Rahama went through sadiq's CV over and over again. She was surprise that a mechanic like him was academically good. Who would have thought.
She kept her face neutral as she busied herself checking, she doesn't want him to know that she was really pleased with his qualifications.When she was done, she raised her eyes to meet his.
" so? " asked sadiq like someone who was expecting her to say no ,since he knew how she hated him
She glares at him " how sure am I that these papers are not fake. People like you shouldn't be trusted after all. "
Sadiq raise his brows at her waiting for her to finish talking.
" firstly, your university certificate states that you finished from London university. I mean, how can a lowlife like you even afford to go to a university like that. Let's not forget that, that particular university which you claim you finished from is a school were children of millionaires go to not a mechanic like you " she looked at him accusingly
" so now tell me Mr Muhammad sadiq, how were you able to afford such a university? "
Sadiq chuckled " now I can see that you're totally stupid to the core. You lack no manners, you just blurt out whatever you feel like just because you're in a high position . Who do you think you're to question my integrity?. If you are not blind, isn't that particular signature and stamp below the certificate serve as a prove that I finished from the said university? " he glares at a shock rahama.
" you asked where I got the money to sponsor myself right? Now I'll tell you. I stole the money" he said firmly almost scaring her.
He knew that was what she wants to hear.
She pointed at him shakily " I knew it, I knew you are a thief all along . My instincts were right. Get out of my office, get out"
He already expect this behavior from her.
He shrugged " with great privilege spoilt brat " he gathered his documents in his hand and stood up like someone who was about to go but decided against it. He walks directly to where she was sat .
Rahama was already getting scared with this behavior of his. " don't touch me, I said get out" she yelled
He drag her seat closer to him and bend down a little beat to meet her eyes.
" you don't know who you're messing with. I'll make sure you eat all your harsh words, I promise you. " he looked directly into her eyes
"You don't deserve to be Alhaji Dabo's daughter and I'm sure your dad isn't happy with this behavior of yours " he slightly squeezed her cheeks
She was shaking in anger " GET OUT"
Sadiq snickered " what if I don't? " he asked challenging her.
" I will_I'll_just get out" she stuttered
" is the big madam scared and here I thought you don't get scared of anything " he move back and took his documents
" Anyways, till we meet again" he salute and left.
She took the first thing her hand could grabbed and threw it immediately at the door. She didn't miss Sadiq's laugh from outside. She missed the hit
" I hate him, I hate him, I hate him " she kept muttering as she hit her palm on the table " I hate him"
" who does he think he is, how dear that thing." she just couldn't believe that she got insulted not to talk of by a mere mechanic man. With just a click of finger she will end him.
I knew that document were fake, if I had known earlier I would have contacted the police ,she thought to herself
" a whole me" she pointed at herself "that thing "she pointed at the door
She was busy thinking about what just happened that she didn't know that her phone was vibrating close to her. The phone vibrated again but this time she saw it on time and quickly pick it up.
Dad,it read
" hello daddy" she chirped in
" I have been calling your number. Where did you keep it?"
" oh, it was on silent dad. "
" OK . Hope you remember that I request to see you after the interview "
" yes daddy, I'm on my way to your office already "
"OK then"
They both hanged up. She quickly walk out of her office to her dad's office.

Jafar happily reached home eager to tell sadiq his own good news. He paid the tricycle man money for his service. Because of how happy he was, he told the man to leave the change.
" Nagode oga, Nagode(thank you oga)"
" bakomai ( it's nothing )" said jafar as he made his way to their compound.
He open the door to their room with his own key.
"Assalamu'alaikum " jafar said his entry greeting and entered but got no reply. He look towards the bed and saw why his greetings wasn't answered.
Sadiq was sleeping without a care in the world.Jafar shakes his head at how sadiq was sprawled on the bed.
Maybe he got tired of waiting for me in other to tell me his own good news , jafar thought to himself.
Anyways I will wake him up whether he likes it or not , he said to himself.
He changed his clothes into a new one. After that he turn towards the bed thinking of how to wake sadiq.
Should I jump on him? Or I should pour water on him? ,
He chose the latter. He went to fetch water from the jug and walk-up straight to him. He didn't do it gently, instead he empty all the water at once on a sleeping sadiq
" innalillahi wa inna ilaihi rajihun" shouted sadiq from sleep. He sat upright and wipe the water from his face.He look up only to see a laughing jafar towering over him.
" I wish I had video your reaction . It was priceless" laughed out jafar.
Sadiq was fuming ,he can't believe jafar just pull this crazy stunt on him. Only for him to come home to rest after what happened at his interview with that spoilt brat and now this is what he was woken up with.
Don't they want me to have peace of mind?, he thought
He look at a now calm Jafar " I can see you've done laughing. I really don't like what you did, it's childish man"
Jafar notice something about his friend so he quickly sobered up. This reaction of sadiq always happens whenever he wasn't happy. Definitely something is wrong.
Sadiq angrily came down from bed to change out of his now wet clothes. He avoided jafar at all cost .
" OK I'm sorry" Jafar apologize " I don't get why you're angry over this. This isn't the first time we've been pulling this kind of stunt on each other. Please tell me what is the matter "
Sadiq sigh and sat on their queen size bed " I'm sorry for snapping at you. It just, you won't believe how my interview went "
A confuse jafar sat down too " what happened? "
" I think I'm definitely going to live a miserable life because I don't get why I'm not offered a job at all companies I applied to. This last one really upset me" he felt bad for himself
" what do you mean by" the last one upset you'"
Sadiq snickered remembering the spoilt brat angry face " well, that company belongs to the father of the same rich girl I once told you about"
" what!" a surprise jafar shouted
" yes, you heard right. Her dad owns the company and she was the one who took the interview. I'm sure you already know how it will end"
Jafar felt bad for him " I'm sorry. But your credentials were OK, what did she say was the problem? "
