Ahmed's P.O.V:
I was in the shower after a long day playing basketball with my buddies when I heard a knock on my door. I washed the soap off my body and I quickly came out with a towel tied around my waist
"Come in" I said
"Assalamu Alaikum" I heard Afeena's voice as she came into the room and sat down
"'Wa'alaykumus salam" I replied as I looked for a clothe to wear
"Ahmed I have something important to talk to you about" Afeena said
"One minute. Lemme dress up and then I will give you my full attention" I replied and she nodded
I went into the walk in closet to dress up when Afeena asked me about my passcode
"159357" I replied
Wait. why did I even give her the passcode.
After I was done dressing I opened the door end I heard Afeena muttering something I couldn't make out
"What did you say?" I asked her as I came into the room
"Uhhh....nothing" she said as she quickly swiped into something.
"I was just watching this video" she added as she tapped something. I looked at her eyes which clearly shows that she's lying because she just showed me a political video which she hates but I nodded nonetheless. I did some few more things before I sat down next to her.
"So. What did you want to talk about?" I asked her as she sat up straight
"Ummm.......there's this girl...." She started as my eyes widened in shock. Is my sister trying to get me a wife? Oh no!!!
"calm down. It's not what you think dummy" she said as I felt relieved. Phew!
Alhamdulillah. I muttered to myself
"what! It's not my fault. It's the first thing that popped into my head" I said and she laughed
"I will never do that. Well maybe if I know who she is" she winked and I just shook my head
"Any who. There is this girl called Afeena Mohammed Souleiman. I was surprised when I saw her at first. There girl is like a clone of mine. She looks exactly like me when I first met her, I saw her in Omaya's remember?"
I nodded, my back was facing the door so I didn't see the lady. She continued
"But I didn't want to create a scene so I just walked away and later on saw her talking to Nour. Nour thought she was me so that's why she talked to her at first and then I saw her again yesterday when we were in the mall"
oh man! Why wasn't I there
"and you know that I just wore a hijab right? so when she mistakenly bumped into me, we looked at each other for some seconds. I was shocked beyond my measure. our height, our weight, our face shape, everything! looks exactly the-same. But she walked away quickly before I could say anything. That is why I wanted to tell you maybe your investigator friend could help and find out everything about her. I think she may be my twin but if she was Umma and Abba would have told me right?"
She asked and I nodded
"so please help me" she said and I nodded again
"I'll see what I can do Feena. Don't worry" I said and she hugged me tight
"Thank you" she said
"You're welcome" I replied
After we broke the hug, she brought up another topic that I have dreaded to have with her
"Now there is something else I want to ask you" she said
"Okay what is it?"
"Do I have any sister-in-law to be?" She asked "and don't you say there isn't or its none of my business. just tell me" she added quickly.
Seems like she knows me too well. I just sighed and rubbed my forehead. I guess I have to tell her
"There is but not fully" I said and she smiled 'really Ahmed that was the best you could come up with?' I asked myself
"what do you mean 'not fully'?" She asked as she quoted it with both her pointing and middle finger
"She doesn't know about it and I doubt that she will even agree" I said honestly
"Who is she?" She asked
"You don't have to know" I replied
"Yeah, I do. Maybe I could help you. Please tell me who she is, please dear brother. you know my curiosity won't leave just like that"
"No way. I don't want any help. I am going to do this all by myself. And haven't you heard of this phrase 'curiosity killed the cat'?" I asked
" Yeah 'but satisfaction brought it back' so am gonna investigate whether you like it or not till I find who my sister in law to be is" she said as she smirked and left the room.
I sighed as I lied down. I don't know what to do with this girl. I just hope she doesn't find out that I like Nour.
