Amaan wheeled his cart towards the cashier's table. He take out his credit card and hand it over to her.
Amaan typed in his PIN and waited for the cashier to take his bills.

Sir, you have insufficient funds.
Are you crazy? What do you mean I have insufficient funds? Do you know who I am? Amaan spat.
I'm sorry sir, I will try again.
The cashier give Amaan the POS machine.
He typed in his PIN and it's still insufficient.

Amaan take his card and check his phone.
What! Amaan yell.
Sir, please stop shouting you are startling other customers.
Amaan left the cart and rushed out of the mall.

He threw his car open and drove out of the mall.
Who did this to me?
Affan can't see? How did he get access to the company and the account? Amaan muttered frustratedly.
He reach the house and roughly drive inside.
Amaan park his car and hop out of the car without closing the door.

Ummi, Ummi, Amaan yell while trotting inside.
Hajiya Hafsah, Adnan and Afnan abruptly stand up immediately Amaan barge inside the living room.
Amaan, what is wrong with you?
Ummi Affan freeze the company's account. I don't have any access to the company's money.
Adnan chuckle.

Bro, Ya Affan is blind and he doesn't know anything about the company. How are you sure he is the one?
Amaan show Adnan the mail.
I don't think Ya Affan did that. Adnan mumble.
If he didn't do it, then you did. Adnan, why did you do that?
Amaan jerk Adnan and raise his hand to hit him.

Stop. Hajiya Hafsah screeched.
She pick up her phone and call Affan.
Affan come to my house now. Hajiya Hafsah thundered and hung up.
Ummi, I will kill Affan. Amaan pace in the living room.
Adnan shook his head and stormed out of the living room.

Affan grab his car key and storm out of his bedroom.
He take a long stride to the living room.
Jawad crawl to him.
Affan bend down to his level and pick him up.
Sunshine, Abbah is going out. I won't stay long. See you when I'm back. Affan peck the little boy on his cheek and drop him on the tile floor.

Affan ignore Khadijah and March to the porch.
Where are you going to? Khadijah's voice stopped him.
Affan Humm and storm out of the living room.
Affan call his driver and ask him to drive him to his house.
I have to keep on with the labyrinth. Affan muttered inwardly.

The drive to his father's house was fast.
The driver drove inside and parked the car in the parking lot.
He take Affan out of the car.
Affan marched inside.
Asalalamualikum, Affan muttered immediately he stepped inside the living room.

Wa Alaikum salam, Adnan and Hajiya Hafsah chores.
Affan why...
Amaan. Hajiya Hafsah stopped him.
Ummi you called me here. Affan muttered.
Yes.
Affan, why did you freeze the company's account and block Amaan from having access to the money?
Affan chuckle.

Ummi, have you forgotten I am blind? I can't see. How would I do that to Amaan?
I haven't been to the company since Abbah died.
That's what I tried explaining to Amaan. Adnan impeded.
Affan Your name shows...
Ummi someone might have used my name.
Who knows if it's one of Amaan's close friends that he trusted with the company?
Ummi there are fake signatures now. Affan muttered.

Hajiya Hafsah facepalm frustratedly.
Ummi, don't believe him. He is lying. Amaan held Hajiya Hafsah's hand.
Ummi I have never lied to you. Affan add-in.
Hajiya Hafsah was confused.
She doesn't know who to believe among her two Son.
