Yours

Chapter 16

After Sarah was done with the rest room and I made her confirm to me that it didn't look like I just bawled my eyes out we left the toilet.

I branched by Ya Abdul's office to pick up my files, to find him not in the room, only Amma laying in the position that I found her when I came in for the first time.

With all due respect...doesn't she have a house?

We both ignored each other as I grabbed my files and I left the room.

I walked out to see Sara impatiently waiting for me before we literally ran to the doors that the meeting was taking place.

We stopped to giggle a bit before she pushed the doors and she entered and I followed after her.

Ya Abdul looked up from the person speaking to him and he looked directly at me.

HOW is he that fine??

Ya Abdul has always been handsome, I did use to have a tiny bit of a crush on him when we were younger but I hid it well, when he confessed to like me I convinced myself that I was in love with Aliyu and couldn't accept Ya Abdul...but now that I think of it, did I have strong feelings for Ya Abdul since during then?? Because that same day that he got into that accident felt like my world was ending , guilt, sadness, fear, any negative emotuon you could think of I felt it.

As if he wasn't fine enough already, these few past months he appears finer, I don't know if it's the beard he decided to grow out, was it my newly recognized feelings or what! All I know that this man
Is beautiful and anyone from a hundred miles away could see that.

I remember during our younger days how all of  Hameeda's other friends used to beg her to make him talk to them and I always used to brag to them I was his favorite friend of Hameeda's and they didn't stand a chance.

And now as he looked at me all those memories...all these feelings, they felt present..they felt real.

He has a girlfriend.

And SO?? Please LEAVE.

I hated battling with my mind.

I attempted to swallow the hard lump in my throat as I walked towards the free chairs available.

This time there was no one sitting at the head of the table , everyone sat facing the other side.

Sara took a seat next to one of her people, there was a seat next to her but I concluded it'll be more logical If I sit closer to the people from this company since we're a team.

Ironically, the only seat remaining after that one was next to Ya Abdul, right in the middle of him and Adnan.

I quickly shuffled to the seat.

Ya Abdul pulled back the chair for me and I let out a sigh when I sat down there.

Adnan turned to me and he smiled.

I smiled back.

He turned and he continued using his phone.

I almost chuckled out loud.

At a meeting??? Really? No wonder Ya Abdul said he's giving him a hard time.

"Ok, that's fine Mr Brown, that will be included, also you were saying something about the suppliers?" Ya Abdul said to the white man Adjacent to me as he quickly jotted down something on the files in front of him.

The man nodded and he started to speak, just from a question from Ya Abdul he turned it into a whole other lecture for the entire meeting.

Ya Abdul turned to me when the man turned his attention to someone else "you took long."
