"Sir, I'll be through with my exams a day after tomorrow and the hostel will be empty, if you don't mind kind I stay in the rooms outside" she asked with the hope that he will say yes, it took a while for him to answer "it's not safe, you should stay in the guest room upstairs" he said sternly and walked away.
The room feels foreign to her, the soft bed, the air condition, the big chandelier dangling above, all this things are things she only see on TV are now what she sees in reality,
She unpacked her things into the drawers, kept her 60 hizib Qur'an on the bed side drawer that was adjacent to be bed, and entered the toilet to perform ablution, she prayed two rakat and pray that Allah protects her, she knows that staying with a man is against the teachings of her deen but she has no option, she doesn't want to jeopardize her education, that's why she's not going home, because she doesn't know what fate awaits her in that village.
A knock on the door startled her, she didn't answer, the second knock came with Imran's voice asking if she's asleep
"I'm coming" she said
"Can you make tea?" I have headache, he rubbed his temple
"Okay" she walked to the kitchen to prepare some turmeric and Ginger tea for him
After she was done she took the tray of tea with some pills to the living room upstairs and rang his phone, he was out immediately with his laptop on his hands, it seems like he's working
He sat on the L shaped three sitter and begin sipping the tea
"Is there anything else" she asked
"Wani abu kike yi?, if not let's chat"
Chat with him, what could She say to this heartless hot tempered guy, she scolded herself after the thoughts, at least he gave her a place to lay her head so she can't call him heartless
"Okay" she sat on the ground
"Sit up, you've helped me alot this few days you don't have to be very formal" he said taking another sip of his tea
They talked about life, hopes dreams, they joked and Jidda realized Imran is not the guy she thought he is, he is soft and has this kind demeanor which was soothing
She yawned and rubbed her eyes and instantly he got the message that she was feeling sleepy,
"Go and sleep, now that you're here make breakfast in the morning, I leave for work at 9am, I want food before I leave" he stated of course she's the maid, she has to do all that
"Okay sir" she said and stood up to leave for her new beautiful room.

Her alarm waked her up for fajr, After she prayed, she went downstairs to cook for Imran
After he left for work, she brought out some textbooks that she borrowed from a senior who happened to be Zainab's new found lover and started reading
Salam jidda da fatar kina lfy? I am back, you can come to the clinic by 10am she got a text message from Dr Nasir
Wslm sir, I'll be there InshaAllah she replied and rush to the bathroom to get dressed

After taking all the necessary tests Dr Nasir offered to drop her home because he was going out.
His car was the latest BMW 2018, black in color, she doesn't know much about cars but she loved his car and it smells so good something like vanilla and melon.
The ride was very silent until Dr Nasir decide to ask her "you stay in this town? I thought you are not from here" he asked
"Yes sir, I'm not from here, I just work here" she answered
"Sir, are you the Dr on 'I remember me' program that aired somewhat last year, around April?" She asked hoping he'd say yes he is the one
"Why did you ask" he smirked
"That person is my role model, I wish to meet him" she said
"Okay" he answered and smiled
"There's always more than what meet the eyes or ears you know" he shrugged
"My dad wanted me to become a doctor just like you" she smiled
"Your mom and dad must be proud" he commented and she nodded her head, she don't know about her mom but surely her dad is proud
"That house straight left" she pointed at Imran's house
He was very very shocked after reaching the gate "you live here?" He asked
"Yes sir"
"I know your boss" he said sternly
"Will you say hi" she asked
"No"
She thanked him and got inside the house
Dr Nasir
This girl is living with Imran, that gold digger, he has no respect for humanity, how can she be working for such person, only God knows how he treats her.
