Pearl (on hold)

Chapter 22

Adal's POV

Arriving on the same day you're having a business meeting is practically the worst thing that can ever happen to you.

I arrived Singapore early yesterday but with my tired self i had to drag myself and attend a business meeting I wasn't even interested in, all the time the people present during the meeting and what they were saying wasn't even getting my attention because all my attention was on going back and finding her.

The meeting took three hours and by the time we were done I almost jumped with happiness, i mean who loves sitting down for three hours listening to what you aren't even interested in listening to?

I reached home at around 11:00 pm due to the traffic and unnecessary stops that did nothing but add to my stress.

This should probably explain why I'm still lying down with half of my body  on my bed and half on the floor at around 4:00 pm.

Wait what?! 4:00pm?! Holy shit!

I quickly got up from my half positions and ran into the bathroom to perform ablution. What the hell was i still doing in bed sleeping when I haven't prayed any prayer and I'm supposed  to be heading back to New York today?

You're too much Adal ahmad omar...

After performing ablution i got my prayer mat and spread it on the floor and prayed all the prayers and when I reached my last sujood i decided to stay longer and prayed to Allah to help me find her, show me some sign, i cried my heart out to him and asked him for forgiveness for all the pass things I've done, having unhealthy relationships, maltreating the only one person that is meant to be for me and also forgive me for praying late.

I took my bath after praying and settled for a pair of black skinny jeans and blue long sleeved shirt that afreen liked seeing on me.

Well I know that because the first time i wore it she looked at me and smiled but me being the jerk I've always been i frowned which I'm sure scared her so she didn't voice out her opinion.

With my pair of ray-ban sun shades and pair toms shoes i was set and left the hotel to head to where my jet was stationed so I could go back home.

'' what the hell do you mean by we can't fly today?'' I asked my pilot angrily and being the old man that has known me since i was still wearing diapers he just shrugged...

''What i mean by we are not flying today is we are not flying today because based on the weather forecast the weather today wouldn't be suitable for travelling'' kamal my pilot said casually ignoring my glare and  i groaned in frustration not only because I wouldn't be going back home but because kamal looked so pleased.

''Can't we find another way''i asked.

''Well unless you want to suddenly become super man and fly or drive from here to new York which I'd be glad to see you try or if you're tired of life and want to commit suicide then yes there are ways,but if no I'm sorry son you have to stay for another night or till when the weather becomes safe''he said with a grin and I groaned.

''I guess i have no other choice '' i said and he smiled...

''Aren't you thinking of considering the other options?''he asked and i tolled my eyes at him playfully.

''If you'd give me your cape, or drive me to New York or die first since you're older i would consider '' i said and he just laughed shaking his head.

''But on a serious note Adal I'm glad you're staying,give yourself a break,ever since Afreen travelled you haven't been yourself, she'll be back soon In sha Allah, and I'm sure she'll still want to be a married woman and  not a widow once she is back'' he said seriously and i stared at him taking in every word he was saying.
