Chapter 5
They both stared at each other with burning flames in their eyes. I'd recognize this blue eyes anywhere. Waleed thought as he stared into Anisah's enchanting blue eyes.
"Waleed what were you doing in the water, how were you even breathing?" Bilkis question made them break their staring contest.
"I was meditating" he deviated his attention to Bilkis face. "Meditating inside water!? That's a new one" Bilkis said.
"Can't you greet?" Waleed snapped at Anisah who was already lost in her train of thought.
"G..good evening" she said absentmindedly with her eyes looking away from Waleed's daring ones. He did not even answer.
"Bilkis let's go, I'm cold" Anisah said softly to Bilkis who nodded. They both swam away with Waleed watching Anisah intently. How did she learn how to swim. He thought.
Anisah climbed out of the swimming pool and adjusted her cap which was almost falling off. "Anisah please help me up" Bilkis said to Anisah who stretched her hands towards bilkis who immediately took it and climbed up.
"Waleed when are you leaving for your house!?" Bilkis asked Waleed who was still in the water.
"in the night" Waleed said before diving deep into the water again.
"Okay, I'll see you by then" Bilkis said and he Aroused once again from the water and nodded.
"Let's go" Anisah dragged Bilkis and they both walked away. Anisah could feel Waleed's eyes on her and she was right. He stared at her intently. How on earth did she change from garbage to recycled. Waleed thought as he swam out of the water. he wrapped a towel around his back and took a last glimpse of Anisah who was walking like a tortoise with Bilkis trailing besides her.
Indeed he was shocked as to how she had transformed, but that didn't change the fact that he disliked he disliked her allot.

It was around seven o'clock in the evening and Waleed sat in his car with his maid Labeelah by his side. Labeelah was overjoyed knowing she would be working for the madam's handsome son.
"Are you done?" Waleed said bluntly to the man who was helping him arrange his luggage in the boot.
"Yes sir" The man said with a nod and Waleed simply hummed at started up the engine. The minute he was about to reverse he saw Anisah's mum coming towards his car and he immediately halted and got right out of the car.
"Mummy" he said happily at the sight of his Nanny. She had taken care of him more than his own mother so he respected her.
"Waleed!" She said at the sight of the grown man in front of her.
"Mummy" he immediately engulfed her in a hug "I asked about you but i was told you traveled" Waleed said calmly immediately they broke the hug.
"Yes i did. The minute i found out you were leaving today i had to come see you" Anisah's mum said he smiled.
"Then I'm lucky you did" he said and she smiled. "Well i shouldn't hold you up, i think you should leave before it's late and do not fail to call me when you need my help" Anisah's mum said and he hugged her once again.
"I will mummy" he said. "Bye" he added before swifty entering into his car. He scrunched his nose at the bad odor that came from Labeelah. Oh how he hated bad odor.
"Bye bye" he tried his best to control his cool as he waved at Anisah's mum as he reversed backward. Labeelah's body odor was killing him.
The minute he arrived at the main gate of river street, he fired at Labeelah "Did you bath today at all?" he said in a very disgusted tone.
"Y..yes i..i did" Labeelah stammered due to fear and shock.
"You smell so bad" Waleed scrunched his face as he drove off in full speed. Labeelah felt ashamed and shocked at his words. Well what was she to expect from a rich spoilt brat. She thought.
In not less than one hour thirty minutes, they Arrived at Waleed's house which was a big duplex that looked just perfect for a family.
They both hooped out and Labeelah hurried to the boot which she opened and brought out Waleed's suitcase. She dragged his suitcase into the house with great difficulties and he cared not.
"Jaja!" He yelled the name of the gateman who had opened the gate for him.
"Help her" he commanded before walking into the house and Jaja did as told. Labeelah felt a little happy that he cared about her.

Presently Labeelah was in his room and arranging his stuffs in their rightful place while he watched her with a frown. He didn't know why but he hated her allot.
"You are a fool" he said the minute Labeelah was done arranging his bed.
"Sorry sir" she immediately mouthed with her head bowed to the ground.
"Is that how to arrange a room, you are an illiterate" he said in an angry pitched tone.
"I'm sorry sir" she apologized once again which got her a loud hiss.
"Get out! And please never come into this room again. Now i have to spray perfume here" he said which made a tear slip right out of her eyes. Yes she was indeed hurt and she hates him already.
"Get out!" He yelled when he saw that she wasn't making a move to leave. On hearing him yell, she immediately left his room while muttering insults at him.
"What a rude man!" She said as she walked down the stairs and into the kitchen where she was preparing rice and stew for him because he had requested for it. She immediately poured the food into a cooler and arranged it on a tray to take it to him.
When she was done arranging it, she immediately took it to the dinning table where she found him seated with his phone in his hand.
"Sir here is your food" she said calmly and he nodded for her to drop it and she did.
He opened the food slowly and was met with a perfectly cooked rice. At least she could do this right. He thought.
He took a serving spoon and dished the rice on a plate and poured sauce on it. Immediately the rice made a contact with his tongue, he threw it all away angrily.
"Fool!" He yelled and Labeelah ran into the dinning room knowing she was the one he was calling a fool.
"What the heck did you cook for me?" He asked.
"Rice and..." He interrupted her the minute she was about to complete her statement.
"You know what, just pack the plate" he said, he needed to control his anger before he hurts her.
Labeelah immediately did as told, within her she knew she had chosen hell by working with Waleed, who immediately went upstairs while muttering curses at her.
