Chapter twenty-six

   Umma, Salim and the detective are back they sent us a location to meet them there. Said Ummi excitedly after badging into her mother's room.

     I think you should just go with Bahijjat in order to avoid suspicions, remember some of these servants are keeping an eye on us said Umma while watching the TV.

  Ok then bye boɗɗo.

      Ummi why did this weirdos have to choose this abandoned place to meet? I don't feel comfortable here.

     Miss this is the location they sent to us, so I don't have a say.
    
   Salam boɗɗo (beauty) with brains, said Mukhtar to Bahijjat.

   Wassalam to you too. Said Bahijjat while looking away.

  Boys and girls, please and please we shouldn't waste more time by arguing coz I smell tension around this place. Said Ummi

   Yh I agree with you. Said Ali

   What do you mean? Asked Mukhtar.

    I wasn't referring to both of you, i mean I didn't even call names but you're feeling guilty, that's called guilty conscience. Ali said with a laugh
   
   Well well well..we need to act faster before Abba suspects anything, we shouldn't risk it at all. Said Ummi

   As long as they did their job perfectly, they won't be any room for suspicion except if they messed up everything as usual again. Said Bahijjat.

Bahijjat please for the sake of Almighty Allaah say something nice, why do you like creating problems?

    Excuse me Ummi!....after all that I've done for you?

    Look I'm so sorry.

   You have nothing to say, and I'm highly disappointed in you. Said Bahijjat in a weak tone

   Girls please don't fight, this shouldn't be happening at all. Said Ali

   Yh I agree with him. Mukhtar added.

   Look I'm so sorry Bahijjat I shouldn't have said that, it's just that I was stressed out and I'm really sorry.

    It's ok...but I was never expecting that from you.

    I won't repeat it again, please forgive me.

      Alright you're forgiven... let's continue from where we stopped said Bahijjat with a gloomy face.

     Alright where's Amal? Asked Ali.

    She's still with Salma, but the bodyguard I hired is still keeping an eye on them.

    Good so we need to get her right now. Said Mukhtar.

     I planned that already, this bodyguard I hired is highly trained.

    Where did you hire him from?

     Actually he's a Fulani herdsman

   Where did you find him...and hope he can be trusted? Asked Ummi
 
    Of course he can be trusted, actually his son had a clot in his brain which was going to end his life,so I donated to the hospital which resulted to his son's treatment.

    And? Ummi asked

      And the father looked for me to thank me, he cried woefully and thanked me for saving his only son and he begged to serve me for the rest of his life; I told him he needn't do that,so I promised to visit his son after I did and had a chit chat with his wife and found out who he is, I just grabbed the opportunity coz at that time Salma was sounding funny to me.
    
   But hope he wouldn't betray us like those fools did?. Asked Ali

    He wouldn't, I already made an investigation before giving him the task.

   I hope it's not a trap from Abba. Said Ummi

    You should know your Abba by now, if he's behind it we would have been dead by now, but we need to be extra careful. said Mukhtar

I agree with you for the first time said Bahijjat.

     Henceforth you should be the one telling us what to do, coz if not for you we would have been stranded by now. Said Ali to Bahijjat.

    So guys what's next? Asked Ummi.

    I think we should just kidnap Salma and her children and then rescue Amal.

      Kidnap?! Asked Ummi

     Sure kidnap

     But how and where are we going to keep them? Asked Mukhtar.

     Jauro ( the stalker ) will take care of it after all he lives in a forest.

    Bahijjat I don't get please enlighten me said Ummi.
   
   Well I don't know about that yet, but we have to call him here in order to devise a new plan.

    As you wish your highness. Said Mukhtar.

     So why don't we just call him right now?...I mean there's no time to waste time, what do you guys think? Said Ummi.

     Well i think we should call him now, but if it's ok with Bahijjat. Said Mukhtar

      Agreed...Ali why have you been quiet all this while? Asked Ummi.
  
      What do you want me to say?....I mean you're all making sense to me.

    I'll be calling him now. Said Bahijjat with a serious face.

  Yh call him said Ummi excitedly.

  Not reachable.

Try again please said Mukhtar

Still not reachable, but I'll gather us all when i call him, and I'll be the one to decide the rendezvous point.

Ok but find a place that's deserted to avoid any problem, it's better to be safe than sorry. Said Ali

Don't teach me what to do, if not for me you'd still be looking for Amal.

Bahijjat you don't have to be rude, what's wrong with you?

You know what I'm leaving this place ASAP.

Ummi please go after her she's obviously still angry at you.

But I did nothing

Did you forget?... remember what you said when we came here

What did I say?

You said she's creating problems for us, look we can't risk to make her angry else she'll make her next plans without us again, you should know you best friend better than me.

Ok then...bye.
