Changes in the office started with Azhar's behaviour.
It has been almost a week since Azhar found out about Zianna's medical diagnosis and now he wants to make things right for her at the office.
This surprised Zianna as she wasn't used to her boss being nice to her or any employee at the office.
Azhar was cheerful and smiling with her and also other lawyers. It was seeing someone else in front of her.
My boss has been abducted by aliens and replaced by one of them.
Zianna looked at her boss, confused about how he had acted towards her since morning.
"Sir, are you alright?" Zianna asked him.
"Yes, alhamdulilah. Why are you asking that Miss. Hussein?" Azhar asks with a confused look on his face.
"Um, you are doing things that seem to be unsual for you to do..."
Azhar looked at her with a small smile and now he understands what Zianna's behaviour is like.
"You can have fun without breaking the rules," Zianna once told him when she received the rules for her to follow.
"Because our life isn't promised tomorrow Zianna. I want to live life happily. Didnt you tell me that having fun isnt breaking the rules, right? So I am following your example," he said with a smile.
Zianna was confused as to why her boss was acting like this especially when he had started calling her by her first name.
Could he be sick? Or did someone die over the weekend? I just hope that this isn't an act to be friends with me.
"Okay, Sir. These are the documents that you asked for about the clients that won the case a few days back," she says handing him the file to sign.
Azhar took the papers and signed them. He handed them back to Zianna with a smile on his face.
This confuses her more than ever as he never used to smile at her and would also have a grumpy look.
"Is that all or is there more?" He asked when she didnt move from where she was.
"No, sir. Excuse me."
Azhar couldn't help but chuckle at Zianna's expression when she saw him smiling and laughing.
So this is what it feels like when you are kind to people even by just smiling. Mamma has always been right about smiling at people you work with or even strangers. Now the main question is how to get her brother to be my friend. Think, think, Azhar.

Meanwhile, Zianna was in shock as to why she just witnessed her boss being nice to her.
"Zianna, are you okay?" Khalid asks her. "I have been calling you for five minutes now. Is everything okay?"
"I am sorry, sir. Yes, everything is fine alhamdulilah. I am just shocked by what happened with Mr. Muhsin, he isn't behaving the way he always did with me. Sir, I have to ask, did something happen over the weekend to your family for him to act like this," Zianna asked him.
"No, nothing happened. Why are you asking me all of this Zianna?"
Zianna explained to him about Azhar's changes towards her. This surprised Khalid as he remembered the first time that Azhar met Zianna and what he said.
"Zianna, nothing is wrong with him. Maybe he now understands what it's like to be human, to be a normal person even if he is a lawyer. He doesn't have to always be strict and firm. One thing about Azhar is that he wants everything to be the way he sees fit," Khalid explained to Zianna. "So he is new at being human and not a robot that only knows how to work and work all the time..."
"I know how to have fun. Stop telling her lies, Uncle," Azhar says interrupting his uncle who has an amused look on his face.
"I wasn't lying when I said that you were always serious about work and you even have rules that you make others follow. Remember when you were in high school, you gave your sister a bunch of rules that your parents..."
"Okay, okay. I get it." Azhar cuts his uncle off while Zianna can't help but giggle at both of them.
Azhar looked at her with caring eyes. This didn't go unnoticed by his uncle Khalid who just shook his head at how his nephew had been acting especially in front of Zianna.
Maybe Zianna could change you to be the same as you were in the past before you got hurt. But I also need to keep an eye on Zianna and also Azhar. Maybe Zianna is the one who would bring my nephew out of whatever has been holding him back from the past.
After a few days, Zianna thought that her boss would return to how he was, but she was surprised at him acting the same way.
Cheerful.
Happy and that isn't the character that Zianna was used to for her boss.
