Faryah

13.

------------ Los Angeles, California

-------------------- Same morning( Olyster residence)

I made sure the hot water ran all through my body parts. Thank goodness we were occupied with Faryah, no one noticed my bandaged hand. I got out of the shower and tied a towel round my waist. I took my dryer from the shelf, dried and styled. I used my body lotion and used my antiperspirant. I used disinfectant on my knuckles, it was healing, I didn't need a bandage anymore. I took out a grey blazer and black pants, with a black body hug shirt. I put them on and wore my socks, shoes and watch. I put my phone in my right pant pocket and looked at the mirror. I knew I was a very handsome man, I took most of my features from my mother, others from my father.

My father. I didn't want to think about him now. I walked out of my room and passed by Faryah's. I unbelievably missed her. I rarely talked to her but I missed her. The time we spent together yesterday morning made me feel like I've known her for months. I walked down the stairs and found everyone eating breakfast, Sandra was here. Neill's girlfriend.

" Good morning Brother-in-law" She chirped as she got up from her seat to give me a light hug. Sandra was a Black American. She was beautiful, very, I always loved the way she made her hair, she either curled them up or braided them. She was skinny, she had this perfect small chin and a graceful smile. She also had a pretty great fashion sense, she was about to graduate from CALU. She was visiting LA, no wonder she was here, with her Neill Bunny. I loved teasing him with that name. " Sandy" I answered as I hugged her back.

" How are you feeling now Khalid?" Mother asked as I sat beside Sandra. " I'm okay" I answered bluntly. " I heard your wife was in the hospital, I am so sorry" she said and I gave her a small smile. " Khalid, I need you to get your mind off Faryah for a little while, gather the heads of all departments today and start the Launch ideas, three months is getting close" Brandon said and I nodded. At least something was going to keep me busy. " I don't have much classes today, when I'm done, I'll go and see Faryah" Sophia said as I put some sausages on my plate. " Good, Anna is with her currently, I really hope she wakes up soon, we need to Identify the culprit and his motive" Mother said again. " Khalid, I almost forgot, I talked to Musa, he said that Faryah was in a car accident when she was 6, that led to her amnesia and muteness" GrandPa said. Something was wrong. I felt something was off. " The doctor said she was traumatised, that was what led to her muteness" I answered back as I dropped my butter knife. "Grandpa, something happened to Faryah that they aren't telling us about" I said again. " It is possible but I trust Musa, he is speaking the truth" GrandPa said and I didn't want to argue. I was going to look into it myself. " Fine GrandPa".

" notify the heads of all departments, we're having a meeting in the next two hours okay" I said to my secretary immediately I got to my office floor. " Got that sir" she said as I walked into my office. I closed the door and went to my desk. There were just five contracts I needed to sign on the development of our new branch in China. I had to think of Ideas for our Launch, we needed models of all kinds, fat models, slim and sexy models, skinny models, tall models , petite, black skinned, fair skinned, We needed models from each part of the world, We needed Asian, African, American, and the likes, so that we could show to them that our fabric fits with everybody, black or white, tall or short and Fat or slim. I was going to take care of that, we needed a 100 models for this. And our budget on them should be a 50 million dollars. It wasn't a big deal for us. I needed to plan a good budget, Brandon wanted a grand Launch, Paparazzi and Journalists. We needed approximately 200 million dollars for everything. We were definitely going to get more than 200 million back from the fabric sales. I turned my laptop on to prepare a report for all the heads, their budget to make things work. The advertising department was going to cost more, the general public needed to be aware and I knew some artists and actress had to be present. It was going to be like one of those EMA awards. It was only a Launch, big and catchy.
