Al amin's P.O.V
I was going through some documents on my laptop when i heart a faint knock on my office door.
"Come in" I ordered.
Murad, my PA, came into the view and stood in front of my desk "Sir, the clients are here, we're starting the meeting in 5mins"
I nodded and dismissed him wondering how time flies like an arrow, it wasn't long when he came in to inform me that we would be having the meeting in 2hours, now it was barely 4mins to the meeting. I sighed and walked out of the office and to the medium sized hall that was designated for meetings only.
I exchanged pleasantries with the clients and got to work. We were almost through when i heard my phone ringing. Seeing it was yasmeen, i excused myself hoping it was something important she was going to tell me.
"Sweet brother" She said sweetly from the other end.
"Uhm... What do you need? I know I'm only called that when my little sister needs something from me, So...?" I smirked.
"Sweet bro.." She chuckled "Its that audi i borrowed from you, wallahi you can say 'i told you so' for as much as you want, I won't complain or do anything, cross my heart"
"Uhmm... So?"
"I can even make your favorite shake if you want" She bribed.
"Oh Please yasmeen I don't have all day" I said looking at my wristwatch.
"Well, can you please come and take us home? Pleaseeeeee" I could imagine that grin she makes when she desperately needs something.
"You got to be kidding me kid, I'm in the middle of a meeting when you called i had to take an excuse to pick the call, have you tried igniting the car for several times?"
"I've tried like gazillion times"
"What about the driver at home?"
"He has to go and come with a mechanic, you know they have to buy a new battery and we can't really wait for that long because we are really buggered and wallah its too sunny" She came up with a excuse.
I sighed "Okay give me 20mins, i will be there in a tick, alright?"
"Yayy" She squeaked while i shook my head at her behavior. I hung up and went back to the meeting hall. Soon, we finished everything. I ordered murad to keep the files that i needed to go through and lock up my office.
Once i reached the school gate, i saw yasmeen standing alone by the side. I parked and hopped out then walked towards her.
She was typing away on her phone, clearly forgotten about her surrounding. I quietly snatched away the phone making her gasp in horror. She let out a deep sigh when she realized it was me "Wallahi I thought it was a thief"
"What if it was him? He would simply run off with the phone and you won't see it again" I shook my head at her carelessness.
"You should be more careful" I chided and handed her the phone while she pouted.
"I thought you were with Ruqayyah, she left?" I questioned.
She grinned, that grin she makes whenever i mention ruqayyah's name. Yeah! She has got various types of grin.
"She went to buy us water" She announced pointing at the canteen which was a little far from us. I furrowed my eyebrows, looking closely. She was standing with a guy, laughing. I instantly frowned and told yasmeen to get in the car, I would go get her.
I walked towards them but stopped dead in my tracks.
It probably is the guy!
No its him! Definitely.
It is true!
Ya Allah!
Their heads snapped towards me, at the same time. I could tell she looked shocked. It clearly shows she didn't expect me to see them together.
"When did you come? Where is yasmeen?" She asked and i just let out an exasperated huff. How gutsy!
I kept looking at the two for some minutes, adrenaline flying through my blood, before i uttered "I can't believe this"
She murmured somethings which i couldn't quite make out and faceplamed herself.
I steadied my gaze on her "So it was true?" I clenched my jaw "This guy is really your boyfriend, I didn't believe it but now that i saw it right in front of me... I.... I.." I trailed off slowly running a hand down my face "Ruqayyah its true"
"Boyfriend? What are you talking about al amin? I don't get you at all" She pretended to be innocent.
"Whats happening guys? You left me waiting in the car" Yasmeen, who just arrived spoke. She exchanged some looks with ruqayyah before they turned to look at me.
"You know what I'm talking about, don't play games with me and act like you don't know whats up, acting all innocent" My frown deepened more.
"What nonsense are you talking about?" The stupid guy asked. What a nerve!
I felt a stab of what seemed to be jealously that I didn't even know when i landed a blow on his face.
