All The Way From Home

chapter 15

Firdaus's pov

" so ...you said he's leaving because of work being mishandled" I said while facing halima with a cup of coffee in my hand

"Yes . He said he's going to leave tommorow "
Who ever knew grumpy was this responsible of having a company
Well, I guess I shouldn't judge a book by its cover

" huh, well I wish him complete luck to it " i said while sipping my coffee

" yh...why don't you go and say it to him yourself , I mean you guys should have a clean slate before he leaves ...he's still in Luton for some reason that I think is you "

He's still around ? I thought he left

"Or you know what" she says while picking her phone from her pocket

"I'll tell him i want to have dinner with him before he leaves because I know he's not coming back anytime soon "

So she's inviting him
Great...yipee...I'm so excited I can't wait
I mentally face palm

" you guys have barely spoken a complete sentence to each other "
Halima spoke looking somewhat annoyed at our situation

"We both said hello " I said trying to defend myself

"And i asked her how she was " he also said looking at her

" well it appears that I have to go grocery shopping "
Is she serious ? She's doing it intentionally just so we get to talk

After halima left

Seconds turned to minutes
Minutes turned to an hour and half

And then the unbelievable happened

"............are you serious "

Haneef was laughing so much by this time after I told him about aunt layla and my cousins and how can I forget rukkayah

"Yep...tottaly am "
I answered

" well , you're not the only one with family drama to be honest , we also do . And that is why umma and halima are better off here "

And that's how we talked till I came to realise that thier dad was actually dead
I felt so bad for them , they are lucky to have someone like haneef that is running the company for the family

The way he talked about his dad , it seemed as tho they were really close

I started to wish abbu could be the same

"Well , halima would be so proud of us if she knows how much we talked "
He said while we both laughed
He was walking me back to my dorm , it was late already

"So...I guess this is goodbye and goodnight " he said while taking a halt at the entrance of the dorm

" yes, both "

"It was nice talking to you grumpy" I added while smiling

"Yes and it was nice talking to you four eyes "
Oh that name
I internally chuckle remembering the scene I caused the day we met

And that's how he waved and walked away and I was just standing there like I was glued to that same position

................................

"I hate chemistry "
" I just hate it "
"I always have and always will"

So we've been trying to study after halima munching on a pack of pizza and promising she'd read after which leaves me asking why she doesn't want to study and she gives me this reason
