Read Story: SEASON 1 EPISODE 32
Humairah.
Against my will, I escorted Ahmad to their headquarters. It was a 15 storey building and the meeting was going to take place in the top floor thus, we both had to use the elevator.
âAre you still angry?â Ahmad broke the silence that had crept upon us. âPlease donât be angryâ
I didnât say anything to him because I didnât have his time. The bulky files I was holding had already began taking its toll on me, I was so eager for us to reach our destination.
âHere we go, my angelâ He said leading the way out of the elevator as soon as we reached the appropriate floor. It was so very crowded.
I should just pretend he didnât call me his angel. If I was the naive girl I was in the past three years I wouldâve been happy he called me his angel but now, now that I knew a lot about him, now that I knew men could call you sweet names and even escalate to the point of spending lot of money for you just to get what they want, I didnât think I could ever fall for his tricks. If he loved me he should just say it out, whatâs the big deal? Or was he just coy of me?
âGood day Mr. Khanâ Ahmad greeted an Asian man that was dressed in a Pakistani attire.
âAhmad, my boy, how are you?â The man said as they both shook hands with each other.
âI am fine sir, how about you and Kashaf?â Ahmad said as they began walking together.
âI am fine, Kashaf too. She had been asking about you, she wanted to come but I told her to stay because she has exam tomorrowâ The man said and continued. âHow is your wife?â
âSheâs fineâŠâ Ahmad replied.
They kept talking while walking until we reached a very big room. There was a round table for discussion inside and there were lot of people seated in their seats, some of whom were foreigners from different counties.
âKeep the files here Humairah, let me go and greet my father and his business associatesâ He said as he walked away as fast as he could.
I dropped the files on the table close to a tag which had âAhmad Jaafarâ written on it. Every top official could locate his seat through the tags, that means people like me would not have a place to sit. Like seriously? Hmmmm!
I watched Ahmad as he walked to a very old man and greeted him. It was his father, I hadnât seen the man in real life until today. I had only seen his portrays in Ahmadâs house and also in the factory. He was more fair in real life. Ahmad was just like his replica.
âAttention everyone, this is my son⊠Ahmadâ The man said through his mini microphone.
They all clapped their hands and, thus, Ahmad waved at them before coming back to where I was. âI hope I didnât keep you waiting?â He said as he sat in his seat and opened the files.
âYou just donât know what is bothering me, where do you expect me to sit?â I frowned.
âCanât you see how other peoples are standing too? Just stand there!â He said in a command tone. âAfter all, I am practically your bossâ
âLike seriously?â I puzzled.
âNo, like affirmatively!â He snapped.
âHmmmâ I muttered and remained silent.
The meeting began with an open prayer from a Saudi Arabian, thus introduction by Ahmadâs fatherâs personal assistant, and then the main discussion by the people that mattered. They kept talking and talking until they were done.
âThanks for backing me up, dadâ Ahmad said as soon as we walked to his father after the meeting. âI just hope that theyâre fully with usâ
âYou donât need to bother, I have everything under controlâ His father assured him smiling.
âAlright dad, I should be going back to the factory. I have some unfinished business to take care ofâ Ahmad apprised amicably.
âOkey son, take care of yourselfâ His father said with a broad smile. âMay Allah bless youâ
âAmeen, dadâ Ahmad took his bow.
Thus, we left the building to his car. I was so exhausted holding his f—–g files so I threw them in the back seat and just as I was about hopping into the car he held my hand firmly.
âHuh?â I glared at him.
âPlease, just stay in the front with meâ He said.
âBut why? Why are you doing this as if you love me??â I absentmindedly uttered that.
âHmmmâ He muttered. âI am sorry for the past and for everything. I know I really f—-d up!â
That moment, something told me he was trying to confess his feelings for me. I was eagerly waiting for him to do that for I had been waiting for this day to come. He should just say it out. âStop hurting yourselfâ I said.
âYes, I think Iâm hurting myself. And I think itâs high time I stopâ He said as he gently drew me more closer to him. âHumairah, I⊠I⊠I lovâŠâ
âWow, seems like my friendâs got a side chick!â A tall guy appeared from nowhere and interrupted such a rare occasion. He snatched away my chance of hearing what was deep inside Ahmadâs heart. I was so annoyed!
âKa7!â Ahmad said as he quickly released my hand and walked to the guy. âWhat are you doing here? I didnât expect you here, man!â
They shook hands with each other.
âWell, I was also in the meeting chamber. Didnât I told you yesterday that your products are allover our house? Thatâs because my father is a shareholder tooâŠâ The idiot guy explained.
âOh, Alhaji Suleiman Wushishi??â Ahmad dropped his jaw while widening his eyes.
âYes, heâs my father!â The guy pouted.
âSorry I told him to shut up in the meetingâ Ahmad implored him in a guilty manner.
âOh no, you guys already resolved itâ The guy said as he winked at me for the umpteenth time. He had been doing that to me since. âI hope your wife doesnât know about this?â
âAbout what?â Ahmad pretended ignorance.
âAbout this your side chickâ The guy said and winked at me again. I had to give him a glare!
âSheâs working with me so donât think too muchâ Ahmad said gesturing to me to enter the car. He was wearing that BOSS face again!
âReally?â The guy screamed and continued. âAhmad, if that is the case then I love herâŠâ
I was surprised on hearing that. Love or lust? I asked myself as I stormed into the car as ordered by Ahmad. People like that Ka7 guy are evil, the way he was winking at me told me all he wanted was my body. Well, who had his time? He should look for someone else not me!
