HEELS--8

I came down slowly placing my hand on my mouth yawning as I walked to the kitchen. I was very thirsty, my throat felt like sand paper. I grabbed the water and pour it in a cup before gulping everything down. Closing the fridge, I turn back to leave when the light from the study stopped me.

"Abba? I called out walking towards him

He raised his head to meet mine "Humaira it's 2am in the morning. What are you doing?

"I was thirsty" I sat next to him and looked at the sketches in front of him "what are you doing?

He looked away from me back to the sketch pad in front of him

"Ohh this, I have been sketching and planning about the company. I wasn't sleepy so I decided to do that"

"Can I see it?

He moved the pad to me and my eyes surveyed it

"It's really beautiful" I whispered "Formal with minimalistic touch"

"It is" Abba nodded looking at it

"I can help with some recipes. You know I make amazing juices both traditional and modern" I mused and he smiled

"Yes I do. And we will use your recipes later on. When the market is high" He replied winking and I nodded.

"But Abba" I cocked my head to the side "Will it take time to complete it?

"No it won't. The investors doesn't want us to spend much time on building it" He sighed and closed the pad "The one thing I'm taking time to refine is the recipes.

I reached out to his hands "I know it will be the best. Everything will work out just fine. The only problem is workers, finding a faithful one is kind of hard"

"It is" He nodded removing his eye glasses " But I will be employing my two brothers and some faithful acquaintances as the heads of my governing board. They will never betray me" He finished off standing up

Not wanting to say anything, I nodded as I switched off the study light and trailed behind him.

"Goodnight Indo" He smiled and I smiled back

"Goodnight Abba"

"It is not fair" I said laughing hearing his own laugh on the other line

I came to school early today because I had 8am classes. When we were done, I came to the cafeteria to have something when Hafeez's call entered. We had a bet, I said Inti will be out of class first and he said Yusrah will. Whoever looses have to do something for the other person.

"It is. If you loose you will make me something and if I loose I will take you out"

"I know you will demand something difficult to make"

"So? You are a good cook"

"Good cook" I scoffed rolling my eyes " I'm not"

"You are"

"I'm not"

"You are"

"Humaira" The voice of one of my friends interrupted my reply and I groaned

Why does he have to win?

"Why are you here Yusrah? I snapped and heard hafeez's chuckle

"What do you mean? I'm here to eat" Yusrah muttered rolling her eyes and taking a seat opposite me

"Where's Inti? I asked as she looked back at me

"On my head" She glared at me and added "Obviously, I don't know"
