She ran with all her might scared shitless. The night was Already dark and quiet with no sign of a soul outside. She turned left and right for help but no one was outside to save her from the dog chasing her. Her legs was becoming weak with each step she took.
The dog was a few inch close to her when a car came speeding towards her direction with the tyres screeching . The car finally came to a halt and the man driving the car quickly came out of in worried for the terrified girl. That was when he saw the giant dog just a few inch away from her with his tongue out ready to have a bite of her flesh.
She ran to hold his hand tightly " please save me " she was terrified.
The man only nodded then took the stick not far from where he was standing. He went forward to drive the hungry dog away.
" he is finally gone, now you've got nothing to be scared of " he smiled charmly at her.
She raised her eyes to meet his but

The first thing that came to her mind when she entered was 'the incident at the hotel'.Kalthum quite knew or already knew that this is what this meeting was all about. It was bound to be raised and she prays it won't cost her her job." You asked for me sir? " she said.He raised his head up to meet her eyes.Kalthum couldn't look at his direction. Like before,her head was down. She was ashamed to. She knew she shouldn't be ashamed because she didn't do anything bad but he doesn't know that. Sir Faisal thoughts of her is different.The bashing she received from halima even made it more believing." yes I did. Come have a sit " he gestured" ok" she moved forward to sit on the chair. " I'm sorry sir for fainting earlier on "" let's cut the chase short young lady. I'm sure you know why I reacted the way I did before you fainted? "She shifted on her seat " ye-s yes sir.

Finally Kalthum's two days of freedom was now over. Which means she is finally starting her duty today after the two days breaks she had just to be strong from her sickness. She had waited for this day because boredom was killing her alone in her room.She dressed into her maid uniform which was given to her by Umm rasheed the senior maid. Already, Basma has long gone to her work post which is the parents side of the mansion. Yes, Basma was placed among other maids to work in the big boss 's side of the mansion. The big Dantata himself. But if she gets lucky she can be changed to Habeeb's room. It's so sad to say that the parents prefer to have their own section separated from the children's own. What a parent they are. They only meet whenever they are about to have breakfast, lunch or dinner.As for Kalthum she is in charge of Faisal's room. Surprising right?. Faisal prefers it like that so he can keep an eye on her. The whole set up of a thing actuall
The twins finally came down stairs for breakfast. The sight they saw immediately they got down was expected. The fact that they were getting use to their parents cold shoulders doesn't add up that they liked it. They've come accustom to that fact already. Just like any normal human being it still pains them.They stared at each other sadly.Hassana led the way first then hussaina follows. Umm ABDULRASHEED had already made their special cuisine for them. Spaghetti.Immediately they took their seat, the maid incharge of the kitchen quickly came out to serve their food the way they normally do. Any slight mistake, the maid is in trouble. After the two maids were done, they decided to go back to the kitchen and wait till the twins finish their meal as usual." Hussaina have I told you about this useless girl that was brought to my department? " hassana started a conversationHussaina rolled her eyes " No you haven't. what did she do? "
...Faisal have been having a rethink of what his brother Habeeb told him. 'You need to get a life. Live for once ' those lines kept echoing in his head.He won't deny that he actually agreed with habeeb but how can he get a life when he has so many responsibilities on his shoulders?First on the list are his sisters. He can't just leave them all on their own and Habeeb isn't one that is always around. Although Faisal understood his reasons for all the countless travel. Rasheeda's death did took a toil on him.He rubbed is forehead tiredly,an headache is beginning to develop. Why wouldn't it,when he has been thinking since he got here. He closed his laptop and decided to call it a day. Faisal had somewhere to be. That place is just like a second home to him.He got into his car and off he went. The ride was a thirty minutes ride because of how far the place was from his work place. He smiled when he took note of the little toddler who
