Noor was about to sleep when she heard a knock on the door , she quickly put in her hijab and opened the door .
'Were you about to sleep ? ' Fatima asked when she noticed the scrambled blanket in the bed signifying that someone was lying on it .
'Yes ' Noor shortly replied
' Actually Abba wants to speak to you ' Fatima said and awkwardly rubbed her neck .
'Alright let's go ' Noor replied and gently closed the door behind her .
Noor followed behind Fatima who then led her to the same living room she first saw Abba .
Abba's sitting on the sofa just next to the side table and then Zayyad in the opposite sofa .
Fatima walked and sat on the free sofa while Noor sat beside Fatima even though there are other free sofas in the living room .
'Abba see her here ' Fatima said and pointed at Noor with her middle finger .
'Fatima , how many times will I tell you to stop pointing at peoples with that finger , you point with your index finger ' Zayyad said in a tiring voice .
Fatima gasped dramatically and said 'Ya Zayyad , you've only told me that once when I pointed at Kabir , you only tell me that when I point at people you care about so..'
'You're getting it all wrong Fatima ' Zayyad said and Fatima was about to reply when Abba said 'enough you two '
Abba usually doesn't sound strict , but anytime he is strict,they know better than to provoke him .
'So Noor , it's about your education, I want to join you in the same University with Fatima ' . Abba said and stopped before continuing. 'so what do you think ? '
Noor offered a short smile and said 'I'm fine with it sir '
'Call me Abba , you're also my child too ' Abba said and walked out of the place .
'I've made my decision' Noor said now turning to fully face Zayyad .
'About ? ' Zayyad asked .
'Wether to reveal your secret to Abba or not ' Noor replied.
'And what have you decided ? ' Zayyad asked while Fatima interestingly listen to both of them .
'I'll not tell him but on one condition. ' Noor answered raising her index finger to indicate the one .
'Stop trying to act smart ' Zayyad said and dropped his phone beside him .
'No I'm actually serious here ' Noor replied
'What's your condition ? ' He asked
'You Zayyad will never every say no to Nooriya Aminu ' Noor answered.
'As in how ? ' Zayyad asked with a frown of confusion .
'As in you will never say 'No' to anything I ask you to do ' Noor replied .
'And if I say no ? ' Zayyad asked
'You should be able to guess what will happen ' Noor answered
'What will happen ? ' Zayyad asked
' I will break the bottle that contains your secret and share what is inside to Abba ' Noor replied .
'Hmm' Zayyad sighed and said 'Accepted '
'Great ! ' Noor exclaimed
Zayyad got up and was about to leave when Noor stopped him by calling his name .
'Zayyad ' Noor said and he turned to face her and his sister .
'Smile ..' Noor said and pointed at her smiley face .
'Are you mad ? ' Zayyad asked sarcastically.
'Smile ! ' Noor said once more .
'No ! ' Zayyad replied .
'Okay then , I'll just go to Abba now ' Noor said .
Zayyad sighed in defeat and gave a short smile that showed his deep dimples .
'Good boy ! ' Noor said and Zayyad went out leaving the two girls behind .
'What are you planning Noor ? ' Fatima inquisitively asked .
'Just wait and watch Fatima , I'll change your brother ' Noor said.
'But how ? ' Fatima asked
'His heart shade can't be entirely black, he still has some light in his shade . I can see that ' Noor replied and Fatima believed what she said hoping it's true .
'I think I'm going to bed now ' Noor said and yawned shortly after .
'I was actually planning to go out ' Fatima said and Noor's eyes widen in shock.
'To where ? I mean it's after 9pm now ' Noor said checking her wristwatch.
'Calm down ... I'm going to Bilkisu's house ' Fatima replied .
'Who's that ? ' Noor asked .
'A friend , they live just two houses away from this house ' Fatima replied .
'Do you want to join me ? ' Fatima asked Noor who then shook her head and said 'No I'm really feeling sleepy now '.
Noor went back to her room while Fatima left for Bilkisu's house .
