Nuaimat drove back home feeling light hearted and with smiles, she entered the house and met them having dinner,
"Hey" she called,
"Dinner" asked Zohra
"No, had a nice one at Dominos" she said with a smile, "welcome Mummy" called Tanisha, "hey Angel, everyone says hy, especially your uncle Uzair" she said with a smile, Zaid suddenly choked,
"You met him" asked Tanisha
"Yeah in his hospital"
"Wow" exclaimed Tanisha,
"Yeah wow, see you upstairs girls" with that she headed upstairs.
The next day, Nuaimat woke up early, she was now in the kitchen and was now slicing some fruits when Zohra came in,
"Ubayd's elders have met with Ameerah's elders, the wedding was fixed a month after yours" said Nuaimat as she offered Zohra a bowl with different sliced fruit,
"Wow, Ubayd is really serious" said Zohra as she picked a sliced apple,
"Zohra thats not a nice thing"
"What the guy is always not serious with things like this, but since it has reached this point, i think he is serious" said Zohra
"Yeah and he so much loves her, i can see" said Nuaimat, "so when will you fix your engagement day" asked Zohra
Nuaimat gave her a look and Zohra raised an eyebrow, "what engagement" she asked
"You and Ya Zaid"
"Oh, you know i spoke with El Amin, we are ready to strike"
"Really, when will we"
"In two weeks".
In the afternoon Muayad and Nuaimat had an argument, "look am not going, go if you want to am not stopping you from visiting your father" she yelled descending the stairs, "he is also your father" shouted Muayad following her down,
"No not when i got pregnant with Tanisha and that is till date" she yelled
"He is sorry, he has being the very day he found the truth, give him a chance"
"What is wrong" asked Zohra,
"Our father just got admitted into the hospital, high B.P, and she won't go" complained Muayad
"As far as i am concern i have no father, so am not going" she said adamantly
"He is sick" said Zohra
"I don't care" she said,
"Come Muayad, i will go with you to Kano" said Zohra
"Oh really, you don't even know this man" said Nuaimat shocked
"Yeah, stop me if you can" said Zohra and walked away, Nuaimat hissed and walked out.
Zaid.
Three days later after Muayad and Nuaimat scenario, Zohra and Muayad came back from Kano with updates that his is in a stable condition, and that he has being asking for Nuaimat, Nuaimat didn't show any sign of pity nor remorse, she just shrugged and continued beating the batter she made, right there she had a row with Zohra, i didn't say a word, because supporting the two will not help me in getting Nuaimat to talk to me, yes i missed her, i know i have being hard, so telling her she is wrong will be ...........
I was seated in the office, when the door was bust open and guess who walked in angrily, UZAIR,
"Are you insane" he yelled
"Says the guy who walked into my office like a mad dog" i scoffed,
"Why are you doing this to her, for God sake isnt it enough she loves you" he yelled,
Wait is he talking about Nuaimat "are you talking about my girlfriend, who gave you the privilege to interfere" i asked
"Let me tell you this, she is just a young girl of 21, the responsibility is too much, cut her girl some slacks and stop pushing and expecting her to act like some one more mature"
"How dare you lecture me on how to treat my girlfriend" i yelled, just when the door opened and there was Nuaimat,
"Nuaimat" he said on turning,
"Uzzy...what's up" she asked with a smile,
"Nothing i was....... "so you report me to Uzair" i accused interrupting Uzair
"What" she inquired, "yes, what else did you tell him, Aima, i really am curious" i asked angrily
"Oh please Zaid, i have no intrest in reporting you, why because it's a waste of time and i don't care what you do or say, that is the least of my worries, so think again" she said with a shrug and a smirk,
"What" i exclaimed
"Uzzy, i know you will like the grilled fish here, lets get to the cafeteria, my treat" she said to my dismay, she was even smiling,
Uzair let out a sigh and went out before her, "so sorry to disturb you BOSS" she said stressing the boss and went out,
As i saw her leave, i let out a loud groan and force closed the system infront me, i tried very hard to compose myself, because i have a board meeting in 30.
