Baffamaitaya: This is not fair, how could you make this ugly girl  my girlfriend? I am too good for her. Please Sarah kindly change the girl. I can send you pictures of girls if you want, Thank you.

She couldn't believe it. She didn't know what she felt after reading that comment. Was she that ugly? So ugly that someone wouldn't even want her as his novel girlfriend? It isn't even real. It just for a stupid novel. Is she that bad looking? For a moment she just stood there motionless. Sighing, she kept her phone away and continued cooking.

But even as she finished frying her meatballs, that comment was all she could think of. She strained the meatballs and put it inside the food flask, while waiting for the spagetti to finish cooking she sat back on the kitchen stool and opened her phone.

That heartbreaking comment was the first thing she set her eyes on. Swallowing a lump in her throat she quit the comment section and continued looking at the pictures. Rukkaya was a pretty fair girl, she thought she was halfcast, Uncle looked Arab while Leena looked Indian. Apart from her, she thought Muklis and Bilal were the only full Nigerians.

It was when she reached the last picture that her breathing hitched. The first thought that came to her brain was 'no wonder he said he was too good for her'. He really was too good for her. Sarahss2000 had gotten the perfect guy for Danmaula.

He was young guy, not really fair and not dark, a milky chocolate colour just like how Sarahss2000 described Najib/ Danmaula in her book. He had brown hazel eyes and long eyebrows. The eyebrows were the exact opposite of hers. While hers were so bushy, his looked like they had been shaped and concealed. Even though it was just a picture, she noticed the long straight nose and pink lips. It was only the side burns and beard that didn't match Danmaula's. While she imagined Danmaula's beard to be long and his side burns to be full and to almost cover his face, this guy's beard wasn't that much. It could be measured to a fist of her hand or like hausawa called it kamu daya while his side burns looked shaved.

He was wearing a neatly ironed and starched black shadda that was shining with black expensive looking cover shoes and was leaning against a silver tinted Accord Coupe. With a golden watch and silver ring neatly placed on his left wrist and middle finger and sunglasses with two pens inside his breast pocket, he really was looking breathtaking. Nabeela found herself once more believing he really was too good for her.

Under his picture, Sarahss2000 wrote 'And this is how I imagined Danmaula to be. Just imagine his trousers are a little bit shorter and remember the car he is leaning next to is not his but Bilal's. Lol. He is too handsome right? Ladies better stop gogling remember, he is already taken by Hameeda'.

She was too busy admiring the guy that she didn't smell the burning smell of her spagetti. It was only when her brother shouted " Yaya Nabeela what's burning?," from the living room that Nabeela percieved the smell.

She threw her phone on the kitchen counter and quickly turned off the gas cooker. 'God! Her mom would be so pissed off at her when she comes back.' She thought looking at the half burnt spaghetti. Sighing, she put the not burnt spaggetti in the food flask and the rest inside the dustbin. 'Hopefully Mamie won't know,' she kept praying as she set the table.

As if on cue, she heard knocking immediately she finished setting the table. She opened the door and saw 6 familiar pairs of eyes looking at her. Just as she expected it wasn't her aunties but her mother's sisters and brother. Aunty Rahma, Aunty Zainab and Uncle Muhammad. Even though they were just a year or two older than her, she called them Aunty and Uncle just like her 9 and  5 year old brothers did.

"Welcome," she said with a small fake smile.

It was not like she hated them. Nabeela just didn't get along with almost everyone. She rarely talked. Everyone
thought she was a weirdo. She awkwardly hugged the ladies and let them in.

Her two brothers Amin and Ameer ran and hugged their aunts and uncle. They were clearly happy to see them. Uncle Muhammad picked Amir and threw him up making him break into giggles.

She wanted to run back upstairs, snuggle in her covers and read a book but Mamie asked her to entertain and serve the guests food. As if, she knew how to entertain anyone.

"So how have you been?," she awkwardly asked them when they were all seated in the living room. Muhammad gave her a small smile and answered, "great alhamdulilah,". Rahma's whole attention was on her phone while Zainab answered," fine" and immediately went back to her phone.

They stayed quiet for some minutes. Everyone except Nabeela on their phone. Nabeela kept playing with her fingers thinking of which conversation to bring up and failing miserably. It was Rahma who broke the silence with a loud shriek that startled Nabeela. She looked up and saw Rahma jumping.

"What's wrong?"

