"Saadiya I now that I know what happened, I won't let this matter end here. His father and I are very good friends and I made a promise to his father that if I lay my hands on the person who murdered his son, I won't spare him."

"Unfortunately, it's my blood, my beloved daughter. And you also know that Islamically, if you cut a persons hand, yours will be cut too, similarly if you kill a person, you should be killed"

I look at daddy beyond shocked. Is he going to take an action against me? My life is coming to an end.

"Daddy..." Daddy didn't even look at my direction.
"I'm supposed to keep you protected as your father, and I'll always support you. I think I should just tell his father about it" He walked out ignoring my pleads and cries.

"Mommy" I cry unto her torso. "Daddy is going to end my life, he doesn't love me. I'm going to jail. I won't see you all again"

"I'm very sure that he's not going to do that. He's just saying it,you know that he loves you very much. Now stop crying, at first you were dealing with this alone but now you have me by your side. I won't let anything go wrong with you" Mommy wipes my tears with a supportive smile.
I stand up abruptly and go to Ya Hafiz's room.

"Ya Hafiz please talk to Daddy...please" I hiccup waiting for his reply but I got none instead he got occupied by his phone.

"Ya Hafiz please.." I walk closer to him. He looks at me pitifully "there's a little or nothing I can do about this issue"

"But you can at least calm him down. Please" I beg.

"I'll see what I can do" he says and dashes out of the room.

I fall to the ground and cry out loud. What's happening to me?

(())

Evening

I sigh as I toss to my left, I remember that Daddy said I should call Modupe. How will I tell her that I killed her fiance's lookalike.

"What can I do when this has been destined for me?"

Flash back

We were all sitted in Daddy's sitting room. Mommy and Daddy were sitted on the same chair while I was sitting on the carpet by Daddy's feet, Ya Hafiz was opposite me beside him Ya Hanifa sat while Ya Nana was sitted on the chair behind me.

"Get ready. I'm going to inform his parents then the police will be involved" Daddy said with a sad face.

"Daddy I don't know what happened that made you change towards me but whatever it is I want you to know that I'm still your blood, your daughter, the one you love more than everyone" I spoke

"Saadiya you just have to understand this, as a political leader, I am obliged to make sure righteousness is exercised and there's justice. What would become of me if people find out that I'm sheltering a murderer just because she's my daughter? Have you thought of that? And even if I don't think about my reputation think about the hereafter Saadiya. It's better you get your punishment here than the one you're going to face from your Lord. He is the Supreme and He knows what He has planned for you okay? Just relax and everything will be fine. I'm just delivering my duties as your father. It's not as if I don't love you Saadiya, I'm just trying to correct you. There's no need for further explanation"

I listen carefully and I know that all he's saying is the truth. I better face the world than to die in the most outrageous way.

"Growing apart doesn't change the fact that for a long time we grew side by side and our roots will always tangled. I'm glad for that" Ya Hafiz hugged me.

"You're not alone in this" this time around it was Ya Nana that hugged me.

It felt great to be loved by your family members. It's not what we have in our life but who we have in our lives that matter.

"But Daddy I want to tell you something important too." He tells me to go ahead, I nod.

"I saw someone that looks exactly like Hanif. That was what triggered me" I blurt

"What? Where did you see him?" Ya Hanifa asked.

"Are you sure of what you're saying?" Mommy spoke as if she didn't want to.

"Yes I am. My roommate, Modupe said he's her fiance. She showed me and Hamidah his picture.

"This is serious. Then I won't tell his  family yet. If you invite her over will she come?" Daddy asks with shock all over his face.

"Sure. I'll inform her. Is tomorrow okay?" Daddy said yes and dismissed all of us..

End of flashback

I hum a song as I scroll through my contact list, searching for Modupe's number. I take a deep breath when I saw it, I release it and tap on the call icon.

It rang for a while then she picked.

M- Saadiya how far? Since you went home you forgot about me.

S- Not at all (I smile). How have you been?

M- Ah we thank God oo. I miss you guys so much. You see, since you left the room felt so empty, honestly I feel like coming to join you guys since you won't come back.

S- Modupe it has just been two days since we left. Anyways I miss you truly. When I saw the letter you gave me, I felt emotional. I am really lucky to have friends like me. I used to think that you weren't an ideal friend but you've really shown your own support. Thank you( I sniff. I am already crying).

M- Oh sweetie that's nothing. I know I haven't been the good girl you've always want me to be but still I love you. And remember the friendship rule, no sorry or thank you.

I smile as I listen. After a few seconds of silence I decide to speak up.

S- Modupe?

M- Yes honey.

S- Can you come over tomorrow? Please?

I hear her heave a sigh and murmur some words.

M- Honestly, you could have just said come over tomorrow. Of course, I'll even sneak out if needed. I told you to call me whenever you need.

S- Thank you so much. I'll send you the address now.

M- Okay darl.

S- I'll be anticipating you. Don't sneak out oo( I laugh out loud knowing she can do that)

M- As long as I don't get the chance to go out, I'll definitely sneak out. Trust me.

We both laugh whole heartedly and say our goodbyes. I call Hamida but she didn't pick so I switch off my phone, pray and lay down to get some rest.

Hehe. Pardon me for the short chapter, I felt like keeping the drama till the next chapter. The real story starts from the next chapter.

Tighten your belts and get ready to be heartbroken, shocked and surprised.
