Chapter 20: Jamal can't find out!!!

Xhara and Hafeez had a long talk in which she explained everything, and even after several explanations Hafeez was still confused. "so you mean to tell me that Balira isn't related to you in any way?" Xhara pinched his cheeks " Well basically no, we don't have the same father but the same mother, Jamal and I have the same father but different mother. My dad married Balira's mother when she was already born" She glanced over at him and saw he still looked confused. She sighed "Okay Balira and I have the same mother but Jamal and I have the same father meaning, Jamal and Balira are not related by blood, they are only related through me" She continued "Do you understand now?" Hafeez nodded his head. "of all people why his supposed sister?" Hafeez thought aloud "Has he told her yet?" he asked with bulging eyes. Xhara laughed then her smile fell " I don't think so, and the worst part is he doesn't feel bad about it, well she isn't his blood basically, but just thinking about it" she shuddered in disgust. Hafeez could also tell that the situation was bad because he knew Jamal, but apparently, he didn't because Jamal hadn't told him about something so vital. Whatever Jamal wanted Jamal Would get.

"When do you think we should tell Jamal and your family about us" he blushed as he said the 'us', Xhara raised her head from his chest, she stared at him with a bewildered expression, "Do you want to tell them about it" Hafeez nodded his head which made Xhara slap him as tears started to flow from her eyes "You know what Jamal would do to you if he finds out?" Hafeez just smiled and pulled her into his embrace, holding her not too tight but not too loose "I'm sorry if my words upset you my love but, we can't keep it a secret forever now can we?" Xara just stared at him with tears in her eyes, he raised his hand near her eyes to wipe the tears away "I'm sorry my beautiful, okay tell me what should we do then?" He asked as he caressed her cheek. Xara thought about something and an idea came into her head, she smiled widely and pounced on Hafeez, she pinned his hands above his head, she enjoyed watching his expressions, right now he looked flustered. She leaned in and kissed him, she kissed him and took his breath away because, after the kiss, they were both gasping for air, he smiled at her and rubbed her now swollen lips. She started at him lovingly "Please don't say anything to Jamal about us, don't let him find out, no not yet." she continued after a sigh " If he finds out he will turn you inside out" Hafeez smiled because he knew Jamal since they were little

*FLASHBACK*

Nine years ago, 16-year-old Hafeez and 17-year-old Jamal were forced to stay outside and get some fresh air by their parents. They stayed under a tree and watched Balira and Xhara play, Balira who was 15, and Xhara who was 13 prancing in a meadow looking for flowers that they could pick. "isn't she beautiful" Jamal said "Yes she is" Hafeez concurred while looking at Xhara, they made eye contact and Xhara quickly look away. Hafeez had a crush on Xhara unbeknownst to him that Xhara had a crush on him too. Meanwhile, Jamal had just discovered that he had feelings for Balira, and he was relieved when found out that Balira wasn't his blood sister, but she was Xhara's sister, and his parents would never acknowledge his feelings, they would probably call him crazy.

"hey Jamal, what would happen if someone were to you know date Xhara... And Balira too hehe" Hafeez asked nervously, Jamal had a distant look on his face he then turned to face Hafeez with a serious look on his face "Well that won't happen because I'll break his face" his sentence made Hafeez gulp in fear. Hafeez hung his head in sadness. He would just have to keep his feelings to himself

*END OF FLASHBACK*

"Okay, I promise not to tell Jamal" Xhara smiled at his reply, and she rolled over him to lay down next to him, which surprised Hafeez because he thought she would go further with what she wanted to do, he didn't expect her to chicken out but he smiled and kissed her head "goodnight my Teddy bear" he whispered in a hoarse tone. He got up from the bed leaving the room and leaving Xhara who had goosebumps on her skin....
