**FLASHBACK***

    "I like your hair" Hazbullah heard just as he turned to leave the scene of his mother's accident.

    Turning towards the source of the voice, he saw Chen standing just some inches away from him.

    "It is so dark that it reminds me of those darkness nights, As they say the night holds alot of mystery" Chen said.

    "I can sense you're hiding alot and I'll love to unravel those mysteries" She added walking till she stood infront of him.

    "Just give me a chance and let me be the light in your dark world" Chen concluded looking into the his deep black eyes which looks so empty.

    Hazbullah looked at Chen who stepped even more closer to him invading his personal space.

     "Incase you change your mind" Chen said holding his Palm out and Placing her number card on it.

    Hazbullah stared at her then back at the cars before leaving in long strides downstairs.

    Chen looked at the disappearing figure of Hazbullah til he was out of sight.

    "He was here, wasn't he?" Mr. Hakim asked Chen seeing her standing alone.

    "He left" Chen answered turning to face Mr. Hakim.

    "It was not the best dinner but the next one will be better" Mr. Hakim said.

    "He does not look interested" Chen honestly said to the man.

     "We should get going now Chen" Mrs. Wu ling said walking towards her daughter dragging her hand and headed downstairs.

    Mr. Wu ling who was beside his wife followed her as he stares at his furious wife confused.

     "We'll make it work" Mr. Wu ling said to Hakim who nodded before he hurried downstairs following his family.

     Mr. Hakims sighs entering back inside his wife's room watching her eat some fruits.

     "Hakim, where's Hazbullah?" Karima asked her husband her eyes following his movements till he sat on the chair near her bed.

    "Just look at your situation Karima" Hakim said while pointing to the long tube connected to her delicate wrist.

    Karima followed his gaze her eyes began to turn moist.

    "That ingrate son of yours doesn't care about you because he left you" Hakim said to Karima just as she bursted into a fit of tears.

    "No... it can't be true...Hazbullah will never leave me! I am his mother! My son... my son.... He loves his mother!" Karima cried out her heart in agony.

    "Stop crying dear" Hakim sighs holding his wife's hand and rubbing on it soothingly.

    "Bring Hazbullah back to me Hakim, bring our son back" Karima cried silently.

    "It's okay, I'll Hakim said stretching his hand and wiping the tears off her face lovingly.

    "You promise?" Karima said as she sat up and rested her body against the headboard of the gigantic bed.

    "Hakim.... Promise me" Karima said bringing her palm out as she waited for her husband to seal the promise.

     "I promise you my wife that I'll do whatever it takes to bring our son back if only that makes you happy" Hakim promised placing his large palm on Karima's portable ones.

    The couples embraced each other soothingly as they relish their agony in silence.

   Hazbullah walked hurriedly as all the occurrences of the day flowed into his head.

     He looked at the number card on his palm before slipping it into his pockets with an annoying hiss.

    Sani immediately opened the car's door upon sighting Hazbullah.

    "Hope you enjoyed your dinner sir" Sani said just as Hazbullah was about to enter the car.

     Sani bit his tongue realizing what he had said.

     Of course he would not enjoy his dinner when his mother had fainted.

    "Get lost" Hazbullah said to Sani who bowed his head apologetically and rushed to the front seat.

    The drive back to Hazbullah's mansion was a quiet one.

    The silence was so deafening that a piercings sound reverberated in everyone's ear.

    Hazbullah was lost in his own world of thoughts that he had not even noticed that they have arrived.

    "Sir we're here" Sani called out to Hazbullah's attention when he noticed that he had been standing hear him holding the door open but the guy was not exiting.

    "Ehmm" Sani cleared his throat out loud which bought Hazbullah out from his trance.

  Hazbullah hissed lowly before exiting the car while Sani trailed behind him.

    Hazbullah stopped in his tracks which made Sani unexpectedly bump into his strong back.

    "Sorry sir" Sani apologized.

   Hazbullah ignored his apology and continued walking then stops again causing Sani to stop right behind him.

    "Sani!" Hazbullah said in a cold tone.

    "Yes sir" Sani said as he bowed.

    Hazbullah walked again the stops causing Sani to also stop behind him.

    "Sani! Get the damn lost!" Hazbullah scream in annoyance as Sani immediately ran out of the mansion.

    Hazbullah hissed for the umpteenth time walking straight to his gym room.

   He needed to vent out his anger before it ate him up.

    He climbed the stairs hurriedly instead of using the elevator.

    Hazbullah opened the door to his gym walking straight to the punching-bag before proceeding.

    "Arghh!!!" He shouted like a mad maniac punching it with all his strength.

    He repeated the same action punching harder while shouting "father! Father!".

    He sat down on the tiled floor after venting his anger out his whole fit drenched with sweat.

    At this point of time Hazbullah wished it was his father's face he was venting his anger out on.

   It would have been much easier.
