Meenah's POV

"And why is he coming over to our house? What is going on between you two? Meenah don't you dare hide things from me?" Neenah roared angrily.

"Oh my dear lil sister, he's just coming to return my phone and also to collect his. And there's nothing going on between us. We don't even know each other's name."

"But he is cute, you should see him, you will be in daze." I added smirking.

"Oh shut up, cuteness doesn't define ones character."

"Okay, what ever. For all I know I definitely won't date an ugly guy." I smirked.

My stomach growls loudly reminding me of the last time since I ate breakfast.

"I'm extremely hungry" I half yelled from the staircase.

"Then go and eat something" Neenah replied turning through the hallway that leads to our room.

I retreated back to the kitchen to get something edible. I opened the cupboards and it was empty.

"That's strange, there's always some junk food kept in the cupboards" I mumbled to myself .

I went to the fridge and it was also almost empty. The chocolates,cakes,ice cream,yogurts, all were missing.

"We definitely need to go shopping soon."

I took some biscuit and left to our room. Mum and dad aren't home yet.

>•<•>•<•>•<•>

I opened the door to a smiling handsome guy, Standing in front of the door frame with a wide grin on his face, wearing fresh set of clothes.

"Oh hi" waving at him while ogling unshamefully.

"Assalama alaikum,can I come in?" He asked with raised brows.

"Wa alaikumussalam, yeah sure please come in" I moved aside to create some space for his broad structure to get in.

He got inside and went straight to the couch and sat down.

I was feeling kind of strange since I never had a male friend into our living room.

I scurried to our room to get his phone when I bumped into Neenah.

"Mom just called to let us know they may come home late tonight. Who was at the door?" Neenah said looking at me weirdly.

"Oh yeah I already knew they would come home late tonight. The cute guy we exchanged phones with came to return my phone." I explained in one breath.

I plugged his phone some minutes ago with my charger in our room. For some strange reason, I felt I should charge the phone actually.

I unplugged it and skyrocketed down the stairs to find an amused looking guy staring at both Neenah and I with big brown eyes so captivating Maa sha Allah.

"Em..em..hmm are you twins? He asked warily. His lips slightly opened dew to his amusement of us being twins.

We actually get that a lot. Like when we go shopping and the salesperson keep gawking at us or when we follow mama to a friend's house and the keep behaving awkwardly towards us as if we were made of gold.

"Yeah! What do you think of two people, that look exactly the same and were brought into this world together by the same mother?" I said with full sarcasm dripping from my tone.

"Oh yes we are twins, don't mind my twin please she can be mean sometimes." Neenah responded hitting my shoulder trying to warn me.

Here you go, I gave him his phone and waited for mine, he gently stood up searching for my phone in his jeans pocket. Back and front pockets, there was no sign of my phone in either parts of his pockets.

I was ogling at the handsome cute guy in front of me. He's curly shiny hair, he's complexion was not too dark , and also not fair. His eyes were dark chocolate and long black lashes hanging. He was wearing a black rimmed glasses, covered his eyes. His brows looks like they were trimmed, he's nose very long and pointy. His beard not too visible.

I kept ogling until I felt a smack on my back, realization hit me when I noticed both my sister and the handsome guy I was ogling, looking at me confusingly.

"Oh thank you" I collected my phone and blushed.

"By the way what are your names beautiful ladies?" He asked. Making the question straight at me.

"Haneenah and Ameenah" Neenah said while pointing at us.

"Nice to meet you both. We study at the same school but actually I'm an ex student, I graduated last year." He said, bending down to wear his sneakers.

"Nice to meet you too Mr.?" I chimed happily wanting to know his name so badly.

"My names are Adil Abdullahi Ishaq." He smiled.

His smile so beautiful, innocent and mesmerizing. If he keeps on smiling like this I will fall so deeply for him. Something I always didn't recognize, something I fail to initiate, the secret I always hide in my heart.

Now just a simple smile from a stranger I accidentally bumped into today Is making my heart in a roller coaster ride. The feeling to pure and special, insanely special.

"Oh no..no..no Meenah don't fall for this cute handsome Adil guy, please." I mentally murmured to myself.

I escorted him to his car parked outside the house compound. He was saying something about phone numbers, but I had falling into his deep gaze, into his deep brown eyes. We kept looking into each other's eyes for like a minute.

"Urghh...I'm so sorry..I..em..I  should be leaving." He stammered.

He left and I went back inside. Neenah cooking for us. Did I ever mention my twin was a good cook. She loves cooking. She's always the complete opposite of me.

We eat in silence until Neenah broke the silence.

"We are broke Meenah!!
The store is almost empty!!
And Dad is paying off debt to people he shouldn't be"

"This is life, all we had few weeks ago is gone due to a betrayal of our own, our blood."

Sometimes we have to accept the consequences of our own actions, had Abba have read those paper before signing then this all wouldn't have cropped in. But what Allah has willed is inevitable.

"We will overcome this Neenah. we will fight for our rights. We have to. And for this to happen we have to be strong. Poverty will not break us apart. We aren't the first family to experience such calamity. But we would probably be the first to overcome it with Strong willed minds and happiness."

We have to overcome this...
