Only Kamu (A MeerNa's Fanfiction)

Chapter 15: That Calm After The Storm

Today is the day where Qeef will be bringing Eli to meet the cast of his new series Hide and Seek. Qeef is so excited to introduce his girlfriend to the casts who are also his friends. They've been hiding their relationship from the public, therefore seeing the team together will have to be done in secret too.

Can't really wait to see her, Qeef picks up the phone and FaceTime Eli just to see her face.

"Hello sayang what are you doing?"

"Not much, baby. Just getting ready to meet the casts. Whats up?"

"Oh nothing. Just want to check on you." lies Qeef, rather embarrassed to tell her that he misses her when they are meeting in a short time.

"How about you? What are you doing?" asks Eli back

"Getting ready too, I will be there in about 10 minutes."

"Okay, baby. I'll see you then. Bye." Eli gives Qeef a flying kiss before she hangs up the phone.

Eli continues touching up her makeup while waiting for Qeef to arrive.

"Where are you going?" asks her mom, appearing out of nowhere.

"I am going to go with Qeef to his set today to meet with the casts from his new series."

"His new series? But why?" asks her mom, curious. It's Eli's off day and usually she would spend a good part of the day on bed. Making up for lost sleep.

"Qeef wants to introduce me to the other casts." explains Eli, when the doorbell rings, downstairs.

"Oh that must be Qeef. Bye mum" bids Eli, kissing her mom before rushing off downstairs. But her mom stops her just when she's about to reach her bedroom door.

"Let me sent you off to the door. I want to talk to Qeef." says her Mom, firmly.

"What? Talk to qeef? Why? Are you mad at him for taking me out today? Don't be mom. This is networking." says Eli. She's getting a little worried about what her mom would say to Qeef.

"Assalamualaikum mom, eh, I mean Aunty. Hi Aunty." greets Qeef smiling.

"Waalaikumsalam. Why are you here?" asks Eli's mom, sternly.

"I am going to take Eli..."

Eli cuts in before Qeef could finish his explanation.

"Mom, I've already explained it to you that I'll be going with Qeef to meet the casts of his new series."

"Are you ready Eli?" interjects Qeef, not too comfortable watching the daughter-mother banter.

"Did I ask you Eli? Do you not have a mouth to answer me, Shaqir Shaqeef" asks Eli's mom, getting annoyed.

"I am taking Eli to my new set to meet with the casts." explains Qeef, respectfully.

"Wait who gives you the permission to take Eli out?" pushes her mom.

"Mom!" protests Eli.

"Sorry aunty, that's the reason I come to the door. I wanted to ask for your permission, but it seems that Eli has beaten me to it. May I bring Eli out aunty?" pleads Qeef, hoping for a green light.

"I promise I will take good care of Eli, be very responsible, will not do anything you don't want me to and will send her home in one piece" assures Qeef.

"Okay then. You'd better keep your words. I don't want to hear any unpleasant gossip about the two of you in the media, later" warns Eli's mom, concerned.

"Thank you so much, I love you mom" shrieks Eli, super happy to be allowed to spend time with Qeef, the love of her life.

"Don't worry aunty, I will keep my words. Thank you. Let's go Eli."
