MARRIED TO MY BEST FRIEND S2 (BOOK 1) ✔️

27~ At the Devil Boss's Lyre

Anah stepped down the cab and turned to face the white marble modern mansion. She re-checked the bouquet of daisies and lilies she has gotten for Mrs. Zafar Ali before entering through the main gate. As she climbed the stairs leading up the main door she marveled at the beauty of the mansion. The main door is made of high quality Mahogany with elaborate work on it.

A security guard stopped her at the entrance. They checked her ID and let her in only when one of the old security guards recognized her.

Anah is led inside by a young butler. She looked around, there has been a lot of changes since she has last been year, maybe three years ago. The living room itself was so huge that it could accommodate whole of her apartment. Anah almost sunk into the posh peach sofa, she placed her arm on the well-polished wooden arm rest. She glanced up at the beautiful lit chandelier that hung right in the center of the room. She looked down at the beautiful maroon, golden and red Persian carpet, it felt very soft under her feet. She was made to remove her shoe for they didn't want the carpet to be damaged. It was fair since the carpet looked priceless. As Anah looked around she wondered how it would feel like being rich and owning a place like this. She hoped one day she becomes so successful and rich that she can afford something similar like this.

'You here?' Anah is startled hearing a hoarse, very familiar, voice. She turned her head and found Ejaz standing at the door. She looked at him, he is dressed in his casuals- grey V-neck half sleeve Tee and track pants. His curly hair ruffled. He held a coffee mug in his one hand and the other tucked into his pant pocket.

Anah looked away from him for a moment and then back at him. She nodded.

He walked into the room. Anah watched him remove his blue and white flip flops and walk towards the sofa. He sat opposite her.

He looked briefly at her. She looked like she had just come from work. Ejaz noticed her makeup, lip gloss had disappeared but her Kohl looked like it was freshly done. As usual, she was dressed in simplicity, V neck three-quarter sleeved lavender Top and Denim jeans. She looked simple yet modern. But one thing Ejaz didn't like was her luscious golden-brown hair being tied in a loose fish tail braid and resting on her shoulder.

Ejaz's trance broke when Anah shifted little. His gaze traveled away from her to the bouquet that she held.

'Why have you come?' Ejaz asked taking a sip from his cup. Anah looked at him and told him that she has come to visit his mother. Ejaz nodded and stood up, reflexively Anah stood up too. He looked at her and she looked away embarrassed. Ejaz informed her that his mother is upstairs in her room and asked her to follow him.

He called for a butler and handed him the cup and walked front. Anah followed him closely. Unlike before this time she dared not move her gaze around, instead, she kept it fixed on the floor only occasionally glancing at his back.

In tension, she stumbled and almost fell front but managed to hold the stair railing and steady herself.

'Be careful.' Ejaz warned her. His voice soft and filled with concern. Anah liked it but she didn't let it show on her face.

Entering the room, Anah looked up. Mrs. Zafar Ali sat on the bed with her left leg stretched. Anah noticed the bandage covering her ankle and she felt bad. There was a nurse in white dress attending to her and a butler arranging snacks and tea for her.

'Mom.' Ejaz called and the woman looked up. She smiled at her son but her smile faded on seeing Anah beside him. She took few moments to recollect her. She then greeted her warmly. She told her that she remembers Anah mostly by her name than face.

'Ejaz's father can't stop talking about you. Recently even Ejaz is singing your praise.' She said with a smile. Anah looked at Ejaz who fumbled feeling embarrassed. Anah smiled as he hurriedly took their leave.

Anah forwarded the lady the bouquet and they chatted for some time, hardly ten-fifteen minutes, before Anah took her leave.
