She pull her heel straps, throwing it across the room before stretching her legs. She felt relieve in the comfort of her room, nothing feels better than being in her alone time. The silence add more comfort to the million thought running inside her brain.
Her hand fidget with the card she picked from the ground earlier. "Ain't you tired of living in the dark?"
The simple but mysterious words echoed in her brain repeatedly. Janan could only guess that Barrister Ahmad was just trying to play games with her. But her conclusion could only be an assumptions. She is smarter than he is and now she has no option than to follow the lead.
Janan lips stretched into a beautiful smile.
Let the game begins.
~~~~~~
Bechtel construction.
"Hey love."
Janan turn to her Colleague striding toward her as they walk side by side to the entrance of there work place.
"Khalil, how are you?
"Am super fine! You just uplift my mood darling." Khalil teasingly said smiling down at Janan.
This is not the first time Khalil has said that to her. She's already used to his playfulness.
"Oh really."
"Yeah, I feel like running away with you darling."
Janan chuckle lightly.
"You mean like eloping?" She asked.
"No. More like 'unwillingly." Khalil said slowly darkening his feature.
"You mean kidnapping!!" Janan touched her heart acting offensive.
"It will be more romantic." He said pulling the door for her to enter.
Janan walked inside the foyer laughing at his dark joke.
They said hello to Amina, sign the attendance before making there way to design department. Khalil went to the other direction of the cafeteria saying something about making a coffee which Janan thinks is too early.
She was going to pull the door knob to her studio when she notice Becca coming out from the last office across the hallway.
The director's office.
At first Janan didn't care about it but the way Becca walks like a superior in a fitted skirt that didn't reach her thighs and a badass top that didn't cover her cleavage with a black matching booth heels and her long artificial pony tail sways as she walks pushed her curiosity.
"What!?" Becca taunts.
"Oh please my ear drums." Janan said irritated.
"Mtswww. You're no match for me Fulani girl."
Janan roll her eyes at the name she usually calls her. She pull the door to her studio and step inside. She doesn't have time for that witch.

They were in a small place inside shoprite. After shopping for some few things and watching in the movie theatre they ended up in an ice cream palace.
"Munira."
"Na'am?"
"I really want to talk to you."
At the sound of her friend voice lace with sadness. Munira drop her phone to the table and concentrated on Janan.
"Pour it out."
"Uhm...."
"What is happening?" Munira touched her friends hand.
"Its actually about those nightmares... I will be undergoing a hypnosis test."
"Janan." Munira voice soften.
"Yes?"
"If you're really not comfortable don't go through with it please.."
"Is not that...i really want to do it. I don't even know if it will work...am just scared Munira." Janan drop her head to the ground.
Munira touch her face and brush the all so familiar tears from her eyes.
"I really want you to be strong. I know there's nothing to fear. Maybe all this things are just some random dreams."
Did she say random!
Janan pull her hand from her friends grip. She looked at her as if she is a stranger.
"What?" Munira asked.
"Are you hearing what you're saying?"
"Am sorry..am-
"No! everyone don't know what am going through! Do you even know how hard it is to breath everyday! I don't trust anyone Munira, not even my own Mother! Someone I love so much. I don't even know if this is real or my own imaginations!! I don't have any memory after Amir's death! I just woke up from a coma after one f**cking year! And since then I have been having nightmares of some unpredictable memories! Is that what you call a random dreams!!?"
"Ya Allah! Am so sorry Janan." Munira hugged her and pull her into her embrace. They have started grabbing attention so Munnira took there stuffs and pull her out of the place.
She opened the back door of Janan's car and pull her inside before going to the front door. She started the car and quickly make her way to Alhaji Ghali's resident.
Janan eyes were blood shot from crying her heart out. She has never broken down like this. This is one of the worst days of her life.
The ride home was utterly quite. Both of them didn't say a word. Munira just want to see her friend calm down and the best thing she thought was to take her home.
"We're here." Munira quietly said looking at the rear mirror.
"Okay nagode bye." Janan opened the car door and started making her way when Munira stopped her by holding her delicate hand.
"Kiyi hakuri please Janan."
"It's okay. I just need some time alone now." She said not looking at her friend.
Munira gave a long sigh. "Okay see you tomorrow."
"Allah ya kaimu."
Janan said the last word and went inside while Munira watch her retreating figure.
Following her wasn't the right choice because she has never seen her this depressed before. She hates what Janan is going through. And what she hates the most is that she couldn't help her.
She just couldn't
