When waleed arrived home five days ago, everybody was happy to see him. Especially Bilkis who knew she had got her amazing brother back. But when they all started noticing how Waleed's behavior had changed, they all started distancing their self away from him. He became more grumpy than usual and never speaks much, he would always frown his face and only nod whenever he his asked anything.

Even his mum got alarmed by his drastic change of lifestyle and behavior. Yes she knew he was rude but she always knew her son to be bubbly and happy. But now his rudeness had heightened to a level that even her herself feared. Just this morning he insulted a guard so badly just because his car was not washed well and not just that, he broke a cup of coffee just because it tasted too bitter. Yes that was indeed alarming to her.

Presently they were all seated in the dinning room and having lunch. Waleed kept on playing with his fork not minding to eat at all. His mother stared at him and noticed how disturbed and disorganized he looked. He wasn't smiling nor frowning, all he did was puff and unpuff his cheeks.

"Waleed is Anything wrong?" His mother asked and he raised his head and stared at her.

"Yes, well i want to tell y'all something" he said, his dad who was seating on his left hand side dropped his fork to listen to his son.

"What is it?" His dad asked curiously and he sighed before speaking. "Well before coming to Nigeria I bought a house at Maitama and i would love to park in" Waleed said, he wasn't a type to beat around the bush.

"Why do you need a house when you have us here" his mum said while sipping on her smoothie. She wasn't happy about Waleed's decision in anyway.

"Because I'm old enough" his words came out a little too rude and even he himself knew that.

The room was silent for about a minute until Waleed's dad decided to speak "He is right. I think he should start leaving on his own now. As it is he has his own business and he is doing very well" his father said which earned him a deadly glare from his wife who formed a fist.

"I don't approve of this" Waleed's mum said with a frown on her face.

"Mum i am almost twenty five and i think i can take care of myself" his face was so neutral as he spoke which made Bilkis swallow a lump.

"He is right" Waleed's father declared which earned him another glare from his wife. "We can't keep him here forever you know" Waleed's dad added.

After much thought by Waleed's mum, she finally decided to agree but with a condition "Okay. But you must take a maid with you!" His mum said which made him groan.

"Mum i do not_" before he could complete his statement his mum immediately shut him up with a deadly glare.

"Shut up. You need a maid" his mother declared.
"Alright whatever" he mumbled which made a smile appear on his mum's face.

"And Labeelah will make the perfect Maid" his mother said happily and he nodded with a chicken in his mouth.

Anisah and Bilkis sat on the couch in Anisah's house talking about all that happened today in each of their houses.

"So you mean Waleed is back? And he is more arrogant than usual?" Anisah asked and Bilkis nodded.

"Yes that's pretty much it" Bilkis threw a nut in her mouth in frustration. "And I miss the old Waleed, This one is so rude and annoying. He complains over everything and talks to me once in a while. Like yesterday his last words to me were Billie please can you turn down the music. And do you know what's more baffling?" Bilkis asked Anisah who nodded in the negative with a humorous laugher.

"He said it so rudely!" Bilkis said dramatically and Anisah laughed once again.

"Well I'm glad I'm not going to meet him" Anisah said making Bilkis hiss.
"Well i hate to say this, but you are lucky" Bilkis said and Anisah laughed once again.

"Uhum... Did you speak to Mamah About me" Anisah sat up from her position.
"Yeah i did and she said that she doesn't have any job for you but when she does she'll inform me" Bilkis said making Anisah make a sad pout.

"I love your eyes" Bilkis said in words that Anisah was very familiar with coming from her.

"Thank you for loving my witch eyes" Anisah said making Bilkis roll her perfectly brown eyes.

"Anisah forget about what people say. Your eyes are a part of you so please be proud of it" Bilkis said making Anisah wipe the tears that had already formed in her eyes.

"It actually hurt when Bolaji removed my glasses in junior school"Anisah said recalling the day when a naughty boy from school pulled her glasses right of her face. It was a very embarrassing day for her because students started calling her a witch.

"Don't cry Anisah" Bilkis engulfed her in a very heartwarming hug. "Forget about it" Bilkis said.

"And even Madam Sahabat said that no man will ever marry me. I hate my blue eyes" Anisah said almost in a whisper as she sniffed.

"Madam Sahabat has always been a fool so let not her words get to you. You are perfect and you'll be perfect in the eyes of who will someday love you" Bilkis said and Anisah nodded with a sniff.

"Let's go the swimming pool. I fell like dipping my legs in water" Bilkis said and Anisah nodded, maybe sometime outside will make her feel good, she thought.

Bilkis and Anisah got up and took their leave for the swimming pool which is located at the back of the mansion.

In not less than Five minutes they were before the swimming pool where they both dipped their legs into the water.

"This feels so good" Bilkis said with her hands spread wide in the air.

"Yeah" Anisah agreed with a nod.

They both sat in silence enjoying the serene that came with the cool breeze and warm water. It all felt so amazing.

"Anisah" Bilkis voice held fear as she called unto Anisah who turned her full attention to her.

"What happened?" Anisah asked in a whisper.
"There's someone or something in the water" Bilkis said pointing at a direction which was having a bubbling effect.

"Yes, there's someone there" Anisah said. "Whose there?" Both Anisah and Bilkis yelled in unison but they went unanswered.

"Maybe it's a maid and maybe the person is drowning" Anisah said.

"Yeah i think we should go help" with that said, they both fell into the swimming pool and swam to the direction where the bubbly effect was taking place.

Just as they were about to dive into the water,  A person with a broad shoulder Aroused from the water with his hair splashing water all over their already drenched face.

"Waleed" Bilkis said the moment she saw his handsome face come into view.
