C26 Twenty six
The next day came and Waleeds mum and Kabiras mum had set a date between the two of them. And it would take place at Silverbird as suggested by Kabira. Waleed had to wake up extra early In other to catch up, he got dressed into a black denim jeans trouser and a polo blue T shirt. He topped it all up with amazing looking Jordan sneakers. He looked extremely handsome.
Immediately he arrived downstairs, he had breakfast which was already made by Anisah. He was glad it wasn't noodles nor tea and bread. It was Jollof rice and fish, he loved it so much.
"Anisah" He said immediately he saw her.
"Sorry Good morning Waleed, I didn't see you there" She apologized.
"Wow where has miss grumpy gone to?" He mocked and she chuckled "Do you have plans for today?" He asked.
"No, why do you ask?. Do you have anything for me to do?" She asked happily.
"No, Go get dressed. We are going out for lunch" He said.
"Oh wow, okay" she responded excitedly. And turned arround to walk away but he made her stop in her track by calling onto her "Anisah, wait" he said.
"Yes" She turned around.
"Follow me, I have something for you" Waleed said, she nodded and followed behind him into his room. He picked up a Long peach dress that was worth over 200 thousand dollars and handed it to her. She collected it with a confused gaze.
"What is this for?" She asked looking very confused
"Its A gift, I want you to try it on. It's my newest design" He said.
"I'm sorry Waleed but this looks very expensive" She tried to explain as she dropped the cloth on the sofa.
"Yes it's very expensive indeed. But..." he picked the shirt up and dropped it on Anisahs shoulder. "It will look very beautiful on you" He said.
"Waleed I can't wear this I'm
Very sorry" She tried to give it back to him but he insisted.
"Anisah please. If you don't wear this clothe I'll be very mad at you. Do you think 50 thousand dollars is more than you?. If that's what you think, then you are very wrong" He said Sternly. "Now take the clothe and wear it!" He deadpanned.
She smiled with a nod and grabbed the gown and walked away. She immediately went into her room and got dressed. She couldn't believe how stunning she looked. On the side of the clothes was written, Waleed Akthar designs in glittery stones. She loved the clothe allot and the color made her blue eyes shine. Immediately she was done applying make up, perfume and wrapping a veil on her head. She strolled downstairs to find Waleed dressed in a milk colored kaftan. He looked very handsome as a smile immediately it's way onto his face at the sight of Anisah. She was looking stunning and he loved the smile on her face so much, he knew he was falling for her and there was no way he would try to fight back his feelings.
"Let's go Ani" He said to Anisah who walked over to him with a broad smile on her face. He grabbed her hand and said "You look very beautiful" he said and she couldn't help but blush. "May we?"
He said to her and she nodded and they both strolled outside towards his new tear leather BMW. His dad had bought it for him as a gift.
They both sat down in the car and Waleed immediately ignited the engine and they drove out of the opened gate. It was long drive but Bounce by Ruger kept them company as the sang alone, it was a very nice drive indeed. In not less than an hour they had arrived at 'Gigi house of Meals' a very big well known restaurant around Nigeria. Anisah loved how it looked and couldn't wait to see the inside of the restaurant. Waleed pulled out his phone and called Kabira "Are you inside?" He asked. Who could they be here to see?. Anisah thought. "Okay I'll be right there" she could tell from his voice that he was unhappy.
"Let's go Ani" he said
"Anisah, Not Ani Please" she said.
"I can call you what I wanna"
He simply said before opening the door and walking out. She rolled her eyes with a smiled and hopped out along with him. They walked into the restaurant and Waleed immediately grabbed her hands and held it firmly as they both talked and laughed on their way to where kabira was seated and sipping a hot cup of coffee. The moment she saw Waleed And Anisah, she frowned. How could he be holding her Hands so dearly. She scoffed.
The moment Anisah saw her, she felt confused. Who was this woman, she thought. "Waleed" she immediately hugged him tightly.
"Kabira" he pulled out of the hug while signaling Anisah to sit. She did so and immediately greeted kabira "Asalamualaikum, Good Afternoon" she greeted kabira with a smile but she shot her a cold glare instead.
"Kabira this is Anisah. She is my friend" Waleed said to kabira on noticing how cold she was towards Anisah.
"Hi" Kabira said reluctantly.
"And Anisah this Is Kabira, The girl umma chose for me to marry" He said. She could feel the weight of his words land on her heart. Was he joking or was she dreaming. What was wrong with her and how could she had thought of something as stupid as loving Waleed. Her face immediately changed.
"Oh, Nice meeting you" Anisah said.
"Let's place our order. I'm starving" Waleed said. He called for a waiter who ran over to them and took their orders. Waleed ordered for Chinese and so did Kabira. But Anisah ordered for rice and beans.
The food was brought to them and they began eating with Kabira staring at Anisah irritatedly "Ani Can I eat with you, I don't like this food" Waleed said And Anisah nodded. He picked up a spoon and began eating with her while kabira watched. She was so furious seeing them looking so happy, why did Waleed like this lowlife. She thought. She faked receiving a call and placed her phone on her ear. When she was making a call she noticed the stone design on Anisahs clothe which spelt 'Waleed Akthar'. She immediately faked finishing the making the call and asked "Waleed did you design this clothe?" She asked.
"Yeah" Waleed responded.
"Its pretty" she faked a smile and added "It suits your color Anisah" She tried to make her jealousy unnoticed.
"Thank you" Anisah replies calmly.
"Well Waleed, Uhm the date was nice. I thought it would be us alone but you brought Anisah along" Kabira said with a fake smile "it was nice meeting you Anisah" She smiled. Anisah could tell clearly that Kabira wasn't happy with Waleed and Her. Certainly, Who would be happy to see her Fiancée with another woman. No one, Anisah knew that from now on she would have to be careful.
