Fate

My alarm ring twice before I woke up and switched the annoying thing off. I really hate mornings especially Monday morning but I have no choice than to wake up. It is only six am, I should probably be sleeping considering I came back home late but I can’t.I moved the blanket aside and rubbed my eyes as I stretched my eyes a loud yawn escaped my mouth. I stood up and stretched my way to the drawer to take out my work clothes which is a black fitted skirt, a white t-shirt with the word Amees Bakery printed in a bold black and I take out my flat shoes. I’m supposed to be wearing a white canvas but didn’t have much money to spare on a single pair of shoes.I grabbed my towel and head to the bathroom. Starting a quick shower and going to brush my teeth and fix my hair.My name is Afraah, I’m fair in complexion, I’m five feet two inches, my lips are thick and pink, I have a pointed nose, brown eyes and I’m quite slim. I live with my stepmother who has three children and my younger brother

I arrived at the bakery shop a bit late, I can’t afford a car nor a taxi ride right now so I had no choice but to walk my way to the bakery even though it’s no way near my house."Good morning" I smile at Nadia who didn’t look like she was happy a good morning. "You are late young lady," Nadia said Nadia is the person in charge of bakery store. She makes sure everyone comes on time and everything is arranged before the store opens.She is dark in complexion, she isn’t tall maybe at about five feet one inches if not less. She is fat, her eyes are brown, she has a round-shaped nose and her lips are thick and brown. "I’m so sorry, I can ex….""Less talking more working" She instantly interrupted "Yes ma’am" I said before I entered the backdoor. "Hi Afraah" Amal smiled as she walked closer to meAmal is my best friend or should I say she’s only friend. She is fair in complexion, she is the same height as me, she has a pointed nose, small heart-shaped lips and she’s a bit chubby."Hi

As I entered the ward, I saw Khalil watching a cartoon, he glanced at me with a smile on his face."How are you feeling" I said walking closer to him"I’m fine, did you bring my clothes?"What clothes? Why do I keep forgetting things? "I forgot about your clothes." I said "Come on, I know you didn’t forget so just give me." He demanded "I’m serious Khalil, I forgot I’m sorry""I will just manage this clothe I’m wearing despite they are a bit dirty and stained" He rolled his eyes I know he is just saying this to make me feel bad, but is not my fault that I forgot about the clothes. I looked at him and he furrowed his face "Seriously, are we doing this right now." I said "Yes we are.""Come on Khalil, I didn’t mean to forget about it." I pouted "Anyway, when are we leaving?" He asked “Immediately the rain stops.""Okay." He signed I walked towards the window and peeked at it, I don’t think the rain will stop anytime soon. "I will go check if I can find a cab nearby" I said

I woke up to a disturbing noise of music, I turned around and kept a small pillow on my ear to prevent me from listening to the music but unfortunately, I could still hear it, I decided to ignore it as I was very tired I kept turning around before I felt a cold liquid on my body.I screamed as I touched my body I realize it was water. Who poured water on me?I used the back of my hand to rub my eyes after I let out a short yawn."Noor," I said in a sleepy voice What is she doing here? "It’s time for you to wake up" Noor said "It’s just midnight, why are you here?""Get up and prepare something for Jamil and Hannan, they have to go to school.""It’s not time for their school, just go back to sleep I have already set an alarm.""Get up" She yelled I looked at her in silence when I realized she woke me up by pouring water on me"How dare you pour water on me" I yelled "Oh it’s now you realized that, well if you don’t behave I have to do this every day.""Look Noor, it’s just thr

I came back earlier than usual today, Noor wasn’t home and she took the pantry key with her. Jamil and Hannan had already arrived from school and were starving, I tried calling her phone several times but she didn’t pick up.I checked the fridge for some leftovers but there weren’t any, I decided to buy some packs of instant noodles and cook for them. After I did they kept on complaining about how the food is dry and had no veggies in it, I calmed them down and explained to them despite I explained they blamed me for Noor’s behavior, they said it was my fault Noor took the key with her and if I wasn’t stealing the foodstuffs, Noor would have left the key with me. I didn’t feel bad as I knew it wasn’t them talking but those words were Noor’s, she must have told them to say that. I didn’t beg them to eat the food when they said they won’t eat a food with no veggies in it, but after they watched Khalil eating the food with no complaints they began eating.Soon, I had already done all my
