“Wow... and I thought my holiday is eventful.” Samira said.

“Tell me about it” I replied adjusting the laptop screen. I was on a video call with a friend from school. I had decided I needed a new opinion on the drama that was my life.

“And now mama wants us to go over to baba's place.”

“Uhm... Najma, don’t you think that’s like running away. I mean I feel like you should actually face the problem once and for all.”

“I know... I’m just so very tired of everything.” I groaned.

“Don't worry, everything will be okay.”

“Thanks Sams. I should let mama know of my decision.”

“Yeah, anyway sha keep me updated on what is happening on Keeping up with Najma Barde.”

I laughed before she hung up. I closed the laptop and went downstairs looking for mama. She was answering a call when I entered the living room. I sat near her, my legs folded under me.

“Alright. Good bye” she said ending the call. She turned to me and smiled.

“Finally decided to come out of your room?” I sighed.

“Yeah... mama, about the trip, you should go on without me. I have issues I need to sort out” I explained, she frowned studying me before nodding.

“Very well, if that’s what you want.” She agreed. I smiled and she smiled back. I leaned back and we spent the rest of the day watching TV.

                             ********

The days to mama's trip drew closer. I rarely left the house and with my phone off, I had nobody to talk to which I was not bothered about.

It was a Saturday and mama was travelling the next day. She had sent me on an errand and I was making my way into the house.

I could hear voices from the living room. I entered and saw Anty Rabi seated with my mum.

“Good evening Anty” I greeted her.

“Good evening Najma. Look at how good you look; this holiday is doing wonders to you.” She complimented. I smiled and handed mama the package.

“I hope you have packed your bag?” Aunt Rabi asked me.

“Oh, no. I am not accompanying mama" I said.

“Oh God. I knew I was forgetting something. Thank you so much Rabi. Najma you are going over to Aunt Rabi's place till I come back.”

No

No way

Living under the same roof as Khalifa?!!!
God no!!!!

“B...but I’ll be okay here alone or I can stay with Sulaiman” I argued.

“No buts, it’s already settled now go pack a box.” Mama ordered.

I sighed and left them, going up to my room to start packing.

50 minutes later I was all packed and my box was inside the trunk of Aunt Rabi's car. I hugged mama one last time, tempted to change my mind and follow her to France.

“Good bye. Safe trip” I murmured. She smiled at me and I got into the car with Aunt Rabi.

“Don’t worry; you won’t notice she's even gone. Khalifa is around to keep you preoccupied.” She assured patting my hand.

I forced a smile.

If only you knew.
