Creating Destiny

Chapter One

The morning lights are peeping through the blinds on my face. I turned around to avoid the lights and I see my clock ticking to 6. It's freaking 6 in the morning. I jumped out of the bed as if I saw a demon in front of me. I couldn't wake up for my morning prayer, on the hand I don't want to get late for my work. I washed up and changed to a comfy sweater and Jasmine pants.

When I went downstairs my mother had made breakfast and everyone was seated near the table. "Assalamu alaikum Father and Mother." I greeted my parents first.

"Walaikum as Salam Suhaila." My Father answered my greetings.

"Walaikum as Salam Suha, you missed the morning prayers." My mother said. She was not that happy that I missed it. I mouth a sorry and hugged her.

"Assalamu alaikum Sister." My younger sister Safaa greeted. Followed by her my little brother Ayan also greeted.

"Walaikum as Salam both of you." I smiled.

"So Suhaila tell me why did you miss your morning prayers?" My father asked me.

"I was up till 2 to finish the project to open a branch in Dubai" I answered feeling sorry that I missed the most important prayers.

My father nodded and he left. I thanked my food and went upstairs to get ready.

I took my navy blue blouse and black pencil skirt. It took 30 minutes to get ready. When I was about to leave my sister calls me for help.

"Sister will you help me choose an outfit and accessories." Safaa asked.

"Sure I still have time. Let's go." I followed her to the room. I chose her a pastel pink top and black skinny jean with simple studs and an owl necklace.

"Thank you. Now go before you get late."Safaa said with a smile.

I ran downstairs really fast which I nearly fell from the staircase since I was wearing my high heels. I gave a goodbye kiss to mom and rushed to my car. *you guys can see a picture of my car the from cover :) *

I reached my office by 30 minutes ride since there was no traffic. Thank god I still have time. As soon as I entered the people in the building started greeting me. Of course, I greeted them back. My assistant Hannah was there with all the presentation hard copy waiting for my arrival. Everyone is excited about the big meeting we were about to have in few hours. Well, they are excited not about the meeting, they all are excited to meet the crown prince of Dubai.

"Assalamu alaikum Ms.Suhaila, All the preparation for 9 o'clock meeting is ready." Hannah greeted handing me all the hard copies.

"Walaikum as Salam, Thank you, Hannah. Make sure nobody is late to the meeting. That will be all." I dismissed her and slumped down on the chair and closed my eyes before I begin with all the works. I started going through all the presentation for the last time to see if there were any mistakes or not.

It was almost 9. I am waiting with my father for the guests to arrive. Here we go.

"Assalamu alaikum. I am Zaydan Hussein." The crown prince introduced himself with a handshake to my father.

"Walaikum as Salam, I'm Shams Naseer and this is my daughter Suhaila Shams. Thank you for giving your precious time to attend the meeting." My Father said.

"Walaikum as Salam. A pleasure to meet you." I greeted back with a bow.

"The pleasure is all mine." Zaydan bowed back. "Let's go and carry on with the meeting."

In the meeting room, I am the one who has to present the presentation. I am so nervous, with the word Bismillah I started. The whole meeting took 1 hour and 30 minutes discussing what more to add and stuffs.

"I would like to say a few words before we end the meeting. If the project opening our new hotel in Dubai is approved. I do not wish to select a site where the families live just because that site attracts more people. If we did take the place those poor people will not have a place to move. I may sound selfish here but I don't want to harm or put anyone's lives in hardship. I am sure that we can find a place near the beach areas without destroying anybody's home. Thank you."."

With that everyone started clapping even the crown prince and my father is clapping too. However, my father was in shock of what I said. Well, it's true. Oh my god, I hope they approve it or else my father would be not pleased by the little speech I gave before we ended the meeting. "Oh, my Allah please help me" I started praying.

I stayed at the meeting room till everyone leaves. I saw my father talking to the Crown Prince about something. I quietly collected my files in a really slow pace.

"Suhaila dear." I heard my father call me.

"Yes, father." I replied coming near to him.

"I am really impressed with your presentation today even that little speech you added there. The Crown Prince himself was pleased. Keep up the good job my dear." He said patting my head. I am pleased to hear that from my father.

After he left the meeting room I collected all my belongings and left to my office.

"How did the meeting go?" Hannah asks once she sees me entering our block.

"It went fine Insha Allah. We just have to wait for him to approve both the building and the new project." I said smiling.

"So tell me is he handsome up close?" Hannah asks twinkling around me.

"Hannah really?" I said lifting one brow up.

"What?! He is a handsome famous prince isn't he?" Hannah said taking a seat on my sofa.

"Yeah, but I was more concentrated on my presentation than looking at him Hans." I said slumping near her. She handed me a box.

"What is this?" I ask her curiously.

"Come on open it." She said. I carefully opened the box. It was my Starbucks coffee mug, technically the one I had which Hannah broke it by accident.

"Ohh Hans you didn't have to buy me one." I smiled.

"Well it was your favorite mug and it broke from my hands so yeah. My present and sorry." She said.

"How many times do I have to say its okay? We are humans, things like this will happen. Just forgive each other rather getting angry with one another." I said hugging her.

"Okay, I am going to do my work. Want anything?" She asks before she leaves.

"No, I am good and thank you. You even engraved my name on it." I said observing the mug.

"Yes, I did." With that, she disappears from my office.

I am really lucky to have a good friend plus an excellent assistant. I kept my mug on my coffee table and went to my desk to see what I have to go through today. The interior designer has a couple of designs, the structure of the new office and different types of furniture designs. Everything she has send me is stunning it's super hard to choose. I would to go with my father and choose some, so I kept that file away for now. There is a lot to go through since we need the proposal to be accepted since this would be a good development for our company. If they approve it, this would be the best hotel we would be able to build.
