Chapter 21-- Family Dinner went Well I

Chapter 21_____>>>>>>>>

Family Dinner Went Well I.

HAZBULLAH's POV:

  ***FLASHBACK CONTINUES***

    The loud sound of the alarm for 6:00pm bought me out of my trance as I hissed looking at the outfit he bought out.

   "Sani am I going for a burial?" I asked to which he shakes his head.

    "No sir, the color suits you well" He said.

    Sani is fond of saying stuffs like that to which I do not know wether I should take as a compliment or an insult.
Black is sure not bad at all.

    I wore the clothes standing infront of the mirror to view myself.

   'It's actually true, It suits me' I thought inwardly smiling at my reflection.

   I exited the room and arrived at the first floor through the elevator.

   Sani was waiting for me by the elevator as usual.

   He coughed immediately hitting his chest lightly due to the different strong scents of perfumes I sprayed.

   "Sani, you know you can walk further right"

    I said to him indicating for him to not always trail behind me since my perfume often disturbs him.

   "It'll be hard to distinguish who the leader is if I do that Sir" Sani said to which I glared at him.

   "Are you trying to say you're better looking than me?" I asked him to which he shakes his head denyingly.

   "Never sir" he answered.

    "Then I think it's pretty obvious from the looks and physique" I said to him before walking further into the car.

   Sani followed soon after and we drove off to the mansion.

    The car came to a sudden halt directly infront if the Hakima's mansion main entrance.

    "Sani, you can go back home" I said to him to which he denied "no sir, I'll wait" he said.

   I gave him a warning gaze which he did not see because his head was bowed.

    Most people do not have the courage to look at me in the eye and speak, It makes me wonder how intimidating I look or sound.

    I walked further into the mansion and towards the dining area in a composed manner.

    The light chatter and little laughs welcomed me as I entered.

   Mr and Mrs. Hakim were seated already with the Wu Lings'.

    "Good day mother" I greeted her giving her a light perk on her cheeks before forcing a smile up at my father and taking a seat right near Chen.

    Chen smiled widely an engulfed me into a hug which caught me completely off-guard.

     "The act starts now" She whispered into my ears making me recall our deal.

    I stretched my hands and patted her back lightly before she pulled back with the same smile on her face.

     "How have you been?" She asked to which I nodded and answered "fine".

     All eyes were on the two of us as we act like a lovely couples who had been together for long.

     I was a bit worried from my side but Chen's reassuring smile wiped away all my fears.
I was doing great.

"Wow I can see you two have sorted things out" Mr. Hakim chimed in.

"Hazbullah and I have decided to give this relationship a chance" Chen said but the reality was fat from that.

      "That's lovely" Mrs. Wu Ling dramatically said.

      My attention was on my mother's face.
I hope she is convinced because I know she is not someone to get easily swayed.

Her cheerful expression made me at ease.
She seems convinced and I can not be any happier than I am.

      "I cannot wait to meet my grandchildren" Mrs. Hakim said making me choke on the water I was drinking upon hearing her.

     The elders laughed while Chen blushed profusely.

    I had to force a smile up on my face looking at them.

     "I suggest they get engaged immediately" Mrs. Hakim suggested to which they all nodded.

    "Why the rush" I suddenly interjected making all their gazes turn to me.

      "Time is not on our side son" Mr. Hakim said to they all nodded again in agreement.

    "But I heard you have another championship math next tomorrow?" Mrs.Hakim said.

    "Yes mother, It's in Lagos and I shall be leaving early in the morning" I answered.

     "The engagement will hold after your match then...?" Mr. Hakim asked which sounded more like a command because I have no choice in this when he interferes.

    "What do you say Chen?" I asked the lady who has been unusually quiet for a moment.

    ".....I don't mind, it's cool" She nonchalantly said shrugging her shoulders a bit.

    She sounded so moody which got me wondering what got into her.

    She was so excited for the dinner and was active For some time.

    Then what made her mood fowl all of a sudden.
