SHIFA SALEEM
I completed my work as usual, Geetu bid me farewell since it was her last day at her work. I'll be seeing her at work after year or so. I wish her well and infrom her to let me know if she is struggling financially.
Nahima and Tanisha paid me a visit as usual and inquired about my new assistant. I tell them it's Shifana, and they say they're glad since its someone we know.
Tanisha questions "Between there were bodyguards out there, did something happen here?" i tilt my head, unsure of what she was talking about.
"There were no securities before, but when we entered the building, there were approximately 10 securities. Three in front door, Five in the main hall and Two on your floor. I couldn't spot any securities in canteen or any other floors." Nahima says as i stand from the chair.
"There weren't any securities in the morning but how come now?" I respond as we all glance at each other. I dial my colleague on the next floor, who is a junior therapist, and inquire her about the so-called bodyguards.
I put the line on speaker "I heard that the owner of this building's business partner offered some security services. I asked the main receptionist and that's what they said." She responded when i asked about it.
I cut the line thanking her and turning towards my friends. "Isn't that building owner your father-- i meant now your brother shuhaib?" Nahima asks as i respond with "I guess i'll have to ask him about it when i get home."
We get back to our chitchat as i grab my bag to go out and hangout with my friends. We made all the way downstairs and as i stepped out of the building, a man with a stern voice spoke up prompting me and my friend to turn and take a look at him.
"Miss Shifa, is it?" The man questioned me. "Yes...I am, Is there anything u want to talk about?" I ask in return almost inquiring him because he was kinda nervous when he approached me. It was one of the so-called-security my bestie's mentioned.
"O-Oh y-yeah, A man dropped this present for you and informed me that it should reach you and only you." He responded by handing me a bouquet of flowers. Again a flower bouquet.
I thank him for it, even though i know it's strange and weird at the same time. Bestie's eyes were fixed on me and the flower bouquet i just received. Instead of asking who sent it, i was simply glad that i had received a flower from God-knows who.
Nahima questions the security guard, or u can say he was a bodyguard with all those strong muscles and a gun placed on their pant. Nahima questiones if he knew who it is and starts asking about his features, "I-I dont know Ma'am" was all he could say. But why is he stuttering though?
Tanisha questions why the securities appeared out of nowhere, and he says it was all an order from up-above, which he can't share because it's his job. Me still staring at the random flower i got from a total stranger.
We thank him and walk to our car. I find a note inside the bouquet that was hidden from the first glance, but is clearly visible when you stare at the flower. I inform my friends opening the note.
It was still the same black card, written in golden ink, that i received yesterday. I read the note to my besties, who could also hear it.
"I understand you're happy because of the flower but don't be, my halal little mouse. Don't you ever be this happy the next time you receive it from someone other than me. ~S"
I gasp at the note and turn to look around for anyone. My besties repeating the same thing, but there is no one. "L-little mouse?" Nahima blurts out looking at me as we both state together "Haunting Adeline!!."
"H-haunting Adeline? What do you guys mean by that?" Tanisha questions us confused as we explain the story. How a guy fell in love with a writer and he stalked her to make her his. Nahima explained each and every details to tanisha while i continued to look around to spot just anyone.
"Who the fuck would do this to you? Got any enemies, Shiff?" Tanisha asks concerned, and i respond with "Not anyone that i can think of." Nahima says she slide this. We rush over to our car, Nahima drove my car.
It's not like I'm scared, but i do feel anxious knowing that i clearly have a stalker. How dare he do this in secretly rather than confronting me.
I'm just as curious as my friends about who it could be. Nahima drives off my car to Tanisha's house parking over, same goes for tanu who parks her car next to mine and we enter her home.
We greet tanu's mom, who offers us a drink and invites us to stay for dinner, but because we were in hurry, we tell aunty that we won't be here long and thank her. We rush upstairs, Tanu lending her laptop and nahimu begins fast typing on the keyboard.
Since nahimu is learning coding and programming with the help of her so-called hacker, our target was to examine the camera footage to catch a glimpse of the man who gave the flower.
Even if we ask staff at our building for assistance, they are gonna reject us telling they can't do that. Tanisha tried calling them, and they reject saying they can't do it. But the only other option is to check with the help of my brother shuhaib.
But i can't say that to him, if he just get's a glimpse of a stranger sending me a random flower, he will outburst and i dont know what he will cause since he has taken over the company to himself.
Shuhaib definitely will inform my other 2 brothers, that's what happened when they caught my ex cheating on me. And this is a total stranger, it will be even worse if i inform shuhaib.
After a while, Nahima sighs and tells us she couldn't find anyone in the camera footage which she hacked to get information. Absolutely no one. The flower given to the security was not even seen in the footage.
It is clearly cunning, i meant the so-called stalker of mine. My phone buzz as i slid my hand through my side bag to check the notification i just received. An unknown person has sent a message.
Unknown- "Didn't like the flower, Princess? I thought my queen would appreciate it since you placed my first flower in your office. Why rush off with that worried expression with your friends?"
My mind went blank after reading this. Nahimu and tanu recognized something that triggered me and approached me, reading the text i had just received.
"He has quite the nerve to text you? Tanu says, "Lemme trace the number" Nahima says as she again starts tapping on the laptop. Speed typing and again a sigh leaving from her.
"Untraceable" She mutters annoyingly, and i tell them to just leave it. And let's see if he still does it even if i ignore and remain silent.
Nahimu and i said goodbye to tanu, both of them still concerning about me. "Inform us if he texts you again or if you feel uncomfortable." Nahimu says as tanu continues "Yes, and whenever you want to go out, don't go alone."
I tell them it will be quite alright and obey them. I drove to Nahima's house and bid her farewell. Nahima continues to advise caution and telling to be careful. We both are quite excited and scared at the same time.
I drive home, calling my besties to reassure them that i am safe. I reach home and greet my parents, brother and bhabi. The flower bouquet was no longer with me. Nahima tossed it when i dropped at her house.
SHAHID SAIF
I guess my Noor didn't like my flower, I mutter to myself. Ishan helped me in clearing the footage from the building and even made my new number untraceable to anyone. He really should form his own organization.
I was sitting in my Porsche, watching the security guard i ordered give her my flower. Her face was completely pale. Did i go too far?, I shouldn't have.I message her from my new number i set up just for her.
But there was no response to my text. Is she not bothered at all? Or is it she is trying to ignore me?
I thought she enjoyed the story since she was sweet laughing while reading it. I guess she was laughing because of those spicy part. Well i plan to, but only after our marriage. In a Halal version.
I suppose i should just stop it, if she doesn't respond to my texts. She is playing hard to get. So i text her one last time.
Me- "Playing hard to get, Princess?"
I'm pretty sure she'll be triggered by this message, cursing on my soul. So i leave another final message.
Me- "Curse all you want my halal little mouse, I know you are just curious to know who i am. Well since you want to ignore me, i will end this game here."
She responded immediately after I sent this message, just as i assumed.
Her- "You'd better stop this game. For your own good, or else you can't reach me no matter what."
Her response making my lips form an excited smile because she said, i would have a chance if i stopped this game and confronted her. I could understand it just from her text. Well if that's what she wants, I will gladly accept and go for it that way.
Thankyou for reading this chapter, Love ya.
