After Peter left, Sadik kept viewing Fatima profile picture. She wore a red T-shirt with a black trouser and a necklace that seemed to be gold around her neck. She was sitting on white sofa that also looked to be expensive."Oh just see how beautiful she is" Sadik said. It was around 10 O'clock Pm, the full moon was so high in to the sky shining, and there was a cold breeze blowing from the trees of the garden.
Finally, Fatima was online. Sadik's heart was beating so fast and his hands were shaking as he tried typing her message.
Sadik: Hello.
Fatima: Identification Please.
Sadik: I will send you my picture, I think it will say the thousand words.
Fatima: lol, okay I'm waiting for the picture.
Sadik: I have sent it, do you recognize me?
Fatima: if I could remember correctly, I think I have seen you in Royal Secondary School, right?
Sadik: yes exactly, that's where you know me. I'm surprised that u are beginning to forget me.
Fatima: And why shouldn't I forget you?
Sadik: Because we are classmate and also in the same house for that matter and a good house member is not likely to forget the members of his/her house.
Fatima: well, there are people you forget and those you don't forget.
Sadik: then I must be first on the list among the people you can never forget.
Fatima:hhhh not even in your dreams? By the way, where did you get my number?
Sadik: I asked Maryam for it.
Fatima: And what do you intend to do with my number?
Sadik: I just want to be your friend that's all.
Fatima: unfortunately, I don't chat with boys.
Sadik: but you do chat with your house members and class mates, right?
Fatima: Nope, they also are included.
Sadik: I'm so sad to hear that. Now that you don't chat with boys, then you should just assume that I have transformed into your best friend Maryam.
Fatima:Hhhh really?
Sadik:hhh yes of course, you can even call me with her name.
Fatima: you must be out of your mind, right?
Sadik: maybe.
Fatima: ok Maryam, good night I'm sleepy.
Sadik: good night my sweet best friend.
It was already eleven O'clock and Sadik was not sleepy at all. He went to the room and played video game until he got tired. He tried to fall asleep but the conversation they had on whatsapp kept pounding in his mind. He kept smiling until he unconsciously slept. At five O'clock, Peter waked Sadik to go and Pray. But Sadik had difficulty in waking up due to the fact that he didn't sleep early the previous night. Sadik had his prayer and quickly went back to bed because his eyes were even closed when he was praying.
In the morning, Peter went through Sadik's conversation with Fatima."Oh my God! Sadik I really I can't believe this. Now I have no doubt that she really likes you, no wonder you slept very late last night" Peter said."Oh yes, we'll talk about it later" Sadik replied with his eyes closed laying on the bed."Is okay lover boy" Peter laughed. Five minutes later, Peter came to Sadik with his phone."Look Sadik, Fatima is online and she has even sent you a message" Peter announced. Hearing this, Sadik quick jumped up as if he wasn't the one dying to sleep. He collected the phone from peter's hand.
Fatima: Good morning Maryam
Sadik: Good morning my sweet best friend, how are you doing?
Fatima: I'm okay, how was your night?
Sadik: I had a rough night, I couldn't sleep.
Fatima: what happened? Why couldn't you sleep?
Sadik: I can't really tell, all I know is that I kept thinking about someone.
Fatima: oh, and who could that be?
Sadik: if I tell you, you will be taken abck.
Fatima: believe me, I won't be.
Sadik: ok I kept thinking about you last night, I kept wondering if the conversation we had last night was in a dream land or in the real world.
Fatima: wow! Now I'm taken aback.
Sadik: I know you must be. Actually, you appeared to be friendlier and simpler than I thought contrary to what people have been saying about you. Before I first messaged you, I was in a fear that you will never listen to me. But it turns out that you are more than what I expected you to be, and I can say you are the friendliest person I've ever met.
Fatima: thanks for the compliments, but how sure are you, you know me well to say such things about me?
Sadik: I know we recently started talking to each other, but whenever I look at you, I have a feeling that I have known you for thousands of years.
Fatima:hhh really?
Sadik: yes of course. It sounds weird, right?
Fatima: very weird indeed. I can't believe I'm having this conversation with you.
Sadik: me too, you sound very different from that little girl who was afraid of lizard.
Fatima: lol. Goodbye Sadik I'll see you later.
Sadik: okay Fatima, see you soon.
