Becoming His Zawjat

The call

I walked into my office and closed the door with trembling hands...
Well my hands tremble anytime am curious about something...

I kept walking to and fro in my office and sipping my coffee...
I need to know about his business before giving him the documents...

I picked up my phone and dial his number...
"hey" I said when he finally picked up after the third ring since he wouldn't answer the Tesleem...

"Who is on the line" a deep masculine husky voice came replying which made me hold my breath...
I've forgotten the effect of talking to a non-mahram on the phone... Buh this is just business right...

"Aisha Satis... The CEO of Brains Co. " I said smiling..

"And how may I help you" he replied which didn't surprise me all he needed  was the building and he's gotten it...

" since it can't be said in public... How about we say it in private"
... Right over the phone" I added quickly..

" Well why are you so inquisitive about my type of business miss...  It isn't yours" he replied sounding frustrated..

" Because I'm your business partner and planner...  If you're are not comfortable with Me knowing it then....." I said not even sure of what I might do...
" Then what?  Sue me or what...Do your worst" he said almost shouting angrily...

" Well I will have to reverse the transfer but truth be told you can't get to buy any other building as comfortable and spacious for that dangerous business of yours" I said ending the call...

I smiled because of his reaction he couldn't say any more word...

I stared at my phone and saw his number on my screen...
I intentionally didn't pick up until the third time...
"Yes? "... I said to the receiver...
" Salam... This is Husein" I heard him say..   I swear down on earth I was shocked...
"Are you there?" his voice jolted me out of my trance...

"Walayekum salam... How may I  help you" I replied pretending not to be surprised...

" Well the thing is I'm a drug dealer... I have been in this job since I was 10.. I'm a lonely orphan who never saw his parents... I lived on the street until I came across a young boy of my age...  We both steal food to eat....  ." he went on and on explaining how he became what he was "A drug dealer"....

I felt for him...  And prayed immediately in my heart for Allah to change him... For if he knew what he's doing was Haram he wouldn't have engaged in it...

"okay are you ready to sign the agreement with me..  And I will be your official business partner and planner??" I said after listening to his explanations
"Yes ma'am... But please I don't want any extreme halal stuff beside me" he replied...

I thought he wanted to change...
Well changing him is not a day task...
"Fine let's meet by 5... I will bring the papers over... Lateness isn't allowed" I said gesturing at my secretary to come in after she peeped to check my presence...
" Says a lady who was 10mins late today" he said with a soft voice which made me smile...

"What was I just caught doing?
Smiling at my phone?
Subuhanallah a non-mahram for Allah's sake Aish'..." I said to myself  saying Istigfar in my mind. ...

"Here is the file for Gutos furniture..." Sakeenah my secretary said handing the file to me...

"okay..   Confirm the payment of Ahmad Umar Husein... And draw out a record of his payment... It's per annum..." I said and before she could leave I stopped her again...
" Cancel my appointment and meetings for 5" I said typing the agreement...

"But Ma'am" she said turning around...

"But what Keenah? " I replied shortening her name...

"Lavatos Co.  has a meeting scheduled with you by 5 ma'am...  And you know we can't cancel it..   If we do then  the company's  image will be shaded because this is their first meeting with us this month ma'am" She said words that sounded like a bombshell....

I stared at her for minutes thinking...
"okay fine I will attend it" I said after some minutes....

What about my meeting with Umar Husein at 5?....
I dialed his number but it was off....

"hi..  I'm sorry I won't be able to make it to the meeting..." I sent it to him though his line was not available
