[Mubar sitting silently in a sadly mood]

Aahil:- dude, why are you looking sad? Your mood has been like this since morning

Mubar:- Hmm, Aahil why wont I be sad? When ive all reasons to be! I landed in UAE since yesterday and Sinal couldn't even call or text? First, she sent her sister to the airport, secondly she couldn't meet up with me yesterday and if she is that busy, at least a call or text for me to know she cares. Look at the time now, it's evening already!

Aahil:- My friend I understand you, but you're the man here so always be like one! So call her

Mubar:- Call her?

Aahil:- Yes call her! Talk to her. From her response you will analyse what she meant by all these. Don't just spoil your mood because of this bro!

Mubar:- Okay! Let me call her [he picked up of his phone and called Sinal]

[On phone]

Mubar:- Hey Sinal

Sinal:- What? The voice sounds like Mubar and the number is UAE

Mubar:- What do you expect then? Are you trying to play me or what?

Sinal:- That question goes to you! Mubar don't tell me you're in UAE!

Mubar:- of course I am!

Sinal:- This is serious! [she hung up the call]

[Mubar stood up and looked at Aahil]

Aahil:- Calm down bro! What's wrong?

Mubar:- I don't wanna say she's pretending, but she sounds so serious!

Aahil:- What is that? What did she say?

Mubar:- She was like i called her with UAE, she asked if i am in Dubai. I said yes and she hung up!

Aahil:- Oh my God!!! Now this is serious! Mubar I don't think Sinal knows we're in Dubai

Mubar:- Aahil what are you trying to say?

Aahil:- Mubar am suspecting Nihal! But call her again, let's not be judgmental!

Mubar:- What?

Aahil:- Yes call her again! And this time you too need to sound so serious!

[Mubar called Sinal twice she didn't picked up until third time]

[On phone]

Sihal:- What again?

Mubar:- Sinal what do you mean? Sinal I came all the way from U.k because of you. First, you didn't appear at the airport, second, you couldn't meet up with me since yesterday that I arrived. Thirdly, Sinal you didn't call nor text and now you're trying to play dumb?

Sinal:- isn't this ridiculous? Mubar I don't even know you left UK for Dubai talk less of knowing you landed. You didn't tell me anything. All you did was called me now and trying to be sarcastic?

Mubar:- This is serious! Sinal you meant to tell me that you don't know am in UAE?

Sinal:- How am I supposed to know? Did you tell me?

Mubar:- Then who sent Nihal to pick me up at the airport?

Sinal:- What? Which Nihal?

Mubar:- yes Nihal!!! Your sister!!! She was the one that picked me up at the airport yesterday. She said you sent her to, that you're kind of busy you couldn't make it! And before then I called your number a day before I left London but its not reachable, just to tell you that I will be coming

Sinal:- Nihal was with my phone the day before yesterday and even yesterday. She gave me the phone back this morning!

Mubar:- Oh my God! I just can't believe this!

Sinal:- Neither can I!

Mubar:- where are you know?

Sinal:- Am at home

Mubar:- let's meet up at Talise cafe by 6pm

Sinal:- its already 5pm so I will be on my way. Nihal went out with the driver, I will take a cab

Mubar:- I will be waiting for you!

[He turned and threw his phone on the bed]

Aahil:- Hae! iPhone 7 is expensive you know! It took me long before I could afford one. So what did she said?

Mubar:- [explained all that Sinal said on phone]

Aahil:- Then let's be on our way! Because you and Sinal need to meet as soon as possible. To get rid of the misunderstandings that's happening

[Mubar's phone started ringing]

Mubar:- Aahil help me pass the phone. Wait! Check who is that?

Aahil:- It's Nihal! What does she want this time around?

Mubar:- Give me! I need to talk to her!

Aahil:- hae! Don't say anything inappropriate now, tell her to catch you up at the place you're meeting with her sister. Then the three of you will get to talk

Sinal:- Mubar, I am not understanding! Who is in love with who here? [she asked confusedly]

Aahil:- Wait! Wait! You all need to calm down! Okay? Sinal, Mubar and Nihal let's all go have a sit first

Sinal:- No Aahil! No one is going to sit here! I need to know all that is happening right now!!

Mubar:- You heard it yourself! You heard what your sister said! So that's all that is happening

Sinal:- No! No! No! (She shouted In tears) please tell me this is not happening! Tell me it's all a dream!

Mubar:- it's Not Sinal! Your sister played us all! Many things have happened. But I chose not to mention any to you. From the messages she sent me, the emails, etc.Now I decided to come to UAE, I told her to inform you but she didn't ! She picked me up at the airport saying you sent her, which is a lie!! You told me you're not even aware of. Now I asked her why she is doing all these and thank God you heard it already from her!

Sinal:- Nihal!!! I can't believe you did all these! This is not the Nihal I knew!!! Not at all! [she shouted in tears] Nihal five months ago I wasn't in love with Mubar, not at all! You played 80% role In me starting a relationship with Mubar!You showed me Mubar was my world! Nihal you never told me you liked Mubar! By then you know I am the person that will definitely link you two! But just now? Now that it's too late!! Mubar and I are already in love![ she said angrily] .And for your information, you can't change that! Not you Nihal! (She threw her phone at her)

Aahil:-[ Rushed and picked up the phone and held Sinal's hand] hae!! Will you stop that! Exchanging words here won't solve the problem! So Sinal, Nihal you two need to go home now! Go calm yourselves down! Mubar and I will meet up with you later

Nihal:- [in tears] Sis Nal I didn't expect all these to happen. I just couldn't help but say it out! But I've been in love with Mubar since when we met in Nigeria!

Mubar:- Nihal can you please keep quiet? (He shouted) you're just complicating issues here!

Aahil:- that's why I said everyone should go home now!
