Chapter 2: Chapter 1
CHAPTER 1: IT ALL STARTED FROM SCHOOL
Asna(Younger Twins) POV
"I did not think I will like this school even in the future" I murmured as we walked to our department, but my sister did not answer me, She usually said that I like complaining about any single thing, but I can not help it most especially after seeing how the students of this school have been looking at us and treating us weirdly ever since we have arrived yesterday.
We have arrived at a new school I and my sister yesterday, and we were informed that we are starting our lectures today.
Afna my sister, I love her so much!.
She is not just my sister, but my twins' sister!.
We have always been closed and supportive of each others since childhood!
we eat together!
pray together! Read and so much more.
People usually says that we are identical twins because look alike and have many things in common, we also have some noticable difference in our attitude and behavior, people usually says that Afna is a nerdy and pious type while I am the complete opposite of that.
We have finished our Secondary School last few months and our Brother insisted that we will continued our further education in this school, out of all places in this world I wondered why he will bring us to this place.
"Rather than complaining you should have helped me with these things," My sister told me, reminding me that she is the person holding most of our books and belongings.
I guess if I carry these loads of books like she is doing right now people will start to think whether I am crazy. she has packed lots of books that even our bags cannot take them all, so I let her hold the rest with her hands.
"I know you are tired but I cannot possibly help you to carry those books," I told her because I am not at fault.
My sister is the person who wants us to read or go to the library after our lectures despite the fact that I have told her that I am not interested in reading or going to the library anytime soon, but she still insisted, she went ahead and packed both mine and her books saying that I am not serious.
And besides, I did not want to wipe away my whole make up with sweat like her, despite the fact that it was just a light make up we have all put, but I cannot tell her this directly.
"Please twinny" she pleaded, with a smile on her face but I will not fall for her trap, after all, I will not read the books and I know that she will call and tell our brother.
"We are already there," I told her, pointing at where some students are mostly passing by.
We have come here to just checked our time table before we could move to our lecture hall.
"But how will we know the exact venue" I complained to my sister tapping the time table, who is now seated in a seat nearby with the books by her side, she most is resting after carrying this whole books for such a long distance, This school really big.
"Assalamualaikum, did you need my help sisters" I heard a voiced say, "I am also a new student at this school but I know almost all the classes or venues of this school," I guy of around my age or slightly older said, we are seventeen so maybe he is probably around 17-19. He must have heard me complaining to my sister.
"Wa'alaiku salam" My sister answered him, even though it felt forced, which makes me smile.
"Maths and stats" We are probably in the same course he said excitedly, tracing his hands on the time table.
"Yeah" I managed to say.
"Now what are we waiting for, let me show you the lecture hall".
"Thank you" My sister said smiling a bit as Hamid helped her with our books.
We chat on our way to the lecture hall while my sister Walk in silence with us, he is kinda talkative, he told me that his name is Hamid and he kept telling me stories about this school and his life.
"Are you from the Gamal's family" Hamid asked me making me and my sister to exchange some looks.
"No"
"But, you look like them" He told me, Afna cleared her throat. I think our family have some histories with the Gamal's family that even me and my sister did not know.
"Why would you say that," I asked him with a confused faced.
"Almost all the ladies in the Gamal's family looks like some princesses, they are all beautiful and you look just like them" he told me, with a smiled on his face as we entered the hall.
Afna chuckled while, I laughed at his words, "I..., I.., wa..was never regarded as a princess before" I smiled a bit.
"Who is this student" We heard somebody yelled at us, making i, my sister and Hamid to stop and turned to look at the person who is talking to us.
He must be the lecturer, I have almost forgotten that we are now in the middle of the classroom, we are all embarrassed that he we are both talking and chatting I front of everyone in the class including the lecturer.
"We are sorry sir," Afna said, Because of how the lecturer is looking at us or maybe me angrily.
"Not you, her" The man said pointing at me, but what have I done? At first I thought that he is angry because we are late or chatting without realizing that he is in the class, but seeing the way he is looking at me, it looks like I am the person who has offended him or what is he trying to imply I thought to myself "You should leave my class right away" he commanded.
Wait!
What!. 'Have I done anything wrong?' both Hamid and my sister looked at me then back at the him, they are also as confused as I am right now.
