***Two days later***
Maryam's POV
I fluttered my eyes opened as I saw my self lying on a beautiful queen size bed in an unknown room. "What am I doing here?" I thought trying to recall all what had happened then, I remembered how I had left home and was almost rape but some men saved me and the lady with that gown, she look so much like me.
"You're awake" I heard a voice almost similar to mine.
I looked up at her and saw a same replica of me. What's happening? Could this be the same person Kareem had saw? Of course she's the one, we had the same face, nose, eyes and the worst, our voice almost similar too.
"You're... You're ". I stuttered as I can't find the right word to say.
"I'm your sister". She squealed as she took me off guard and embraced me into a tight hug. I don't know if I was the one assuming this GS but her hug held so many emotions.
******
"So, we....we're twins?". I asked. She had told me when I was unconscious, they had taken my blood and tested it with hers which match. She hummed. "Yes, we're".
"I can't believe this. I had always prayed to give birth to a twins and here you're!". She squealed.
"Sister?". I called out to no one in particular, had just wanted to feel how it sound.
"Mmm" she hummed.
"I have a sister? You're my sister?". I asked as I again engulf her in a tight hug. We both cried for some few minutes before we finally both pull apart.
"But, how did we end up this way? I mean, how comes you got separate from us?". I asked her.
"I really can't answer your question. I was adopted by my late parent and knows nothing else. But, there's only one way to find out, our parents". She said.
"But, they are dead".
"What?!...who...who's dead?!"
"Yes sis....mom had died when I was a year old and father died sixteen years ago".
"Innalilahi wa'ina illaihi raji'un (from God we came from and to Him we shall return back to)"
"You mean, I didn't get to see my own real parent before they left?!". She asked crying.
"Can you tell me, how they both died?".
"Like I've said, I was still young when Mom had died, Dad told me she died due to a heart disease. And Dad? he died in accident".Then, I told her everything.
"Innalilahi wa'ina illaihi raji'un (from God we came from and to Him we shall return back to)". She wept in tears.
"So, do you live with them now?".
"Yes....before I was married".
"You're married?! Then, what are you doing out there the other day? Don't you know, it's dangerous?! You could have been dead or something horrible might have happened to you! What were you searching for at that late hour!" She ask glaring.
Gosh! she's no any way patience like me, very hard to deal with.
I told her all she needed to know, from the day Dad had died and when Kareem was threatening me that resort to me leaving the house out of fear.
"How dare that woman?! Didn't she have children also? You're a kid, you didn't even know what our parent did to them, and she's passing the aggression on you?". She asked giving a humorous laugh.
"And, how dare that husband of yours! How dare him treat my sister that way?! I think, he needs to be thought a good lesson. Just because he's a billionaire doesn't mean I can't sue him! I'll surely sue him to court. Suleiman! Suleiman!" She called.
"Yes madam". He answered as he rushed into the room.
"Go get me my phone". She ordered sternly.
My God! This sister of mine is very crazy. I wonder whom she take after? Well, isn't it obvious, apparently Dad is the very gentle type of a person. Though, not sure of Mom.
"Hey sis, calm down will you?". I asked rolling my eyes.
"Calm down?! Did you ask me to calm down?! He tortured you for goodness sake! He never respected you!"
"But he's now a changed person"
"Seriously sis, defending him again?! You're in love aren't you?".
"Yes! I love him".
"Oh! I see". She muttered under her breath.
"Madam, na the phone be this(Ma'am, this is the phone you had asked for)".
"Good! You may now leave".
"You mean say make I de go (You mean, I should leave)?"
"No stay! Why don't you just come and join us in our conversation?! " she asked glaring as I laugh so hard.
"Sorry Madam" he said before excusing us.
"Idiot!". She muttered before placing the phone down beside her.
"Sis there's only one thing I'm confused of, how did we both end up having same cloth?" She asked.
****Flashback****
"Hey beautiful"
"Khalid, what are you doing here?"
"Well, I decide to take you out for shopping"
"What?! What if Kareem comes to know".
"Relax beautiful,will you? This should be our little secret, right?".
"Little secret?"
"Yes little secret" he said winking.
******
"Ma'am, you're back again?". A lady at the cloth section asked me the moment she saw me.
"What do you mean, I'm back again? Have we ever met before?".
"Actually Ma'am, you had come here two hours ago" . She said .
"Me?! Sorry you must be wrong, this is my first time entering here".
"But-"
"Hey please, can you stop questioning her? She told you this is her first time". Khalid chimed in saving me from this crazy lady questions.
"Okay.... Sorry Ma'am, sorry sir" . She apologized.
Khalid won't let me be not untill I choose anything of my choice, when all of a sudden the Navy blue gown caught my attention. I Stared at it in awe. "You like it?" . Khalid whispered.
"Erm...Erm...". I trailed off.
"Please, pack this beautiful dress for her and match it with a beautiful heel and purse".
****
"Khalid, thank you so much. I love the dress".
"You're welcome beautiful, anything for you" . he replied winking.
"But Khalid, I can't keep secret from Kareem. Can...can I tell him before I put on the cloth?" .
"I don't mind beautiful... After all, he's your husband" .
"Thank you"
