"Rukky there's a man looking for you at the door"my roommate screamed

"Tell him to hold on" I said from the mini kitchen in our apartment

"My hijab,my hijab, my hijab"i sang the mantra
"Got you"I pick it from my school bag then walked to the door.

"Muneer" I said shocked

"Hey" he waved "my wife doesn't want to come home"

"I...I...I totally forgot"I face palmed

"Did you get your pay check?"he asked

"Yes,I did"i looked down
"I think you paid all the debts and thank you" I looked up at him, his blue eyes met mine and he smiled it looked honest.

"Well I think its time for us to go home"

"Am not done packing"i looked down again

"I would wait and by the way am throwing a dinner for you I think your friends and family could come to celebrate your success"

"Don't stress yourself, I only have one friend and he's busy ,Well my family arent here"

"Owh...are you such you are okay?"

"Yeah"I was silent "if you want it to be done with your family and friends then am good with it, I would try reaching to him" I gave him a straight smile

"Trust me this isnt going to be your worst mistake"

"Have a seat let me finish packing" I offered him a chair "are you thirsty?"

"No am good" he said daisy kept staring at us

"Okay"then I went back to packing my things.

I put on my favorite brown coat because of the breezy weather outside and smiled at him while he asked his bodyguards to take my luggages to the car.

"Shall we?"he asked offering his hand out to me

"Yes"and I gave him my hands

"You look glumly"

"Me"I held my hand to my chest "no am not, am usually like this"

"See,am your new friend,roommate,boyfriend if that's inclusive you are free to tell me anything trust me"Muneer offered

I just smiled "it's nothing"

"Is it about your mum?"

My eyes became wide at me hearing what he said "what did you just say and how did you know?"

"I have my ways"he said the table turned" but try saying something when it's bothering you"

"Is it always worth saying?" I asked him and released a breathe

"Yeah it is"he held my hands then I pulled away he asked the driver to halt the car and so the rest did then came down of the car and collected the keys "come on let me show you somewhere"
