Isma'il 's pov

"Hello." Yasmin said on the other line.

To be sincere I really hate her when I came to the school but she's a really good friend so we're getting along pretty much I must say. And Hafsat too.

"Hi Yasmin I was meaning to ask you a really important favor." I said. Damn it this whole thing is really making me nervous.

"Ok I'm all ears." She said.

Me: u know with all these fight between me and Zainab Maryam stood up for me right?

Yasmin: yh go on.

Me: so the least I could do is to tell her i like her.

Yasmin: absolutely that's really thoughtful of u. She likes u too u know.

Maryam likes me. I knew she does too the way she talks to me looks at me and act when im around her she's a really good actor

Me: thank goodness so this will be easy I guess.

Yasmin: yh it will be I'll just tell her right away.

Me: thanks so much Yasmin

Yasmin: anytime.

She then disconnected the call.

I was really happy. Now everything will turn out normal. I stood up and performed my ablution then observed my salah. I then sat down on the carpet, crossed my legs and continued watching my movie while sipping my drink. Just then Maryam's call came in.

"Hello Isma'il." Her sweet voice said.

"Hello bae how've you been?" I asked.

"I've been fine." She said. "Uhmm.... Isma'il Yasmin called me and told me everything but I'm so sorry I can't date you."

I gulped then spoke.

"And why can't you?"

"Weren't you in the bus when Zainab told everyone about my life? You wouldn't want to date a girl that her own parents disowned her would you?"

I was really taken a back by what she said but I'm going to prove her wrong.

"Maryam please stop saying this it is our test our fate that Allah brought upon us. He did that just to taste our imaam (faith) and you see you've passed with flying colours. So please don't ever say this again. I like you and i want the whole you. I don't care weather you're not with your parents or whatsoever. It's you I like not your parents." Really I should be a poet one day. I never thought I could ever think of something like this. I heard her sniffed then said.

"Your words are really soothing Isma'il. It had taken most of what I'm feeling right now. So... I have accepted.

"Yesssss!!! " I shouted as I punched the air with my feet. "So we're officially dating? " I asked her.

"Yeah we are." She said chuckling softly. Awwn so cute.

"So I think we should celebrate. Let's meet in Kids mania tomorrow by 2 sharp my treat sounds good?"

"Sounds good. Bye I've got something to do."

"OK bye love." I said and disconnected the call.

I then went down when i heard my Dad's car honking.

Zainab's pov

"Yaya Ameer is going to get the shock of his life." Deeja said clearing the table.

'Yeah he is." I said. I took my phone which was now 66% percent and opened my whatsapp to chat with Jamila and Aisha. Before when we were friends with those three (Maryam, Yasmin and Hafsat) we had our group called 'cute creatures'. But when we fought we canceled the group and made our own just the two of us. Thank God they were both online.

Me: hey guys

Jamila: hey bae

Aisha: hlo how are you feeling now girl???

Me: I'm doing gr8all thanks to my family

Aisha: *clears throat* 😏

Me: and ma cutey pies here too.

Jamila: now ya talking.

Aisha: hey how bout we meet tomorrow my at Kids mania you know to lighten up the mood.

Me: dats a good idea. What time?

Jamila: how bout 2?

Aisha: good 👍

Me: ditto bye gotta go

Jamila: bye

Aisha: bye

I dropped my phone and then we snapped some pics with Deeja.

I got bored after that so I scrolled through my messages. I felt a pang in my chest as I saw Ismail's contact.

Why does love hurts???

Want to know what happens next?

BETRAYED CHAPTER THIRTY THREE

"I'm busy Zainab. Go and sleep." Ismail said, massaging his temple, not even sparing her a glance."I know you aren't busy. Please. Can I come in? I know that what I did was not right but please." She pleaded.He sighed and muttered come in. Seconds later she was in front of him, staring at him as she took a deep breath."I'm sorry." She said.He didn't spare her a glance so she continued."I...I was in the wrong too and...and am tired of hiding my feelings for you anymore. I love you Ismail. I'm so sorry." She sniffed and blinked back the tears that threatened to spill out.And her words totally took him off guard. He stared at her as she lowered her head."Come here." He motioned to her to come closer and she did, sitting beside him. She stared at him for a while before she placed her forehead on his chest, trying to push back her tears.

