Chapter two👑

"Leave me alone Sheikh, can't you see I'm trying to work" she shot angrily and spun herself back. Mammiey was the only one who calls him by his middle name except his grandfather who personally gave him that for a reason only known to him.

He decided not to drag it any further knowing the consequences. He pressed his head on her hers before leaving the room.

He shut the door after himself and headed straight for his room to freshen up.

After showering, he dressed up in a blue hoodie and black sweatpants. He called his secretary to hold all his calls till Monday except they are very important so that nothing would ruin their family weekend.

He came out of his  room,he texted Zulfa to meet him at the staircase landing so that they could play their table tennis. He leaned against the railings and watch as Zulfa got her phone and wore her fluffy slippers in a rush.

She had already climbed almost seven steps when Abbiey called her back calmly as he entered the living room.

Khalil looked closely and saw that Abbiey came in with his closest friend and recognized as him as of the largest shareholders at the Al-farsi Enterprise.

He was about to dodge the meeting when Abbiey called him back. He let out an inward groan and went down to meet Abbiey and his friend.

Zulfa just finished greeting them and went to stand at the far right of Abbiey. Khalil squatted down and respectively greeted him.

"It's good to see you apart from during office hours" he then turned to Abbiey "he took after you in the way he handles the company. Gently but strongly" he said gesturing with his hands.

Khalil went to stand by Zulfa as they further moved into the living room. After both friends finished cracking their jokes and laughing to them, they turned to Khalil and Zulfa who abruptly stiffened their shoulders on instinct.

"Me and Abbas have been making plans for us to meet his family but one thing or the other has always hinder our plans"

"But today has such a wonderful weather, don't you think? So get ready because we are having dinner at their house" he said clasping his hands together.

Both of them were taken off guard at the announcement but Zulfa was the first to recover. She almost jumped out of her skin with excitement as she skipped upstairs to get ready.

"Don't mind her,she gets so excited to meet new people"

Khalil grinned too and shook the waiting hand of Alhaji Abbas before excusing himself to get ready as Alhaji Abbas made the call to his parents.

Abbiey left too to inform Mammiey about their outing and also got ready for the dinner.

In less then an hour they were all ready as they all donned on traditional wears and then they were set to go.

The Al-farsis had one kind of a bad habit and that was to show off their wealth on any opportunity they get and that day wasn't an exception.

The Al-farsi loved to move in style and class. Alhaji Abbas led them to his house with his Mercedes, Abbiey and Mammiey followed by his tail as they rode on their kia Sorento while Zulfa and Khalil followed behind them in his Aston Martin Valkyrie and a Meserati behind them as the escort.

It was a fifteen minutes drive to the house as Khalil let Zulfa fill him in on what was going on her school life which he listened to with rapt attention but didn't take his eyes off the road.

When they got to the house they all alighted from their cars and moved into the magnificent mansion that stood in front of them.

The advanced inside the posh living room and were greeted by his wife, Hajiya Maymunah.
