend it never happened. She spoke softly, stroking my hair.

She's really thoughtful i mused. A girl of her age speak this way, wow.  Thanks hyfer i love you.

She smiled before leaving not forgetting the tray though.

I went with her advice to which i found peace and didn't know when i dozed off.
