Marrying the son of Asraf 2

🥀Thirty ~8🥀

Ceo Natasha and others came rushing to the kitchen in fright just to meet Summayyah packing up the broken mug. Confused and wondering what had happened, Eric asked. "What happened?"

Summayyah turned to give them an answer when a ceramic cut through her index finger and she shivers. Eric quickly rushes to her aid. "Easy! Maria will clean it up, come with me, let me treat it for you!" The offered but she declined. "I am fine Eric, guys really! I appreciate your worry and sorry for the bother."

Daniel puffs. "Of course you should be grateful but what really happened, you've never been this clumsy!" He said.

Hamza nodded. "Yeah unlike a certain someone!" He mutters, eyeballing Hadiza, knowing he was referring to her, she hissed and turned to him with a glare but Ceo Natasha covered her view. "We should leave her if she is fine. You can go home early Sumayyah, you are probably so worked up than usual." She said, Summayyah nodded and walked out of the kitchen silently while Hadiza followed behind her.

When they were out of view. Daniel rushd to him. "You know something, don't you?" He asked Eric but he shook his head. "No I don't?"

"Quit lying, she is more comfortable around you than us, what is all these about?" Hamza asked just when Maria entered to clean the mess. Eric sighed, massaging his forehead as he led them out of the kitchen and to his office.

Eric explained to them the extent minimum they should know. "You don't mean it? So what is she going to do?" Daniel asked, sounding pitiful towards her.

Eric shook his head. "It's a battle she is going to fight on her own. Her husband or not."

Daniel and Hamza looked out his window as they watched Summayyah talking with Hadiza while  she packs up and calls it a day. She was fully ready and walking out of her office, she stopped when Eric walked out of his office. "You will be fine, okay?" He said. She pressed her lips together and gave him a tight smile before she made it to the exit.

Starting her car engine, she drove over to a coffee shop. A street, a few miles away from the firm so as to cool herself, while she goes through her old phone gallery sipping on her coffee. She then came across her wedding pictures with Khalil. She remembered not wanting the picture but Halima had to xender it to her. She also came across her pictures with Abdul, her mum, dad, Khadija, their mum, Hanan and Halima, like her whole family.

She let out an excruciating sigh as she dialled Halima's phone number, hoping she didn't pick but at least saw a missed call, but Allah had other plans for her. She picked immediately.

"Hello!" Summayyah answered. Halima on the other end kept quiet, wondering if it was actually Summayyah that called her. "Hello Halima. Ni ce Summy!" (It's me, Summy).

"Hm. So you are alive?"

Summayyah chuckled dryly. "I've been alive ai!"

"No wonder, no one could bring up your corpse, not even Faruq!"

"Halima, look i know you are angry and i am sorry that..."

"Sorry? Are you actually sorry? Did you know how much you have put us through? Do you know how much I went through?"

"Halima!"

"Enough Sumayyah. You can't explain any further. If i was truly your friend. You would have told me your plans but you decided to take things to yourself."

"Halima, just listen to me. Please!"

"Okay, i'm all ears"

"Are you free tomorrow? Lets meet up"

"I don't know, it depends on my schedule."

"Okay, just let me know when you are free!"

Halima was silent and Summayyah was wondering why the sudden silence. She was starting to feel awkward and nervous even around her friend so she decided to end the call unknowingly to her, Halima was trying to hold in her tears and when the call ended she broke down. 'Oh Summy, You are back!'. She sniffles.