I heard them begging me to stop but I didn't listen to them and landed another blow. "Stop acting childish and stop this crap now, why did you decide to jump into conclusion? At least listen to what i have to say. This guy is not my boyfriend and i have never seen him before in my life, he accidentally bumped into me and stopped to apologize, what's his fault? Is it the apology? Or because he spoke to me? Please its not every little thing we get jealous of"
"Don't you dare deny or lie to me, you have nothing to say" I yelled and clenched my fists.
"Al amin don't misapprehend" She spoke and closed her eyes.
"I'm not stupid ruqayyah, this guy is your boyfriend and don't you dare deny it" I scowled at her.
Damn! I hate lies!
"Are you for real? How could you say that when I'm engaged to you? Al amin you have no right, don't you dare accuse me again" She yelled.
She turned to the guy and scrutinized his face, His mouth was bleeding. Serves him right!
"Subhanallah I'm so sorry" She said softly and handed him a tissue from her bag. That infuriated me more. So, i snatched the tissue and scrunched it into a ball.
"Ya al amin what are you doing?" Yasmeen spoke angrily.
"I will leave you two since you chose him, we can't get married while you see him behind my back, besides we both don't want this marriage right?" I said.
Ruqayyah's eyes suddenly hardened "So what if he is my boyfriend?" She screeched "Al amin if I'm in a relationship with this guy wallahi I won't hesitate to tell you, what will i gain if i lie to you? For Allah's sake How could you even accuse me of having a boyfriend? What are your proofs?... I'm sure you have none, I really shouldn't have let it drop when I suspected something between you and deeju but i did even though I wasn't convinced enough, i could've been violent if i wanted to but I didn't now look at him" She pointed at the guy "He's bleeding, Are you happy?" Her voice cracked as yasmeen pulled her back and gently stroked her back, obviously trying to calm her down.
I opened my mouth to verbalize but kept mute as 'Speak good or remain quiet' kept ringing in my head. Sure i would later regret saying somethings. The words should better be unspoken. I turned making the little crowd shatter. I went to my car and drove away angrily.
I held the steering wheel tight with both my hands as my meeting with deeju kept flashing back like a spectator in my brain.
Flashback *2days back*
'I stretched my body and leaned back in the couch i was sitting, my eyes glued to my laptop. I was in my office and was really bored to death so i decided to watch Kingsmen on my laptop. I knew it was against the rules but rules are meant to be broken, aren't they? Besides I'm the head honcho!
I was so into the movie that i almost yelled at the person that just knocked my door. "Enter" I commanded.
"Hey!" Deeju walked into the room with a wide grin.
"Hi" I said as i wondered what she needed. I haven't had a conversation with her for a straight 5mins ever since that day. I kept avoiding her, thank God she kept her distance.
"Can we talk?" She asked peppy unlike our last encounter.
"Sure" I motioned for her to sit on the couch which was across from mine, hoping it wasn't an issue like last time's we were going to talk about.
She cleared her throat "Uhmm.. i have something for you"
I hesitated for some seconds before i spoke "What is it?"
"Well..." She shifted a little bringing her hands to her knees "Its about your fiancee" She grimaced as she mentioned the 'fiancee'.
Not again!
"Yeah?" I nodded, indicating for her to proceed. She better not say some stupid things.
"The shameless girl that you are head over heels for is cheating on you" She uttered, bluntly.
"You came last time begging me to marry you and now this? Please deeju i don't want to hear this, you either talk about something noteworthy or gently walk out" I said solemnly, pointing at the door.
She stood up and wiped the tears that just rolled down her cheeks "I have to tell you this because i really care for you, I'm serious about it, I can't stand seeing you being betrayed by a girl and just keep mute... I was right, she doesn't deserve you at all, like why are you so uncomprehending?" She hissed.
"And why are you the only person telling me this?" I raised my brows.
"I don't know.. Maybe they don't care about you as i do" She shrugged.
I sighed "How did you find out that Ruqayyah is cheating on me?"
"I witnessed it right in front of my eyes, al amin i saw them, you have to believe me" She choked.
A frown creased my forehead.
"She's seeing someone while you're here crazy about her, the guy definitely studies in the same school she is because i saw them there. So the possibility of them being together everyday is so high" She paused "But if you feel like you can still marry her, then i wish you best of luck in your marriage" With that she swayed out of the room leaving me absolutely flummoxed.
