CHAPTER 62

Enjoy your day guys!!

There was a young lady in the kitchen wearing a maid's uniform and she was one of the maids in Iqmat's house and she was the one in charge of the kitchen and cooking of meals. The young maid dropped the towel in her hand on the table that she was cleaning, as she heard Iqmat called her loudly from the living room.

She on the tap, quickly washed her hand and off the tap back; she cleaned her hand with a white towel hanged on a small hanger in the kitchen and going out to reply to her call.

"I heard your call Ma!" She said with respect as she came down to the living room; Iqmat was sitting on the chair at the living room and watching her favorite program as usual.

"What are you cooking for us? I have been feeling hungry, maybe you should cook something light for me" She said with low voice.

"I am sorry Ma, it will soon be ready in fifteen minutes" She replied with low voice.

"Maybe you should get me cake or any snacks to eat before that your fifteen minute---"She was talking when her phone started ringing.

"As you said Ma!" She did sign to the maid telling her to go as she wanted to pick the call; the maid turned back and going back to the kitchen.

"Hello spoiled brat! How are you doing? Look at you, just enjoying yourself" It was Suleiman that called and doing video call with.

"Hi my sis! I am good and you too Ma?" Asked with smile on his face.

"I am good! I can see you remember me today, it has been more than two months that we talk last. Even where are you that makes you to dress like this?"

"I am planning to go for an event soon, so I just decided to call you today and to greet you in advance. I see that your wedding is in a month now" The maid got there, put the cake and a glass of juice on a stool and moved it closed to her.

"For you to call now and greeting me in advance that mean you are not coming home?" Iqmat said and carried the cake closed.

"I can't Sis but I will surely send my gift" He smiled.

"There is important thing to tell you. Start planning of how you will come home"

"Why? I have built my stay here, so nothing to come home for"

"Father has want to retire as the CEO so he need you to come and take over as the new CEO"

"But you are there now, you are educated and know about business very well. I don't even think I can remember all that again, I am building my talent here so I am not coming home" Iqmat's mother stopped climbing the staircase as she heard their conversations and looking at Iqmat.

"Which music career are you building self? Do you want the post to be empty or an outsider should take over the company. You have to come home and start preparing yourself from now"

"Why did you take this thing personal sis?" He said with low voice.

"So for father to stop putting unnecessary pressures on me, so call him and let him know that you are coming home"

"No Sis! I am not coming home. You are the one in Nigeria and also after the wedding you are going to be in Nigeria, so why are you calling me to come home? If you are not in Nigeria now that its other country you are with your husband, I can come home then but not when you are in Nigeria and your husband too is in Nigeria" He took a breath.

"I know what I have built here so I can't come home" He said with loud voice.

"I have my own plan too after the wedding and accepting the post now won't let it be accomplished"

"Let see how it goes but you there now Sis why don't you want to? Let see----"

"Are you for real Iqmat? So you really mean what you told your father" Her mother said as she got down from the staircase and walking closer to her.

"Is that Mom? I just heard her voice" Suleiman asked.

"Yes she is one! Can I call you back please" She said with low voice and hanged up from the call.

"So you really mean it that you are not ready to take the post of the CEO, you just don't want to do anything" Her mother said with loud voice.

"It's I and Suleiman that are talking now, why are you listening to our conversations Mom?"

"Hmm! You should have block my ears so that I won't hear. Even what plan are you saying that you have after the wedding? I want to hear" Iqmat just frowned her face and didn't say anything.

"Or you think you can confuse Ashar and two of you will travel to Californian. I said what is the plan? I want to know" Iqmat got up and with anger shows all over her.

"No any plan Mom!" She said with loud voice and leaving the living room.

"The wedding is in a month and two weeks now, we are going to know that your plan. I am sitting and watching you and your plan, lazy girl!" looking at Iqmat climbing the staircase with anger, she kissed and going to the kitchen to check on the maid.

