Chapter 26

" what!?.......Goodness, she isn't harsh on the twins. She loves them so much that even I myself am surprised at how she loves them. She is free when it comes to them"

He look surprised " really? "

" of course. Even the twins loves her as much.. You will be surprised at how she behaves around them" smile aunty yasira

This is new, wow.

" Don't tell me your mood swing was caused because you thought she was harsh with the kids?"

" well, something like that"

" or, does it have to do with a little bit of jealousy " she wiggled her brows funnily

" what?!......what are you trying to say? "

" Maybe someone is jealous because a particular someone is out on a date with another man" she teased

" Goodness. Will you please stop your unfunny jokes. Don't you think your assumption is damn stupid. How can you even assume that?" he squeeze his face, disgusted at the idea. .

Aunty yasira burst into series of laughter. " you might not have feelings for her now but what about in the future? " she wiggles her brows

He scoff" you're unbelievable "

" on a serious note, do you like her? At least even if it's just a tiny crush " she ask

she just won't stop bothering him

" of course not. I don't have a little, tiny bit of feeling, crush or whatever it is you want me to admit . I feel nothing for her. Am I free now? "

She looked disappointed " I was hoping that you might at least admit that you have a tiny crush on her. Truth be told she is very beautiful and you can't tell me you didn't fall for her whenever she rolls that her killer eyes at you"

" That eyes that looks like that of a masquerade " he smile, remembering how she always shot him a look with her piercing eyes whenever he riled her up. Like how she did when she open the door for him.

Aunty yasira allowed him to reminisce on whatever he was thinking about. She doesn't want to prod . Even if Rahama was rude, aunty Yasira would have loved it if sadiq ends up marrying her. Its going to be fun seeing two enemies fall in love.

It's too late now though, since Mansir will be the one marrying Rahama. So annoying.

" I think it time I leave aunty. I have some preparation to make coz office starts tomorrow " blurt out sadiq

" why so quick, don't you wanna spend more time with us? " she asked faking a hurt look.

" no.... No, not at all. Work starts tomorrow and I haven't prepared anything yet. I need to give a good impression at the office tomorrow.

She nodded thoughtfully " what is the name of this said company which you just got employed at ?"

He sighed. He thought he could at least escape this topic but luck wasn't on his side. He knew that if she knows he was going to start working for her husband, she might convince her husband to give him a high post. That is what sadiq doesn't want. He wants to make name by himself,without anyone ones help.

" tell me . I'm all ears"

He sigh" Prestige enterprise "

Her eye were as wide as sausage " really? " she couldn't help but show her happiness

" just see the work of Allah. I have always wanted to help you out by telling my husband to give you a job but you always refuse. See how Allah does his wonders fa and you didn't even know that he is my husband. I am so happy for you wallahi, I will tell him to better give you a high position at the office "

He rolled his eyes " that is why I don't even want you to know . Please don't tell him to"

Her face turn into a hurt one " but why ? Can't I at least help you out? "

" what?!...... No....of course you can. I just don't want to have this feeling that I was helped by my boss's wife before giving a job. It will make me feel some how. Just leave him in the dark for now. I don't want to be favoured because of my relation with you"

" hmm, you won't stop this your disciplinarian self. You make me sick when you don't even want my help. It's so annoying "

He snickered " it's all your fault. I've already told you that I don't need your help for now. But maybe later though, I might need it. Let me do things my way please "

She gave up " OK, if you say so" she frowned

" please don't be angry with me, pretty please " he childishly said and that brought a smile to her face.

" you are insufferable somethings. The annoying fact is that it's so hard getting angry with you. Huhhh " she frustratingly let out.

" please, don't get angry with me "he pout with a puppy eyes.

" big head Kawai"

" whatever "

" Before I forget, I have something for you. " she said

" what's that? he asked confused

" it something inform of a scholarship . Let me bring it for you. It's upstairs " she stood up and went to bring it from her room

Sadiq wonders what it is all about . What kind of scholarship?

He heard the sound of someone coming down the stairs. That should be aunty yasira. He turn to see who that was and his guess was right

" Here it is. It has been with me for two month now hoping that you would come visiting so I can give it to you. " she hand the envelope to him

He collect the envelop and brought out the paper inside. He open the well folded paper and read the contents inside.

Aunty yasira sat comfortably waiting for him to grab on, what this is all about.

After he finished reading he raised his head to meet her eyes in surprise

"wow!.... you're the best aunty yasira. If you know how I have been trying to have my hands on this, you will be surprised. I always listen to the advert but I couldn't apply because of my lack of money. I love you so much" he was over the moon.

Its a program which will be taken at one of the best business school abroad. A two years program that help change life's of young business men. Because of his lack of money he couldn't apply. The money was too high. They help build young business men to billionaires and alot of business men now aday had already gain from it. It seems Allah had listen to his prayers. Its time I put my enemies to shame

" am glad that I put a smile on your face. I will do anything for you sadiq coz you're the only family I have left besides my husband and children. Put all your haters in shame. It's your time to shine" she said almost at the midst of tears

He smile gratefully . He noticed that there are two forms in the envelope.

" who is the owner of this other form. Don't tell me it's Rahama's? "

" of course not it isn't hers. One is for you and the other is for your friend, Jafar. "

" Really?!"

and here he was already feeling bad thinking that he was going alone but Allah works in miraculous ways. He will be going with jafar!!!. His happiness has no boundary. He didn't know whether to laugh or to cry.

" Thank you so much Aunty yasira "

" please stop thanking me. It's my duty as your aunty. Don't make me cry" she said wiping the threatening tears that fell on her cheeks " I'm so happy that you at least allowed me to do something for you. I'm very happy"

He stood up and went to sit on the couch she was. He side hug her " please stop crying, don't forget today Is mum's birthday and I don't want you to ruin it with your tears. She isn't with us today but I know she is watching over us. I refuse to bring up the topic about her just because I don't want to open up deep wounds which have been buried. So let's rejoice to the key to my success and make mom proud "

Fatima ( sadiq's mom) might be a sister to Aunty yasira but aunty yasira loves to refer her as mummy coz she was both her mother and father after their real parents died.

" yeah, you're right . I will stop the tears" she quickly wipe her face

" that's what am talking about"

" see your big head" she said after stopping the tears

" Jafar will be so happy when he comes to know of this news. He didn't let me rest till he push me to come pay you a visit "

She chuckled " that's the kind of friend I love"

" thank you once again"

She roll her eyes " I have heard o. You just won't stop thanking me"

" but what about work? I think I should just summit my resignation letter " he suggested

" don't submit it now. There is still lots of time before your flight gets ready. You still have two months left. Use that two month to work for now before the time comes " she suggested

He nodded thoughtfully " yeah, you're right"

" I still need to tell my husband about you, whether you like it or not. He has always want to meet you"

He understood where she is coming from

" OK, you can tell him. But please wait till he gives me a post at the office "

" it's fine with me"

" since all is settled, I guess it time to leave. When the twins wake up, tell them that I promise to come over often "

They fell asleep after the shower they had

" OK, I will. The driver will take you home and I don't want' no ' for an answer"

He rolled his eyes
