AFEEFA'S POV:
After what happened yesterday, I couldn't stop thinking about that lady. I decided to tell Aunt. Leila also agreed to the idea. She was shocked when she saw the lady. She kept asking me weird an stupid questions. I am currently just chatting with my family in a group I made when I got here
ME: you guys have got to be kidding me
AMEER: we're not kidding here
MOM: yeah, we expect you to come with a son-inlaw to be
DAD: no, don't listen to our mother. Don't find anyone. I don't want you to leave me
?
ME: ? I'm not going to leave you dad. And mom, I doubt that will happen
LEILA: Aunt, I bet she will easily find one. Because she is so drop dead gorgeous
AUNT: Yeah Leila is right
ME: Please stop?
ME: Aunt not you too?
I was about to type another message when I heard the adhan call for Maghrib prayer
ME: I have to go now. I'll talk to you all later. I have to pray
AMEER:?
DAD: Massalam
MOM: OK darling. Take care. Bye
ME: Bissalam
ME: Alright Mom. Thanks. Bye
ME: ?
I sent it and switched off my cellular data and kept the phone on my side drawer.
I went into the bathroom to make wudhu when I felt some pain underneath my abdomen. It was then it clicked, mother nature gave me a visit yesterday and left me with a little gift.
I just took my bath and went downstairs to have dinner
"Hey guys" I said when I saw all of them sitting down on the dining table
I hugged Leila from the back.
"Drop dead gorgeous huh?" I asked wiggling my eyebrows
"I'm never going to hear the end of it am I?"
"Nope" I said laughing and sat down.
We ate to our satisfaction
"Aunt. wallahi your food is to die for" I said
"My mom is the best isn't she" Leila said with a smug look. I smack the back of her head before replying
"Yup." I replied smiling
After eatiny we cleared the table and all went back to the living room.
"Aunt, I have something to ask you" I said as I kept my head down while fiddling with my fingers
"Okay dear. Go ahead" she said
"Am I a twin?" I asked as I raised my head and saw her eyes flashed with some emotion, it seems like shock or regret but quickly masked it
"Why did you ask that?" She asked
"Because today I saw a lady who looks exactly like me. I think she is my twin but I'm not sure" I said
"Her name is Afeena Ibrahim Sadiq" I said
She kept quiet as if she was thinking about something
"I have a friend named Hauwa'u Ibrahim Sadiq"
"But it has been 4 years since we saw each other. Since she was pregnant" she said
"Okay maybe it is just a coincidence" I said and she nodded in agreement
"Come to think of it, she once said something about her daughter in boarding school. But I never got the chance to meet her"
"Oh my! Really? Oh my! well do you know her address?
"Yeah I remember. I'm 30 not 60. Of course I do, How can I forget?" she replied
"Aunt when can we go? " I asked eagerly
"I lost her contact, so I guess next weekend because I will be really busy this week" she said and I nodded
"Thank you " I said and hugged her
"My Ukhti has a twin! " Na'ima screamed and I smiled
"No, no, no baby. We don't know that yet" I told her
"I'll pray that you do have. I bet having three Ukhtis will be the best thing ever! " she said smiling from ear to ear
'I really hope so too baby' I said to myself
I ruffled her hair and we all smiled
'But the question is, why will Mum & Dad not tell me about me having a twin'