BETRAYED CHAPTER THIRTY TWO

"Mu'allim!" Zainab said surprised and opened the door wider, trying to mask her shocked expression. She awkwardly shifted as she greeted Mustapha who gave her a tight smile. After hugging Ummi and Ruqayyah she went in to get them some drinks and samosas. "How are you Zainab and your husband?" Mu'allim nearly choked as he tried to voice out the words. "We're....doing fine." She smiled. Mustapha asked her too and she replied the same thing. "Rukky let's go upstairs." Deeja said and the three went up and left the other three. Zainab rubbed her sweaty palms on her gown and smiled at them. "Zainab we..." Mu'allim gulped. "We need to talk." He said and she gulped. "Your life was messed up. You once loved a guy who didn't love you and disgraced you in return. The person who is now your husband. You then dated Musty, and then we got engaged, almost got married

BETRAYED CHAPTER THIRTY ONE

It had been four days after the wedding, but there was no sign of Ismail. She tried several times to ask Maami but couldn't muster the courage to do so. Aliya has went back to her home in Abuja. Later in the evening she decided to make an apple pie. She was so totally engrossed in making the dish that she didn't know when someone came in. And then when she saw him, she screamed at the top of her voice, before he swiftly closed her mouth with his hand. "Common Habibti relax, its me." He sensually spoke into her ear, his warm breath fanning her collarbone. "Ya Allah, you scared me! I'm not used to someone sneaking in on me..." Her breath hitched as she took in his appearance. He was wearing a white kaftan with golden embroidery but without a cap. His glistening hair fell over his eyes, casting a dark shadow on his face. How can a Nigerian have this kind of hair? He

BETRAYED CHAPTER THIRTY

The moment those words left her mouth and registered into Zainab's head, she stared feeling dizzy, and before she knew it she was down. "Deeja, quickly get some water!" Halima said as they all gathered around her. "Give her some space to breath!" Zulaiha said and they backed out a little terrified. Maama and Ameer's wife, Hanan rushed into the room too worried. What was wrong? What brought the twist of events? She regained consciousness in a few minutes and looked up to find Maama, been the only person in the room. "Dear are you okay?" She asked and Zainab nodded gently. "Maama tell me please what is happening?" "Zainab please calm down, there's nothing to worry about. Just accept what was written in your fate. You and Ismail are meant for each other. Even though the people gathered were here to witness your marriage with Mu'allim, the plans

BETRAYED CHAPTER TWENTY NINE

Zainab was going through some of her books when she received a message from an unknown number. She hesitantly took the phone and read the message... I've already lost hope Zainab. So I promise to never court you nor disturb your life again. Take care and know that your spot in my heart will never be occupied. I love you. She hissed and threw her iPhone 6 away and sobbed hard with a lone smile tugging at her lips. 2 years later.... "Are you even listening to me?” Maryam yelled which caused Aamilah to jolt crying but luckily her Mother soothed her back to her nap. Aamilah and Aamal are twins

BETRAYED CHAPTER TWENTY EIGHT

"4 years,that's crazy." Maama eyed him and Zainab snorted, focusing back to the book she's reading on Good novel. "Yes, I know it is but Zainab still hasn't settled down in the uni. I want her to settle down first and be more....sensible."I snorted again. "So Maama you mean am not sensible now right?” She glared at me. "I'll see what I can do about it though 4 years is insane you know but shuuu" they both chuckled with Ameer rolling his eyes and she looked back at my phone,memory of the past 2 hours rushing back.... ***"Zeebae." Aisha called and took Zainab in an unexpected hug. Jamila hesitated before joining the hug too. Really, now she feels like a big coward for bragging to her other halves. They complete her wallah. And being the awesome beings they are they didn't take it to her heart. "Im so sorry guys." I choc
