Farrah was clad in a grey gown which Mamitah gave her,they just finished praying and now they are currently having dinner that is after snapping pictures with the family in every corner of the house she finds beautiful..

Well that is why she so much love their attitude because they are so free with her that she can voice out her dear wish of snapping pictures with them in their wonderful house..

The dining table was silent and you could only hear the sound of spoons,Farrah doesn't even know the names of the food,it is surely not Nigerian food,maybe is some Italian recipe well what ever is tastes good and looks good and that is all that matters to her..

They finished their dinner and they all sat in the parlor watching tv..

"So Farrah how did you end up here?":Mubin's dad asked..

"We went to visit my dad in jail then on out way back Mamitah called saying that the driver should urgently bring Mubin back then after coming I went to see his grandma and I lost track of time":Farrah tried to summarize..

"Farrah you forgot something":Mubin said with a smirk..

"No I said everything":Farrah replied..

"You didn't tell him about the dogs incident":he said laughing and Mamitah joined him..

What a family!!

"So Farrah said that she have to go despite knowing the situation of the state and she went out at the time Prince and King are released and they followed her":Mamitah explained and daddy starts laughing also..

Prince and King wow!

"Sorry about that Farrah":he said after sobering up..

"I took Mubin there thinking that maybe my dad will make him agree to the operation since it was a part of my work":she said in a serious tone..

"Well I guess he won't ever agree":Daddy said smiling sadly..

"Mubin go and show Farrah the pool side":Mamitah chirped in smiling probably trying to loosen up the serious mood..

"Okay":he said standing up and Farrah followed him goofily smiling..

"And Far no pictures":Mubin said rudely..

She eyed him and continued following him..

"I just eyed you":she said looking at her phone..

They reached the garden and O O O it was so beautiful and gracious..

They sat down on the comfortable chairs and Farrah smiled at the view,the most astonishing thing is the light,they way it has shone the flowers was really magical to her and she loved every freaking bit of it..

"Love"

Farrah turned around to look at Mubin as he uttered that word,it was so unexpected to her,she was enjoying the view of many flowers around that she nearly forgot that he is right beside her until he uttered that word..

"What is love Far?":he asked her sensing that she didn't understand what was going on his mind..

Well who would know?

She let out a breath as she scrutinize his face which held a stoic expression..

She doesn't know why but she tends to notice every detail about him,how he smile to the way he tries to hide his smile,and Oh my God the way he looks so cute when he is annoyed,the way he pout without knowing and the list go on endlessly..

She even notice the way his eyebrows crunch when he is curious just like the it was now..

She cleared her throat taking her eyes off him..

"Love is unpredictable Mubi,it can't be defined but be described because it is something that cannot be explained but felt,love is such a wonderful feeling Mubi,you will find yourself smiling immediately after meeting that person or even thinking of that person,you will only want that person to be happy and you will be there through it all,supporting that person and never getting tired,it has its ups and downs,insecurities and little fights but overall it is a great feeling especially the ones that are true and lasts forever":She found herself talking without a stop till she finished..

Mubin understood everything clearly and after she finished he wondered weather she is the same crazy Dr Farrah he know because by Allah she talked with so much wisdom that it left him speechless..

"How do you know you are in love?":he asked yet another question making her heart shook at the thought of love..

"When you notice every single detail about someone,they way they speak,what annoys them,what angers them,what makes them happy,how they smile when they are elated,how their eyes twinkle when they see something they like,every single detail about that person":she said smiling and that was when she realized that she also notice every detail about him..

Well she is not in love with him..

She convinced herself and smiled looking at him..

"Have you ever got the opportunity to feel it?":he asked..

"I mean love":he clarified even though she understood since before he clarified..

Farrah smiled at the memory which she kept in her heart,the safest place of her heart where even she herself will take care of it forever because it taught her many lessons..

"Yes":She replied with a sad smile..

"It was magical and great,knowing that I will wake up yo someone's good morning messages,the little I love you which makes my heart glamour with happiness And giddiness,that sweet feeling is worth fighting for":she said with a sigh.

"His name is Sahil"

"You know it felt so great Mubi, I was so happy at that time because he made me feel special,he gave the kind of attention I have always needed,my dad you know doesn't stay so he is out of the pictures and my mom was so busy with earning money to put something on out plate,and to take of our daily expenses that she rarely have time for me,it kept going on like that, I didn't have anyone to talk to,tell my problems to,I didn't have many friends because all of them end up abusing my dad and his deeds when I share it with them and it makes me sad, I became a person who will confine her sadness and tears with a smile,but him,he gave me all the attention I needed,he never got tired of listening to me and that was why I loved him so much"

"Way more than I should"

It has been years since she talked about it and now she feels everything creeping back to her and she felt like she needed to say it out,she didn't talk about it with anyone ever since it happened but today she want to get it off her chest and she knows that she can trust Mubin with her life..

"If you loved him so much then why did you leave him":Mubin asked knowing that she is single..

