I know im a good girl😇

"Layla do you want to go back to university?" Mama asked.

"Uhm yes" She answered

"What level were you in back at Nigeria? And what were you studying?" She asked

"200 level andI was studying Law"

"It's okay my child.I will speak to Aaban for you and you'll start with the freshers" She said

"Layla you should start packing were moving to the house in two days time and our clothes have arrived they've been taken to the new house" Aaban said.

"Okay" Layla replied

"Aaban I want to speak to you regarding Layla's studies.Once you've settled down in your new house, you'll get her an admission to join the university"

"Okay mama" He smiled,a very fake and dangerous one.

"I will have to go and finish packing my flight is in three hours" Mama rushed to her room.

"Have you prayed Zuhr?" Layla asked out of the blue

She has to start guiding him to the right path before it's too late!

"No I haven't what's your problem? First you convinced my mom so you can enter the university and now you're posing as my mom? Stay in your limits"

"If you don't go and pray then wallahi I'll tell mama you know me" She threatened.

"I'll make you pay for this!" He left for his room.

°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°

Layla followed Aaban to his room and hid behind the couch watching him pray even though Aaban saw her,he ignored her and spread the prayer mat to pray.

The word felt so foreign 'Pray'

After he said his taslim,he took out the holy Qur'an and began to recite Suratul-Ankabut

He reached the twenty fifth verse and his voice began to crack.

Is he crying? Layla thought.

"Aaban?" She came out of her hiding spot.

"Hey, what's wrong?" She asked

"It's nothing learn to mind your business" He turned around and wiped his tears.

"Go on" She smiled.

He continued the recitation and reached a point where his voice cracked again and they continued the recitation together with Layla.

"Thanks" He said. "It's okay" She smiled and left the room.

This is just the starting Mr Muhammad I promised myself and your mother to change you for the better

Layla's Pov

I sauntered into the kitchen to prepare lunch.

I prepared Chinese rice and roasted chicken with red velvet cake for dessert and pineapple and coconut juice

(A/N):Y'all should try this! Coconut and Pineapple juice is soooo great

I kept the warmers and the jug on the dining table

I took a warm bath and dressed up in a black skirt and a long sleeved shirt with a turban

"Mama lunch is ready" I sauntered into her room as she closed the zip of her suitcase

"Layla I heard and saw everything that happened between you and Aaban you're making progress and I know about Aaban's girlfriend please don't let her come between you two whenever she tries to disrespect you don't allow her okay?"

"InshaAllah mama" I smiled picking up her suitcase and we left for the dining.

I dropped her suitcase on the carpet and called Aaban.

"Aaban? Lunch is ready" I announced.

"I'm coming" He answered.

Aaban came into the living room and we had lunch together.

Mama wore her hijab before signalling for Aaban to go.

"Layla this may be the last time we will meet till you come to Nigeria please take care of my son and guide him to the right path please" She said.

"InshaAllah mama" I said and helped her with her suitcase Aaban came out and locked the house and we drove off to the airport

We arrived at Heathrow Airport and headed to the VIP departure

"The passengers of flight number 247 British Airways,London to Abuja should head to the boarding gate.Have a safe and comfortable journey"

"Mama Allah ya tsare" I prayed my eyes already watery because being nice ends today for sure!

We said our goodbyes and she headed towards the boarding gate.

Third person's Pov

"Have you started packing your clothes?" Layla asked.

"Shoot! I forgot that I had to pack I'll do that later" He said

"Can I help?" She asked

"Don't worry you have yours too" Aaban said

"I will do mine after I finish yours"

"Okay" He shrugged.

"Thank you" She smiled.

"She's cute" He muttered under his breath

They arrived home and changed into comfortable clothes before they started packing

"You have many clothes here and some are waiting in the new house" She rolled her eyes.

"Your clothes too are much and by the way you said that you can do it so here you go"

"You're so mean I will just go and do mine you can do yours yourself!" She feigned hurt.

"Come back here i can't do all this you know"

"You're on your own call your girlfriend to do it for you" She said intentionally.

"You knowww if she was here,she wouldn't have even let me touch a thing" He bragged.

"Can you explain why you are always the one who cooks for the both you and you arranged her clothes in the guestroom when she came"

"Mind your business Lulu" He said.

"Wait what?! I'm not a cat what's Lulu?"

"I've always wanted to call you that cause you remind me of a cat heck! You act like one"

"You're so dead Mr man! You're allowed to call me any other name but not Lulu"

"Sorry Lulu" He laughed and she smiled.

She quickly picked up a pillow and threw it his way.

"You're so dead!" He picked up another pillow and threw it to her but luckily,she dodged and they ended up having a pillow fight"

She was folding the last shirt when Tasha called and he was in the bathroom

She didn't want to pick it but it kept ringing so she had no choice.

"Hello baby! I missed you soooooo much! How's London? I hope you're not getting close to that bitch" She said

"You're speaking to that bitch listen to me Tasha or whatever your name is don't you dare insult me again! And as for my husband, he's in the bathroom and I'm arranging his clothes bye!"

"What the hell!? Where is my baby? Call him now! What are you doing with his phone?"

"When you two meet you can ask him" Layla shrugged.

"You will regret this Layla!"

"Lulu,are you still in my room?" Aaban asked from the bathroom.

"What's wrong?" Layla asked

"Did anyone call me?" He asked

"Yeah but it's not important" She smirked.

"How did you know it's not important?" He asked sauntering out of the bathroom in a black shirt and a sweat pants.

"Because it's not"

They prayed Asr together and read the holy Qur'an.

"Don't think because I talk to you that makes us friends no! We're back to normal" He announced.

"That's what you think but I must guide you to the right path before I leave your life" She said under her breath.

"Did you say anything?" He asked.

"No bye" She left the room.

"Lulu come here what did you say?" He asked.

"I didn't say anything!"

"Don't raise your voice at me.Calling you Lulu is just to annoy you and talking to you,hm it's because you packed my clothes for me and you're in my room!"

"I never want us to be friends" She rolled her eyes.

"And who gave you the right to call Tasha unimportant?" He asked dangerously looking up from his phone.

"Because she is! Why do you even need her? The girl clearly doesn't love you she's just after your money"

"That's who you are! You went ahead and told everyone that you love me little did they know that you're after my money"

His words pierced through her heart.Why is she even bothered anyway?

She left the room to hers and closed the door.

When will this humiliation end? She thought.

She logged into her Apple music and played Sénorita by Shawn Mendes and Camila Cabello

She packed her clothes and kept the ones she'll use in the next two days with the thought of her studies if she starts this year,she will be graduating at 24 since Law is 3 years"

Hey guyssss! How was the chapter? Boring huh? Sorry! We will soon reach the sweet and heartbreaking parts.
