Fizah

غفلت|Ghaflat

Fizah was entertained after she was told to become the spectator of her boss and his friend's nonsensical fight over why Zahid didn't call Ehan when he needed him. Her eyes rolled back from one to another, her hand wrapped near her chest over her dupatta that flailed till a few inches above her ankles.

"I didn't want someone to blow up the place." Zahid commented nonchalantly and sat back in his chair making Fizah gasp at it. He did not just say that.

"Says who." Taunted Fizah as she arched a perfect brow at him and turned her head away after he glared at her.

"What'd he do?" Ehan sauntered to her with surprise and astonishment gleaming in his eyes. Fizah cleared her throat, feeling Zahid's eyes on her. She fake coughed a laugh and gestured to Ehan to sit.

"So my boss here is a bit moody who had not at all threatened a government officer with his job." She batted her eyelids innocently at her boss who was ready to throw her out. Ehan scooted closer to Zahid and watched him with a distant look before he smacked the side of his head.

"Jerk." Zahid bellowed, rubbing the place where Ehan hit him. His eyes darkened after he thought about how the commissioner treated him back at the station, he was totally deluded and Zahid would have to teach him a lesson no matter how and what.

"There was no reason to say it to him." Zahid cawed to Fizah who sat relentlessly on the handrest of the couch placed in his office.

"You're doing some injustice here, you can do anything you want and he can't stand up for his what.. friend?" She spoke in a rhetorical manner.

"This is not the way you talk to your boss." He glared at her only to realize how her fear of him faded away somewhere in the background. She was not as she used to be when she came for the interview, she had grown somewhat carefree and less fearful.

"It is the same way you made me sit here and watch your useless fight, how am I expected to side with you when you're the one at fault?"

"Phir janab, haar ka maza chak ke kaisa laga?" Ehan gave him eyes.

"Jaaraha hai ya main tujhey yahi dafan kardun?" Zahid almost threw a paper weight at Ehan who raised his hand in surrender. He then shrugged his shoulders and walked out of his cabin with the intention to irritate Zahra.

"Atleast be polite to your friends!" She chided and got up on her heels to go continue the works she was forced to leave when she was brought there to be the judge of their quarrels.

"Like brother, like sister." He mumbled but Fizah was able to hear it.

"I heard that." She yelled on her way out.

"Like I care." He mumbled again but this time she was already out of his sight. Fizah came back to her office to find both Ehan and Zahra arguing about something, horror found residence in her face the moment she opened the door as she chanted,

"Ya Allah, not again."

"What are you both arguing about?" She asked to make her presence obvious.

"Emaad called to tell me that he was coming here with a lawyer."

"What is there to fight about?" She asked looking at Zahra to hear her side.

"Because I called our legal adviser who is also the company's lawyer."

"But?"

"That good for nothing loser backed off from the company." Ehan rolled his eyes. There was no single thing that went into her head as she looked at the both of them in confusion. What's there to even argue about when Saleh was out to bring a replacement.