Mubin could feel something burning in his heart when she talked about her love with so much fondness and affection and he didn't like the feeling at all..

"My best-friend Hayfah whom I met when I went to Sudan for the first time is also a Nigerian and was also there for the first time with her aunt,we studied the same course and we got along,I tell her everything like every single thing,she knows everything about me and vice versa,she used to admire our relationship with Sahil so much and she will solve all our fights when we have an argument,when he wants to surprise me then they will plan it together,everything was going just fine when Sahil said that he is sending his parents to my mom and at that time I was in my third year,so I told him to wait till am back since I was in school at that time,he stopped sending messages,he stopped calling and whenever I have a problem then he will be like "Not again",when I complain he will say that he is busy,he stopped calling and loving me like he does"

"One breezy evening we were sitting with Hayfah as I complain about Sahil's change of behavior,she consoled me like she always does then made her way to the kitchen to get water for me because I have been crying and she thinks I will cool down after taking a glass of water,a message beeped on her phone and I checked..

"Baby am waiting for you,love you"

That was the message,I was surprised because she never told me that she was in a relationship and we normally don't hide anything from each other and then I remembered that in the past few days I wasn't being myself so maybe she was giving me space..

I decided to keep quite and play dump until she decides to tell me she came back and picked her phone saw the message and replied then hurried to her room and minutes later she came out dressed beautifully,she was really so beautiful,an origin of Kaduna and her taste in dressing is just so cool so she always looks beautiful when she dress up..

"I am going to school to work on our presentation,my group mates said we should meet them in the school's lounge":she said smiling and I waved her off..

She wasn't lying from the looks of it and why would she lie to me afterall..

I was bored of staying indoors for days then I thought that I shouldn't let my emotions control me so I decided to go out for some fresh air and then stop at my favorite restaurant to take a sip of my favorite lemonade and take some pizza home so that we can have a girly talk when she is back eating our pizza as we talk about our lives in particular..

I finished my walk and it felt so great after that I dropped by at the restaurant and sat down then ordered for my chilled lemonade as I scroll my social media accounts to keep me entertained for the mean time,some people came in and sat down and my back was facing them..

"Do you know how much I missed you":The lady said..

"I missed you more":he replied..

My heart beat accelerated because even in my darkest dream I will remember this two voices,my best-fried and boyfriend voice,Sahil and Hayfah..

They continued talking like normal couples do until when my name popped in..

"Farrah is doing fine,she was crying some moments ago,her problems are just way too much,from her dad to her mom,to her step brothers to her step sisters and step mothers,every day there must be a problem am fed up with all these":Hayfah said huffing out air..

"That was the real reason why I got tired of our relationship,she is way too problematic"

"And I realized that it was a little infatuation and pity I have towards her":Sahil said..

Tears filled the brim of my eyes but I stopped them from falling atleast not now,I can cry an ocean of tears but surely not this moment..

My best friend and boyfriend are in a relationship!!

"I love you and only you,she is not worth my time you know I was stupid back then,like we are not even of the same class":he stated casually..

"Well cheers to knowing that she is a piece of trash and we can use her anyhow,you can continue ignoring her and we will continue our love,she won't concentrate on her studies and I will steal the first class from her":Hayfah said laughing evilly..

I thought I knew her!!

"Wait isn't this Farrah":Hayfah said and I turned around smiling a little..

Well I put so much effort on it..

"Thank you guys for making me realize where I truly belong":I said smiling as I carried my bag and paid my bill..

"Oh may your love blossom":I said smiling at them as I walked out..

I hope they never forget that sad smile"

Tears have already filled her eyes,she was shading it already..

Mubin's mouth was hang open that when Farrah looked at him she couldn't resist laughing despite being in pain..

"Mubi close your mouth":she said smiling..

"What are you?":he asked..

"Iron lady":he said and she smiled..

"How could you leave without a word?":he asked..

"I talked back after days of settling down and having peace with myself Mubi,one thing I learned about talking back is you shouldn't do it when you are angry,do it after calming down then it will hit differently,I talked back to them and they all felt it but that didn't make me satisfied because it was so hard to live normally again,the guy I loved betrayed me and that too with the lady I trusted so much"

"Burdening people with your problems is surely not the solution to it so I learnt to keep my mouth shut and also never give close friendship a chance and love"

She scoffed as she laughed..

"No chance"

"It was hard,so hard that I even had a trauma the problems were too much,I was used to their presence and every single thing reminds me of them and the pain they have inflicted in me,I even ran out of tears at that time because of the way I cry everyday,I got used to loneliness and my own company but later on all it did was make me stronger that I was":she said smiling..

"Far you have gone through alot,and those two what they did to you was so awful that it is so disgusting you know it really a great feeling to know that some one trusts you but breaking that trust makes you a stupid person"

"But you know getting hurt makes is learn our lesson and know more about the things we didn't know":he said smiling..

Perhaps getting hurt makes us stronger but we choose..
