My Twisted Fate | A Muslim Love Story

Chapter 2

Upon reaching the school premises, the girls stepped out of the car and breathed in the morning scent. Farida glanced around the area like it was her first time there. Newly grown flowers elegantly decorate the pathway to the main door. The grasses were just grazed and their scents linger around as the sprinklers did their work.

Just as the two admired the scene,the mathematics professor walked past them. They shared a look in horror and ran after him, it was their next class and they had to submit their assignments to him before the lecture.

"This is not how I planned to start my day." Farida said in panick. It will be an awkward day.

Everything was the same as the last time sudais visited London. It was nice. Although this time, there are few buildings he thought could need a few adjustments. His taste as a building expert and business tycoon was high and lavish. If he wasn't too busy with the school's renovation and the work on Burj khalifa in Dubai, he would have accepted London's 2017 project for the newly suggested attractions.

Sudais pulled at his tie and loosened it when he felt this unpleasant sensation in his chest, it was as if he was running out of oxygen and sudais looked up to see that the windows have been rolled up

"Martan, please roll down the windows." Sudais requested and frowned, seeing that martan trembled a bit at the sound of his voice.

"Yes sir." Martan answered and did what he was asked quickly. He was thankful that sudais did not take any offence at his forgetfulness. Clearly, he mistook sudais for Afaan. Although there seemed to be a lot of resemblance on their physical appearance, the brothers are two worlds apart. While Afaan loved the windows rolled up so he could enjoy some quiet time and privacy, sudais would rather breath in the fresh air mother nature gives with love and stare outside the windows to see what the world is up to. Afaan is the quiet type while sudais is the social type, making him far more progressive in business terms.

Speaking of business, sudais's mind wandered off to the very reason he was visiting London again. He was to take his father's place in a meeting since father has began to age and is instructed by his doctor to take a break from stress. Sudais was glad his father decided to listen to his doctor for once and allow his children to continue with his legacy as a business tycoon. Looking to his left, sudais glanced at a green file and his heart sank, he couldn't believe he was going to participate in that. He tore his eyes off the reason for his discomfort and looked out the window. They have arrived at the University already, sudais was almost impressed,the traffic wasn't as heavy as he had thought it would be.

Martan hurriedly got off the car and rushed to sudais side to open the door, but he was surprised to find sudais already out and adjusting his tie. Sudais walked towards the entrance of the meeting hall while martan packed sudais's files and followed behind him.

After the meeting, where they talked about how they could make "Bin Rasheed art and business school" the best uni in London and sudais had bunches of ideas, impressing everyone who attended the meeting.

Now it was time for sudais to scan around the area like his father had told him, he had to make sure everything was perfect.

As sudais proceeded to the school premises, he noticed that students were running Helter skelter, perhaps it was exams period, sudais thought but the vice councilor said otherwise.

"The third years will be defending their projects today."

"Is that so?" Sudais asked.

"Yes sir. Would you like to see how the young architect are holding up?" The VC asked, he knew sudais's father had been planning to give job opportunities to the architecture and building design students in their school.

"I would really love to, but I have a very limited time here." Sudais answered as the arrived at the front of the faculty of architecture and building design. Sudais could not help but smile at their destination, beautiful memories of his moments in that same faculty stole his mind away for a while. Gone were those days when he won the student of the year award, not just because his family owned the school but because of his perfect grades,due to his impressive business and architectural lineage. The business had been running in the family for decades, ever since his ancestors used to exist in this world.

The glass door slid open by itself when the sudais set a foot on the threshold and an alluring and captivating scent captured his sense of smell. When Sudais stepped inside, he was glad it was summer, the windows were open and air conditioner was off. Professors greeted him by dozens as he passed and he responded with fascinating sense of humor.

"Where do you want to go sir." The VC asked sudais.

" Everywhere. " Sudais responded and the VC laughed lightly.

The tour around the faculty brought back many memories, but sadly, a lot will change after the renovation.

At mid noon, as sudais was about leaving the school. He had one of the most annoying, yet fascinating experience of his life. Getting into argument with a female student in red and black outfit.

Wait....was that...?

Yes, that's her. Our leading lady who apparently was humiliated by her mathematics professor and decided to get herself in a more sticky situation by arguing with an Arab man she's never seen before. She should have listened to her mom and woken earlier.

It was not how either one of them had planned to spend their day.

How did that happen? Meet me in the next chapter. Don't forget to tap that star.
