CHAPTER 32: MAMA BEAR

Birthday gift number 2!

Monday came meaning both Jannah and Suhad have to go to work.

Jannah dressed up in a printed pearl white wrap top tucked in a straight pale pink pants. She then picked out a matching long coat and shrugged it on. With her head cap securely wrapped on her head, she out on her dupatta like hijab over her head leaving the end loose. Today she went down a notch on the makeup. She did apply makeup, but minimal unlike before. Unlike her usual matte maroon lipstick, a nude one replaced it. As she slipped into her heels, she put her phone in her bag holding the car keys in her hand.

She adores that key so much that she had been sleeping with it beside her for the past two days. At first, she slept with it in her hand but she always loses it eventually at a point, so she kept it beside her securely beside her pillow.

Suhad tried to get it away from her but he couldn't. Every time he does, she threatens to take his car instead so he gave up.

Guy doesn't play with his car. And neither does she.

The amusing part is that they both have the same car now. The only difference is that Suhad's car is raven black while hers is grey.

To say she was happy when he gave her the car will be an understatement. It's safe to say that she showed him just how much she appreciated it. After taking the car for an hour test drive that is. Suhad had never been so scared of losing his life like that day. She drove recklessly. He knew that she only did that to joke around but still, he couldn't do anything now. The damage is done; the car is hers now.

Making her way downstairs, she already gave the maids instructions on what to cook while she's gone so she made her way to her most beloved treasure, her new Porsche. Suhad left for work half an hour ago after they had breakfast together.

Jannah made her way out and to the parking lot where her SUV, the Porsche and Suhad's cars are, including his Panamera. Unlike her, he doesn't not plan on taking it to work every day. Maybe because owning something like that isn't new to him.

Getting in the driver's seat, she revved the car to life whilst keeping her bag on the passenger's seat. With one hand on the steering wheel, and a coffee in the other hand, she drove to work. Unlike the usual, she finished the coffee before she reached work.

As she pulled in the parking lot of ANNA's, she felt a sudden surge of confidence she thought she lost after the last event that happened in relation to the place. But with Mr. S gone now, she's sure everything will be as okay as it can be. So, with that thought in mind, she opened the door and stepped out with her bag firmly held in her hands.

She didn't make the same mistake she made on her first day in this place though. This time, she made sure she knows where she's going so that she does not fall again. She knows that people are already talking about her, so she doesn't want to give them any reason more to talk.

With her head held up high, she sauntered into the building. A couple of people who knew what happened turn to look at her, some whisperings stuff amongst themselves but she didn't let their words affect her. She only smiled at the man by the door who has always been nice to her. She entered the elevator along with some workers there. She didn't spare any of them a glance throughout the seconds that took them to the floor they worked.

"Oh My God" Fatimah said the minute she saw Jannah walk in and sashayed her way to her friend, ignoring the others. They can let their eyeballs fall of out of staring and she won't give a damn. She engulfed her friend and sister in law the minute they are within arms-length.

"Hey" Jannah chuckled when Fatimah tightened her hold around her friend. "I miss you too" she didn't need Fatima to voice the words out, she knows already.
