Spontaneous Attachment

The week was passing by at a snail pace and I was getting tired,even though I enjoyed my work,it was still stressful and I couldn't wait for the weekend to come,and the fact that my mom is planning an arranged marriage was making me restless.

If my mom said she was going to do something,no one would be able to change her mind,she's a strong woman with a determined heart. It really was a disadvantage in times like this.

I rounded off my work and picked my phone,laptop and bag finally closing for the week.
The telephone in my office rang and I picked it wondering what happened again,when it's almost closing time.

"Hello"
I said after picking the call.

"Fouzia,report to my office immediately"
Doc Arman's voice rang from the other end.

"Oh Allah,I hope it's not another work"I muttered exiting the office.

I said my Salam and entered the office,he gestured for me to sit on the chair while he continued typing away.

"I need you to help me deliver this to Hajiya Habiba please,I'm very busy and she needs the drug" he said when he finished typing pushing a drug forward for me to pick.

I stared at him for while before taking the drug,was he speaking of the lady I helped the other day?

"I'll text you the address"
He continued his work

I took that as my cue to leave so I went to my workaholic friend, Zoya.

"Hey babe"
I called entering her office,she muttered a hey barely looking up To get her attention, I closed the laptop she was using and sat on her table.

"What the.....I didn't save that"
She yelled

"Shh, someone might hear,besides don't you think you're overworking yourself,you need rest my dear"

"No,let me finish my work"
She said grumpily,folding her arms across her chest.

"Alright,guess I'm taking it hom....."

"What do you want Fauzi"
She screeched before I finished my sentence,if there was anything that Zoya loved,it comes after her laptop.

"Hmm,I want a girl time,you know let's go shopping,your wedding is on the line and you're not making any preps,and also a movie night,a girl chat and ..."

"Fine fine,ya Allah,why are you so energetic this evening,wasn't that suppose to be me"
She eyed me warily.

"Well,maybe it has to do with the fact that today is Friday"
I said beaming.

"And so what if it's Friday,is it suppose to be special or what"

I face palmed. This girl need a good rest and time off work.

"Idiot,it means no work tomorrow,and we're going to rest"
I shook her shoulders

"Ohhh,yea I get it, God I totally forgot,let me round this off, I'll see you at your house tomorrow"
She said trying to open her laptop.

"Okay,I hope you keep your word,cos I'll so kill you if you don't"

"I will, I will,now can you please get out, I need finish this"

"Yes,you're so kind"
I rolled my eyes leaving the office only to bump into Aabid,his eyes lightened immediately he saw me,and no way to escape.

"I was looking for you, Fouzia"
He beamed at me.

"Uh, I was just about to leave,you want something?"

His ears turned pink and he cleared his throat while I bit my lip trying to be patient.

"Um... I was wondering...um"
He stuttered and I refrained my self from rolling my eyes.

"Aabid,I'm kind of in a hurry,can we do this someother time"when you're not a stuttering mess' But I didn't add the last part,it will be rude right?

"Oh" his face fell "okay bye"
He smiled moving to the side for me to pass.

I returned his smile and passed.

My phoned chimed,it was a text from Doc Arman,the address,it almost slip my mind.starting my car, I typed the address into the GPS and followed the directions.

Before we go farther,pls tell me what you think about the book,do you think I should quit it.. I have good ideas,it's just that writing it down is another problem,plus I don't even know of you like the book,pls let me know,cos things are going to start getting streamy,your comments pls.

And don't forget the little star,it means alot, ;-).
