Read Story: SEASON 1 EPISODE 31
Ahmad.
âGoddammit!â I cursed under my breath as I hit the steering wheel of my car. The engine had refused to reignite and that was what made me furious. Thus, I stormed out of the car and hit one of the front tyres with my foot.
Today was Sunday and I had just finished shopping for dinner in Kure Ultramodern Market, Minna. When I came with my car it was fine but now I didnât know what was wrong with it.
I pulled out my phone from my pocket about calling my mechanic when a man in dark blue caftan appeared with a Salam. He was very fair, just like me but was more taller in height.
âAsSalama Alaykumâ He greeted me.
âWaâalaykumu Salamâ I responded.
âYour car, what is wrong with it?â He asked.
âIt doesnât want to reviveâ I complained.
âCan I help?â He rose a brow.
âAre you a mechanic?â I asked because he didnât look like one. He looked pampered.
âNo, but I studied Mechanical Engineering in Federal University of Technology, Minnaâ He said proudly while wearing a broad smile.
âOkeyâ I said as I handed him the car key.
He stormed into the car and tried igniting the engine several times but his efforts were abortive. Thus, he stormed out and opened the bonnet. He began touching things and as soon as he was done he returned back to the car and like a miracle the engine revived after two consecutive attempts. He turned it off and turned it on again, it was fine. Thus, he turned it off and stormed out. âYouâre good to goâ He said handing the key back to me. I was so happy!
âThank youâ I collected the key. âHow much is my payment?â I asked as I gently pulled out my wallet from my jeans pocket. âTell me, pleaseâ
âYou think I did this for money?â He smirked and extended his hand for a shake. âMy name is Kamal Suleiman, but you can call me Ka7â
âKa7?â I puzzled as we shook hands.
âYes, the âKaâ stands for my name while the â7â stands for 7th born. I am the 7th born in my familyâ He said and continued. âAnd you?â
âAhmad Jaafar Zaki, the sole heir of Zaki Companyâ I proudly introduced myself.
âWow!â He dropped his jaw. âHmm, I know your products. They are allover our houseâ
âReally?â I giggled.
âYes!â He responded. âNice to meet you, sirâ
âYouâre welcomeâ I said as I swiped through my phone to the dialer. âSay your numberâ
âOkeyâ He said and, thus, gave me his contact.
I flashed him and asked him to save my contact. He looked younger than me and appeared to be from a wealthy family too. We talked for some minutes before we finally bade each other goodbye. I drove home late and hopefully, Rania wasnât angry with me. I helped her cooked dinner and, thus, we ate, observed our magrib and Isha prayers before retiring for the night. It was a great day!
â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘
The following day, after taking my breakfast, I bade Rania goodbye and drove to work. I didnât normally go to work at such early hours but I had a meeting to attend in Zaki Headquarters which my father was the one in charge. It was about the expansion of Zaki Group. Many shareholders would be there too.
I took some valuable files from my table and summoned my secretary through the intercom. âJemima, Iâm readyâ I said and in less than a minute she appeared before me.
âHelp me with these files, the meeting is about to startâ I said extending the bulky files to her.
âOkey, butâŚâ She hesitated.
âBut what?â I rose a brow.
âI am kind of, I donât know, feeling feverishâ She said as she gently took the files from me.
âFeverish?â I said as I placed my hardel on her neck. Her temperature was somehow high. âSorryâ I heaved a sigh and collected the files from her. âYou should go home, Jemimaâ
âOkey sir, but who will go with you? Should I call Sophia, Shuaibat or Humairah?â She said.
âCall Humairahâ I said without a second thought. Yes, and I knew she must come.
âOkey sirâ Jemima said and left.
After almost 5 minutes, Humairah arrived with anger written allover her face. âWhat do you want again?â She fired a question to me.
Actually, she looked so beautiful in that angry face. Wait, did I just admired her? Like seriously? I smirked at my own self.
âI want you to help me with these filesâ I said.
âThatâs Jemimaâs workâ She snapped.
âYes but, Jemima isnât feeling wellâ I said.
âShould I callâŚâ She was saying when I cut in.
âSilence!â I exclaimed and that made her jolt. Thus, I heaved a sigh and took the files to her. âFollow me with this and if you try anything selfish I swear to God I will⌠I am going toâŚâ
I couldnât even find the right word so I left her there and walked out of the factory to my car outside. I knew she was definitely coming so I patiently waited for her in the car. It was quarter to 9 and the meeting was holding by 9.
One thing I still didnât understand was my feelings for Humairah. Was it love or normal feelings? I didnât just know. Hmm, maybe she was my soulmate but how was that even possible?
âOpen the door, sir!â She said as soon as she arrived. She was standing by the back door.
âCome to the front, I need you hereâ I said.
âHuh!â She squealed. âBut I⌠I thought I was only going to convey these to your car, sirâ
âNo, youâre following me to our headquarters!â
âBut why me of all people, sir?â She said.
âI also donât knowâ I said as I unlocked all the doors of the car by pressing a button. âDrop the files in the back seat and come sit in the front seatâ I added like the boss I used to be.
âOkey thenâ She said, and guess what? She dropped the files in the back seat and sat close to it. âLets go, sirâ She rudely uttered.
âHey, Humairah!â I turned to her. âAre you not supposed to be in the front with me?â I asked.
âSir, I didnât heard you wellâ She rolled her eyes at me and began operating her phone.
âFine!â I angrily said as I turned and started the car. âMake sure you fasten your seatbeltâ
âDonât even pretend as if you careâ She said in what seemed like a whisper but I heard her.
âYou say?â I asked to be sure.
âNothing!â She squealed.
