CHAPTER 12: FATE

Suhad waited as Prince Aamir and Kamal joined the video call through Skype. He leaned back on the headboard and placed his laptop on his lap. A few seconds later the screen displayed Kamal whom seemed to be in the same position as Suhad in his room while Prince sat on a chaise lounge with a seemingly sleeping Rahma on his chest while he strokes her hair.

"Yo!"

"Sup"

"Dude"

Each threw in their greeting before setting the pleasantries aside as they had more important things at hand.

"So what's the information you said you have?" Prince was the first to ask Kamal; his tone holding his usual assertiveness. To him, Kamal is just an Agent he hired to find his so called father in law so he isn't as close to Kamal as Suhad is----therefore, sees no reason to be all friendly with him.

"Her" Kamal's screen displayed the picture of the woman which he got from the CCTV the other day.

Suhad watched the picture clearly as Aamir does the same; the two friends studying the face of the woman.

"The face is blurry, I can't make out her features" Prince stated still watching the picture.

"Same thing" Said Suhad.

Kamal sighed, "I know but doesn't her face ring a bell? Does it look familiar to either of you?" he asked the picture still on display.

The two men shook their heads making Kamal sigh again.

"Do you think Jabeer has something to do with this?" Suhad asked.

"I don't think so. Nothing relates him to Jannah" Prince stated as a matter of fact which seemed like a reasonable answer considering he's after Daihaah and not Jannah so why would he do that to ruin Jannah's reputation. It makes no sense; the guy probably doesn't even know Jannah-they all thought.

"Yes but if there's anything we know about Jabeer is that he knows things we don't and we underestimate him a lot" Kamal said after a few minutes of silence.

"Yeah well he better not think of getting Jannah involved in this" Suhad grumbled out his eyes squinting slightly.

"Dude..."

"No, I mean it Aamir! She better not get stuck in the middle of this" he cuts Prince Aamir making Aamir keep quiet. The one person in Aamir's life that he doesn't dare mess with when challenged is Suhad. Aamir's stubborn and doesn't bend down for anyone but Suhad's a different case that he doesn't want to get entangled with.

"Relax..." Prince Aamir said wanting to calm Suhad down before he goes in full rage mode. "She won't" he knew his friend is in love with the girl but he never understood the extent of it. It's a bit hard to believe that his goofy friend that never takes anything serious is the one acting all protective over a girl that doesn't care about him. If you ask him, she's not worth it. But then again, who is he to speak when he himself had his own fair share of Daihaah who's like Jannah too.

Suhad closed his eyes momentarily before looking at the picture of the woman again, this time more closely, "The woman isn't even a Nigerian" he said out of the blue making the two other perk their eyes up.

"What?" Prince asked wanting his friend to elaborate.

"Look" Suhad zoomed the picture making it a close up of her blurry face, "Her eyes..." he pointed to it, "They're green"

"She could be wearing lenses" Kamal reasoned but he knew that wasn't the case.

"Why would she bother to wear green contact lenses?" Suhad asked just to prove that Kamal's supposed theory doesn't make much sense, "And look" he pointed to the locks of her hair that rested on her shoulder, "Blonde" he said, "How many green eyed blondes do we have in Nigeria?" it was a rhetorical question and they all knew it.
