Marrying the son of Asraf 2

🍁Forty ~ 4🍁

Summayyah had just returned from Jummat  prayers when Eric informed her that Maryam is waiting for her in her office. “In my office? Why though?” She asked with furrowed brows. Eric shrugged.  “She said she has something important she has to tell you” He said, quoting the importance with his fingers.

She wonders what may be important and without a word to Eric, she heads straight to her office with fast steps. Upon entering, there sat Maryam. Sitting comfortably on the sofa, legs crossed, arm of the sofa's arm scrolling through her phone.

By sensing her presence, she lifted her head away from her phone that their eyes met. Sumayyah raised a brow in question with a straight face while Maryam grins. “You're finally here!?” She said, sounding excited.

She frowned and walked to her seat. "What brought you here Maryam?"

"No Salam?"

"You equally came to my office without notification."

"Hm, are you some kind of a CEO or something that needs Notification. You are just a low rank lawyer."

Sumayyah felt the insult but instead surpassed it with a grim. "Suit you. In this firm it's different from the Asraf group. We work base on appointments "

"I see. Anyways, you must have seen the file I've sent."

"Do you have something to say about it?"

"Sure of course." She laughs.

"Very well, please proceed." Sumayyah said, without second thought. 

She inhales sharply, consuming the energy around her before she starts to speak. "5 years ago. Khalil murdered my older brother Harun. "

"Do you have full evidence that he actually did it?"

"Do you want to listen or not?" Maryam hissed.

"Go ahead!" Sumayyah gestured to her to proceed while she began detailing. "It all started on a rainy day. I could never forget that day. It was on the 25th of July 2019. Khalil used to be a very tight friend with my brother Harun. But somehow they got into a very serious and heated arguments.  Khalil's father was supposed to give my brother a share in the company but somehow Khalil was against it and it was given to Arif instead. Never the less, Harun tired to confront Khalil and I didn't know what came over them and they had guns with them."

Sumayyah alerted "wait guns? Where did they get that from?" She asked.

Maryan shurged. "I don't know and Khalil never said anything about it. My brother dared Khalil to pull the trigger if he wasn't guilty and he did without second guessing. He shot my brother twice in his chest before my eyes. '' She said, clenching her teeth. Sumayyah was left dredd after listening to what Maryam had summarised but somehow she believed her to be so cunning and can't not believe she is saying the truth.

Maryam also went futher to say that Khalil had gangs with him and back in the days, they used to take intoxications. Including her brother. Sumayyah couldn't bring herself to believe what her ears had just heard. 

Khalil doesn't look like one who takes drugs.

Maryam scoffs. "I bet you don't believe that your dear Khalil was that bad did you? But let me bust your bubbles. Not only did he take drugs, he clubs and obviously a womaniser because of his pretty looks and almost took advantage of me while we were in a relationship. He would say that he would marry me and that nothing's gonna happen and..."

Sumayyah had enough that she hits the desk and stood up. "Enough Maryam. I don't wanna listen to your craps any longer. Do you think I would believe everything you are saying and you think I don't know you much?"
