Chapter 27

Aadils POV

Looking at safeeya, I truly feel pain because she has been unable to say a thing for a while now. The only thing she does is sigh and nod when you speak to her.

In her eyes, it holds a whole lot of pain. When she looks at you, you will feel pain and you can definitely tell that she is hurting. Hurting beyond words.

"I don't understand what to do, she has refused to speak. And it's been one month Now Ammie"I complained to my mother as she massaged my head.

"Give her time Aadil, she needs time" my mother said.

" Mum, I have given her all the time she needs, I've tried. I need her to talk because I want to take her back home to her family. They must be missing her"I muttered.

" Then just let her be, she will talk" my mother said.

"okay" I muttered.

" Trust me, she will talk. She just needs time"my mum whispered.

Just like an Automated engine, I slept of on my mother's lap. But she woke me up and made me go upstairs to my room to sleep, which I did.

I felt a pang of relief as I laid my head on my pillow and shut my eyes, it felt as though all my worries were placed at the door step of my door which i walked in.

That night I slept like a baby, whose mother had fed milk to it's content.

****

On getting up from the bed, I took my bath and prayed subh (Obligatory prayer). I Got dressed into a black Jeans trouser and a plain black T-shirt.

The only thought on my mind was safeeya, so I strolled over to her room, where I found Her conversing with Rahmat, My little sister.

They looked so cute together, rahmat was busy showing her some pics on her phone while she smiled as she watched them.

I didn't say a thing, I kept on looking at her as she moved her lips slowly as she speaks, she was indeed beautiful and her Accent was nice and I liked it.

" Ladies" I Yelled which startled them "Chipmunk what are you showing to her?"

"Good morning Aadil" They said in unison.

"some pictures on IG, Abayas (After dressing). She said she likes my Abaya so I decided to show her some" Rahmat said showing me her phone.

" They are Cute" I muttered.

" How are you today, safeeya?"I asked.

" I am Fine" she said, her F sounded like a P, but it was still An Amazing Accent and i loved it.

"Alhamdudilah (Glory be to God) then, Aren't you tired of seating here. Let's Go for a ride"I said to her and she nodded.

"Aadil, you both should Go. I have a book Club meeting later with my friends" Rahmat said.

"Okay"

" Safeeya, let me get you a dress so that you can be able to go with him" she said to safeeya who smiled in return.

"I'll be right back" rahmat Got up and left.

"Don't mind her, she can be a bit clingy" I said, though I knew my sister very well. She isn't clingy at all, as a matter of fact, she doesn't relate with people. So she must like Safeeya allot to talk to her.

"I like her" safeeya mumbled and i smiled.

" Safeeya you'll have to chose the one you'll wear" rahmat yelled, walking in, in a pace.

" Aadil go outside, she wants to change" rahmat said,

" Okay" I muttered while smiling at safeeya who just stared at me blankly. She doesn't really smile, she only stares at someone and nods, it is as if she is severely hurting over something,

I was presently standing outside the door and waiting for them, it felt like Eternity But finally they were out.

"Aadil how does she look?" Rahmat said.

" She looks Great"

she was wearing a black palazzo trouser and a pink Chiffon top which was tucked in, a black scarf on her head did the finishing touches. She was looking beautiful.

"Okay You guys should Go, my friends will be coming over soon and I have to take care of them" rahmat said,

" Today is your turn?" I asked and she nods.

" What book are you guys reading today?" I asked.

" The pelican Brief by John grisham"she said.

"oh wow, I've read that. The mysterious murderer" I said.

"Yes, Now Go!, Before Ashley comes over here and ruins Things because of you" Rahmat said and i Chuckled.

Safeeya and I went out together, I drove us to Alpacas where we had Breakfast and decided to hit the road again, we then went to Jimmies kitchen, where we had Brunch, We Ate Samosas.

It was a nice day, Though safeeya and i conversed less, because she didn't say a thing to me at all. I wanted her to speak, I was of the thought that bringing her out would make her talk.

I decided Going back home, but a call from my Friends made me have a change of plans, so i decided to head to them. They decided that we meet in The paradise resort, which is one of the most classiest resort in The town.

I headed there with safeeya who seemed lost in her thoughts throughout our drive, she either sighs or closes her eyes. She seemed Disturbed.

"Let's Go in" I said to her as we Arrived at the resort.

"Ok" she muttered, we walked into the resort where Aaban and my other friends were seated and chatting.

"Hey Guys" I yelled.

"Aadilllllllllll" they seemed very happy to see me, I sat next to Aaban alongside safeeya whom Aaban stared at, as though he was suprissed to see her.

"Safeeya, how are you?" Aaban asked her.

"I am good"she responded shyly, bowing her head to the ground, as she fiddled with her fingers.

"Usman, how are you?" I shook Usman who stared so shamelessly at safeeya.

" I Am good, who is the chick?" Usman whispered.

"My Friend"I responded warningly.

" Hey lady, I'm Usman" he said.

" HI"she simply said.

" What's your name?"my friend, Rowley, asked, well not entirely my friend, just a person I happen to know.

" Safeeya" she muttered.

"Guys let her be, I just brought her here because y'all were insisting we meet" I said.

"Common Aadil" Usman punched my arm lightly, "safeeya, You are A  Nigerian right?"Usman asked.

" Yes"she responded.

" Wow, me too!"he said.

"Oh" she muttered, I could tell that she didn't like this conversation one bit.

"Where in Nigeria are you from?"He asked.

"Kaduna" she responded,

"Wow, I've been there once" he said.

"Oh" she muttered again.

"Guys I'm starving, let's make an order" Aaban finally spoke.

"Yes, I'm also hungry! " Rowley said.

" Waiter!" screamed Usman, and a waiter ran over to us.

"Yes sir" The waiter curtsied.

"Can we have the menu?" Aaban asked.

"Sure sir, There it is on your table" the waiter pointed at the paper that laid on our table, which was picked up by Rowley in a pace.

"I'll have, The peppered chicken" Rowley said.

"Okay sir" the waiter made a note as Rowley said, Rowley passed the menu over to Usman who ordered for dumplings, while Aaban ordered for Mac and cheese.

"Take safeeya, order!" I handed the menu over to her.

"No, I am full" she whispered.

"At least just order A snack" Aaban said.

"Take" she took the menu reluctantly from my hand and stared at it as though it was fire, her eyes twitched in confusion.

"Shawa...shawaa... " she shutterd, Making Rowley chuckle at her mistake.

"Let me see that" I asked and she handed me the menu.

" She meant shawarma" I said, I gave Rowley a warning glare and he instantly understood.

In a jiff, our orders were brought to us and we all ate, Except Safeeya, who stared blankly at her snack.

"Won't you ear?" I asked.

"No, I'll wait for you outside" she got up before I could even stop her, she left through the exit.

"What's up with her?" Rowley asked.

"See you some other time guys, i gotta go" I said.
