Deejah's POV "Deejah! Deejah! Deejah!!!" I heard someone calling my name from what seemed like a distance. "Who the hell is calling me this early!" I grumbled, with my eyes still closed.Groggily, I was about to open my eyes, when mum suddenly barged into my room, uninvited."Won't you come down for breakfast?" She questioned, gazing intently at me. "Your dad has been waiting for you for a while now. His tea has gotten cold, just because of you." She queried.Before I could give her a reply, she had already turned around and walked out of the room.I go out of the comfort of my bed and rushed to the bathroom to take care of my business.Emerging from the bathroom, I sauntered to the closet and put on a maroon coloured gown, with a scarf tied around my head. Immediately I was done, I left the room for the dining.
Dejah's POV"Oh my God!" I groaned. I couldn't believe it was Monday already and here I was, still lying on my bed. A frown etched my forehead, as I picked up my cellphone to know what time it was. "Thirty minutes?" I gasped and hurriedly left my bed for the bathroom.After taking a quick shower and brushing my teeth, I dashed out with a towel securely wrapped around my chest. I walked into my closet and picked the first gown I sighted.Within a blink of an eye, I had already finished putting on light make-up. With one last look at my reflection in the mirror, I rushed down to the dining to have breakfast. Fortunately, it was already served.After I was done, I walked out of the house and into my SUV - the car dad had bought for me on my eighteenth birthday, as a gift.Like a lunatic, I sped to school. Luckily, I was able to get into the lecture hall before the
Yushraf's POV"Alhamdulilah I was able to sell a lot today." I heaved a sigh. Though it was hectic, I was very grateful to have sold a lot.I rushed back home to meet my twin sister, Reedah and to fill her in on the good news. At least the money I earned would be used to pay some of our bills.Immediately I got to the front of our house, my lips curved into a smile. I knocked on the door and almost immediately, the door flung open and she hugged me tightly.I slowly wrapped my arms around her as well - Reedah was the only family Ammi and baba had left for me, after being killed in a fatal accident. It had been three long years, but the memory was still fresh in my mind. I had a hard time moving on, but because I had Reedah to take care of, I suppressed my feelings and pretended to be happy. Ever since their departure, things had been really difficult for both of us. We barely had food to eat once a day. I wasn't bothered about myse
Deejah's POV I was in class, waiting for our lecturer for what seemed like forever and yet he hadn't shown up. I grabbed my bag and was about to leave, when he walked in, making an excuse of having a board meeting.Immediately he started lecturing, I felt like dozing off, for his lectures were always as boring as hell.After the lecture time had elapsed, the lecturer walked out of the classroom the same way he entered. I returned my book to my bag and was about to leave the theatre when I felt my hand being grabbed by someone from behind. I turned around, only to see Sheriff - my boyfriend. We started dating at my 100level and he was already in his final year. He was one of those typical bad guys on campus, always attending all parties in the vicinity.He changed my lifestyle from being a nerd to a classic babe. He loved me I loved him too. People gossi

He was my closest friend and a cousin. His dad, uncle Jaafar and my dad were brothers. They had only one sister Aunty Salamatu. She lived in Canada with her husband and three kids - two boys and a girl. Hafiz was the firstborn and was older than I, by a year.

After several thoughts, I suggested we go to Jibrin's - our secondary school friend's house. After our parent's death, he was one of the people that stood by us. We took a cab and gave the driver the address of where we were headed. Immediately we alighted, I brought my wallet out and paid the driver.
