FARMAN

Chapter 3: what a coincidence!

FAROUK'S POV

After Ms. Cookies left, I stopped the plan for some time. After I went back to the office, I called Sadiq cause it's their company that sold the property to me & it turns out she's his sister, now I see the resemblance. Sadiq is a close friend of mine; we did our masters together in London.

IMAN'S POV

I woke up around 12, did the normal routine and went down for breakfast & surprisingly everyone woke up late today. I met them eating on the dining, so I followed suit after getting my iced americano from the kitchen, we Gisted a lot and then Abba gave us the most exciting news of all time.

Abba: I'm transferring the company to Sadiq!

We were so happy about it & there's going to be an event next week. After we talked and talked and talked, I went upstairs and prayed.

I was on my praying mat when i remembered what happened in Lagos.

Iman: why did he buy the property? why was he going to bulldoze it (I kept asking myself these stupid questions) why does he always try to take something that is not his, first the cookies and now the vacation house? and was he going to demolish it by bulldozing it? (i mentally slapped my head) Mr. bulldozer Kawai. (I said hissing)

Y.S: who is that? (That is when I noticed Y.S by the door)

Iman: ohh....no one. (i said folding my mat)

Y.S: okay oooo, come and help me choose a tux for the event.

Iman: for how much now that you're rich??(I said stretching my hand)

Y.S: seriously?

Iman: uhumm

Y.S: can't you help a brother in need?

Iman: nope I can't.

After a lot of arguing and negotiating he finally agreed to buy me the latest louis Vuitton handbag, knowing Mamy won't allow abba to buy it for me because ''it's too expensive''.



Y.S: I thought you don't like expensive stuff?

Iman: yeah, buh this one is different, even though it's a little big for me i'll manage. (i said with a wide Grin)

Y.S: really? (He said looking at me suspiciously) do you remember when we went to Dubai, and I bought you that Gucci bag for your birthday?

Iman: yeah why?

Y.S: where is it?

Iman: ............................. I gave it out (I said feeling guilty)

Y.S: I know, and I'm having second thoughts on this one too.

Iman: I promise I won't give it out.

I final convinced him and he agreed.

A lot of searching took place and after a while we found the perfect one for him.

Y.S: Now that I'm taking over the company, I think I'm gonna buy back grandpa's house.

Iman: Really!!(i said over excited to hear that but then I realized something) No don't!

Y.S: why? (He asked full of confusion).

Iman: ............................ I think it's time to let go of old memories like Abba said the other night.

Y.S: are you sure you don't want it & can you let go of the memories?

Iman: Insha Allah....................... now stop blabbering and order my bag for me, I can't wait to see it(I said squeeling)

Y.S: Nahhh, I've changed my mind you'll give it out anyway. (he shrugged)

Iman: what! wllhi Baka isa ba (I said getting up from the chair)

Y.S: Did you really think I'll buy that for you? (He said getting up)

Iman: lallai ma (I snatched his phone and ran away)

After a long time of running with his phone and circling the house while Mamy call us children, he finally agreed & he ordered it for me on the spot.

Finally, the day came for Y. S's event.

I wore a red ball gown and got a beautiful and light makeup from M Gee.



Iman: Yasmeen wllhi zamu tafi mu Barki

Yasmeen: coming! (She said coming down the stairs adjusting her veil).

Y.S and abba left a while ago and were leaving now together with Yasmeen and my cousin inteesar , Mamy is leaving with my aunt (aunty Samira).

we were having a lot of fun before I decided to get a drink.

I went there and I met someone You'd never believe it if I told you.

FAROUK'S POV

Today is Sadiq's ceremony, so I woke up a little bit early you know cause I'm his friend and I have to be there, and on top of that we arranged another event for him after the main one later on.

I wore a simple charcoal traditional wear with a Zanna bukar cap and a silver Rolex wristwatch.



Before we left for the event with Usman (A friend of ours AKA his cousin) we had to go and check out the arrangements. After that we left for the main event, my throat was so dry, so I went to get a drink when I met Ms. cookies there, I was shocked to see her there, just like she was to see me, but I remembered Shes his sister.

After the event we left for the after party with our friends and I guess times goes by fast cause we didn't know when it was 11:30 until maama called me so I had to go, I know right, maama still treats me like a child.

I arrived home around 12 and met maama waiting for me and i got a little lecture on "Call home when you're going to stay out late." I freshened up, took a bath, finish some work and then retired for the day.
