"Akhi you're coming back to pick me right?" Zaynab batted her eyelashes.
"No I'm not coming back, you should call one of the drivers to pick you as I'm busy today" He replied her.
"Okay" She glumly said and ambulated out of the car.
"Sorry sis, it's because I've work that's why, but next time in sha Allah" He tried to consoled her as he ambulated out of the car too.
"Promise" she replied him.
"Yes promise, now let me accompany you to your lecture hall" He said holding her hand.
"Is that not Khaleel Siddiqui"
"Yes he's the one"
"Damn he's very handsome"
"I heard that they return to Nigeria some months ago"
"Who is this girl with him"
"She's his sister, I think her name is Zaynab"
They heard the whisperings of student as they're going to the lecture hall but they just ignored them and continue walking.
Zaynab see the glimpse of Fadimatuu, Ameerah and Aaminah standing beside the lecture hall.
"Fadimatuuuuu" Zaynab yelled her name as she untangled her hands from Khaleel's and ran to Fadimatuu giving her a bone crushing hug.
"I miss you very much girl" Zaynab murmured from the hug.
"I miss you more" she replied her.
"Hi" Ameerah waved her hand at Zaynab's face when they broke out of the hug.
"You won't give me a hug too" Ameerah said feighing hurt.
"Do I know you?" Zaynab replied her jokingly and walk pass her and give Aaminah who just stand watching them a hug too.
"Finally I met Fadimatuu's best friend" Zaynab said smiling when they broke out of the hug.
"Me too, nice to meet you" Aaminah replied her.
"I felt left out" Ameerah whined.
"Come let me hug you so that you'll be at peace" Zaynab hugged her too.
Fadimatuu's eyes darted to Khaleel who was standing quietly watching them.
When their eyes mate they glared at each other.
"Oh Akhi we left you standing" Ameerah said immediately she noticed him.
"Assalamu alaikum Akhi" Ameerah said again.
"Waakaikumussalam Ameerah" He said smiling a bit as that dingy girl's face ruined his mood.
"Aaminah meet my older brother" Zaynab introduced Khaleel to her.
"Assalamu alaikum" Aaminah said saalam to him.
"Waalaikumussalam" He replied her.
He looked at Fadimatuu who's pretending to be pressing her phone.
She can't even said salam to him, it's not like he cared.
"Fadimatuu you didn't see Akhi" Ameerah teasingly said knowing that they're not on good terms.
"Oh I didn't noticed him until now, Assalamu alaikum" Fadimatuu faked a smile as she look at him.
He glared at her in return not answering her salam.
"I'm going now" He told Zaynab.
"Okay bye Akhi" Zaynab hugged him and he hugged her back.
He leave the place walking majestically as always.
Every student present, their eyes were on them throughout their conversation.
The females student drooled at his handsome face and the way he walked like he's afraid of touching the ground.
The males ones were jealous of his handsome face.
"Let's enter the lecture hall" Fadimatuu said and they nod at her entering the hall.

"Huh finally we're going home after the long lecture" Ameerah yawned.
"Yes that Physics lecturer is not nice at all, he's so grumpy" Aaminah said.
"Do you see the way he's teaching us like we already knew it" Zaynab joined in the conversation.
"That's university for you girls, let's go and grab some food I'm famished" Fadimatuu rubbed her stomach.
"I'm hungry too" Zaynab said too.
They head towards the cafeteria and found a seat and sit down.
"Good evening" The waiter greeted them giving them the menu.
"Good evening" they replied him.
Zaynab went through the menu first and told her order "I want fried rice with peppered chicken and Chapman"
"What about you girls?" She asked them.
"The same order as yours" Fadimatuu replied her and all of them agreed on Zaynab's order.
"Do you see that girls, that asked me to give them Akhi's phone number" Zaynab chewed her food laughing.
"Yes some girls are shameless, how can you asked for a guy's number that doesn't even know you" Ameerah said laughing too.
"They were like can you give me your brother's number, the person that they're asking for his number that don't even like girls" Zaynab laughed again.
"Leave some girls and breaking their self respect" Aaminah said.
"Hmm" Fadimatuu hummed listening to their conversation.
"Or you too wants Akhi's phone number" Ameerah asked wiggling her eyebrows.
"God forbid" Fadimatuu irritatedly said.
They just laughed at her.
"I'm waiting for the day when you two would like each other" Zaynab said amidst of laughing.
"You have to wait forever" Fadimatuu replied her.
"Uhm we'll see" Ameerah said.
"We gonna remind her of what she said when the day comes" Aaminah said and they do high fives with Ameerah and Zaynab but she just glared a them in return.
After they finished eating, each of them set out to go home.
"Fadimatuu and Aaminah let's go together so that I can drop you" Zaynab told them.
"Hey they're going with me" Ameerah glared at Zaynab.
"Did I mention your name?" Zaynab asked her making Ameerah to rolled her eyes.
"To avoid fighting, we're not going with either of you" Fadimatuu said knowing these two can start fighting about it.
"I don't agree with you, you're going with me and that's final." Zaynab dragged them towards the car.
"Okay ma" Aaminah said.
"That's cheating Zaynab" Ameerah groaned.
"Bye Ameerah" Zaynab stuck her tongue at her as they settled down in the back seat of the car.
"Don't mind her Ameerah" Fadimatuu tried suppressing her laughter.
Ameerah ignored her as she went towards her car as the driver is already waiting for her.
They shook their heads laughing at her.
"Assalamu alaikum" Zaynab's driver said salam to them.
"Waakaikumussalam" They replied him.
"Where are we going?" He asked them.
"Rijiyar Zaki" Zaynab replied him.
"Oh it's near here" He said and she nod.
They showed him the way until he arrives at the front of their house.
They thanked Zaynab as they ambulated of the car.
"See you tomorrow" Fadimatuu waved at her.
Aaminah waved at her too.
