ESHMA

Chapter 31

This chapter is dedicated to BananFari

"No, enjoy your food" she said smiling, i winked at her before digging in my food, my phone beeped indicating a message, I unlock the phone and view the message, making me to drop the fork I'm holding

"What's wrong" asked the ladies

"No....Nothing" I said stammering, I pick my phone and walk to my room quickly, I lock the door as the feeling of betrayal flourishing in my heart, it was a picture of Abdulraheem with a lady, but her face is not showing, right on cue another message pop on

"Hey Eshma what a beautiful morning message you got, you dear love and a girl, wanna see more, meet me in......."

I hiss and through my phone away, trying to steady my breath, I close my eyes and laid my head in the headboard of the bed, all these are part of Jafar's plan and I'm not falling for it, Remembering all that happen in the past I never thought he can kill someone, his best friend, they grow up more like brother but that how he reimbursed him, this live is curial, I lay down on my bed with different thought going on my mind,

"Number is calling" said sire

I ignore the call knowing who the caller is, but it like he plan to disturb my life, the call come in again, I pick the call and wait for the caller to talk

"Hello sweetheart" he said making me to roll my eyes

"I ask you to meet me in the next thirty minutes" he said

"Look Jafar, I will not coming" I lash out on him

"Is that what you say" he replied angry

"Yes, what will you do about it" I spit out

"You will see" he said making jolts ran down my body

I huffed and close my eyes maybe I will drift off to sleep but known is coming, I walk to my balcony to free my mind but instead past memories come running in my mind

Flash back

"Hello babe I'm outside the gate can you please come out"the person on the phone said after I receiving the call
"Huh gate bea, you know Ammie don't like the idea of meeting outside the house premises" I said walking to the balcony to have a glimpse of him not after wearing s as veil on top of my abaya, he drove in and parked his car before walking his self to the garden, my intense gaze on him make him look up and he flash me his smile(his smile kills) I waved at him before finding way to Ammie's room, I enter with taslim

"Ammie Uhmm... Maher is here...." I sated
"Okay, did his Mom send him" she asked pressing her phone
"No"I replied shortly, she knows what I'm gonna say but she like pulling my leg in a situation like this
"Ohh he came to meet me..."
"Ammie" I stop her from saying what she about to say which make her to chuckle
"You can go send my regards to him"

Feeling his gaze all over me since the moment I walked into the garden, I smiled it off and walk to the gazebo with taslim

"Wa'alaikumu Salam my beautiful Arabian princess" he answered with a wide grin, and a blush escape from my face, I keep the tray filled with snacks before sitting opposite him

"And here is my handsome bea" I voice out with a smile
"Awwwn but not as beautiful as you, you look more beautiful each passing day" he said making me to blush
"I thought you will be in Shinkafi today" I said changing the topic, cos I don't want my cheek to get hurt before he leaves
"Yeah, we will be living in the evening"he said
"Are you traveling by plane" I asked being curious, because he told me they will be traveling by car
"No, will spend the night in Kaduna, Abbah has an appointment with a client there"
"Okay then, when will you come back" I asked playing with the bead of my dress
"I don't really know but a week or two,that's if the meeting goes well"
"Okay, I wish you all the best"
"Thank you princess, but don't feel like going seriously" he said hi voice dropping
"Huh, why" I asked
"Uhm I don't know why but I feel like something will go wrong" he voice out
"Nothing is gonna happen, your just exaggerating" I said flashing him a smile, throughly I don't want him to go, assuming he's going alone I would beg him to not go but they're going together with Abba, not even in my imagination I will ask him to not go
"I hope so" he said trying to sound active
"We'll tell me the truth what makes you this extra beautiful today, like you damn look heavenly" he added trying as much as he can to change the atmosphere
"Ohh please don't start" I said cupping my face
"I'm serious babe, you look different today" he added
"Ohh dear please stop" I said with a pout
"Wow, how did you pout this perfect, I always wanna pout like you" he said
"Huh, did you want my cheek to..."
"(Giggles) no I don't want you cheeks to hurt, but I like it when you blush" he says making me blush again
"Let go for a lunch date before I leave" he added
"Okay let me inform Ammie" I said
"Okay my Arabian princess, I will make a reservation before you come"he said, I went in and seek permission from Ammie, I meet him inside his car and we drove to a beautiful lounge, we amble in and the view in front is just...."beautiful" no the word is not doing justice for this place, it looking..."ethereal",
"You like it" he asked noticing my excitement tho I try to restrain it, the host come and introduce herself before showing us up to our reserved area, the place is suspicious enough to contain hundred people but it only have few tables, which are no where close to each other, he helped me settled down just like the gentleman he is and did same
