*Nuriya*

I am feeling really anxious at the moment, I'm currently sitting on the passenger's sit in Jafar's car, I didn't have time to admire the interior of the luxurious car cause I had lied to him that I lived just around the corner, I just hope that I'm able to pull this one off.
He has done enough for me that I didn't want to be a burden to him anymore, I really love the orange dress he got me, it suits my skin tone so well 'his wife is really lucky' I thought to myself, I wonder if he's married? Anyways I couldn't bring myself to ask him that.

Nuriya: "you can drop me off here Sir" he looked at me for a sec, and then he stopped in front of the children's park

Jafar: "Here? Why?" looking confused

Nuriya: "I don't want to go home right now, so I'll just hang out here for a while" I said reassuring him with a smile, he sighed and agreed 'that was easy' .
He dropped me off and soon he was on his way, I sat on a bench and thought about how my life would turn out from now on. At the park, some children were playing, with their mothers keeping a close eye on them, there were also some girls laughing at something, spending quality time with each other, some were with their spouses, while I was just here thinking of a roof over my head.
I placed my head in my hands on my laps and cried, I cried so hard that I started to feel sick. And just then a really good cologne that I'm getting used to hit me, and at that moment I realised who it was, I stood up abruptly to a familiar handsome face.

Jafar: "Now that you are done lying, can you be honest with me now?" I felt shame "just so you know, you're a really bad liar" he said that while sitting down, I joined him slowly

Jafar: "you don't have anywhere to go right?" he was looking at me intensely, I knew I couldn't lie to him because it's obvious he's smart and won't fall for anything I say that easily
"I knew you were lying because no one called or even came to visit you in the hospital, which was really weird and your phone has no single contact which is also weird, so explain to me"

Nuriya : "I'm sorry about that, I just don't want to be a burden t..." he cut me off

Jafar: "Just tell me what happened and no more lies, please"

Nuriya: "Okey, the truth is I'm not from here, I just arrived the day the accident happened." I said without looking at him "I have no one, no friends or family, I'm just here to start a new life" I faked a smile, looking at him

Jafar: "I'm sorry to hear about that, but where are your parents?"

Nuriya: "I grew up without knowing who they were, my guardian told me that my mother left with another man to this very city, trust me I'm not here to look for her, I hardly think about her to be honest." I said with all honesty, she had no right to abandon me but she did, I just pray she's doing okay wherever she is, right now I'm only worried about myself. I heard him sighed, I could tell he pittied me but I didn't want that, I don't want anyone's pity

Jafar: "but what happened to your guardian?"

Nuriya: "she brought lots of men home, which made it uncomfortable, especially when they started throwing glances at me. She got tired of it, so she threw me out" I said shrugging like I didn't care, while deep down my heart was about to split.
She took care of me ever since I could remember, why did she have to do that, I turned to look at him to see him lost in his thoughts.

Jafar: " I feel so lost of words, I'm sorry you had to go through all of that" he said while getting up "let's go" I raised an eyebrow at him, standing up, I replied

Nuriya : "where are we goi.."

Jafar: "let's just go" he said walking towards his car to open the door for me, I sighed and entered the car, it's not like I have anywhere else to go.

I would be lying if I wasn't in awe right now, we arrived at an estate to this really beautiful flat, it has four rooms, a big beautiful living room, the interior was amazing. The house also has a garage with a brand new car parked there, with flowers beautifully decorated close to the fences. It made me wonder how rich he is, because he told me that this place belongs to me alone from now on, meaning he has his own house. It was a relief knowing that we won't be living together, I looked at him with uncertainty.

Jafar: "What?" he asked, "you are staying here and that's final! " is he always this commanding? I looked away and smiled,

Nuriya: "I don't think I can ever repay you for this, thank you so much for everything" I said sincerely "You are a blessing in my life so much that I'm happy that accident happened"

Jafar: "shh! Hey! It's nothing, I'm just glad I can help" he said with a genuine smile, "I sent some money to your account, try to explore the city, and get some clothes, can you drive?"
I simply nodded my head innocently, why is he so kind to me?

Nuriya: "thanks a lot, but how did you know my account number? " I asked, somewhat confused

Jafar: "I have my ways" he winked at me, "anyways, I'm happy you can drive... "
He was cut off by the ringing of his phone, he went close to the dining area to receive the call, I could tell he wasn't happy

Jafar :" okay fine, I'm on my way home" he hung up and came back to me a little disappointed "I have to go Nuriya, it's urgent"

Nuriya: "No it's okay, I'll just use the opportunity to settle in" reassuring him with a smile, he smiled back

Jafar: "alright then, I'll call you"

Nuriya: " Okey" still smiling, I escorted him outside, the gate man opened the gate and then he left in his really cool spots car. I checked my phone to see that he sent a million Naira to my account, my eyes widen.
I feel so lucky and blessed, I don't know what I have done to deserve everything I have now but, I'm so grateful, thank you so much ya Allah.

                      *Maria*

I'm so pissed at this creature kneeling in front of me, she really have guts to come back here after stealing from us and ran away, what nerve! She was wearing a short hijab I gave her and a nice Ankara gown underneath. She looks a lot younger than her age and beautiful too, as much as I hate to admit it

Yusrah: " I'm so sorry ma'am, I promise this won't happen again, I don't have anywhere else to go" the 49 year old  sobbed even harder, she has no idea that it has no effect on me.

Maria: "Inna Yusra, you should know that you are only wasting your time. I don't care what your excuse is, just get out of my house!" I yelled, making her flinch

Jafar: "Enough Maria!" Jafar walked in and helped her up, what is his problem now? "Are you OK Inna?" I rolled my eyes at his kindness

Maria: "Jafar jokes aside, she can't stay!"

Jafar: "Says who? This is also my house sweetie" he stated clearly

Maria : "Sure it's also your house but I'm the lady of this house, you are barely at home anyways, so why should I have to put up with this old..."

Jafar: "Maria!"

Maria: "What? Jafar! What?" I yelled back and sat on the couch folding my hands

Yusra: "Sir, I promise you that I didn't steal from you, I was set up, I couldn't ever do that to you, I'm sorry" she said joining her hands together, what a liar

Jafar: "You don't need to apologise Inna, just go to your room and have some rest. I know you couldn't do such a thing"
She thanked us both and went to her old room, at this point I was glaring at my husband but he didn't seem to care, he just walked pass me and went upstairs (I hate that man!).
