"I know you like him and he also do. But trust me Miskiyyah, my brother isn't someone you can like. You will ended up getting hurt so please stop liking him. He might leave anytime without goodbye. Stop seeing him. It's for your sake"
"What do you mean" I asked confused.
"My time is up. Bye" She said before leaving.
"Mawrah" I called and she stopped
"If you continue to see him, them your father's business will be at stake" She said and walk out of the house.

I stood there trying to digest all what is happening.
Ya Allah what is going on??

I walked into the prayer room still feeling sleepy. My dad had made it a routine for us to pray tahajjud in congregation. We only use the prayer room only in the morning but sometimes whenever dad is not feeling well we do use it to pray in congregation.

Dad has made tahajjud compulsory for everyone of us, if you are off salah (menstruating) all you have to do is sit at the back and make dua. Sometimes I will ended up sleeping while waiting for them to finish but Dhikra and mum will instead start reading their Qur'an.

Both in USA and here, i was known as a lazy girl. Whenever it's time to cook or do the laundry I'll always feign sickness. That is what makes Dhikra and Dhikr a better cook. At 10, the twins can prepare a delicious dish. I'm sixteen yet I will only burn the food or put a load of salt or put sugar instead of salt (when sleepy) and the worst is that if not careful i might ended up burning down the kitchen.

Mum move to the back to sit and I frown.
"Are you guys into family planning" I asked and her head snapped towards me.
"Thanks for asking ukhty. I was also planning on asking. When are you giving us a younger sibling" Dhikra asked and I turn to dad
"We have to pray" Dad said spreading the mat and I shrug. I sat down beside mum while the rest start praying.
"Mum" I called
"I almost die during the twins birth so your dad decided that we stop" Mum said
"And how come I don't know about that" I asked and she smile
"How will we explain all what we went through to a five year old girl"
"That five year old girl that got her dad married to her teacher" I said and she burst into silent laughter
"Is that an achievement?" She asked and I nod. She smile at me before hugging me.
"And thanks for getting me married to your dad" She said and I smile before hugging her back.
"Ok enough, let's read our Qur'an" She said breaking the hug wiping away her tears while I just smile.

I got to school that day praying that Hussain won't disturb me. But to my surprise he didn't show up in school at all. I was surprised cause he had never miss school for once.

Throughout the week, Hussain was absent from school. I felt everything was coming to pass. He's really leaving without informing me. Who am I even to him??

My phone beeped and I pick it up from my dressing table. It was a message from Daniella. I wanted to ignore it but something push me into opening only to see a video of Hussain in a.......
"A CLUB" I yelled, my eyes as big as saucers.

He was dancing with girls in only underwear and had a bottle of alcohol in his hand. He was wearing a crazy jean with shirt that wasn't buttoned. The girls are doing nothing but touching all his body and he really won't keep his mouth away from them.

I stopped the video and threw my phone on the bed. It started ringing but i ignored it. After 30 minutes it started ringing again and I picked it up. I don't even understand what's wrong with me. I don't know what to do. Should I cry or laugh? I don't know. I thought he's someone pious.

"Miskiyyah are you there?" I heard Daniella's voice.
"Yes?"
"They are calling him Michael. He had a name. I know you don't send me but i just have him followed and gather some things about him. He's on a secret mission which I don't know and the mission has ended that is why he is partying here with his sister and other members of their group. He will be leaving tomorrow by 10:00am in Muritala Muhammed Airport. Though I don't know where he will be going" Daniella finished her story and unexpectedly i burst into tears. I'm really confused.
"Bye. I had warned you before" Daniella said before disconnecting the call.

After minutes of crying, i fell asleep with me thinking about how I was fooled.

9:30am

I've been staring at the table clock for the past two hours not knowing what to do. Should I go or i should just pretend I don't know he will be leaving the country today?

9:50am

Immediately I jumped up, put on my hijab and ran outside not after taking my phone and some cash. I could hear mum asking me where I'm going but I really don't have the time to answer.

I got into a taxi and he drove off after I told him where I'm going. After a twenty minutes drive (that was possible because there was no traffic), the taxu park at the parking lot. I paid him and ran off not waiting to collect my change.

My phone start ringing and I brought it out of my purse to see Daniella calling
"I know you will go" She said immediately I answered the call
"I asked my dad for help so I got to know that he's going to UK" She said and I ran off to the place where UK passenger use to seat before their flight. After looking around i found him with Mawrah. But this time around Mawrah was wearing a off shoulder top with beauty embroidered on it and a tight high waist jean.

I was fooled, i was really fooled. I thought he's a Muslim, he had no name, no family members and no friends but i was wrong, i was really wrong. Tears roll down my eyes as I walk towards them

"Hussain" I called and their head snapped towards me. He smirked before standing up.
"Hey baby" He called, the smirk still on his lips
"Ohh sorry I meant to say Michael" I said and he nod
"You lied to me"
"No I don't..."
"You do. You fooled me, filled my head with lies and you even betrayed the trust i have for you. Huss....."
"Stop it I hate that name with passion. I hate anything related to Muslims talkless of you being rich. I hate all rich people and I hate you from the start till forever" He said and I stared at him tears rolling down my eyes.

My eyes travelled to where Mawrah was sitting to see her chewing gum loudly and pressing her phone.

"Thanks for everything Hussain and thanks for hating me" I said before leaving. He doesn't worth my tears, i really need to stop crying.

I took a taxi back home but due to the traffic it took me 45 minutes to reach home. Ignoring everyone, i head to my room and cry myself to sleep.