"Nothing," she waved her hand. " It's just that my streak with my boyfriend has reached 500,"

"Congratulations,"her sister said while Nabeela looked at both of them weirdly, asking herself what's there to congratulate. She knew what streaks were after all Hafsa explained to her the last time she went to their house. She just considered it not important and a complete waste of time. What's there to keep sending pictures to someone every 24 hours just to have numbers next to the person's username? She could as well save his name with a 1000 or 1000000.

"Do you want to eat?" she asked them, when no one answered her as they were all so engrossed in their phones, she also brought out her phone. Do they think they are the only ones that have phones? Even though theirs were the lastest while hers was just a small Tecno and she had no one to talk to, she still pretended to be using it.

Once more she found herself reading the heartbreaking comment. She couldn't let her insecurities get the better of her. How could he? How dare he? Who is he to comment like this? Just because he is good looking , rich and hot doesn't mean he has the right to look down at others.

She kept comtemplating whether to report him, message him or to comment back. It wasn't that insultive to report and she didn't want to reply him back privately so that he won"t think she wants to talk to him. At last she decided to reply him back in the comment section.

****

"I am so sorry Ya Akeel, I didn't know. When, how, why?" Waleeda bombarded her brother with questions.

"When? About two weeks ago. How? Through a text message. And why ? Because she is getting married." Akilu answered his sister as camly as he could.

"I am so sorry Ya Akeel. But the truth is I don't really like her, I am glad you are not together with her anymore. She doesn't deserve you,"  When Akilu just stared at his little sister she quickly added,

" Don't worry you will find someone much better than her, I promise,"

He gave his sister a small smile. Even though he was 4 years older than his sister, they were so close and they shared almost every bit of information to each other.

"You know what? Let's go and see Yaya Nawal. It may make you forget about Niima and I want to see how she is doing "

His sister just knew how to cheer him up. Though he wasn't in the mood of going out. He reluctantly agreed. After all he couldn't say no to the baby of the house. Yaya Nawal was their eldest sister who lived with her husband. Their house was a fifteen minute drive from their's.

"Sure, get ready and tell Umma."

In the next 30 minutes they were at Yaya Nawal's place. Yaya Nawal had grown bigger as she was expecting. She was so happy  to see them. The three siblings had a nice time chatting. They teased Yaya Nawal and her husband endlessly and had a great time bonding. It was late when they went back home. Akilu immediately got ready to sleep. Taking his phone for the first time in the last 5 hours he was surprised to a see a notification from Wattpad. He was shocked to see a reply for the comment he posted.

Nabeerlah 04: You have to be kidding me. I don't know you but it's obvious you're so full of yourself. I wouldn't have agreed to this if I knew it will turn out to be a disappointment like you.

At first Akilu didn't understand why the girl was so angry but later on he understood the girl was the cast of Hameeda. The girl he called ugly. When he typed the comment he didn't think the girl reads the book, he had no idea she would read it. He knew what he said was rude and was about to apologize but changed his mind. How could someone call him a disappointment?

Baffamaitaya: Hey hey hey. Like seriously, just beacause I meted out what's apparent. I'm way out of your league should be more obvious to you I guess😎. Peace out✌

He was about to sleep when another notification popped in.

Nabeerlah04: Way out of my league? You must be dreaming. You have no respect nor shame. How can you even think like that?

'Why wouldn't this girl let him sleep' he thought as he typed another comment. He wouldn't let her win. She can't be the last one comment.

Baffamaitaya: OMG! I can't stop laughing. Assuming I was dreaming probably I won't fall asleep again because that would be a nightmare. To dream about you would've been my worst nightmare. I see nothing bad in telling you how you look. You should be thankful.

Nabeerlah04: Well no one asked for your opinion so thank you for being a dummy. *sighs* I wish I've got some change so that I'll give you to go and buy sense, you egocentric person.

It was her last comment that made Akilu a little bit angry. How could she be this rude? Okay he was the one that started it so maybe it was his fault but why couldn't she just leave him alone? He was tired and just wanted to sleep. He had to comment something that would hurt her and make her shut up. With a yawn he typed.

Baffamaitaya: Do you know why you're doing all this? I don't think its your fault. It's because you lack manners. So I'll just say your mother should've nurtured you in a much better way. Assuming she did you wouldn't have been this rude.

He had no idea how much he would regret typing this comment the next day.
