FLASHBACK
"you?"
" the spoilt brat? "
We shouted in surprise at the same time.
Rahama stood tall acting like M. S presence isn't affecting her. But deep down her mind she was actually scared. He folded his hand over his chest, with a smirk that makes him look more handsome
How can one act like a devil and also look good at the same time? ....she thought
" what is the young lady doing in my territory, don't tell me you came to insult me again princess"
" Don't call me that" she said in a firm voice.
He move closer and looks at her directly in the eyes.
" what if I don't, what will you do. Will you slap me again and run off to tell daddy"
She felt so uneasy with his closeness, so she move to the other side.
" where is my car? " she asked instead after remembering what actually brought her to the mechanic's shop.
" which car are you talking about?" a confused M. S asked
" The one my driver brought for you in the morning or you want to tell me you didn't receive a car from someone named Garba . Well, we all know that people like you can do and undo "
" why are you always this bitter to people like me. Why can't you talk in a civilized way" he glared at her.
She didn't answer him instead she eyes him up and down then stretched out her hands for her car keys.
" My car keys"
He didn't answer , he only look at her like he was trying to understand something about her. Rahama feels uneasy with the way he was scrutinizing her.
" hello, is someone there" she decided to bring back his attention by wave at his face . He came out of his thoughts and hand her car keys to her without uttering any word.
" aren't you surprised that fate made us meet twice the same day" he cockily let out and She scowled at him
" stop saying rubbish and tell me how much is my bill" she brought out her cheque book from her hand bag.
" Never mind, let it be a treat from me to you" he doesn't know what was stopping him from collecting the money when he actually needs it.
" you better take the money because I don't give a damn how much I spend, you also look like you need the money. At least buy something good to wear not this rag you call cloth" she pointed and then wrote down a cheque of hundred thousand Naira and hand it to him. He didn't collect it instead, he was looking at her in shock because of what she said to him. She insulted his clothing ,how dare her.
Rahama then drop the cheque on the stool she sat on before, since he refused to collect it and then turn to leave.
" young lady" a angry M. S called out in an angry voice while rahama turn to answer him with questioning eyes.
He took the cheque and walk up straight to her. He tore the cheque into pieces and then threw all the torn piece of paper at her. She was shocked beyond belief that this crazy man here, who she wrote a cheque note of hundred thousand naira dares to tore it and threw the pieces at her?
He is crazy. She felt so insulted especially now that people where watching them. Some where pointing at her and making fun of her.
" Next time try to act and speak nicely to people, if not you're going to regret it all your life" she stood agape
She was seething " you stupid man " she went forward to slap him for the second time today but he had a quick reflex this time, he held her hand quickly before it meet his face.
" Don't ever raise your hand on me ever again. If not I'm going to break this hands of yours" she swallowed and drew her hand back
She glares at him and he did same. Rahama hissed and turn to walk to her car full of disgrace. I hate that man. She has never hated anyone as she hate this particular man.
END OF FLASHBACK
" wow, this is actually serious" a baffled yasirah said.
Rahama got angry at this " is that the only thing you could say?"
Yasirah noticed her anger " no, I'm just processing what you've just told me. But for me I think you were at fault, you shouldn't have insulted him. You were quick to judge, had it been you come off nicely the man would have apologized. He was also wrong by tearing the cheque and throwing it on you." she added the last statement, just to make rahama happy.
Truth be told, rahama was at fault in general, she was way too rude and a spoilt brat. She wish she was there to see rahama's reaction when the poor man tore the paper and threw it at her. Yasirah internally laughed.
If rahama wasn't picking on her nails she would have catch on that yasirah was laughing at her. She was busy sad at the fact that no one supports her even her dad scolded her. Now, yasirah even sound like her once best friend, sakeenah.
