The Little Glimpse

YOONGI'S POV

I knocked on the Eshaal's office door but didn't got any response, I tried again and still no response she usually answer in serious and cold tone but she's quite today. I decided to sneak in, I know it's not good idea and she'll get angry but I'm unwillingly worried about her.
I carefully yet sneakily twisted the door knob and pushed the door open quietly, as I peeked inside i saw her sitting on the floor facing the wall, Her back towards the door. Pleasant to see she's not facing towards this direction or else she would've already freak out or snap at me.

"what's she doing...?" i thought to myself, then my eyes drooped on the mat she's sitting on, that's when I understood that she's praying. I've seen this in videos and sometimes in movies. That's how Muslims prays. She looked peacefully calm which made me admire her, even i'm not seeing her face and those fierce eyes. As she moved and bowed down on floor i realized that I shouldn't be watching her, not like this. I glanced at her last time then left to my cabin after closing the door carefully without making any noise.

ESHAAL'S POV

As i sat in the last rakat of salah i felt like i was being watched, I did the salam then turned to see only to find no one, but someone knocked on the door a moment ago, maybe it was Miss Luna, she's the only one allowed to come in my cabin expect anything else is necessary. Then I turned back to face the qibla to make dua by raising my hands.
After completing salah i returned back to desk and dialed Luna's cabin lead line number.

"Yes mam...?" Luna spoke after receiving the call.
"Did you came in my cabin just a while ago...?" i asked looking around the room.
"Me...? No mam, i didn't came there. I'm working in my cabin." Luna replied.
"I'm sorry for disturbance maybe it would be someone else." i replied picking up the pen and spinning it between my fingers.
"it's OK." Luna replied then I end up the call.

A/N POV

As the days went by, one day someone walked in the company and all the workers stopped their work and greeted respectfully.

"Mr. Mansoor sir, how have you been...?" Mr. Seong, the sales manager approached Mr. Mansoor then shake hands together.
"I had been doing well, alhamdulillah. Just wanted to see how my daughter is handling everything here." Mr. Mansoor said looking around.
"oh, Miss eshaal is going better than i expected and i'm sure she'll improve more soon." Mr. Seong said guiding him towards the elevator.
"I'm glad to know that." Mr. Mansoor said following Mr. Seong in the elevator.
"Miss Eshaal is in her office, you can see her there" Mr. Seong said pressing the elevator button to her office floor and Mr. Mansoor nods in response.
As the elevator reached the office floor Mr. Seong guided Mr. Mansoor towards Eshaal's office.
Once Mr. Mansoor reached Eshaal's office, Mr. Seong stood back at some distance and Mr. Mansoor knocked on the door only to hear ''come in'' in faint yet audible voice.
Mr. Mansoor pushed open the door and went inside the office when Eshaal looked up from paperwork her eyes light up with happiness.

"Appa..." She muttured standing up from chair.
Mr. Mansoor walked towards the with a smile.
"Assalamu alay'kum, surprised to see me...?" Mr. Mansoor asked.
"Walaykum assalaam, yes i didn't expected you here." Eshaal spoke with a sheepish smile hidden under her niqab and her eyes crinkling at the corners indicating that she's smiling.
"didn't expected me...? It's still my company little lady." Mr. Mansoor said with a small smile.
"I know that but it was too quick." Eshaal said almost childishly then rounded the desk and stood in front of her father.
"my brave girl had been working hard so I decided to pay a visit to see if everything is going fine and mashallah you've handled it better than i expected." Mr. Mansoor said with a proud smile and gave a gentle pat on her head.
"Everyone here is good alhamdulillah, the whole staff helps me." Eshaal said, her heart filled with gratitude and happiness, she was happy to see her father was pleased by her work.
"By the way, where's your secretary...? He's not replaced yet...?" Mr. Mansoor said, his hand dropping from her head to his side.
"He's in his cabin and, no he's not replaced yet, I asked Mr. Seong and he said no one has assigned for job, strange isn't it...?" Eshaal said, she has told about the secretary to her father before when yoongi was assigned as her secretary.
"Don't worry, I'm sure Allah has better plans for sure. Let me meet your secretary." Mr. Mansoor said taking a seat across the desk.
"Indeed allah has better plans." Eshaal said picking up the leadline telephone.
"come to my office now." she said to yoongi on call when he received the call.
