Chapter fifteen

         Bahijjat's your phone is ringing. Ummi said while doing yoga.

When did you start with this nonsense now?

It's yoga and It's very good for the health, instead of picking up your phone, you were busy blabbering, now see your life it's a missed call.

Bahijjat's phone rings again.

Pick up your phone before it becomes a missed call again, I'm not moving an inch until I'm done with my yoga practice.

  She picks up her Phone And The Caller Is None other than Mukhtar.

Hello Mukhtar, how are you?

I'm fine and you?

Same, Bahijjat replied politely which is obvious she's pretending.

Well Bahijjat I'd like to meet you right now.

Sorry I'm very busy Mukhtar, besides it's very early so it's not possible to meet now.

Please It's very important, it's regarding that detective you both demanded for, infact I'm outside your house as we speak.

Wow so fast, look don't come in now because Ummi's father might get suspicious if you come to my house this early morning and you know he might have spies around my house, I'm sure his men are keeping an eye on Ummi right now.

Ok so what do we do right now?

We'll meet after school,and thanks Mukhtar i really appreciate your effort.

You are welcome.

Finally I'm done with my yoga. Ummi said with relief.

To heck with yoga! I have a very good news for you.

What's it? Ummi asked giving her a puzzled look.

Mukhtar found us a detective.

Was that what you were both talking on the phone?

Yes. Bahijjat replied in excitement

Well, I don't know why I'm feeling bad about it...what if the detective turns out to be a disadvantage to us. Ummi said in a worried tone.

Well after school we can talk to Mukhtar about it.

After school was over, the first thing Bahijjat did was call up Mukhtar because she has this old habit of sneaking her phone into the school which is prohibited to bring phones to school, and as for Mukhtar he was so delighted to pick up her call immediately, it was as if he was holding his phone on his hand and waiting for her to call him, coz it probably took him a sec to pick up.

Hello Bahijjat, where are you?

I'm on my way home, I want you to get there before me, so that when I get home I'll just pray and we'll start with the discussion as soon as possible.

No problem, I'll do that right away dear.

Okay. replied Bahijjat.

When they got home they followed the back door, the first thing they did was pray and without changing their school uniforms, they immediately headed to Mukhtar who was sitting at the parlour with the detective, they were both having cookies with Orange juice which was served by one of the maids.

Good afternoon ladies, this is my cousin and the detective who'll be working for us, his name is Ali Umar, he's very good at his work.

Nice to meet you Ali Umar, i'm Bahijjat and this is my bestfriend Ummi.
