" Here, I went to the grocery store and super market, got us a few cups and dishes and I bought some groceries, I cooked Assam laksa" Mother said as she gave me a plate of food I couldn't recognize. " what's Assam Laksa?" I asked as I used my fork to play with the onion rings that topped the plate. " It's rice noodles in sour tamarind broth I peppered with mackerel and there you'll see the vegetable garnishing. It tastes better than it smells or looks" Mother said as she poured me a cup of water. " Alright" I answered and dug into my food. It was spicy and delicious.
" It's nice right?" She asked and I nodded my head as I ate more. " it's delicious Mother" I answered. " I knew you'll like it, my best friend taught me how to p

They were getting on my nerves, Najmah was happily at sleep and now they were disturbing her.I tied a scarf around my head quickly as I wore my slippers and walked to the door."good morning" my eyes almost honestly popped out from where they gracefully sat. Like what the hell.How did he find me.What was he even doing here this early morning. He disturbed my beauty sleep just to show up with a smile and a bag I'm sure was full of toys. He almost woke her up for Allah's sake. " Did you have to ring the doorbell like that?" I snapped and watched him smirk.I was really not in th

—————Malaysia, Kuala Lumpur—————————Khalid's Condo. 11:00am." We're leaving after we get something to eat in the restaurant near by" Mother said as she walked out of her room fully dressed. She wanted to spend lots of hours with her friend and I so wasn't signing up to sit and watch them. I was just going to drop her and find something interesting to do.There were many things I could do, doing them alone was going to be very pathetic so I was probably going to call up Zarah. " How do I look son?" Mother asked as she looked at herself in the mirror that was in the living room." You always look beautiful Mother" I complimented and got up from where I sat. I was wearing three quarter shorts and a body hug, plus my sneakers, casual." Thank you son, so let's go" She said an

All our hard work couldn't be gone in a minute, who could have done this to us. " You're trending on the news, your warehouses in Australia, Germany, Mauritius, China, Mexico, Turkey, South Africa and Los Angeles, they all blew up at the same time" What.What!!!." How did that happen?" I snapped. " I'm still reading, it's what Al-Jazeera news are currently talking about, apparently as at 9:30pm, Saturday, Malaysian time, today, eight time bombs went off in the major branches of the Olyster Textiles Warehouses, it's a mystery how they all went off at once and the military are doing the best they can to get to the bottom of this, many workers and civilians were lost, there were a lot of casualties in each country" Wh

Zarah you should head to your home, come to work tomorrow by 9:00am" I said as I hurriedly walked out of the airport. I had enough sleep in the plane and all I needed to make my breath fresh were some mints, I could take a bath later on. " Okay sir, Mother you should go with Sophia, make sure Brandon is okay" I said to mother. My car was ready for me and the company van was going to take Mother and Sophia to our family house.Sophia was already here. " Zarah, you can follow us, we can drop you off at your place"" uh ma'am don't worry it's fine"" Don't be shy come on let's go" Mother insisted until she finally agreed and the driver helped them place their luggage in the trunk."

Good morning Mr Olyster, I got you coffee and a croissant, you probably didn't have a decent breakfast this morning" Zarah was being nice. Scary. I literally didn't sleep last night, I was busy estimating funds and going through the names of people who were lost from the explosion. It was too much. Mother moved in with Sophia after we went over to the mansion. He still sent us all away. I was honestly scared of Brandon going crazy. The man didn't deserve that. He was a victim of all this. Mother packed her clothes and important documents and left with Sophia to their home. I was all alone in my condo again. " you brought me breakfast?, how nice"" well cause I knew you ate nothing since you stay alone now, Mama Zainab told me. You should eat before heading to

Well Zainab told me she and her husband are getting their marriage annulled and that Khalid doesn't work at their family business any longer" Ummah said as I stuffed my mouth with sweet papaya. I was soon going to declare papayas as my favourite fruit after mangoes, pineapples and watermelon. They were all so delicious and refreshing especially when they were chilled.Ummah had finally contacted Mama Zainab.
