Chapter 7

[DINNER INVITATION]

Sahra POV

After our eventful day of shopping with Seher and the girls, we finally had a park we decided to spend most of our time together and enjoy our lives.

Until one morning my mum told me to ask Seher to visit our house sometimes. I was scared it was not that I was afraid to bring her to our house, it was that I'd never brought any of my schoolmates.

And Seher would be the first one to come.

I thought of any excuse I could make but my mum would not listen. So I went to school and I met Seher this time she wasn't with our group but some guy I couldn't recognize because his back was facing me. Once I caught up with her I wanted to ask who the guy was. So I asked her.

"Hey who were you talking to?" I asked.

"He's my classmate, his name is Michael" she answered. I wanted to ask more but I let it flow.

After we reached our lockers, I asked her if I could invite her to dinner, I wasn't expecting the answer she gave me but she said, "Of course I would love to."

"Great then I will meet you after school," I said.

As usual, my classes were the same. After school, I met Seher at the parking line.

Once we got in we stopped at our gate I could imagine Seher's expression when she saw our house. I mean no one chooses the way they should leave right?

I opened our gates and showed her inside, I couldn't believe that my mom was standing by the door with a smile on her face. It was funny, she welcomes Seher with open arms and we started talking.

During dinner my mom asked Seher about her life and all that while I was the leaving room, my mom showed pictures of me and we ended up having fun.

When it was for Seher to leave followed her to her car, she complimented me about my mom and she would like to come again soon.

We said goodbye to each other and entered her car but the engine got stuck and she was unable to start it she was furious, she tried to call her brother to come and pick her but his phone was dead.

I offered her to stay for the night and she could probably call him in the morning.

She left him a message and we both entered home.

I told mum what happened she was happy to let her stay. I gave her my pyjamas so she changed her clothes.

Sarah: Hey Seher can I ask you a question?

Seher: Yeah sure.

Sahra: Why did you look sad when my mom asked you about your mom?

Ṣeher: Truthfully, it's just that my mom has been busy ever since we moved here. All she does is work 24/7. she barely has time for me. I'm happy for you that yours is always around you.

I felt sorry for her I mean despite living like a princess she still yearned for her maternal attention.

Sahra: Goodnight.

Seher: You too.
