Twist of luck 2

Aisha's POV

I don't like basketball but I have to do this for Layla, she comes here just to check on sulayman but lies to everyone even herself that basketball is the best game in the world.

I am pissed just sitting here and not understanding why grown up guys have to run after a ball to be thrown in a net. All ball games piss me off.

I can observe Layla watching with acute interest, I poked her laps just to distract her and she gave me some piece of her mind.

I chuckled, I love to annoy her sometimes.


Layla is my close friend, she's a sister I never had. She has an elder brother ridwan and a cute younger sister deliyah. Ridwan is my very own crush but not within grasp, he's  busy managing his dad's small company.

Layla knows I have a thing for her brother but I totally deny it every time.

I love going to layla's home on Saturday evening to get a glimpse of ridwan, she caught me a number of times staring at her brother but very good at denying her accusation.

Once, I went to layla's home on that Saturday just to check on her and my crush. Abbi was the one who opened the door for me. After saying my teslim I walked down the passage to the living room, I could hear ridwan's voice.

He's on a call with someone. His voice is so sweet and manly. sadly he is getting engaged in 2months time and I am overly sad because I had only hoped for him to like me later.

I got to the living room to sit as shyness overtook me, his voice is so audible now and I can deduct he's talking to his ummi. I tried not to eavesdrop as it is not allowed in my religion.

I took out my phone and texted Layla as I rested on the sofa.

Me: I am in the living room doll.

BFF: so what? Come upstairs.

Me: I can't, ridwan is standing close to the stairs. I am shy!

BFF: you are kidding me, the last person I know in this world to be shy wouldn't even be you! Try harder. Dhor........

Me: just come down silly.

BFF: trust me I won't and I bet you, akhi is staying there for long #tongues out.

Me: you are not the girl I used to know, where did this cruelty come from? I will be right there anyways.

BFF: suit yourself miss shy #lol.

I screamed in my head as I dropped my phone on the sofa and headed for the staircase.

"Asalam alaykum" I say in a low tone.

"walaykum salam" he replied in a coarse voice then turned slightly to wave at me returning back to his call.

I climbed the stairs gently, I don't want to mistakenly slip on this stairs.

I took a relief breath when I got to the top which took me like a 100hours to mount.

"Woooooooooooo I made it" I said to myself.

I opened layla's door qietly so I can play a fast one on her, she is on the bed typing out our project assignment with her back to me.

I tiptoed gently but got caught when deliyah shouted.

"ukti" she ran towards me hugging my leg. Layla turned and laughed loudly because she could see the disappointment look I wore.

I carried deliyah on my laps after sitting on the little stool beside the bed.

I tickled her gently as she giggled. She's so beautiful with Hazel eyes just like ridwan. I brushed her hair with my hand and was about throwing her up when....

"Deliiyaaahh" ridwan called from the living room.

My heart beat fastened, that voice has an effect on me.

I dropped deliyah after giving her the chocolates I got for her, she ran off pecking me. I stood up  to check our project work.

You like ridwan "she started immediately I sat on the bed".

Please don't start this phrase, your brother is getting engaged so you should be preparing on what sari you would wear instead of looking out for who likes him or not". I replied her tensing a bit.

"Ok" she raised her arms giving in to my words reluctantly.

She's a softy and never has the time to argue unlike me. I am sure she knows I am trying to shut her up.






***********************

Sitting here with Layla and waiting for her crush that doesn't even know of her existence. I don't have a problem with Layla crushing on someone.

I just don't like sulayman, he's proud and arrogant but Layla is too blind to see all this because of her love, yuck thinking about it disgusts me.

'Oh aishah you r just so mean, you don't even know him he's the coolest guy ever and am sure you would get to know soon'.

that's always her response anytime I get the time to tell her about him.

Myself and sulayman had couple of classes together in my freshman year and I have seen how rude and uncalled for his behavior is towards lecturers and everyone in total.

He's the only son of his almighty wealthy father and the successor to his multitude companies all over north korea. I guess that's what have gotten into him so he takes school like a piece of bread but does so well in his ball game,

Anyways that's the only thing he is good at.

******************
I have been sitting here for over 15minutes and Layla is not back yet, I took a deep breath and counted 1-10 in my head to cool off the anger rising in my blood.

I am very hot tempered and I take no nonsense from anyone. There's practically no one in the court and I am beginning to get worried.

I scrunched my nose in disgust.

"Hello" I said into the phone as I dialed her number.

"Hello aishah, i am so sorry.. I will be right there immediately" she said hunging up quickly.

I placed my palms on my face and folded my arms afterwards. Layla Is up to something and she must tell me asap. I waited for five minutes more and stood up.

Enough I won't just sit here. I packed our bags and moved out of the court. Its 10mins to asr(prayer) and I need to change my clothes. i have to get home Soon.

I moved towards the dorm and hasten my speed when all I could hear was bird chirpings. The school is almost empty and I am really getting scared.

I got to the back of the dorm and Layla is nowhere to be found, not even a single soul lurking around.

I took out my phone and dialed her number three times "no response".

I hastened my speed and moved forward and saw sulayman towards the garden coming out of the entrance looking so stupid. Allah knows I don't have any human feelings for this guy.

"by the way why is he here?" I thought.

I hissed in my head ignoring the throbbing question and walked up to him.

"have you seen Layla" I threw my words at him like I saw him take her.

He looked at me from head to toe and tried walking away ignoring me.

Oh Allah I hate this boy, I pulled on his jersey pushing him backward and now he was facing me.

"have you seen Layla" I repeated my words but this time screaming like he stole from me.

"get your filthy hands off my clothes, check her in the garden" he said irritably brushing my hands off his jersey like I was some dirt.

A normal me would have insulted him but I have my friend to check on. "what if he had hurt her". I widened my eyes.

I ran into the garden and saw Layla sitting on the floor beside a swing holding her head.

I rushed towards her.

"Layla are you ok" I asked worriedly walking towards her.

I got close to her and knelt beside her.

"what is wrong doll?" I asked turning her face.

She looked at me and I could see tears had filled her eyes and entire face.

"Take me home" she said weakly passing out in my arms.
