Chapter 25

" you're not saying anything, Mansir. I noticed you've been deep in your thoughts since you saw that stupid mechanic man at my house" said Rahama frustratingly .

Since they reached the restaurant, Mansir hasn't been himself.This behavior of his annoys Rahama to the core. He didn't even compliment her dressing nor her looks.They've already order for their meal which is still yet to be ready. At least he should keep her company instead he was doing the opposite.

He hate the fact that sadiq was at Rahama's house and the annoying thing is that, he seems to be very comfortable around Rahama. That ,which he noticed from how they were quarreling like some old couple. it's so annoying.

" I've asked you several time if you know him but you said you don't,so what's all this silence all about" an aggravated Rahama said, already getting fed-up.

He noticed that she wasn't happy about his behavior so he forced a smile on his face after he finished typing a message to his personal investigator. The message was for the investigator to find out what relation does sadiq have with the Dabos. He just couldn't calm down until he know the reason. It better not be something I will hate.

"I'm so sorry if my lack of attention made you angry. Please don't be mad at me.Its just some office stuff that got me all bothered "

Her face turned into a concerned one " I hope it's nothing serious? "

Wow! she actually fell for the lies

" erm not at all. It nothing you should be bothered about " he smile. The wrinkles on her forehead disappeared Immediately

" OK then. So, can I now have all your time and attention coz I really deserve it. You didn't even compliment my appearance " she playfully pout with folded arms.

He chuckles slightly . He sat upright and gaze at her lovingly. The look he was sending her way was making her feel shy and the thud sound of her heart just won't stop . She just couldn't help it. Truth be told, he is a very good looking man and for someone like him to stare at her just the way he was doing is so uncomfortable to her . In a good way though.

" I'm truly sorry for my mistake. I would be lying if I said I didn't notice all your dolled up self. You look immaculately beautiful that I can't help but be proud of myself for having such a beautiful lady by my side. Am really a lucky man" when a man is classified as a lady's man, that would be Mansir. He knows how to play his card just damn well.

The said lady was seriously blushing in front of him. The tingling feeling in her cheeks is unexplainable. She is now sure of one thing and that is, she really likes Mansir so much that she can't help how her heart always swell when he always praise her beauty . Let's not forget the thudding sound it always makes too.

" you don't need to be shy. Truth be told love, among all the women I have come encountered with, you're the most beautiful among all" he smirk

The tingling feeling didn't go away instead it kept increasing

" so ,what you're trying to say is that you've been with lots of women? " she couldn't help but ask with her eyes on the table and the blush still stagnant on her cheeks. She had never felt this way for any guy not to talk of the fact that she couldn't meet his eyes coz of her shyness. This new feeling feel surreal to her.. I'm seriously embarrassing myself.

" what!. .....No..no that isn't what I meant ,love. Most of these women are the one pushing themselves at me and among all of them, I've only dated two out of them. "

" Really? So tell me what led to all the break ups?"

" should we be talking about my exes? I thought today should be just about us? " he asked with raised brow. Hoping that she would agree with him.

" yeah ,you're right" she said thoughtfully. She can now meet his eyes since the uncomfortable moment was gone. " OK then. Tell me more all about you. "

Most women loves asking this same question which she just did and he is already well prepared for it.

" I'm sure you already know some stuff about me. But still y_

" Here is your meal ma'am, sir" the waiter interrupted, looking from Rahama to Mansir. He drop each of their order on the table.

The two had long forgotten that they ordered for something.

Before Mansir could snap at the poor waiter, he beat him to it" we are so sorry for the delay.There was a little mix up at the kitchen "

" it's nothing .you can leave" said Rahama dismissively

" I don't know what is wrong with employees of now adays ,they just tend to dissapoint. " spat out Mansir

" Don't mind the yeye people. So, where were we? " she said instead ,with a smile. Bringing them back to their previous conversation.

He smirk " I can see you're so eager to know about me"

" wh_at?! ......I me_an,...... am not eager. I just wanna know more about you that's all. "she stuttered on her words

He grinned at her all worked up face. She doesn't want him to think of her as someone so possessive. It normal to know more about people ,right?

" Don't get so worked up over it. I was only joking."

She calm down

" I don't mind if you want to know all about me. I'm sure you must be hungry coz I'm damn right hungry. I promise to tell you all that you need to know after the meal" he said with an apologetic smile

She nodded and they both dig in

**

The house of the Dabo was still as lively as it is since sadiq came to visit. He still hasn't left. Aunty Yasira just don't want him to leave so soon. Even the kids where now very comfortable around him. It's over four hours now since they came back from school. They just couldn't help but ask their mother who their visitor was. The face was new to them.

Immediately their mom told them he was their uncle, they loosen up and ran to hug him. Their shyness disappeared immediately. They were like a glue to sadiq since then and he also doesn't mind. He just couldn't help but admire their cuteness and also how intelligent they were. At first glance, one would surely fall these little cuties . Jamila and Jamil.

" uncle, when will you come to visit us again? " jamila asked with a pout.she doesn't want him to leave so soon.

He laughed at her cute face " I promise to come often dear. Don't forget that you're my new girlfriend "

Her face brighten up at this new info" really? " he nodded with a sly smile.

Her mom was sitting at the other side of the couch listening to all their funny conversation. She shake her head at her daughter's ignorance

Jamila turn to her mom " Mom, did you hear what uncle sadiq said? He said I'm his new girlfriend. Yay!!" she jumped up and down happily.

Sadiq couldn't help but chuckle

The quiet one of the twins just kept looking from his sister to the uncle. Jamil could only stare at them. This got sadiq's attention

" Jamil, you aren't saying anything. Won't you tell me what you want? "

" I want you to play football with me"

Sadiq nod " If that is the case, when next I come visiting ,I promise you that we will play football together. "

Jamil's happy self came back instantly . He loves football .

" yay! I have plenty balls upstairs. Aunty Rahama bought all of them for me" said little jamil

At the mention of Rahama's name, sadiq mood changed immediately like a girl on her period. Aunty Yasira noticed

" are you alright sadiq? " she asked concerned

" yeah.......yeah, I'm alright. Why did you ask? "

She doesn't want to bring it up because of the kids, so she dismiss it.

" it's nothing " she shake her head.

He knew she caught on about his change of mood but wouldn't say any thing.

Aunty yasira called for her househelp Samira to take the twins for a warm shower. She need to ask sadiq about his recent mood swing and don't want to do that in front of the kids. They might be little, but they can still catch on somethings.

The are now left alone.

" why did your mood change all of a sudden ,sadiq?. I can't let this question escape"

He roll his eyes at her nosiness " it's nothing"

" of course it isn't nothing. Coz I noticed how your mood changed when jamil mentioned Rahama's name. "..

He sighed frustratingly " you know you're nosey right? "

She shrugged, unaffected of being called a noseycat

" so tell me" she was impatient to know

" Fine. Can I ask you something? " he said while aunty yasira nodded.

" is Rahama harsh on the twins? " he really need to know