" well, I just hope you have a better reason for why you're behaving like a thief or rather should I say you're about to meet a lover?" Faisal all dressed up in his work clothes folded his arms and waited for her answer.Kalthum gasped then turned around to come face to face with him" a thief ? a lover? "" yes a thief or a lover" he told her challenginglyShe swallowed quietly " Sir- I ju_st" you just what? Just say it already and stop wasting our time "His attitude towards her was beginning to annoy and irritate her at the same time " I just came to get water and chips"" oh wow " he said pretending to be amused " never knew you are a glutton. I can't imagine how you'll finish those chips just tonight. " he pointed at the four packet of potatoe chips in her hand." I'm not a glutton sir " she gritted out" oh really?! Then what are you? "" If it really bothers you that I took four potatoe chips
Recap" of course she will leave! " Faisal said" NO ONE IS LEAVING "Heads turn towards the door where the owner of that booming voice was standing. " no one is leaving " Habeeb repeatedPresentFaisal glares at his brother " just stay out of this Habeeb. This has got nothing to do with you"Habeeb took a long stride towards them. He spare a glance at Kalthum who also is surprised to have a second supporter. His gaze then met that of his brother's angry ones " I meant what I said faisal"" What is this to you?You don't even know why we're sending her packing and the funniest of all is that you only got to meet her for the first time in the study room!. It's not like you've known her before so please explain why you're standing up for her, I don't get it " a confused Faisal statedHabeeb's released a calming breath " I know this have something to do with the video clip but that aside, please don't send her packing ""
TWO YEARS LATER." I CONGRATULATE Y'ALL ONCE AGAIN." the VP congratulated. He waved at them as he left the stage.There faces broke into a big smile. They were very happy, happy to be called a graduate. They've all waited for this wonderful and bliss day.Kalthum hugged her sister like her life depends on it. She couldn't stop the wide smile on her face. She was just too happy for both of them." I'm so happy ya Basma!Finally we're now graduates! I can't believe it! "Basma giggled " I can't believe it too kalthum. Mom would be so proud of us "Basma should have graduated since last upper year but things didn't go as planned because that was the year she used to work at the Dantata's house, it wasn't possible. Last year, she thought she would be graduating after she finally resumed school,only to be shocked with a carryover.Since Basma had a carry over in one of her core course last year, so she needed to add another
Habib pushed the door open then entered. He was disappointed with himself.At that moment, Faisal was pressing his phone. He got startled with the sudden entrance. He gave his brother a confused look." why did you bang my door like that? "Habib gave him an apologetic look " sorry about that " he went to join his brother " I'm highly disappointed in myself. I just can't believe that I'm finding it hard to just confess my feelings for her. Could it be because I've been out of the game for a very long time? " he rants out to his brother.A surprised Faisal raised a brow" Finally, you now admit that you are into someone. I knew it. "Habib groaned " I just don't know why I can't muster the courage to tell her the truth. She doesn't even know my true identity "" are you trying to tell me that this lady in question is someone I know?" Faisal asked with a smirk" you better not start with me. I'm not in the mood for your teases right
" Kalthum! give it to me! " Basma yelled with her arms on her waist . She looks like a mother scolding her child." No I won't " kalthum replied with a wide grin " first, you need to tell me who you're chatting with. You've been doing that alot Lately "Basma exhaled loudly " wallahi you're insufferable. I can't believe you're my sister " she sat down on the chairKalthum also went to join her on the two sitter " so tell me if not I'll read your chats "She wiggled her brows.Basma shook her head " why are you my sister for Allah's sake? "Kalthum laughed " you still love me no matter what "The two sisters have grown to love each other like never before. Truth to her words, Basma changed and she is now someone who is very understanding. She is now the type of sister Kalthum have always wished to have and their love for each other keeps on growing day by day.Aunty Suwayba their mother went out to get something,
.....Basma quickly got up " I'm sorry. I know I shouldn't have entered your room like this "Kalthum waved it off " you're inside already. It's not a bother. So what are you doing here? "Basma rubbed her neck slightly " I came to have a word with you"" With me? " Kalthum raised a brow" Yes with you. Please listen to me "Kalthum heaved a sigh then told her to sit " so what do you want to talk about? "" About us"" Look Basma you don't have to do this. I've already forgiven you so what else"" I need to talk to someone and that person is you Kalthum. I need to take things off my chest "Kalthum told her to go ahead" It all started when I was in ss2. I met this group of friends that I wish I never met before. I was transferred from my former hostel to this new hostel where I came encountered with this clique. They were very popular back then. They were four in numbers, Aisha
