04- First day at office

Tomorrow will be the first day of his dream job. "Everyone around me will mock me if they hear being a driver is my dream job(for now!)" - Fahmi thought.

He sighed and reassured himself-

"Well! People have this propensity of either mocking or fearing if something doesn't go according to the social calculation! It's nothing new for me!"

He is still in amazement about what happened today. Then again, he does understand why Mrs. Razia was hanging on him till the end even though he appeared in tardiness.

He went out of bed, decided on the clothes he was going to wear, and went to sleep with a satisfied smile.

: "Rafa! are you awake?" (She knocked lightly on his door)

: "Yes! Come on in, Ma (Mom )"

As she entered, she saw he was working on some papers.

: "Take a rest, hon! It's your big day tomorrow. It will be hectic."

: "Yes, Ma! Just a little." He answered while studying papers.

: "Did you your jockey!" She tried to be sarcastic.

He laughed while snatching a glance at his mother. Then he sighed and organized the papers by closing the files.

: "Ammu, being honest, he looks like an absolute fool to me. Always smiling in every little thing like a stupid naive kid!" He said with a little annoyance.

: I can assure you he is not a fool though he can be naive. And these two are different. And one day my son, you will thank me heartily for selecting him!" She said as he pat his head.

Mrs. Razia went to bed after some more chit-chat about the upcoming plans.

"He is not just a mere driver," She thought.

Fahmi is qualified enough both Academically and Professionally to be employed in a top-level job. So she understands having Fahmi around her son is a privilege even though he might not be around for a long time (According to Mr. Azam's perception, Fahmi will leave the job if he is offered a decent job later).

And she is precisely calculative when it comes to his children and their involvement.

So, even if Fahmi becomes bored one day and decides to leave, it will not be a problem. Rafa will be officially taking over the business from tomorrow.

All she needs is a couple of months for Rafa to settle down amidst the chaos and start the hunt.

And for that rather than a mere dumb driver, an educated, professionally intelligent guy like Fahmi is a jackpot for her.

They can always find an ordinary driver later.

He woke up.

After a long time, the alarm rang! And the run starts once again.

He is in a good mood. Usually, he doesn't eat breakfast.

Just smokes and drink a cup of tea or coffee.

Yes! A very unhealthy life!

He arrived at the Razia-Nibash (Nibash=house), the name of their house, 15 minutes prior to their departure.

Guard asked his name and let him inside.

"Woah!! Would you look at the level of luxury!" He said out loud as looked around the beautiful lawn and the marvelous duplex house. On one side there are even chairs under an umbrella, a big one that is usually can be found beside the sea beach!

Before he pressed the calling bell, the door is opened.

A frowned face stared at him!

: Uhh...um good morning, Sir!

: "Morning! I saw you wandering around"

: "Ohh I. It is very beautiful around! I indulged to have a tour for the refreshments of my eyes!" Though he was embarrassed, he answered with a bright smile.

Rafa still stood by the door without letting Fahmi in. His frown only deepened upon hearing him out!

: "Come on! Mr. Rafa, youngsters should not frow, at least not early in the morning!" He added trying to cheer him.

Rafa was surprised by that approach. Is this guy not afraid of him at all?

: "Hey dear! You are here! Why are you guys standing and not coming inside?" Mrs. Razia sounded cheerful.

: "Good morning, Mam! I am blocked by the door" He tried to peek inside over the arm of Rafa, that is holding the door!

: "As cheerful as you are, are not you Mr. Fahim? Come on Rafa, shall we!"

: "Would you like me to play a song, Mam!"

: "Of course!"

Fahmi played a soothing song of Ravindranath Tagore, that goes with the cheery morning breeze.

: "Mmm...nice choice!" Mrs. Razia praised in content.

They arrived at the office. He opened the gate for them.

: "Have a good day there." Fahmi said as he bid them farewell for the big day.

: "You are not coming inside with us?"

: I...I should?

: "Ohh yes, it's a celebration today and you are part of a team, are you not Mr. Fahmi?" Said Mrs. Razia with a broad smile.

: "Ohh...umm yes of course!" He followed them inside the building.

Even though Fahmi agreed so, but he groaned inside his head "Ow dear lord, I do not wish to be involved in anything more than driving. I need preparation and which is why I choose this job. Please do not ruin my plan!"
