I know he's handsome, no incredibly handsome because I never saw anyone more handsome than he is.
But how can he called me ugly duckling, no one ever called me that.
"Mr Man I know I bumped into you accidentally, which result me on puking and ruining your clothes with mud which I'm very sorry for that. I hope you can be a gentleman and forgive me please" I sincerely apologized to him.
"I won't be a gentleman and forgive you, who do you think you are that you speak to me like this?" He yelled at me.
"Do not yelled at me! Just because I bumped into you that result in ruining your clothe that doesn't meant you'll speak to me like this.
"I apologized to you what more do you want?" I irritatedly said to him.
"You bumped into me and you have the gut to talk to me like this ugly duckling or would I say dingy girl?" He said glaring at me.
This man was in no way of letting this go, and he even called me ugly duckling, let me show him his place.
"Oh Mr handsome man, you know what neither in my life have I seen someone more ugly than you.
"And I'm even thinking how can one person be so ugly like this, Tubarakallah Masha Allah, thank you God that I'm not ugly like some people.
"That's why you're getting angry at everything, I'm sorry for your ugliness Mister handsome man" I told him.
I know he would be quite angry in what I told him.
"How dare you said that to me, what's with you poor people in downgrading we the rich?
"Especially you girls you love money that much that you can do anything about it to get it.
Do you want money from me that you can't keep your mouth shut?"
"Sorry for you, you can't get a single penny from me" He finished insulting me sending daggers down my way.
Money money money.
The thing that never bothered me though we're not rich but someone today insult me because he have money.
I don't know what's wrong with some rich people that if they have money they started treating the poor poorly instead of helping them.
Ya Allah please don't ever make me treat any human being like this.
"Screw your money, you know what your richness is from Allah, and He made you rich just to test you, to see whether you would make use of it to help the poor and the Muslim ummah as a whole.
"But in what I saw you're not doing that instead you're downgrading people because you're rich. You should please change your habits before it's too late" I advised him hoping that he would get it.
"Don't lecture me dingy girl" He said harshly.
Such a egoistic man.
"Khaleel what happened to your clothe and why are you arguing with this girl?" Some man who just came and was the same age as him asked him.
Oh his name was even Khaleel.
"Hammad ask this dingy girl, she spoiled my clothe and she had the gut to insult me" Khaleel replied to the person's question.
"Whatever it is calm done and let it go please, see the crowd you formed. Pretty girl I'm sorry for his behaviour please forgive him" Hammad said as I heard him called him that.
"You're even apologizing to her like it's my fault" Khaleel said.
"Please let's go bye pretty girl till we meet again" Hammad waved at me as he dragged Khaleel away from the place, I waved and smiled at him too.
Hammad was not like Khaleel from all indication and he's nice.
He was his friend maybe.
After they left, l went to the washroom leaving the crowd.
After I cleaned where the mud spoilt my clothe, I found a seat and sat down.
Not up to two minutes of me sitting down I saw Ammi coming out from the ward and we left the hospital.
Flashback ends.
By the time Fadimatuu finished narrating what transpired between Akhi and her, Zaynab and Ameerah were laying on the ground laughing like maniacs and holding their stomach.
"What's funny in what I finished narrating to you two?" Fadimatuu asked them.
"Everything was funny, I even imagined Akhi's face when mud was all over his clothe and your puking" Zaynab said laughing hard as tears came out of her eyes.
"Yes Zaynab it's very funny, our Akhi and mud, he clean freak" Ameerah said too laughing.
"You remember that day when I spilled coffee on his clothe, he scold me like I did some big mistake" Zaynab told them.
"Yeah I remember" Ameerah replied her laughing.
"I think I remembered the day when this thing happened, Akhi returned home with mud all over his clothes and when I asked him he shout at me and went into his part.
"But My Hero told me he had a fight with a girl and she spoiled his clothes with mud.
"I was too shocked when he told me because I know Akhi hate girls and there was no girl who dared to cross his way. But I didn't knew Fadimatuu was the girl" Zaynab told them.
Making all the three of them laughed and did high fives.
"And who is your hero?" Ameerah aksed her in a teasing manner.
"He's Akhi's best friend, Hammad" Zaynab answers her.
"Oh Hammad was very nice" Fadimatuu said.
"Yeah I agree with you" Zaynab said yawning.
"Girls let's sleep I'm tired" She told them.
"Me too I'm exhausted from narrating what happened" Fadimatuu replied her.
And with that they fell asleep.
********
Khaleel went home quite angrily, he didn't bother to enter the main house instead he went straight to his part.
When he opened the door to his part he found Hammad sitting in the living room.
"So you're back, I have being waiting for you" Hammad told him staring at his clothe.
"And what happened to your clothe" He said again.
Khaleel just ignored him and went inside his room.
Hammad went after him into the room and said
"Hey man I'm talking to you and you're ignoring me"
"Please leave me alone as you can see I'm not in the mood" Khaleel replied him.
"What happened to you and see your clothes they are spoilt and you're even smelling of puke" Hammad said.
"Let me take a shower and I would tell you what happened" Khaleel said as he entered the walk in closet leading to the bathroom.
When he took the shower, he came out dressed in sweat pant and jersey.
He found Hammad laying down on his bed pressing his phone.
"Am all ears, tell me what really happened" Hammad said immediately he noticed Khaleel sitting down beside him.
"You would be shocked if I told you who I met today and on top of that, that person was with my sisters" Khaleel told him getting angry remembering what happened today.
"Don't leave me in the dark, tell me who was this person" Hammad said sitting down.
"It's that dingy girl the one we met at the hospital one month ago that puked on me" Khaleel replied him not wanting to talk about it.
"Seriously you met that pretty girl again" Hammad laughed remembering the awesome girl that dared to humiliate his best friend.
"And you know what she puked on me once again, I don't know what with this girl and puking on people" Khaleel said glaring at his friend for laughing at his situation.
"I must thank this girl for puking on you again, that pretty girl literally made you speechless that day because nobody ever talked to you like that" Hammad told him trying to suppressed his laughter looking at the murderous glares Khaleel was sending him.
"You know she's the reason that we didn't visit Ashraf that day" Khaleel said remembering their friend that's what met with an accident that day.
They came to visit Ashraf who met with an accident, Hammad forgot to brought the gifts they bought for the sick that's why he's the only person that Fadimatuu bumped to.
He was passing through the Gynaecology ward that's when he bumped into her.
"Yeah she is but let it be, she's a nice girl. Do you perhaps know her name?" Hammad asked him.
"Yes her name is Fadimatuu that's what I heard Abu and Ameerah called her, she's even Ameerah's cousin" Khaleel replied him.
"Fadimatuu what a pretty name for a pretty girl" Hammad said admiringly.
"If you finished admiring her can we go to the mosque?" Khaleel asked him standing up from the bed.
"Yes let's go" Hammad replied him standing up too.
