As always I am at my office working. Then someone knocked the door. I thought it was Mohammad, So I told to come in.

Someone came in.

"Assalamualaikum alaikum Mr. Shawn Ahmed. Looks like you are so busy right now. I should come another time hummm???"
He said.

Wait....is he.....????

I looked up at him. Yess I was right. It was Noah. Noah Quraishi my best friend.

"Yahhh. Noah. You didn’t told me that you will be here? How are you??", I said. And went up to him and hugged him.

"Yeah..yeah. Just wanted to surprise you. But you indeed surprised me. Ceo. Not bad. Not bad.", he said.

"Yeah. You know my parents. ", I said.

Then Mohammad came in my office. He was also shocked to see him after 5 years. Yeah he went to abroad because of his further studies. And after 5 years he is now here.

In this five years, many things had happened. I became the ceo, Mohammad joined me and so much more.

"Woah...Noah. What a present surprise! How are you?", Mohammad said and also hugged him.

Yes, me and Mohammad are childhood friend. But now we all are best friends like a trio.

"Yes, I am fine. How are you two?", Noah asked.

"Yes, yes we are fine.", Mohammad said.

"Okay. Now I am here. You guys have to spend time with me. And what I have missed in this years?", noah asked.

"Noah, umm actually we have a lot of work today. Tomorrow is Friday. We are gonna spend time with you tomorrow. And you are not going back right?", I said.

"What?? Tomorrow? Okay fine. You workaholic people. And yeah I came back permanently.", noah said.

"That's great. Then where are you staying right now?", I asked.

"Oh..I am staying with my grandmother right now.", noah said.

"Oh I see.", I said.

"Okay then. I will meet you guys tomorrow. ", noah said.

"Wait. You are already leaving?", I said.

"Yeah. I have to meet my other friends. Bye then.", noah said.

"Okay then.", I said.

"Okay. Come noah I will see you off.", Mohammad said and went out with him.

Hmmm. Finally he is here. I really missed him at that time. Mohammad supported me at my worst. If he wasn’t there, maybe I would have committed sui- Astagfirullah.

I always seek for forgiveness from Almighty Allah because of what I was thinking at that time. It was all because of her.

Whatever. I then again went back to work. Yeah now people call me workaholic. But I concentrate on my work only to forget about her.

After sometime Mohammad came to my cabin with some files. As I was seeing those files.

I asked him,"Did you drop noah at the main gate?"

"Yeah. I did. But he..umm nevermind.", he said.

"What? He what?", I asked.

"No sir. It’s not important. It’s just when we were going he stopped in front of the marketing department.", he said.

"Marketing Department? Why?", I said.

"Oh you remember our new assistant manager of the marketing department? He was actually talking to her. ", he said.

"Who? Ms. Joya?", I said.

"Yes sir.", he said.

"Hmm okay. You can go now to your cabin. If I need anything I will call you.", I said.

He smiled and went out.

Noah just came finishing his studies. And Ms. Joya is working under my office for about 3 months now. But how do they know each other?

Ms. Joya is not from this town. Then how?

Whatever. It’s their matter. I shouldn’t interfere.

But curiosity and over thinking is just killing me.

Speaking of Ms. Joya I didn’t even see her after her interview session. Yeah of course. The work pressure is so much that I couldn’t even go out from my cabin.

And yeah this is my life. And yeah I am happy about it.
