My BACKBONE❤

Chapter 3: My Angel

"Hello? Moh, where are you?"
"Bro? I'm on the way to Zahra. At work. Wazzup?"
"Let me take that one. Come. I'm going down...from the office."
"Alright. Just don't let me loose my job."
"Ha ha ha! You can have mine by then."
"Crazy! Hurry, I'm one minute away."

The day just started, but Mezo already want a escape from all the stressful stuffs that his dad brought to his mind. And this is how it goes everytime. He takes his bestfriend's job to,  somehow, breath a bit. His bestfriend got used to it already.

"Your one minute seems forever bro. Here! Take my car and wait for me in the same spot as always." Throwing his car key to him.
"Hey! Don't go for a raise, but be fast. The booking was almost 30mins. ago!"..Moh with a 😉.
"What the.... Are you crazy?? Come on, forward the details." He then hopped in the car and drove off real quick leaving his bestfriend Moh who was all smile at the possible scene he was about to face with the costumer.

He took the quickest route to reach the costumer.
As he got near the spot of the booker on the navigator, he spotted a woman in a repeatedly irritated motion, checking the time on her wrist watch then looking at his way. Slowly pulled over in front of the woman to ask if she's the booker. But then....

"After ten years?? Really??"
"Sorry. Too much traffic."
"I booked earlier coz I want it on time. Drive! Fast! I must reach there on time."
"Ok"

He was out of words almost immediately. Not from the fact that the woman seems like she can blow fire at the moment or what..but because he was enchant by the pretty face that was just a meter away from behind.

Though her long black hair was a bit messy, probably because of the long wait for "him"-----the uber, it just added up to mesmirized him. Her very natural asian looks, with a bit of jew angle facing the window of the car and not paying even a glance on him, was just on point, for him to keep gazing from the rear mirror.
He almost wished for whole day road trip to her destination.
But no. He had to send her off as "he is an uber driver" for that moment.

Lucky enough...the universe grant him a way to have her number. But that luck did not stay for long.

"Hello, Mezo...." a call that got him back to the office and be occupied until dark.

He wasn't even able to switch car with  Moh. But honestly, at the back of his mind,  he wanted to keep the car and call the pretty woman after his work, to take her back home and hopefully start a way to know her more, which obviously did not happened.

"I hope that was not the first and last for us.." ...murmuring to himself while looking at the number saved in his phone with his chosen name for her.......?

-----------------------------------------------------------

"Good morning Sir." says the guard to Mezo as he entered QATAR GAS CORP. Bldg. B.

"Good morning." he firmedly replied.

As he walked thru the elevator, a familiar figure caught his eyes. A woman sitting in the waiting area next to the receptionist. He looked around as if he was about to do something inappropriate. He then snicked a closer look.

"Huh....?!" he gasp in disbelief on what is going on.

"Oh God..what did I do to deserve such a wonderful morning." a question lingered to his mind while his lips curved a little smile.

Then almost without a blink,  he stood still, watching the beauty which, at the moment, innocently admiring her surroundings.

"Wait...what is she doing here?" asking  himself.

He hoped to stay longer, but then the receptionist called the woman..

He almost run to his office after over-hearing where the woman is going.

"Jen. What do I have this morning?"to his secretary while walking-in to his office.

"Good morning Sir. You told me to look for a partimer sir. Someone responded to our post and Ms. Abby from the reception is sending her now for screening." she deliverately replied as she followed him inside.

"Ok. Send her IN as soon as she arrive."

"Ok Sir."

He mastered being formal especially at work, but just now, he wasn't sure if he was abled to pull out the excitement from his voice.

He then phoned the receptionist.

"Hello."

"Hello. Good morning Sir. How may I help you?"

"Close the partime seekers screening."

"Uhm. Ok Sir. But Sir...the first one is already on her way there as per Ms. Jen's advise."

Then a knock on his door was heared. He quickly turned his chair facing his back to , now, two women entering his office.

"Sir, Ms. Rivas is here."

He waved his had without turning, understandably telling her to leave it to him.

"Its ok. I already told her what to do. Thank you." firmly ending the call.

Her secretary left the room. Then he turned around with a skipping heartbeat wearing all the smile.

"Hello Ms. Rivas. Nice to see you again."

Added to his seemingly a fortune of happiness, she recognised him immediately and unconsciously left a gap in her lips making her look much more innocent.

Who would have thought that the owner of the most recent entry in his phonebook will appear in front of him as if sent by heaven as a perfect meaning to his chosen name for her in his list....

"My Angel"
