AFEENA'S P.O.V:
We dropped Tariq at his friend Faruq's place before going to the mall. After we got in, Nour dragged me to the ladies side. She kept choosing clothes and throwing them on me telling me that we will both try them all. I got tired and told her that I will take them to the dressing areaoom.
The clothes were too much and I didn't know where I was going but I took careful steps.
Suddenly, someone pushed me and soon the clothes and I were all on the floor.
"Ouch!" I said
"I'm so sorry" a lady apologized and she started packing up
She kept hers aside and started packing mine.
"I'm so sorry Miss" she apologized again.
Her voice sounds like mine......Oh My God! I think its that lady from Omaya
"No problem" I said
"Mistakes do happen don't they" I added as I stood up straight and pinned my hijab. I didn't want her to feel guilty.
"Hi, my name is Afeena, nice to meet you" I said as I looked at her. Her hijab was blocking the view of her face because she bent down her head.
"Hi. Mine is Afeefa, nice to......" She stopped in my tracks as she looked at me.
It wasn't that of a surprise to me but I was still amazed that I have a clone. Our features are exactly alike. It was like I was looking at a mirror.
"Who are you?" We both asked.
Just then a lady walked up on us. "Hey Feefa, why did you walk away like thaa...." She stopped midway looking at both of us
"Woah. What is happening here?" She asked moving backwards
Just then Nour approached us mistakenly hitting the lady's shoulder
"Sorry," she said to her
"What is going on here?" Nour asked
"That's what I just asked" the lady said said
"Excuse me. What's your name?" My clone asked
"Afeena Ibrahim Sadiq. What is yours?" I replied
Afeefa Mohammed Souleiman"
"Guys. Am I the only one looking at twins right now?" Nour said squealing with excitement. I raised an eyebrow at her and just small smiled as I shook my head while my clone was laughing at Nour.
"Well I can assure you that I am not a twin. My mum and dad never said anything about me having a twin" my clone said and I nodded in agreement.
"Neither did mine" I replied
My clone then whispered something into the other lady's ears and her eyed grew big. She made an O shape with her mouth
"We have to go" the lady said smiling apologetically. I watched as my clone went away leaving their clothes splattered all over the floor
I turned to Nour who had confusion written all over her face.
"Well. That was,.....weird. And they didn't pick up their clothes!" Nour said pointing to the clothes that was splattered
"Yeah. Let's finish the shopping. I haven't even started." I said and she gave me the 'are you seriously letting this go?' Look
I just shrugged and walked away with the clothes and knowing that she is following me.
After we finished all the shopping, we kept all the stuffs in the car and waited for Ahmed. I almost lost it and decided to drive away and leave him but Nour stopped me the moment he arrived.
We drove to Nour's house first. We packed her clothes and went in. Zahradeen was sitting on the couch watching wrestling. He never changes
"Good afternoon Akhee" Nour said
"Afternoon" he replied
"Good afternoon" I also greeted and he just nodded
"Hey bro! Long time" Ahmed said and they did their bro hug thing.
Nour and I just went upstairs leaving them alone.
"What was that?" I asked Nour
"What?"
"Why did he reply to you and he didn't reply mine?" I asked and she just shrugged.
"I dunno" she said and I just brushed it off
We went back downstairs after Nour prayed Zuhr. We went into the kitchen and helped Aunt in setting the table for lunch
She insisted that we stay for lunch. After having lunch, Nour and I went back into the room and she prayed Asr
"Hey Afeena. Why aren't you on w******p? Or any social media?" Nour asked
We are now lying down on the bed. Me playing game on my phone while she's on w******p.
"Nothing. I just don't feel like it. And tbh I dunno how to" I said and she laughed
She collected my phone and sent w******p through Xender. I honestly never used that thing.
She made an account for me and I just kept playing my game. Not even bothering to check how it works.
Around 5pm, we decided to head home but we picked Tariq up before going home
We ate dinner and I went back to my room. I kept my phone and went into the bathroom to freshen up.
Immediately I came out I heard a notification sound.
I checked it and found that it was a message from Nour on w******p.
NOUR: Hey baby
ME: Hey
NOUR: Miss u
ME: What are you talking about? We just left your house like 15
minutes ago
NOUR: Whatttt!!! Can't a girl miss her best friend?
ME: ?
NOUR: Zahree just asked for your number. Should I?
ME: Of course! Do u even have to ask?
NOUR: *scoff* alright
She replied. I kept my phone and brought out my notebook and pen. I am writing a story. Yeah, I am a writer.
But not publicly. I am my own personal writer
The name of the story is
-Even after all that-
And no I don't have a plot. And I am too lazy to summarize the story.
I heard a notification sound again
UNKNOWN: Hello beautiful
ME: Who is this?
UNKNOWN: It's Zahradeen
ME: Oh hey
ZAHRADEEN: how are you?
ME: am fine
ZAHRADEEN: Great
ME: why did you ignore me earlier?
I waiter for his reply but he didn't. I just kept my phone and continued writing my story and eventually ventured into the land of dreams
