LOVE IN MY WORLD

_CHAPTER 4: SULTAN'S POV_

"Alright, anyhow, we'll see about it tomorrow." I hung up the phone and tossed it onto the bed, removing my shirt to freshen up. That was Sabir, my closest friend and project partner, calling about our project.

I made my way into the bathroom, enveloped by its warm radiance. The water filled the bathtub, and I slid in, resting my head and closing my eyes. As I savored how the water eased every knot of fatigue in my body, suddenly today's events flashed through my mind.

"Who is she???" I pondered, a smile spreading across my lips. "Her round, bright, shiny eyes, her pointed nose, plump lips, her captivating smile that pierced through my heart, her sweet voice that sounds like a melodious guitar... Ya Allah, from what planet did this stunning beauty come from?? She's so ma Shaaaa Allah."

I got out of the bathroom and headed straight to my closet, wearing a grey shirt and black sweatpants with white stripes. I returned to the room and slumped onto the bed, needing some rest. I tilted my head to the right and came face-to-face with her hankie, the one she gave me earlier.

Afra entered the room without me noticing, standing right beside my bed, her hands on her hips, giving me a peculiar look.i brought the hankie to my face as the smell of vanillah finds it's way to my nostrils which made me inhale more of it a wide smile spread on my lips
"Subhanallah Sultan what are you doing??"my inner self warned.i quickly tried standing up from the bed to go wash the little mocktail on it.

"Gosh, you startled me!" I exclaimed, clutching my chest.

"For how long have you been here? And why did you just barge into my room without knocking or Salam? What's with you?" I added, slightly irritated.

"What's with that look? Why are you staring at me that way?" I asked, now getting annoyed.

"Haba Ya Sultan, calm down, I'm sorry," Afra said with a pout.

I rolled my eyes and stood up from the bed. "Kyaji dashi."(na you know)

"Amma ya Sultan, whose hankie is that?" she added, pointing at the hankie in my hand, chuckling.

"Ina ruwanki sa ido," (what's your business)I said.

"Kodai kodai ne ya Sudais," she said with a wide grin.

"Wallahi, I'll strangle you, Afra!" I said, throwing a pillow at her. She ran off and slammed the door,w which made me missed.i entered the bathroom and started washing the hankie in the sink with a smile.

"Ya Sultan Abba ne dama yace in Kira ka,"(ya Sultan it's Abba that said I should call you) Afra yelled from the door.

"Waii, you should meet him in his parlour."she added and slammed the door again

"This girl... I need to knock some sense into her head one day," I thought.

I rinsed the hankie and hung it on the toilet hanger, then left for Abba.

******

"Assalamu'alaiiikum," I said, entering the parlour.

"Wa'alaikumus Salam, Sultan," Abba answered, typing away on his laptop.

"Ina wuni," I greeted.

"Lapiya Alhamdulillah," he said.

"Samu wuri ka zauna magana zamuyi magana ne."(find a place and sit I want us to discuss something).

I quietly did as he said.

"Sultan, I want you to take over the company as the CEO."

"What?!" I exclaimed.