Basit was in his father's bedroom, sitting on the small chair there and watching his father eating when he heard a knocked at the door. He got up and going out to open the door, he told his father that was coming and going out. His father had been feeling fine as he had started the medicine and it was now on Saturday's afternoon.

He got down to the living room and walking to the door, he opened the door and saw a young man standing at the entrance, wearing a delivery man's uniform and holding a nylon.

"Good evening! Miss Rodiat ordered for a cloth and she said that we should give it to Basit" The man said with low voice.

"She is my mother, and I am Basit" He said with humbleness.

"Please collect this cloth for her and tell her that we are very sorry for disappointing her and unable to deliver eerily"

"It's fine Sir!" Basit said as he collected the nylon and going inside. Sound of the door closed and going back upstairs.

He opened the door, entered his father's bedroom and closed the door back.

"Who is that? Is it your stepmother or your mother?" His father asked with low voice.

"None of them, it's a man that came to deliver cloth for Mom!" He replied, put the nylon on the table in the bedroom and sat down back. As he sat down, they heard the entrance door opened and closed.

"That could be Mom! She is back from market!" He got up and running out. He and his mother jammed each other on the staircase and Basit hugged his mother; he turned back and they were going to his father's bedroom.

Basit opened the door and two of them entered, his mother closed the door and walked closed to Basit's father. It was pyjamas that she wore to market. The pajamas was so beautiful and also be like an outfit so since she didn't have any cloth to wear, she decided to wear that.

"How are you doing now? I can see you have been eating well now or Basit ate from it?" She said with smile and looking at each other.

"No! He didn't, I ate it. I don't know what happened? I am just eating it and I have the appetite to" Said with low voice.

"You will surely! I cooked it the way they uses to cook it for sick people so there is no way you won't have the appetite to eat it"

"Thank you very much! You are a life saver"

"You are welcome!" She giggles and starring at each other for few seconds.

"Hmm! Okay, has your girlfriend called? Is she coming tonight?" Basit's father felt bad and as she mentioned her, she hadn't call since that day even to just check on him. She didn't do it intentionally but when she had been at work, she didn't use to feel concern of anything or anybody again.

"No! She didn't" He said with low voice.

"Okay! Let me go and prepare some soups, and after that I will be going back home" She said and leaving the bedside.

"Mother! Your cloth is here, just delivered it not quite long" Basit said and holding the nylon.

"Okay! They just have time to deliver it" She said and collected it from his hand. She opened the door and leave the bedroom.

She put the nylon on the chair in the living room and going to the kitchen with the items that she went to the market to get.

She entered into the kitchen, poured the items on the table and started cooking different soups and so that he could eat for some days.

After two hours. Raheem's sister came out from the kitchen and she had done with the cooking. She carried the nylon on the chair, went to an empty room in the living room and to dress up. She came down to the living room after few minutes, wearing the beautiful short gown that she ordered.

She started climbing the staircase and going upstairs. She opened the door and entered Basit's father's bedroom, met him lying on the bed and rest his back on the pillow.

"By tomorrow, you will have get better very well" She said as she started.

"I have cooked different soups for you and they are inside the fridge, so anytime you are hungry just buy a meal from any restaurant and take any type of soup that you want inside the fridge. They are going to last you for a week or even two weeks" He smiled and shows his appreciation.

"So I will take my leave now! Take care of yourself and my son" She said and just took a step when Basit's father held her hand.

"Please! Stay here still tomorrow!" He said with low voice and she turned back.

"Stay here overnight and please, don't say no!" Looking at her.

"Oh! Okay!" She said with low voice and looking at each other.

"Thank you!" Sound of the door opened and Basit entered, just coming from his room.

"Ah! Mom, you have been leaving " He said with low voice and he didn't want her to go.

"She is staying tonight, so she will be going tomorrow" His father replied him.

"Is it true Mom?" He asked with loud voice.

"Wow!" He ran to his mother with smile as she shook her head and his father giggles.
