Chapter thirty five

Her phone started to vibrate during the same time she was fast asleep, the phone kept buzzing until it ended. Minutes after the phone’s light turned off a notification came through and that was when she reached out for the phone beside the lamp.

She carelessly looked at the notification for some seconds and returned the phone to its previous position.

The next day was as vivid as a summer vacation. She woke up early and commenced packing the stuffs she will need in her trip, At the same time she received a call.

Hey! Morning” she said through the phone

I was fast asleep yesterday, abbur I read your text message. Are you coming over?” she voiced out

She halted for some moments before she responded to him in the phone.

“Abba said that himself? That he’s going to send an escort for me?” she gasped and still couldn’t close her mouth

“I told him that you are going to catch a flight by 10am but he insisted to send a jet along an escort for you. Though it was not just his idea, general Ibrahim suggested first due to your illness still he doesn’t  want you to be all by yourself in whatsoever journey you are to take. He want you to be safe now and always” came khalifa’s voice through the phone

She inhaled a deep breath and nodded her head in a positive way trying not to cry because she has never expect someone else apart from her parents to be so considerate and lovely. She knew this is definitely not a dream yet she was in awe in such reality that seized to be just like a yarn.

“Okay, I gat to go…bye. My regards to Amma” he said and gave a blow kiss and hanged up

Every minute she spent packing her stuff her heart would skip a beat without no reason and she can’t believe what her mind has been whispering because it has been a while sithen she found herself in such state.

She blew out air from her mouth and went to the open the door that was knocked someone. She slightly opened the door that showed her the figure of Haleem. She rose her eyebrow and asked

“Since when did you came back?”

He beamed and responded with “since the time your ex-husband phoned me and asked for a favor” he continued

“Amma is asking for you downstairs”

Before she even process what he just said he left, so, she walked to the stairway and leaned against the case. Surprisingly, she saw him sitted on a sofa that was facing Amma.

She walked back to her room and took the boubou veil she was suppose to wear and descended downstairs.

She smiled at hammad who was never tired of staring at her and headed to the couch adjacent to her mother.

“Ina kwana…ya hanya (Good morning, how was your trip)”  she amicably said

“it was good, thanks for asking.” Although he seemed comfortable yet he wasn’t comfort at all

“khalifa’s dad sent him. I suppose you are now a part of the Rufa’I’s due to these special treatments you are getting from your Abba” Amma teased

“well, I guess that was his way of appreciating me for accepting the government proposal!” she playfully acted which made her looked more cute

She clapped her hands and stood physically, then wandered upstairs to get her boxes and all.
