OUR JOURNEY TO FREEDOM

Chapter 23: Brace yourself, you're the moon! don't you know?

Sometimes certain circumstances show up from the blue and change everything about us. Some days,it is  how we used to have a fixated routine in life and how things will suddenly take an abrupt turn . Other times, it's just taking you away from the things you are used to or the people you'll always have around you. I hope that the wind that appears before you is a positive one even if it has to alter your life. If it's not, kindly hung in there a bit longer, patiently persevere, and Allah's glad tidings will embrace you . ( Read more about this in Qur'an chapter 2 : 155 - 157)

Like the fashion goddess that she has always been, Hayat made her way to her empire, one she built with immerse passion and love. It is really true when they say people thrive their best when they do the things that brings joy to their hearts. As she walked past security with a familiar wave, the guard welcomed her in full glory. Everything pointed out to the fact that she was not expected to make an appearance and that was what she wanted. She just didn't want work to be put on hold because she's finally here, after all her awesome leadership style is one that has nurtured independent employees in fashion and she couldn't be more grateful to her Lord. Each step followed a squeal from the showroom, other times an enchanting greeting. I guess today might just be one of the days she can't help but accept such pleasantries wholly. Who asked her to be a great boss to a fashion empire?

After what felt like a hug and cheer contest, Hayat was astonished when she walked into her dim-lit office only to be greeted with rose petals from the skies, welcome cards and notes from her amazing staff and giant design board with her best sellers on display. It was too beautiful to miss out so she just held her eyes so not to blink. With tears trailing down her cheeks , she smiled widely, choking on her own voice. It wasn't because she was unhappy, but it was because everything they did reminded her about Majab, how he'd go out of his way to surprise her after every completed project. For him, it never really mattered whether it made it to best seller, he just wanted to make her happy. After a couple sniffs, she wipes her teary eyes with the tissue Ummu Salmah pushed in her hand. What will she do without this assistant of hers?  In a hush convo, Ummu Salmah managed to push everyone out of the office, asking them all to wait at the conference room for a meeting. They were quite hesitant so she had to spill a little from the surprise cup and everyone jumped up. Who doesn't want to present a design for the upcoming fashion show.

It feels good to be back ma'am, I am so elated you could finally make it and I cannot wait until the world sees all we've got on the billboard, I don't think the world is ready for your next magic work! I am in shock on behalf of everyone out there, they should all wait and watch fate shuffle the cards!

Ummu Salmah, when will you end this rant of yours, you haven't changed even after my absence. I still don't know how you manage to get things done with a stern face while keeping a cheeky face when the mood is right. You're just something else. Now back to business, can I have the itinerary for the meeting? And I hope we have designs to add up to what I already have.

We do, but as usual, you might have some alterations and changes to effect.

Okay , then I guess we are good to go, shall we ?

Yes we shall!

And like that, designs were presented, some passed for changes and alter, others couldn't make it to the Final Cut. Materials were tested and selected. Patterns were made and everyone was given a challenging task for the big project. It was as if life was brought back to work, their enthusiasm was strong enough to guarantee effectiveness. Hayat finally submitted her affirmation email. The media is bound to take notice soon and the enemy will not hesitate to make a move. She made an appointment to meet the CEO of Zulock security, the best in the country. Majab used them in the past and she is sure they'll be of greater help this time too.
