chapter Eleven

OMG! I regretted giving Barr Abdul kareem my number, he can be so annoying and dosen't know when to call and not.

"What do you want again?" I snapped.

"I just wanted to hear your sweet voice" he answered.

"Honestly!" I was so irritated.

"stop calling me except you have something important to tell me please" I tried to make my voice sound bitter and annoying so he could just leave me alone but he just busted into laughter

"Wow...you're quite a drama queen.....hahahahahaha" he laughed louder and I was so irritated.

"Please repeat what you just said..."he mocked and I angrily cut off the phone on him.

He kept calling me but I refused to pick his call and he started sending me series of text message saying his sorry one of the text message caught my attention and got me thinking.

"I'm so sorry beauty queen, I adore you so much.

I know you hate me but please let's start all over again"

I replied him after a long thought.

"Counsel please let's keep it formal and please don't play games with me."

Immediately I got a reply from him which made me laugh.

"I'm very serious I want to get to know you better

I promise I would be of good conduct"

"This guy is such a jerk" I thought out loud.

"I would think about it..."

I typed but hesitated to press the send button so I deleted it and typed another message

"I don't want to have anything but litigations to do with you.

Please only contact me on official grounds."

I pressed the send button and envisaged his reactions which made me laugh out loud.

"Forgive me I'm outside the gate of your house" he replied.

"whaat" I exclaimed and peeped outside through the window of the sitting room and behold he was standing beside his car staring at his phone, probably for my reply.

"This guy would put me in trouble if I'm not careful how on earth did he know where I lived" I murmured as I hurriedly wore my Abaya (a long cover dress) to probably cover my body and dash out.

When he saw me he approached me with a smile but I didn't reciprocate I was ready to give him a piece of my mind but he hushed me before I even found my words.

"Please I'm very sorry for coming to your house unannounced please for the sake of God forgive me" he pleaded sincerely and immediately I soften.

"How did you know where I lived, have you been stalking me?" I asked gently.

"No. my younger sister lives three building away from yours .last week I came to visit her and I saw you then I asked her after you, she told me you' re neighbors and showed me your house".

"You mean Anty Jamila?" he nodded.

"Wow! What a coincidence" she exclaimed.

"She is a very nice woman" I admitted

"So she said about you" he said and I blushed.

"Ehm...sorry about your loss...my sister told me about your father" he said softly and my heart skipped a beat.
