A day after forever.

chapter 21

"Hello baby mama," Sultana hugged Hal.

"Hope you both are as fit as fiddles?" "Very well Susu, I am just drained out of my energy."

"Sorry about that, you have to bear it."
"I know right."

A waiter presented them with a large cake, on it was written congratulations maama, Hal.

Hal's eyes started to water already.

"I can't believe this, this is so nice of you, thanks susu, a gazillion kisses for you."

"I think I like pregnant Hal better, stop crying and cut your cake." Sultana teased.

"So what inspired you to bake me a cake?" Hal licked the whipped cream off the cake.

"Sultan did, and he suggested that we do this for our customers if they came with their wife, children, sister to surprise them on their special occasions and also gift special dishes."

"This is a nice initiative, it will boost our customers, I have to say sultan brought a relevant idea." speaking of Sultan, her thoughts delved back to what happened last night.

"He is your ex, so what was he doing in the mall in the same place you were." Sultan grimaced.

"What kind of question is that? I met him there, you don't expect me to know the whereabouts of people."

He didn't say a word, he looked away.
she inched closer to him.
"You have my heart Sultan, you are only mine, and you know that." 

He looked into her mesmerising eyes and saw the truth in her words.  He smiled, as sweet emotions jarred in his heart, but he did not show it physically.

He did not like the idea of having any other guy around her, from the way he saw Anwar that day he didn't like his energy.
"Okay, Sultana."  was all he said and walked past her and picked his laptop bag from his bed.

He left Sultana dumbstruck. She had played her part, if he liked he should fly, she couldn't give a damn for all he cared.

Sultan on the other hand could not concentrate on his work, Sultana was clouded in his thoughts. It ached him to call her but he decided it was best to go to her workplace and apologize for being such a borderline dead moron... He was jealous, Sultana was his only his. His alone.

"Ya Sultana," Ilham said in awe. When Sultana turned around she did not expect to see Anwar's sister.

"My God Ilham it's good to see you again."

"Wow, me too." They hugged each other. "How long have you been in town?" Sultana asked.

"Six months ago." Nice do you come to this area often?" No, but ever since I discovered this
the restaurant I come here to very often is my fave restaurant  in town."

"You don't mean it, how is everybody at home, how is mum?" Sultana asked.

"Everyone is fine except Anwar, he was gloomy throughout yesterday I don't know why."

"That is so sad, I hope he is fine, cause we met yesterday."  "No wonder he was down but he was supposed to be happy seeing you yeah?"  Sultana shrugged her shoulders.

"And speaking of mum, she is in the car, I am sure she would be pleased to see you."  Sultana smiled.

"You don't have to pay Ilham." Ilham chortled, "Why is that? you want me to wash all the plates here abi?" She teased.
