Layla's Pov

"I knocked on the door thrice and the door creaked ajar for my eyes to meet a handsome guy's ones Astaghfirullah!

"Hey who are you looking for? "He asked with his thick british accent" Uhm I'm looking for Hajiya Falmata am I in the right place? "I asked"

Yeah you can come in let me go and inform her that you're here but please what's your name?

Uhm tell her the Layla is here" Okay.

"Yaya someone is here she said that she's looking for you get name is Layla "I heard him speak.

"Layla? Could it be her? Let me go and see "She wrapped her veil and walked out of the kitchen"

Layla! "She squealed like a two year old" Anty Falty! "I said equally happy" What a pleasant surprise! What brought you to London?.

"Uhm I came here with my husband "I gave her a tight lipped smile" Husband?! Layla when did you get married? "She asked shocked.

Anty it's a long story let me just have a cup of water "I said" No you look tired so you should have a bath and you'll wear Falisha's(her daughter that is a week older than me) clothes then you can tell me all that happened.

Speaking of Falisha where is she? "I asked" She went out with her friends I'm sure she'll be happy to see you Fadoul! Fadoul! "She shouted and the handsome guy who's name is Fadoul came.

"Meet Layla she's my late elder sister's daughter and Layla meet Fadoul he is my husband's younger brother he lives here with us "She introduced.

Hi "I waved" Hey "He waved back. Fadoul take her to Falisha's room "She smiled and jogged back to the kitchen.

Here's the room "He pointed at a door" Thanks "I muttered and walked in only to be met with the most beautiful girl's room I've ever seen in my whole 23 years of life!. I saw a curtain which is like a barrier used to separate the room from the walk-in closet.The room is all grey and white I looked around for the bathroom but didn't find one so I walked into the closet and I saw a door and luckily,it is the bathroom.

"I took my bath and wrapped my body with a towel I saw a sticky note on the door and it says pick anything you want to wear~Faltyy

I picked an Abaya and walked out I prayed then I walked downstairs with my hijab on.

"Anty Inawuni "I greeted" Lafiya kalau Layla let's eat "She offered and I helped myself with yummy Yam balls and pepper chicken with a cup of lemon juice.

"So what happened? "She asked and I told her everything that happened from when I was told about the alliance,my memory loss but I didn't tell her about the party,his threats,rules and Tasha.

"Innalillahi wainnailahi raji'un Allah sarki Laylana but is he treating you well? "She asked" Yeah very well "I lied" I hope you're staying for like two to three days koh? "She asked and I nodded.

But did you ask him? "She asked"Ohh shit! I forgot to ask him!.

"Yyes I have "I lied again"Again! Again!

"After dinner,I sat in the well furnished living room watching a TV show with Anty and Fadoul"Her husband is out of town and Falisha is her only child

"Laylaaa! "I heard my name being shouted and I turned to see a very happy Falisha running towards me" Can't breath "I chuckled as we parted from the bone crushing hug"

When did you come?! "She asked" A while ago "I smiled" I hope you're staying here for at least two days "She asked with hope" Yupp! "I popped the 'P'.

"Layla did you bring your clothes with you? "Anty Falmata asked" Uhm Actually I wasn't planning on coming here for a sleep over but when I came I wanted to  so I didn't enter then I called him and asked if I can sleep over and he said yes then I remembered I didn't bring my clothes I was about to go back but didn't see a cab so I just entered. "I lied and it looks like they all believe me except Fadoul.

Who? "Falisha asked" Myhusband "I said" Ehhhhh?!! Your what?! So you got married and you didn't even tell us what a good cousin you are!

Falisha am sorry it happened so fast I'm sorry "I pouted" I can't resist that cute face so let's go. "We walked to her room gisting and all like teenagers.

"She entered into the bathroom so I used the chance to tell Aaban.

Me:H.hhello?

Aaban:Hello?!

Me:Uhmm  Aaban it's me Layla

Aaban:Wrong number!

Me:It's me Layla your wife!

Aaban:Huh?  What do you want? I'm sure you're enjoying yourself with your boyfriend that you were cheating with

Me: Please I came to my Aunt's place and she wants me to stay over for three days please?

Aaban:I don't believe you but Tasha here said I should allow you so we can have sometime alone but if you dare exceed those three days you'll regret it!

Me:Okay.Thank you

Aaban:Thank my love here not me I pray you die over there!

"What type of thing is this? Why me?! "I cried" Sorry "I heard a voice say and I turned to see Fadoul.

Thank you "I smiled wiping my tears" Can we speak? "He asked and I nodded and we walked to the upstairs living room.

I'm not trying to invade your privacy but why did you lie? "He asked softly

He's not as hot and handsome as Aaban tho "I thought"

"I didn't lie "I argued" You're lying again.

Look please leave me alone what's your business with me? Yes I lied what's your business you know I won't just lie like that "I rolled my eyes"

I'm sorry but you know I heard your conversation with your husband I went to call Falisha "He said"

You eavesdropped! Oh Allah!.

"Sorry "He smiled" I know you're facing problems with your husband and you don't want any one to know but I assure you that if you're ready to speak up then I'm always there "He said about to leave"

You really want to know? "I asked" Can I trust you? "I asked again and he nodded with a smile he brought out a small jotter and he signed and he gave me to sign too"How funny!

"I told him everything including everything I excluded from Anty Falmata and he really pitied me"

"Can we be friends? "He smiled and I nodded with a small smile" Soooo can I get to know you? "He asked" Sure.

"My Name is Layla Mustapha, I'm twenty three years.I'm from Katsina state and I'm fulani I have four siblings Ya Fareeha,Ya Kameela,Yaya Fahad and Zainab my mom is late and I live with my dad, grandmother and siblings.

"May her soul rest in peace "He prayed and I whispered and Ameen" Can I get to know you? "I asked"

"Okayyy My name is Fadoul Ibrahim,I am thirty two years I'm from Borno state Shuwa Arab.I have only one sibling and that is Yaya Muhammad Falisha's dad he's forty he got married very early because of some circumstances I don't know about "He shrugged and I smiled"They must be a very good family *Smiles* I wish I have a happy family too

"Layla! I've been looking for you "Falisha rushed in" Sorry good night Fadoul "I smiled and we left"

"I see that you're good friends with Baffa Fadoul you're really special I must say cause he isn't really free with anyone and but he's friendly with only the people he knows and did he show you his girl friend? She's a Somalian and she is very beautiful! "She smiled"

Ah! Somalians are really beautiful sha he's really lucky "I smiled"
