Marrying the son of Asraf 2

🌿Fifty~ 5🌿

It was 4pm and Sumayyah was less busy and done with her day work when Halima walked into her office grinning ear to ear. Sumayyah sighed out of distress, rolling  her eyes simultaneously to the sigh just by seeing her, while arranging her desk. "What?You don't wanna see me?" Halima inquired, seating on the couch.

"What if not now?... its not even upto 30 minutes since i told you to come" she scoffs.

"I've been outside your office!" Halima answered, making Sumayyah raise a brow in question. "How did you know my office?"

"Luqman directed me..."

"Ohhhhh i see, he doesn't stay put. What if i tell you i wasn't going?"

Halima shurgged. "Then i will just go home..."

Sumayyah felt a sudden relief. "Good then".

But Halima was just being sarcastic, she got up and stood right before Sumayyah's desk and started to assist her in tidying up her desk. "Now get up and lets get going. I have already messaged her that we are on our way" she motioned to the door. Summayyah groans inwardly as she picked up the rape file and stuff it into her hand bag before hanging it on her shoulder. "What case is that!?"

"A rape case." She answered, walking out of the office avoiding more questioning. She signed out and called it a day as they both headed to the parking space. Sumayyah believed that Faruq had picked Azman from school or Rukkayyah had gotten the driver to bring him home, but she still texted him incase she's late and he replied with a thumbs up. She chuckles hoping he doesn't send Benson to pick Azman up and then take him to his office like the last time.

Halima watched Sumayyah's reaction silently, recalling all that she had told her but figuring Sumayyah out before anyone else its pointless. She's mysterious to them. Sumayyah unlocked her car and while getting into the driver's seat, Halima quickly sat at the passenger's seat making Sumayyah glare at her.

"Where is your car?'

Halima hissed. "Why are you being irritational and sensitive, i came with an uber. So please i beg you stop being annoying and just drive the damn car joor. Duk munyi latti. (We are already late.). You also know that she had lost her Twin and since the Ta'aziya, i didn't visit her until i saw her post that hanifa's son is celebrating his birthday. I know you didn't know." She stated, but when Sumayyah didn't answer, Halima was quick to pick.

She groans, slaping her forehead. "You knew? Oh how are you so two faced you idiot." She hissed.

"I called her, she was angry and i asked about Hanifa, that's when she told me that she had died. I was ice cold, and i didn't know how to react." Sumayyah answered before starting the car engine, reversing out of the parking space and driving out into the main highway.

Almost half of the ride, the car was silent and just the recitation of the Quran was heard. Meanwhile, Halima was battling if to tell her, her relationship with Faruq even though it's not certained but Jamila knows and finding out later will make her very angry and on second thought, bring up her personal matter to the complicated life of Summayyah is a no go area.

She sighed deeply as she strolls through her phone, and Summayyah noticed. "You've been sighing since we got into the car, are you perhaps in love!?" She asked and Halima jolted. That was out of the blue.

"What in the world do you mean by that?"

Summayyah chuckled. "Tell me, who is it this time, I know you have left Muazu and Uzayfa. Who is this lucky guy?"

Halima scoffs. "Can any guy be lucky guy? They just make things difficult especially when they find out how soft I am. I really don't know what to do. Mum is pestering me to get a man and marry, but she just wouldn't understand that some men are not worth getting married too." She said, looking out the window.
