BEYOND WORDS
Chapter two
I went to my mother's room and met her seated at the edge of her bed making a phone call.
"Assalamu alaikum"
I said walking closer to her,
She stopped me with her palm indicating that she was on an important call.
I went and sat close to her massaging her laps, she finished the call and turned to me.
"Don't tell me you are ready already "
She said smiling
"Of course mama I'm ready, I want to leave now, I came so you can bless me and wish me luck"
I said smiling back at her.
"Okay khairat, I am always wishing you luck and my blessings are always with you, just make sure you remain honest in whatever you do in life and you'll succeed "
"Thank you mummy, I love you so much"
I said pecking her cheeks
She calls me khairat because she felt I am a blessing to her, God gave me to her when she needed me the
most.
"Okay mummy I'm leaving now"
"Okay khairat take care, and come back with goodness in sha Allah, and oh I've forgotten, have you greeted your aunty"
"Mummyyyyy I'm late "
I said and left the room because I wasn't ready for that conversation, she knows that that woman doesn't like both me and her, she was just pretending but mum keep instructing me to respect her, I understand that her daughter Aisha respects my mother, she was never like her mother, even though she can be annoying at times but she's kind trust me and she's my best friend, we never hide anything from each other but her mother is a terrible version.
I went out of the room and headed outside.
"Ha'an, baba sani is malam habu not around? "
I asked our gate keeper of our driver, I told him I will be going out since before the day so he won't make me late and I wasn't seeing him any where.
"Yes he took hajiya farida out "
"Ya Allah, and when will they come back"
I asked him worriedly because I know i was definitely going to be late, and one thing I regretted was not learning how to drive, now I'm facing the consequences.
"Wllh I don't know "he replied shortly
"I guess I'll just take public transport because I can't wait for them"
I muttered under my breath and headed out of the house.
I was walk-running because I was already late, they said they wanted to see me by 9 and it was 8:23,
And I wasn't sighting a taxi or napep anywhere so I decided to start using my legs before I could see any, and the annoying part was that rain felt during the night so the streets were all wet with mould.
I was walking blabbering things in my mind, I seriously didn't want to miss that opportunity, my dreams were going to become reality and I couldn't risk loosing that opputurnity, it was a media station,
I was happy that I would soon start my dream job(journalist),
And sad that maybe I would not get it because of course which company will hire a person that came late on the first day of interview.
"Mtswww"
I hissed under my breath with the thought that it was aunty farida that caused all these, had it been she didn't went out with the driver i wouldn't have faced this situation,
"she always ruins my plans, I don't like her a bit"
I was saying to no one in particular when a car over speeding splashed me clay water all over my body,
The car didn't stop at first but then stopped,
"Excuse me, what the hell is this, are you blind or what? "
I said walking to where the person stopped the car,
My breath was taken away from me for some seconds when he came out of the car, it was a very handsome guy, no , to say handsome is an understatement, he was more than handsome,
He was tall and dark skinned, and for him to make sure he killed me, he was wearing a white kaftan
Oh God
I kept mute immediately I saw him, I couldn't shout at him again, I lost the words.
"I am very sorry, I didn't see you trust me "
Was what came out from his mouth
Damn this guy should just kill me already, his voice was husky and the way he talked showed that he is a calm person.
i wanted saying its okay but then I remembered that I had an interview to attend and he has ruined it even though it has been ruined already but at least I had a small hope but now there wasn't any, and I knew there was no way that media will hire me now so I changed my face and said
"So you think just'I'm sorry'is going to clean this mess? "
"Listen I said I'm sorry, wllh I didn't see you, my mind was somewhere else, I am very sorry "
i couldn't say anything to him again but tears started finding their ways out from my eyes.
