Waleeda nodded with a sigh . They all sat in the parlor waiting for the two to be back from their discussion .
Kamil returned with Hibbatullah behind him , though Waleeda wasn't pleased to see the girl coming back into the house yet she kept quiet just like Khadijah.
Waleeda noticed the uneasiness on Kamil's face , he looks different after he's back from whatever he discussed with Hibbatullah .
"Mama.. I have a request " Kamil stared speaking .
Khadijah took a deep breath to calm the burning rage of anger she's feeling in her delicate heart . "I'm listening.." She answered permitting him to say his request.
"Hibbatullah needs a place to stay in for the meantime.. I was thinking.." Kamil started but his sentence for broken up by Waleeda's loud word .
"No ! " Waleeda shouted even before Kamil finish saying his own .
Suddenly all the eyes were on Waleeda, everyone was surprised . Waleeda turned away slightly embarrassed and decided to keep her mouth shut for the rest of the talk .
Kamil cleared his throat and continued speaking regardless of Waleeda's suggestion "Mama.. she needs a place to stay ..so I was thinking maybe she could stay here till her house is ready.."
Khadijah wanted to shout a 'No ! ' just like how Waleeda did yet she doesn't like to say 'No' to her children especially Kamil who had faced a lot of life traumas .
"Only for your sake Kamil . " Khadijah said signifying that she has accepted his request .
That was the last statement she made before storming upstairs in dire need to talk things out with Muhsin when he's back .
Khalil left the place too and followed his mother upstairs leaving the three humans in the large living room .
"Where will she stay toh ? " Waleeda asked trying her best to hide her jealousy which didn't really work , regardless of the fact that she knows they're obviously many guest rooms in the house yet something just made her to ask .
Kamil turned to look at the questioner , for a moment, Waleeda could swear that those pretty eyes could see her .
"Obviously in one of the guest rooms " Kamil replied and left the living room immediately after he said that .
"Let me show you the guest room " Waleeda offered even though she herself doesn't know where the guest rooms are located .
However, Hibbatullah was quick to reply "I think you've forgotten that I was once in this house years ago so I know exactly where the guest room is"
Waleeda feel more than curious to know why Hibbatullah is back so she asked "Why are you back ? "
"To take what's mine obviously.. " Hibbatullah replied as bold as ever .
"Kamil was never yours! " Waleeda sparked surprised at how her voice turned out so loud .
"I know that man more than you Waleeda , you are not meant for him , Your name was written next to someone and that person is definitely not Kamil ! " Hibbatullah uttered .
"If you really know Kamil then you should know that he hates the smell of heavy makeup on girls , just like your makeup , you should also know that he doesn't like girls that betray him and then decided to return to make his life worse ! " Waleeda voiced out .
Hibbatullah didn't utter another word rather she sharply stared at Waleeda as if she's been offended , the place was mute for some seconds .
Waleeda and Hibbatullah were staring daggers at each other until when Hibbatullah turned and left into the direction that Waleeda presumed it to be the guest room corridor .
