Khardy's pov*

In the stillness of the morning,long before the sun cast its first soft glow over the horizon.I left the house.My mind in tumultuous storm of emotions and fears.Today was not just another day;it was the day I would infiltrate the Osman and Sons..,not only for a job but also for a mission that promised a freedom from a life I never choose but was thrust upon me over a circumstances beyond my control ........

"Richie!Are you sure about this"I had asked one last time, hoping against hope for a change of heart that would never come
"Very sure"came the cold, irrevocable reply.
".....but I'm having a bad feeling about this.Why can't you just ask someone else to do this.Why not Mila or probably Kat......"
"Khardy!!"
"What!!!?"
"I thought we've talked this through before,why are you bothering me with this silly questions? You're the only one suitable for this......and ....I really can't trust anyone apart from...you"he muttered the last part.
Khardy-!!!!!"
"Okay.I promise after this mission you're going to be free.Just this one and... you're free ...hmmm....Khardy....."
".....stop"I slapped off his hand even before he could touch me.
".......the last one right? Don't go back on your words"
"I promise..."
"bye....."I left, slammed the door behind me.

The memory of the confrontation with Richard Cole play a loop in my mind while jogging through the street.The weight of the promise hung heavily on my shoulders-a promise of freedom,a word so sweet yet so distance.

With every step I took I couldn't shake off the feeling of stepping into the lion's den.A place where every move would be watched and every actions scrutinized!.

This was not my first mission but not as an undercover,the least I do is beat up some losers,train the junior ones  or follow the boss out but have promised to stop and moreover the Osman's are not easy to dealt with.

Those were the thought that was going through my mind before I  collided with someone.The pace at which I was running was too high that by the time I saw him,it was too late to stop.
I was trying to run and free my mind so I can get ready for the mission before me that I didn't even notice anyone around.As a matter of fact,the sun was just rising.

"......haaa!huh!...."
"Wtf"
"Did you have a faulty break"the woman with the man I bumped into snapped.
"You said what?"I asked angrily
"You heard me .Why were  you  running like a car that has a faulty break ..... "she continued.

"Ann, I'm fine.it's okay"the man interrupted her.
"....but...."
"Ann...."
"Miss,Are you okay "he turned to ask me .
"Oh! I'm fine.....and I'm sorry for bumping into you"I apologize, momentarily forgotten my anger.
"...no no no.You shouldn't apologize,I was the one at fault....."
"I'm sorry "he added
"....Zee!!!!.....why would you apologize?"
"....Annie"he called out her name calmly as he could .He took her hand and.... bow his head in an apologetic manner to me as they left.
oops! that's a gentleman right there!

Wait!!
'What just happened??
My reactions earlier is not my way of doing things.
I must have been shocked.
Wait,what? I even apologize to someone first?
That's very much unlike me.
And Yeah, I'm trying to turn a new leaf but I don't think it has gotten to do this.God is really great.....'

'As I was getting close to the house  all I was hoping for was for Amy to be in the kitchen or toilet or whatever but I just don't want her to be in the living room because I know for sure she would already be awake by now.She's an early riser unlike my twin sis......

I opened the  door to met my dumbfounded sister 'talk about the devil'...

..,....."Khadijah...."

Did she just call out my name like that???Silly girl!.......
