"Tariff, we have been roaming around for the past half an hour and we still didn't pick any apple"

" Angel i...i saw the tree here i don't know where it disappeared" he cried out.

I chuckled at his childish gesture, i swear kids are such a blessing. He was so happy when i said yes to apple picking, my aunt had some guests coming over and it was a good chance for a get away so off we came to this garden that wasn't very far from home, we have been searching for Tariff's "special tree" all along and my aunt's hardwork was visible through every seed i watched in admiration as the path of trees prolongled it was a never ending sight and my heart swelled with the love that i had for this woman.

"There it is! Angel my favorite tree, there"

And it was the biggest tree with the most fruits on this garden.

" Now i know why it's your favorite tree" i smiled.

"Let's pick up the apples now, you want to eat apple pie in the evening don't you"

" Yesssss angel " he shouted in excitement.

"Sir, Ms.Zuhuur has agreed to hold the meeting at her house" my Secretary informed me and it was one of the most satisfying thing i have heard all day, i decided to blackmail my investors into holding meeting at a "suitable" environment and ms.Zuhuur's house was one of the most accommodating so i grabbed my chance to see her again, if she will be there. Hopefully

I immediately got ready and called my driver I told him the address and we were on our way, my heart started beating fast with every minute as we neared our destination and her face couldn't stop coming in front of me.

'Who are you and what are you doing  to me?'

"Sir, we are here" my driver's voice took me out of my thoughts, just a few more steps and i will know who you are, fixing my posture i went inside i was welcomed by a rather annoyed Zuhuur and i smiled in satisfaction knowing well that she hates to discuss business at home.

"Jay, did we really have to meet here, you know i don't really like bringing business in my house"

And i knew just what to say, Zuhuur had a thing for ancient items and i had to use my sources to get the best gift to please her.

"I know i know ms.Zuhuur but i had a surprise for you so i had to make it more special and i obviously liked the atmosphere of your house the other night and so it was an excuse to see such a piece of art, i looked around smirking as i know she fell for that.

" Thank you Jay, you know Zuhuur gets the best in everything and this house is just another one, let's go inside they are waiting for us and i also can't wait for the surprise"

Bull's eye.

It seems like we came back early there are cars outside the house which means the guests are still there, "Tariff take these to your mom am gonna come back okay?"

"Okay Angel, we are still making the apple pies right?" his smile always makes me melt.

"Yes we are my dear now go we don't want the apples to go bad right, go go "

I somehow have to get to my room but how, i had to think about a plan when i saw the gardener coming out of a side  door that i didn't know existed until now, i rush over to ask him if it by any means leads to the stairs and to my surprise it did i have never been so relieved, i take the route and as he said it led me to the stairs i sighed in relief and started walking but my happiness was short-lived when someone yanked me and i was dragged behind the stairs.