Who did he think he is? To just send me out of the class without any reason.
"But, sir..." I stopped because my sister hold my hands giving me a look that I should not say anything.
"You should know the way to dressed the next time you will attend my lectures" He spatted, what did he just said. I heard some students laughter's, they are really enjoying this?, I lowered my head in embarrassment.
I did not know what is wrong with my dressed, I am wearing white shirt, with black jeans and I tied a scarf on my head, while my sister is also dressed up like me unless that she is wearing a skirt jeans instead and she has wrapped her scarf instead of tighting it, how can my outfit offend anyone, infact the school did not restrict this type of dressing, we have read some of the school rule with my sister yesterday.
"Sir, she is sorry" Afna told the teacher "she will never do it again" she looked at me, I know that she want me to apologize to him, but I can not possible do this most especially after what he has just done to me, this can never be possible.
"Please, Apologize to him" Hamid whispered but I ignores him, I am already embarrassed and angry, why will he talk to me like this in public eyes?.
"Make sure you will not repeat this mistake, the next time you will attend my lecture" If my sister did not have hold my hands, I won't have went further into the class, people cannot stop laughing or gossiping about us.
"You can seat down here" A beautiful girl that looks a little bit younger than us said, she is seating alone at the second row of the seat, my sister immediately seat down, before I and Hamid also sat down beside them.
"Assalamualaikum" My twins told the girl.
"Walaikumuassalam" The girl Answered her smiling a bit.
"Thanks for the favor"
"Nevermind" She answered Afna looking back at the board. "And by the way, my name is Afra".
"Afna"
"Hamid" He said the word looking at Afra who only looked away from him, maybe they knew each others.
"Asna" I struggled to say, picking up a small Book and pen from my bag to jut as an excuse to concentrate on the lectures Even though I could not, just by looking at the teachers face.
I hate him!.
"You know what" Hamid said making me to look at him, "This teacher has always been like this, he usually has a lot of rules and regulations for girls that will attend his lectures, I think he thought that he is a Muslim scholar" he added in a very low tune that I guess my sister and Afra did not hear him.
"What did you mean" I asked him because I did not understand what or why he is saying this.
"I mean to say that he usually act and behave like pious and decent man all the time" Hamid paused for a second and look at my first before he continue " he had been like this since I knew him, and after he has started lecturing in this school, he usually have alot of issues with most of the students here because of this behaviors of his".
I did not know why Hamid is telling me this, but I cannot reply to him so I have nothing to do or say rather than to listen to him.
"But sometimes it feels like he is just faking it, because this is not what he truly is" Hamid whispered again.
"Why did you say this?" I did not know why I care or asked him this question.
"Think about it now, if he is truly doing the right thing, he will not have tell you that in front of everyone". I cannot help but to think about what he just said. "Islam did not teaches us to embarrassed or exposed someone sin like this, we should rather talked to them on private".
"Did you know that his girlfriend wear worst clothe and she is never a decent girl in the first place". I turned to looked at the teacher, he is lecturing while he interact with most of the students, I did not know whether what Hamid have said about him is right.
Is Hamid really telling me the truth.
"What are you two talking about" I was cut off my thought when my twins said this.
"Umm, hmm, nothing for you to worry about" My sister looked at me thoughtfully for what seems like a long period of time before she finally looked away.
I did not know why Hamid have told me this, but I am thankful for that, I don't know why I am suddenly relief after hearing This.
"Hmmm" This man thinks that he will embarrassed me and live peacefully after that, then he most be mistaken.
____
"Assalamualaikum Sir" I told our teacher, who is now seating confidentiality in his office desk while I am standing next to his desk.
We have finished two lectures now and we are now on break. After what Hamid have told me I decided to came to this lecturer place with the help of Hamid, did not know why I really want to talk to him, I cannot hold back anymore even though I wished I could, and I am not even nervous or scared was it because he is very young lecturer, Hamid even told me that his girlfriend is schooling with us, which means that he is not married.
"Walaikumuassalam, what brings you to this place and you are still wearing those clothes" He said turning his face, to look at the computer in front of him as if he did not like what he is seeing.
"I have come to talk to you about what has happened earlier" I muttered but he did not reply.