Basma sobbed quietly on the hospital bed. She has been doing that alot since she landed in the hospital. Her past bad behaviour hunts her alot anytime she think about it . Her mind isn't at rest anytime she remember all she have done and most especially what she did to her own blood sister, Kalthum.KalthumBasma shook her head sadly as her sister's name passed through her lips. Her loving sister, she thought. How she wish she hasn't done all those things to kalthum, how she wish she can reverse time just to correct all her bad deeds. No-one will want a disgrace like her. No one will want someone like her in their life after they know what she has done.Basma wants to correct everything. She wish everything was easy but it isn't. Finally, she will be heading home today and she is scared of how Kalthum will face her. The last time they had an argument, it didn't end well. Kalthum refuses to believe that she have changed.She sniff
.....Faisal walked into the kitchen with the intention of telling umm rasheed about everything that has happened. He met her as usual preparing lunch. He decided not to go to work today due to the fact that he needed to make an end to maryam's games but first he needed to explain everything to Umm Rasheed." Nanny" he calledNanny turned around to look at Faisal " yes dear? " she smiled. Umm rasheed is now beginning to forgive Faisal since he finally realized his mistakes and is now trying to make efforts to work things out with Kalthum." I've something important to tell you " he told her then sat on a stool. Nanny dropped whatever she was doing as she saw that he was serious. She also came to join him. She too sat on a stool facing him. Nanny told the maids to excuse them. Maryam was also among the maids." Maryam dear, please help me take that flask to Hajiya Basira's room. She requested for you "
......" Maryam? Which maryam? " Kalthum blinked her eyes confused" The same Maryam you know. The one working in the Dantata's house "Kalthum moved forward to hit him but luckily Faisal quickly dragged her back " You're lying, aunty Maryam will never do that to me. She will never. I know you're only trying to cover up for Basma "" Calm down kalthum. I think he is saying the truth " Faisal said to her.She looked at Bashir with teary eyes " but why would she do that to me? I've never done anything to her Faisal. Why? "Bashir stood from one foot to the other. He was already getting uncomfortable " I don't really know why she wanted that to happen. She only brought business for me and since I was in need of money I couldn't decline it "Kalthum looked at him in disgust " aren't you ashamed of yourself? "" Look, I said I was sorry"Kalthum glared at him " Who is Maryam to you? "
Aunty Suwayba rushed into the hospital with kalthum trailing behind her. They were both looking deshelved after hearing the news from Umm rasheed who called them.As they entered, they looked round the reception in hope to find a familiar face. They forgot to bring their phone because they were in haste to leave the house." Good evening ma, how can I help you? " the lady in the front desk asked as she saw how worried they were.Kalthum turns to her " My sister is here. She just got admitted few hours ago "" Alright can you tell me her name so I can check the book for her room number?"Kalthum exhaled " her name is Basma Uthman. She came with a older lady "The nurse eyes perked up in realization." yes I remember. Go to room 23,you'll find them there. It's a private room"Kalthum nodded " Thanks alot nurse" she went to meet her mother " Mom let's go"They hurriedly left to look for room 23.***" Doctor ,
.....Kalthum and Zainab's mouth was wide agape. They were flabbergasted. Jamil who did not understood any of what was happening just stood confused." who is the girlfriend? "Zainab came out of her shock. She dragged Kalthum to her back like a mother trying to protect her child. She then stood in front of Faisal,She stood tall facing Faisal with a hard look." Mr man, with due respect , I don't know if you're mad or crazy or if you hit your head on the wall which then made you forgot all that happened. Have you forgotten what you did to my best friend? " she held her waist looking up at him.Faisal raised a brow surprise that a small lady was talking to him like that." I'm not here for you miss"Jamil looked at the two in shock " are you two talking about Kalthum? " how come the big Faisal dantata is interested in the person he love ,he thought" Yaya ,please hold on a second
