ENSLAVED PRINCESS:THE REMAKE

Chapter 24

ZAINAB'S POV

Roheem drove and I stared silently.

"Sir ? uhm...Roheem ?" I called softly and he turned to look at me.

"What is it ?" he asked and kept his eyes back on the road.

"Thank you for what you got me,I....I really liked them," I said and I know I was blushing.

"I'm glad you do," he turned to me with a smile.

"Um where are we going ?"

"Work."

"But you said....

"Well I know you'd reject my offer to go out so let's head to work then and besides the leave wasn't really organized or do you wanna go out with me after work ?" he asked with a smirk.

"Uh....uhm....I....
I gulped and he chuckled.

"Forget it."

This man,he knows how to make words get stuck in my throat.

                                        *
We got to the office and Roheem opened the car's door for me.

"Thank you sir," we walked side to side in the office and ladies glared at me.

The gasps and stares I received made me wish mother earth would open her mouth and swallow me.

HALIMAT'S POV
Murad and I went to the park,I wonder why he decided to come here,not that I didn't like it,it was cool but was it the same for a guy like him ?
We sat on a bench discussing and laughing,while chatting a little girl with black hair,which was curled with big rosy cheeks stood in front of us.

"Hey beautiful ! how are you ?"

"Ok," she pouted with sad eyes.

"Hey what's wrong ? where's your mama ?"

"Over there," she pointed and I wondered why a mother would leave her child.

"Come lemme take you to her."

"No,mommy and daddy knows I'm somewhere with my friends,but I'm tired of playing with them,we play the same thing everyday."

"Uhhh," I drawled.

"Do you have a kid I can play with ?"

"Uhh....no, besides darling what's your name ?"

"Aqeelah."

"Wow ! beautiful name,I'm Halimat."

"You're beautiful Halimat."

"Thanks sweetie,this is my friend Murad."

"I don't want to know."

"Huh !" I exclaimed while Murad raised a brow,staring at the girl.

"But why ?" I asked.

"He looks grumpy," the girl pouted and frowned looking at Murad who returned the look,while I laughed,he told me he doesn't like kids and wow ! I was surprised to see him display it.

"Grumpy ?" I laughed again.

"Yes,can't you see his face ?"

"No,but he's nice and friendly."

"Doesn't look like to me."

"But he's handsome right ?" I asked and she laughed.

"No,my daddy told me Prince's are always handsome,but he's not a prince and not handsome."

"Hey kid, your mom's calling," Murad said.

"No she's not,I guess ugly people lie too."

"Aqeelah ?" someone called.