They all make me sick
" come let's go play with my ball" the five years old boy said to the beautiful six years old girl. She offers him a wide smile that shows her toothless front teeth. The little girl loves it when he ask her to play with his ball." ok" together they went to play with other kids. Unknown to them that a particular seven years old boy was at the far end of the garden watching with anger. He hates it when other boys play with the little girl, he always wants to be the only guy friend she has. So, he plan to interfere in their game. One would be surprised at how this seven years old can be jealous and how he even have a mind to hate someone . That someone he hate is his brother. Yes, he hates his junior brother, he hate him with passion.All because, whenever they are out to play, all his friends prefers to play with his junior brother than him.Sadiq is this kind of charming and friendly boy right from time. He is a carefree kid who is full of l
On reaching his post at the garage, he met a man standing close to a nice flashy car. This man must be rich,he thought . He was already thinking of how much he is going to charge the man. That is how most of the mechanics work, when they have richer customers they charge more from them than they charge the lower class. He is ashamed to have join that type of crew but what can he do, he needs the money. How person go do, person go chop na." excuse me sir" he said to the man since the man's back was facing him. The man turn to him with a smirk and sadiq couldn't believe who was standing right before him." Mansir? "" well I wouldn't say it's nice seeing you here because it isn't. Just say what brought you and leave" sadiq firmly said. He wasn't going to let his guards down since he knows how terrible his brother can be, Which was why after he came out of the shock of seeing mansir here, he bravely stood tall without showing any single ounce of fear. It's two
Alhaji Ringim hanged up the call with Mansir. He lightly shakes his head and entered into the lawyer's office.He did what he came to do and they finally round it up." it was nice having you Alhaji "" Thank you so much lawyer. " Alhaji Ringim shakes hand with the lawyer and was escorted outside.The reason why he came to the lawyer's office was very important.It better to do this now than later, he had thought. Who knows what might happen to me.His driver opens the door for him and he got into the car and was driven home.On reaching home, Alhaji Ringim head straight to his study room to take his pills which he forgot to take in the morning. He has been battling with heart problems for a year now but he is under observation by his personal doctor. He was prescribed some drugs to use and that had been what is supporting him all this time together with the unending prayers to Allah." Alhaji? Are you in there?
***The self-contain room sadiq and Jafar lives in needs lots of repair. Their ceiling for example is leaking,epecially now which is rain season and they've repaired it for almost five times but still the leaking just won't stop. The carpenter adviced them to change all the zinc. But how can they even waste money on a house that isn't their's? so they came to a conclusion to complained to the landlord and all he told them was , he has no money to repair anything and if they can't cope with it then they should leave. Since then ,they never brought the conversation up again and the Two friend came with the decision to put a plastic bowl under the direction where the water is dripping from ." seriously, if it isn't because of condition , we would have pack to another house. This dripping water isn't allowing me to even sleep with the way it sound. " a frustrated jafar said while sadiq chuckled .Sadiq has gotten used to the sound already but for Jaf
Standing in front of the mirror is Sadiq, dressed in a corporate wear. All five companies he submitted his credentials called to let him know that he wasn't given the job but he still haven't given up. One of his garage friend made mention of a company to him, to see if his luck would shine. So, he had already apply for the vacancy position and was called early in the morning to come for the interview, which was why he is well dressed for this. He wants to impress whosoever is giving him this interview at this company he is about to go.After all, dressing also matters, who would give an office job to someone dressed in a dirty clothes, of course, no one would, Sadiq thought to himself" what is the name of this company you're about to go again? " asked jafar as he went through sadiq's credentials .Sadiq turn to look at his friend like he wasn't serious " I can't believe that you keep forgetting the name. I have repeated the name for more than th

I'm sure you know him" at the mention of Ringim, a blush crept up rahama's face. She bow her head down to hide it from her dadHe noticed her bowed head" dear, are you ok?" asked a concerned Alhaji dabo." I'm fine dad,continue what you were saying "she quickly raise her head up." Before I continue, I would love to ask you this particular question ,little one"She gave him a confused look " what is it dad? "" Do you like the young Ringim who came here last week?
