CAMPUS SKIN AND BLISTER
EPISODE 47
The final year resumption had finally set in. Mufeedah and her friends were amongst the excited, yet anxious students. They had to resume very early, and the period was already proving to be hectic. With projects and exams looming, the students were under a lot of pressure to perform well.
Mufeedah and her friends, including Samaira, were no exception. They had to dive straight into their studies, with little time to relax or socialize. Samaira, in particular, was still struggling with her sickness, and it was taking a toll on her academic performance. Despite her best efforts, she was finding it difficult to keep up with her coursework, and her roommates were having to help her out a lot.
One day, as Jemima was sitting in their room, trying to catch up on some reading, her husband called to check on how she was faring. "Hey, how's it going?" he asked, his voice warm and concerned.
Jemima sighed, sounding a bit stressed. "It's been tough, to be honest," she replied. "We have so much work to do, and I'm not sure how we're going to get it all done."
Her husband reassured her, his voice calm and soothing. "Don't worry, it's going to be a success at the end," he said. "You're all working hard, and I'm sure you'll get through it. Just take it one step at a time, and don't forget to take care of yourself."
Jemima smiled, feeling a bit better. "I will, thanks," she said. "And how's my boy doing?"
Her husband chuckled. "He's doing great, as always," he replied. "He's missing you, of course, but he's being taken care of. Just focus on your studies, and we'll take care of everything else"
Jemima nodded, even though her husband couldn't see her. "Hmm, thank you for always being there, Habibi..I am indeed grateful" she chuckled softly.
After ending the call, Jemima put down her phone and looked around the room. Mufeedah had just entered, her hands piled high with handouts and notes. "Hey, guys," she said, greeting her friends as she jumped into her bed.
As she settled in, Mufeedah noticed that Samaira was looking a bit off. She was lying in her bed, her eyes closed, and her face scrunched up in pain. "Hey, Samaira, is everything okay?" Mufeedah asked, concern etched on her face.
Samaira opened her eyes, wincing in pain. "I...I don't know," she stammered, her voice barely above a whisper. "I just feel so weak and tired all the time."
Mufeedah's expression turned sympathetic. "Oh, Samaira, I'm so sorry," she said. "We're all here for you, and we'll do whatever we can to help. Just rest and try to take it easy, okay?"
Samaira nodded, a faint smile on her face. "Thanks, Mufeedah," she whispered. "I appreciate it."
As Mufeedah continued to talk to Samaira, Jemima got up from her bed and walked over to them. "Hey, guys, how's it going?" she asked, her eyes fixed on Samaira.
Mufeedah filled her in on Samaira's condition, and Jemima's expression turned concerned. "We need to take care of her," she said. "We can't let her fall behind in her studies."
Mufeedah nodded in agreement. "I know, but we also need to make sure she's taking care of herself," she said. "We can't have her pushing herself too hard and making her condition worse."
As they continued to discuss Samaira's situation, it was clear that they were all determined to support her and help her get through this tough time. They were a team, and they would face whatever challenges came their way, together.
********************************************
It was a beautiful evening, and Abdul Lateef had decided to surprise Mufeedah with a special gift. He arrived at the hostel, eager to see her and present her with the gift. However, as he entered the room, he was disappointed to find that Mufeedah was not there. Instead, he found Jemima sitting on her bed, studying.
"Assalamu alaikum, Jemima," Abdul Lateef said, greeting her with a smile. "I was looking for Mufeedah. Is she around?"
Jemima looked up from her book and smiled. "Wa alaikum salam, Abdul Lateef," she replied. "Mufeedah is not here right now. She went for a lecture."
Abdul Lateef's face fell, but he quickly recovered. "Oh, okay," he said. "I brought some gifts for her. Would you mind delivering them to her when she gets back?"
Jemima's eyes lit up with excitement. "Of course, I'd be happy to," she said. "What are the gifts?"
Abdul Lateef handed her a beautifully wrapped box. "It's a surprise," he said with a smile. "Just give it to her and tell her it's from me."
Jemima took the box and smiled. "I will," she said. "Thank you, Abdul Lateef."
Abdul Lateef smiled and nodded. "You're welcome," he said. "I'll talk to you later, Jemima. Please give Mufeedah my regards."
Jemima nodded and watched as Abdul Lateef left the room. She couldn't wait to see Mufeedah's reaction when she gave her the gift.
Later that day, Mufeedah arrived at the hostel, exhausted from her lecture. Jemima greeted her with a big smile and handed her the box. "Abdul Lateef came by earlier and dropped this off for you," she said.
Mufeedah's eyes widened as she took the box and unwrapped it. Inside, she found a beautiful pair of expensive shoes. She was stunned and couldn't believe her eyes.
"Oh my Goodness, Jemima," she exclaimed. "These are amazing! Abdul Lateef is so sweet."
Jemima smiled and nodded in agreement. "I know, right?" she said. "He really sent an amazing gift. You're so lucky to have him."
Mufeedah couldn't stop staring at the shoes. She was so touched by Abdul Lateef's thoughtful gesture. She decided to call him and thank him personally.
"Assalamu alaikum, Abdul Lateef," she said, when he answered the phone.
"Wa alaikum salam, my Queen," he replied. "How are you?"
Mufeedah smiled, feeling happy and grateful. "I'm good, thanks," she said. "I just got the gift you sent me, and I'm speechless. It's so beautiful and thoughtful of you."
Abdul Lateef's voice was filled with emotion. "I'm glad you like it, Mufeedah," he said. "I just wanted to show you how much I care about you. You're the love of my life, and I want to make you happy."
Mufeedah's heart melted at his words. "I love you too, Abdul Lateef," she said. "Thank you again for the gift. It means so much to me."
Abdul Lateef smiled, feeling happy and contented. "You're welcome, my love," he said. "I'll always be there for you, no matter what."
Mufeedah smiled, feeling grateful and loved. She talked to Abdul Lateef for a while longer, and then they said their goodbyes.
That night, Mufeedah slept soundly, feeling happy and contented. She knew that she had found her soulmate in Abdul Lateef, and she was grateful for his love and care. The gift he had sent her was just a token of his appreciation, but it meant the world to her. She knew that she would always treasure it, and the love they shared.
