All The Way From Home

chapter 17

"This food is really delicious "
It's finally weekend and I'm at halimas place , its been two hours but it feels like I've had endless supply of mindblowing food of an eternity

Her mum is a really nice person
She told me how she's been looking forward to meet me and shed like to talk to my mum too

"Oh thank you dear , its nothing "
Halimas mum said as she gave me a warm smile

"Umma , we are out of biscuits in this house "
Halima walks into the dinning with a pack of biscuits which I assume to be Fox cookies
British and American
British call it biscuits and Americans cookies .....who even made all these stuffs up

"Off course we'll be out of it , when we have someone like you in the house "
Halimas mum replied

Well halima is really a junky

"So firdaus where are you from ? "
Halimas mum asks while keeping the glass of water she gulped

"I'm from maiduguri but I'm shuwa"
I reply

"Ah..I see , I suspected so when you said maiduguri"
" so you speak ? "

She asks while standing up to take her plate to the dishwasher but halima swiftly collects and does the job

Impressive

"Yes I do speak"

And that's how dinner ended living me and halima in her room watching a movie

"You can go rot in hell "

We were watching this movie called " the possible " when Ian somelhader said this to halimas favourite actress
Nina dobrev and that's how halima got so emotional on this

"How is that even possible ?"
She whisper yelled while standing up from her previous watching position

"It's just a movie "
This girl won't kill me

"No...after all that happend hes telling her to go to hell? "
This time she was already having her face of something being really unbelievable

"And its Nina "
She adds again

"Yes I know "
I started to laugh and then got a glare from her

"Fine..fine ..I'll stop "
I retreated before she kills me with a pillow while I'm asleep

"I'm also joking "
She says and we both laugh

"I'm thirsty...can I get a glass of water ?"
I have this habit of drinking water a lot

"No...you won't and can't "
Ok...Is She serious ?

"Do you even have to ask ? It's right down in the fridge "

Oh...she's those type of people who already thinks you're at home in their house
Well..that's a nice gesture

I just smile ..stood up and walked towards the door

Passing through the corridor on my way downstairs, I saw this room open which I assume to be haneefs room
For a guy I must say it looks outstanding
It just screams his personality
The curtains , the room arrangement , the bed.....

He looks like this guy that appreciates orderliness and for the curtains..they are grey and I think for his very masculine grumpy behaviour
Grey fits

I just realised some part of me might want to see him , we had a nice time the day halima faked grocery shopping

And i ended my peeking session and strode down to go get my glass of water

"I'm back "
I Declare to halima with a glass of water in my hand while she was busy typing something on her phone
She looks too concentrated , and I know that from her brows . It's like its a family thing..they have thick beautiful brows

"Oh you got it...but are you sure that's the only thing you did ? Get a glass of water ? I mean that was way too long "
What is she saying now ?

"Off course that was all "
I sit and keep the glass on the bedside table

"Well...I might have seen someone peeking into haneefs room "
Oh no, she saw me

"Look , I can ex.....

"No need sweetheart..no need "
She cuts me off

I'm sure she's loving this
Why did I have to look into his room ? It was something I did for a minute but it's consequences from halima would last a lifetime

"Now..I want you to tell me how you really feel about him "
Is she serious?

"Hali....

"And dont even say nothing "
What's with this girl and cutting off what I'm about to say?

"Fine...I kind of want to see him "
I hope my little confession won't lead to me not sleeping this night
She can talk about this all day

"I knew it "
The smile on her face while she said this was as if she discovered that atom had neutron,proton and electron

I just laughed and we continued to talk , mostly halima telling me stories about haneefs childhood and how he was a bully but at the same time sweet

That meanie

And that's how we finally dozed off

Haneefs pov

It has been a long tiring day at the office and Maher is now back
I hope he doesn't screw up this time

I take a file on my desk and put it inside a drawer then relax a little on my office chair

Knock knock

"Yes , come in "
I look directly at the door to see who it is

It's my secretary

"Sir , you called "
I called ? I don't remember calling her
And i think its all an act because I know her and wanting attention from me

"No , I didn't "
I simply say hoping she'll leave
But she didn't

"Okay sir , if you need anything ill be there "
She said while walking towards the door and I was waiting to hear the door being shut while my eyes where fixed on the computer screen

She then finally leaves and shuts the door
I wonder what her problem is

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

I was finally at home eating dinner ,I'm so exhausted

I got to the fridge and got some orange juice and sat down on a stool near the kitchen counter
Just then my phone beeped

Notification from halima

Let me see what she has to say now

"Here is something I thought you'd need ...I hope you'd use it wisely....
***********"
She sent me a number and I don't even have to ask I know its firdaus's number

I'm not sure if talking to her is a good idea but this message appears to have been sent yesterday
I just didn't have my mobile network switched on

Well...saying hi wouldn't hurt
I actually am happy, halima can be annoying but she figured me out just right this time