I appeared at the meeting room with every director, the meeting started,
during the meeting, i asked "and where is the director for international relations"
"Um sire, she couldn't make it, so she sent me down to representative her" said a guy, i was shocked "and who are you" i asked,
"My name is Ashir Salman and i am her new secetary and PA" he said
"What" i exclaimed and from the corner of my eyes i saw Zohra, Ubayd and even Muayad giggling,
"Her what" i asked taken aback
"Her PA" he answered, wait who gets a male PA, this is insane,
"When were you hired" i asked trying to compose myself, "this morning sire" he answered "what kept her too busy to not attend this meeting" i asked,
"I think since het PA is here, that should suffice" said Ubayd stressing the word PA,
I scowled and nodded,
I concentrated less and could recall nothing of the meeting because i kept on wondering why Nuaimat was absent that she has to sent a guy as her a PA, now two things kept on bothering me, was Uzair still in the building and still with Nuaimat and why a male PA,
As we stood up to leave i blocked Zohra's way "did you know about all this" i asked
"Hell no we had a row, remember" she said and chuckled "but that is cute, i mean a male PA, you know am thinking of following her lead" she said and laughed out the more, she turned and walked out laughing, i heard giggles behind me and on turning i saw Muayad and Ubayd pretended to be going through some papers, i hissed and walked, just when Naomi walked up to me, and before she could say something "not now Naomi" i said and walked away,
I headed straight to her office on getting off the lifter, on entering i saw her by her desk typing on her apple system, i was glad Uzair was nowhere around
"You were absent for the boards meeting" I said
"Then in that case you met with my PA, i believe he will give me a satisfactory updates so far, cause he has being very hard working so far" she answered me with a serious business tone, and her eyes still on the screen
"I want him gone" i said directly and coldly with authority
"You saying that as what, My boss, or my senior cousin brother or because you own this company" she asked still typing without sparing me a look,
"All" i replied, she smirked and continue typing, "then there are loopholes, as my cousin brother, that doesn't make you my guardian to decide for me, as the owner of this company, i am also one, as my boss, i will forward this issue to the board and see what they have to say about it, if that is all, the door is open, am a bit busy working" she said, she still didn't look at me, just then her so called PA came in, "um Aima" he said
Wait did he just call he by her nickname, what happened to the no formalities rule,
"Yes Ashy" she said with a smile and for the first time turning away from her systems, she called him Ashy, now that is it, i have enough, "the meeting......... "i will ask for that, but right now i want you to do other things for me, just sit down, while i finish typing on this" she said and added "make yourself comfortable", i hissed and walked out of the office fuming with anger.
What is she playing at.
So when i got back home late, i was all Moody and decided to stay up in my wing, after ishaai prayer i heard Nuaimat's voice showing she is back home, i sighed and continued with what i was doing.
The next morning Tanisha was throwing a tantrum that she is tired of staying at home, she wants to follow us to the office,
"The office will bore you to death baby trust me" said Nuaimat
"I don't care, i am not staying at home, no school, just dolls, you all at work" she yelled
"Alright now what do you want" asked Zohra
"Out" she said
"I told you school starts in three months, we have to wait for the term to end, that was the condition set for me in your new school" said Nuaimat
"I can't wait that long" she yelled in tears,
"Seriously your tears and yells aren't helping matters young lady" said Nuaimat
"Sorry" Tanisha said rather calmly
"Good, am going to the office and i want you to be the good girl you have being and when i come back early today, i will make smoothies and Pizza, we will have a slumber party up in your room" said Nuaimat, Tanisha nodded with a smile and said "sounds like a plan"
"Good, now i want you to go to everyone in this room and apologize for yelling because it's wrong to yell at elders especially one's parents and lucky you, you have bunch of them" said Nuaimat, damn am impressed by the way she handled this, so Tanisha put on her puppy face and first came to me, "am sorry for yelling Papa" she said with a pout, i smiled and picked her up, "it's owkey sweety, am sorry you have to be alone" i said and pecked her, Momma, uncle Pa Ayad am sorry for yelling" she said
"Isnt she cute why apologyizing" asked Zohra cooing, "i wouldn't take that real, cause when Ya Aima is like that, that my dear is another stage for mischief" said Muayad
"Ayad" warned Nuaimat, "don't get me wrong Nishatty, you are different" added Muayad and blew kisses to her, Nuaimat walked to me, "owkey, i have to go, stay good and i love you" she said and pecked Tanisha's on both cheeks and walked out
"I love you so much Mummy" Tanisha shouted back, Nuaimat turned and blew kisses to her and went out, i pecked her on the lips and gently place her down.
In the office around past 12, i decided to go to Nuaimat's office, on reaching turning into the corner i saw her and Uzair about to enter her office, i was filled up with rage and before i knew it, i badge into the office,
"what are you playing at Uzair" i snapped
The two were not shocked but rather gave me a disappointed look, "she is my girl" i stressed
Uzair chuckled and said "is this how to think of me"
"What"
"It's clear she is in love with you, so why will i be tailing her my friend's girlfriend" he said
"Friend, you told on me to gain her love" i snapped
"We both made the mistake and am sorry" he said sadly
"You are not chasing my girl, then what are you doing in her office" i asked
"I had to give her her test results" he said motioning to the giant envelope in his hands, "test, what test, what result" i asked alarmed
He turned accusingly to Nuaimat, "i thought you said you told him" he asked
"I didn't Uzzy" she said and walked to her seat behind it's desk, "so much for trust" said Uzair with disappointment in his voice,
"Don't be a dramatist, i said i could tell him, key word COULD, so if i wish i won't" she said sounding irritated,
"Good, so now you have to tell him, cause am not telling him anything" he said
"Can someone say something, what test" i
asked impatiently,
"Am out of here" he said and place down the envelope on a table and walked towards me
"Do fine time and visit, am running out of excuses for why you won't show up, the kids miss you, i miss my friend too" he said, patted me on the shoulder and walked out with a certain feeling like a HANDSTAND.
