C15 Fifteen

They had long returned from the mall where they had gotten all the food items and presently it was dawn and waleed sat upstairs in his room while Anisah sat on the staircase conversing with jamal and laughing. Which didn't go unheard by waleed who couldn't phantom what he was hearing. Her laugh was so loud.

"Is that not Anisah, why is she awake by this time?" He mumbled to himself while putting on his robe. He spliped into his red slipper and made his way through the door where Anisah's laugh and voice became even more audible.

He walked slowly until he go to the first casing of the stairs where he stood with his hand in the railings. Looking at Anisah who stood below him. "Wallahi like they are so many things I would love to do before my birthday. But sadly its in a week and I will no be able to do them" Anisah said to Jamal. Waleed starred at her, wondering who she was speaking to. Maybe it was a classmate, he thought and turned arround to walk away for he was sleepy.

"Awwwn jamal you are such a darling" Immediately those seven set of words escaped Anisah's mouth. Waleed turned arround, the sleep vanishing away.

"Yes jam jam" she said. So he gets a pet name?, waleed thought with a scowl on his face.

"The guy you saw me with?, God forbid bad thing. He is not my boyfriend, nor husband nor brother. He is my rude and arrogant boss and I hate him, he is very mean" Anisah said. Waleed couldn't belive his ears, he had never imagined that Anisah could hate him.

"Jamal I can't hear you properly. Let me put my phone on speaker" she said while turning on the speaker. Now waleed could also hear jamals voice. That scum, waleed thought while relaxing properly on the railings.

"What I am saying is that, what if he becomes your husband in the future? "Jamal asked and immediately followed it with a boyish giggle.

"Never, I would rather die than marry waleed. Jamal seriously you don't know how rude he is, he is the epitome of great rudeness, ego and arrogance" she said. Waleed only kept staring at her and nodding his head. I will show her what is the real definition rudeness, he thought.

"Haba, you must hate the poor guy" jamal said and Anisah immediately muttered a great yes.

"And speaking of that waleed, sincerely I feel like I've seen his face somewhere before" jamal said, waleed stood upright in curiosity. Where could he know him from?, could he had studied in Paris too?. Nahh no way, he is too stupid for school, waleed thought.

"Trust me you don't, or maybe he has ever insulted you before" Anisah said and waleed silently hissed.

"Nahhh, I don't think so. When I remember I will tell you" Jamal said and she nodded.

"Alright jam jam, I will speak to you tomorrow. I've got to study for my government exams, wish me luck" Anisah said and Jamal was quick to mutter a good luck.

"And before you go, will you be free tomorrow?" Jamal asked.

"Yeah I might be. Nahhhh next tomorrow I'm having maths, so I have to study" she face palmed herself. Waleed was still staring at her.

"Okay, what time do you leave for school. Tell me your home address and I'll come pick you up tomorrow" jamal said and she quickly mumbled the address to him.

"Alright, I'll call you tomorrow when I get there" Jamal said and she mumbled a thank you before calling it a night and walking towards the dinning room where she had kept her government textbook and notebook. She began to read.

Waleed on the other hand decided going to his room. But what Anisah had said bafled him allot, so she hates him, this isn't what he had thought, he thought she simply disliked him.

He decided to sleep because he was extremely tired.

****

The next day came like a running wolf with Anisah walking down the stairs already dressed in her school uniform. She saw waleed already seated and eating the food she had prepared him. "Good morning sir, I'm leaving for school now" she said while standing before him.

"Okay" he simply muttered while staring at the screen of his phone "Bye" she whispered silently before turning arround and walking away.

"Wait" waleed made her pause and she turned to look at him, her face had powder on it and he was sure it was because of jamal. The one thing that bafled him was the way her perfumes scent was strong today. Wow she was so ready for her so called jam jam, he thought.

"Did you clean my room?" He said the first question that crossed his mind.

"Yeah" she responded sofly and he nodded "you may leave" he mumbled and she turned arround and he immediately stole a glance of her, her uniform was so ironed today aswell. Hmmm, he is beginning to hate this jamal. He thought but why. Why would he hate the poor guy.

On her way out she bummed into Usey who exchanged pleasantries with her before walking further into the house. "Guy, whose Mercedes Benz is parked outside?. Like damn the latest one fah" Usey said.

"Its Anisah's boyfriends car" he said while getting on his feet and immediately walking towards the door where he immediately walked outside the gate pretending to head to the kiosk.

"Hey buddy how are you?" Jamal said the minute he saw waleed. Who stared at him with a very neutral Expression that spelt rudeness, ego and great arrogance. He also did the same to Anisah before walking towards the kiosk ahead of him.

"Damn, ouch. He is very rude gaskiya" Jamal said making Anisah laugh out loud at Jamal's facial expression. Waleed could hear her laughing and felt insulted, thinking she was laughing at him.

"Let's go please, pay no attention to him" Anisah said while opening up the car's door along with jamal who instantly sat and drove off.

Waleed on the other hand had returned home and Usey immediately fired him with a question "why did you run off?" Usey asked.

"I wanted to see the fool that had fallen in love with that ugly girl" he said.

"Hmmm, you are acting weird sha. But the guy is handsome ooo, I don't like him. He is stealing my Anisah" Usey said making waleed hiss loudly.

"Whatever I'm finer than him, I'll be right back. I wanna shower" waleed said while climbing up the stairs.