What if she was saying the truth? What if she really saw them? Did she really love him?
Those questions kept swimming in my head'
End of flashback
But i now have the answers.
I parked my car and hopped out then sauntered into the house, fuming with rage. I couldn't believe Ruqayyah was actually seeing someone even after she was engaged to me.
Once i reached my room, i went straight into my bathroom and let the cold water beat down on me, hoping the pain in my heart would ease. But instead it was only making the pain proliferate. So, I quickly stepped out and slipped into a plain black shirt and a black shorts, later walked to umma's room. I wanted to have a peaceful sleep. But then, i didn't want umma to suspect something. I normally go to her room whenever i came back from work.
I stopped when i saw her sitting with abba in the parlor that leads to her room. "Salamu alaikum" I announced my presence, plastering a fake smile on my face.
Their heads all poked to my direction. "Alaikumussalam" They both answered before umma patted the space beside her "Come and sit my dear, I didn't know you were back, how's work? Did you eat?" She questioned at one whack.
I didn't have the strength to talk so I simply nodded.
"How's work? And the meeting?" Abba asked after taking a sip of his apple drink.
"Alhamdulillah" I replied while they continued with the conversation they were having before I interrupted.
Umma suddenly eyed me "You're quiet today, is everythi...." She didn't get the chance to complete her sentence when yasmeen cut her off with her sallama.
We answered back before she came and sat beside Abba. She had a deep deep frown- which I didn't see for ages, painted on her face.
"Abba and umma we need to talk" She said, gaining both our parents attention.
"About what sweetheart?" Umma questioned, clearly interested in whatsoever Yasmeen was going to tell.
"Its about ya al amin and Ruqayyah" She began while I quickly shot her a glare, followed by a look that screams 'Get-back-to-your-senses'.
I may be really angry but I didn't want our parents to learn about it.
"What about them?" Abba asked, his gaze darting from me to her.
Yasmeen didn't spare me a glance and started narrating the story. There was a flustering quietude when she finished, with only the sound coming from the television.
"Ka kyauta sosai Al amin (You did a great job)" Abba spoke angrily, breaking the awkward silence.
"How could you be so impetuous? How could you beat him? How did you know they're dating? Did she tell you herself? Do you have any evidence? Ko kai Allah musuru ne? iyayenta sun bamu amanarta amma zaka wulakanta ta? Kai sarkin kishi ba? Toh ka kyauta" He said, bummed.
"You should've thought before taking any action, now only God knows in what condition she is right now, wallahi we simply won't take this, ai wannan shirmen banza ne" Umma lashed out at me.
"Umma please...."
"Al amin you're not a kid for God's sake, did you at all think what would happen to that innocent man? Subhanallah" Umma shook her head disappointedly.
Silence.
Silence.
Silence.
"I know what to do" Abba verbalized and immediately raged out of the room. Followed by Umma. My palms suddenly became sweaty. I know my parents won't take this easy. Ya salam!
"Why did you tell them?" I bawled out at Yasmeen.
"I have to ya al amin because you really hurt her" She said with a scratchy voice.
"I hurt her? What about me? Why do you people only care about her? She hurt me too"
"So much" I inserted, which came out more like a whisper.
"No Ya Al amin, she didn't" She shook her head "You pointed at her modestly but mind you when a woman is accused of something she never did, wallahi it cannot be endured, trust me she would never do such a thing" She stood up "I'm sure you'll soon realize your mistake" with that she gently sauntered out.
I leaned back as i tried to register her words. Half of me wanted to believe Ruqayyah wasn't at fault but the other half was making me believe otherwise.
Feeling extremely tired, i walked back to my room and hopped unto my bed. I felt the urge to know how she was doing and what she was doing right now. Could she be crying or sleeping?
I rolled to my right side and exhaled. What if she's watching right now, totally forgotten about me?...
Hey hey hey my pretty people.....
Y'll doing good in shaa Allah?
Lmao I can't believe Yasmeen was serious for once, well it wasn't bad, yeah? And pwahahaha I'm very sure some of you are there with your knives and pistols searching for hajia deeju. Sha, What do you guys think Abba would do about this issue? I hope he takes it easy on My habibi.
