"Yeah I think I have someone who could help!! Exactly azeezah !"As soon as I heard my name being pronounced I felt a pang on my heart, I became so uneasy. I began to think what if mum is going to sell me away, alot of thoughts rushed to my mind.
"Azeezah!!" I heard my name being called by Umma , I quickly ran to my room pretending that I didn't hear Umma's conversation through the phone. I heard her called me again and at this time I answered and head to her room.
Umma's POV
Hmmmm finally I'm going to send this girl out of my sight, but how will I do it to make her not suspect me anymore.. let me just call her maybe the minute she comes I will have an idea.
"Salamu alaykum(peace be upon you)" she said bringing me out of my thoughts.
"Ummm azeezah darling how you doing?" i askedher as she squatted in front of me. She gasped on hearing my statement, before answering me while smiling yeah umma, I kept wondering why she gasped, I began to think whether my idea is going to work, so I proceeded.
"Are you hungry??" i could read her expression, she was surprised. She answered "um yes I mean no" I laughed at her answer, from the way she speaks I know she's hungry, I passed her over a plate of food , she didn't hesitate to collect.. she ate peacefully and happily , I smiled knowing that my idea is going to work. I rethought and just said "you can go" because I know if I talked to her about something she will suspect me so I let her go.
Azeezah's POV
When Umma called me , I was breathing heavily out of fear but to my full surprise she even called me a darling I couldn't believe it. Wow today I have to thank God for bringing an end to this, finally Umma is becoming nice, I began to wonder who that good preacher is , that persuade Umma to change her mind. Hey you are out of your senses, how will Umma change suddenly maybe she's planning something you don't know. My inner self protested against my thought. but as usual I discarded that idea.
Azeesss ( the name my sis atika used to call me whenever she's trying to be nice) I smiled sheepishly and replied atiksss we both chat for a long time and laughed every single minute , but it's unusual of her, my inner self wanted to think negatively but I fought over it. I just kept praising Allah for answering my prayers.
Alhamdulillah( praise be to God).