"Sir, you said that I have not dressed properly before coming to your class, but the school rule of dressing did not violate any of this, how comes you have problem with that" It looks like he has stopped whatsoever he is doing because he is now looking at me with shocked eyes. "I see the school has it own rules while a lecturer also have his own"
"Did you know what you are saying or who you are talking to" He asked me, flaring his nostrils.
"Yes, I know".
"Take a look at the way you have dressed carefully, is this the way your parents have thought you to, or did you think it is the right thing to do as a Muslim lady", He asked me, trying to calm down a bit, why is he calm?, this is not the reaction I expected from him, "Wearing a revealing clothes is not right it is like exposing your body for the world to see".
"If Wearing revealing clothes is not good what about embarrassing people in front of everyone, did you think that is Right". I asked him, but it looks like he is not paying attention to what I am saying because he is now typing something on his desktop.
"I have set a rule for any girl that is going to attend my lectures, and if you have problem with it or you cannot followed, then you most now attend my lectures".
"But this is not right since the school did not support or asked us to wear certain kind of clothes when attending a particular lectures".
"I will not abandoned my religion just because of this school teaching, I have already given you an option, you are free to do what your heart desire".
"Then you are also free to leave the school, you are free to go and teach in an Islamic school of your wish I guess so". After he has looked at me furiously, that is when I realized that I have crosses the lines but this cannot stop from saying what is on my mind.
"If you really want to advice me or you are as religious as you claim to be, then you won't have said that to me publicly, and you did not have the right to judge my dressing manner".
"Did you want to leave this school today" He asked me looking at me with rage, but I ignores him and continue.
"Everybody has his own weakness in this world, it is not like you are perfect, so don't try to act like one because always pretending to be virtuous is really not the right thing to do" I told him, he did not told me anything, he just look at me deeply and with an unmovable gazed.
"I will take my leave Sir" I said moving backward, I want to add something but I couldn't anymore, I know I have crosses all line today to talk to my lecturer like this, but I cannot help it even though I know that I have to bear the consequences of what is going to come after this because I might get expelled for what I have just done, but I did not also like this school in the first place so I care less.
"Tell me, did anything goes well" Hamid asked me as I came out of the office.
I did not know how to reply to him, so I just hammed in response, I know right know that I have to explain to my sister the reason why I have her left her with Afra at the cafeteria without a proper reason.
Afna's POV
"But what is the class all about, we are not even part of the Gamal's family, why will we joined Thier private lectures". Asna complain to us as We both walked to the class with Afra in silence while Hamid has long gone.
It is evening now, around 4:30pm, we have finished our lectures for today, we did not even went back to the hostel when our Metron the only woman who had treated us nicely when we came to this school yesterday's evening, call us and inform us that we should joined some Gamal's private classes.
Asna have been complaining after hearing that because I know my sister she wants to rest right now after having this kind of long lectures.
When we entered the class surprisedly they was not even a single student in the classroom.
"We should just leave because the students are all not back," Afra told us, but I still wonder why we will leave, we should stay and wait for them in other to confirm.
"We should just wait for them, even if it is just for some minutes," I said.
"But they are all not around and I know each of them, they will surely not come," Afra told me, but I still give her a look of disagreement.
"You should just allowed my sister, because she will not mind waiting if it has something to do with studies," My twins told Afra while I sat down on the front seat and dropped all my books, I know that she is trying to tease me but I ignored the two of them as they laugh and both sat down next to me.
It's been more than 15 minutes since we came into this class but, there was no students or teacher that enters apart from us. I have started to think whether Afra is right and we should just go back to the hostel.
"I am sorry for being late," A teacher said as he rushed into the classroom. He dropped some of his things on the table hurriedly "And, I apologize for that".
His eyes scan the room and when they met mine, he seems somehow disturbed.
I wonder what is wrong with him, what have I done?
He looked away and he did not add a minute when he quickly packed up his books and so on "They will be no classes until all the students are back" he rushed out of the class just as he came.
I wonder if I have done something wrong? did he just humiliate me?.
"Let's leave," I said packing up my books once again, I did not feel like going to the library anymore, Afra and my twins did not say anything, they just chuckled, I am sure they have also noticed what this man has done to me.
