( Monday the 8th of September)
Today is the day that I would be going to the news station, and I am so excited, oh God I can't wait.
Today I was a bit pre_occupied and I also had a lot to do today, so I woke up a little earlier than usual or let's say I woke up a lot earlier than usual, I was up by 6:00am which was a massive deal because on a usual day I would be up by 10:30am or so that's on a good day some days I wake up in the afternoon, and I think it's because I have nothing to do and also no one is assigned to wake me up, so I sleep and sleep and sleep.
Today was also wonderful as I prayed immediately after they called the prayer, I already felt the blessing of God showering me all through today and by his grave he would Gide and protect.
I was dressed all pretty as I wore a skirt and a top with a beautiful hijab, I went down and saw dad and mom preparing to also go to work. This is a big game changer for me, I have finally let go of my past, I don't want to know what happened to me since I was born, I am fine right to hear and right now, but the bog question still remains why did mom and dad agree to this was this a plot a twist against me, was this yet another trap of theirs which I will fall in face flat.
"Darling you look beautiful!" Mom said as she brought out a handkerchief to blow her nose and clean her eyes, OMG Mom started to cry the way she always did.
'Thanks I went closer and hugged her
"Here you go"
"Wow"
I was too happy to collect a pink tiny shopping bag from Moms hand it was covered with a paper and I threw it out of the bag, I saw the gift and a smile popes on my face, mom had just bought me a beautiful brand-new watch that had golden stones around it was so beautiful, it shined and glowed and deep down I felt like I had seen the face of an Angel.
"Your dad and I thought that we should surprise you with a starter up gift, you know" mom said as she manages to clean her face dry
"Oh, you shouldn't have" I said while I was still looking blindly in the watch
Oh, she should have done more I believe *smiley face emoji*
"Just say thank you" Mom said with a snuggle
"Yeah, thank you mom..... And dad" I said as I bent my knee down a little.
"Your welcome"
"Come we will drop you there" Dad said
"Okay" I said as I followed them to the car
There knew that I did not know the place and if there did not drop me there how would I get there, that leads to the next question how would I...
"Habit Mr James will be in charge of your transport, meaning he will be responsible for you, bringing you to and fro from the firm home and from home back to the firm but today we will be staring you up" Mom said as she interrupted my thoughts
"Thanks mom" I said as I sat down into the car
They also came into the car and it was a long ride there, I just remembered that I did not eat before leaving the house, what an error I made on my first day.
Dad dropped me in front of a building that says NNB what did that mean?, I went in and it was a huge building, there were different sections that caught my eyes and I cannot start explaining what.
Look at the detailing, God they put lots of money in here, nice job. Even if the companies building was looking old from the outside the interior beats any I have every seen.
Its even better than our own house, well since it's an estate I guess they had to minimize their money and go for something cheaper I guess, but this looks really nice it was a glass building.
"Hi beautiful"
I turned to look at the person that was insulting me.
Hi ugly full
"Ma, Good day ma" I greeted her
"Don't you have manners, who are you and what the hell do you want" she said how rude was she, who the hell did she think she was
"Maaaa...aaa" I stammered as I handed over my file to her from my bag
Dear miss,
I am not ugly, you are by far the worst person I have meet so far, why are you so rude?, why?, can't you be nice for once will it kill you?, will it?, why are you such a....
Yours internally.
I giggled as it was kind of funny as per intern and so, you get intern_ally, what ever. *Shit she saw me laughing* my subconsciousness said, I know by now she would call me insane, but I am not.
"What is it that you find funny?"
"Nothing ma"
She gave me a deadly glare and then turned her face away from me.
"Mitchewwwww" she hissed as she walks away from me
"Sorry ma"
"Follow me you psychopath" she said as she skimmed through the pages
"Pardon me ma" I said trying to make her repeat her sentence
"I said follow me your ugly bitch, what is wrong with you" she was talking to me as if I was a slot or a prostitute I felt terrible and embarrassed at the same time she was really rude and I did not like it.
"Sorry ma"
"Sit" she ordered as we were now in her office
"Yes ma" I did as fast as my body could
"Oh, why didn't you tell me your habi. I… I… I…a" she said as if she had seen me before and there was also an awkward fell in I was having from this place, it felt like I have been to hear.
"Ma"
"Harunas daughter right?" She said pronouncing my surn name wrongly.
"Yes ma"
"Honey sorry OK, well let me get someone who you will learn from"
"OK, ma"
She brought out a telephone and made a call for a Muhammad to come, this leads to the next question how does dad know this prostitute from?, I am not judging but look at her dressing, My eyes are burning.
We waited for the so-called man to arrive, and that took three billion years in my world, but in the real world its just twenty minutes.
At least she is to try to act nice towards me.
"Nice Vail"
"Thanks"
"You know I was once a Muslim"
*oh really, who fucking cares not me* my subconsciousness answered
"Ma you called for me" I heard a man say something that made my head turn said
It was that man, the newscaster the one I saw on television the one who reported my news that day, the one I saw on television, my heart skipped a beat as I saw him, oh my God what was he talking about?, have they figured me out?, has he?.
OMG, God please ease this for me and help me I don't want him to figure me out and place it on the news, he was not actually not that old if you think of it, but he was definitely ugly, very if you ask me.
I wanted to wave but I realized that he was in a television and could not see me and so it was clear that he did not know me as he went straight to meet his boss without staring so weirdly at me, I was thankful for that.
"Ma" he said again but this looking at his bosses eyes
"This is .... what's her name again"
"Habiba ma"
"Yes this is habiba, and she is our intern, not actually but you will be teaching...., what the hell you do in this place, now take her to where ever you stay and teach her, not fuck her, I said teach her"
He left without any words and the Lady pointed him as I stood up picked my bags and followed him, seems he was angry I guess, maybe to see me, who knows he kind of looked sad too, maybe he did not want to be the person to train me but whatever.
"Hi" I was breathing profusely as I was fast working in the human world, but in the cat world I was running.
He did not answer as he continued walking until we got to the extreme of the building which he entered and I followed, the place was segregated but the felling was not new it felt as if I have been hear before, it felt as if I was once a… But how could it happen I was just a child and I could not have worked here could I?.
Well I should not get all excited and all I mean déjà vu is fucking real but what those it mean again, Hmm I am so stressed out and dam I need to get out of this hell.
He brought out a plastic chair to form a shelf, and sat down on the office chair that was facing the table that was in the office.
"Sit down" he asked as I quickly did before I will be lashed with insults
"Hi" I said with a low voice as I gave the quiet and most dolly look I could give with my face
"Habiba how are you doing"
"Fine, do I know you" I asked as I bent my head to rake a good look of his face
"I believe we've seen, or haven't we"
"I knew, I know you"
"So, how can I help you"
"Well Mr you asked for my name and you did not tell me yours let's start from there "
"Muhammad"
He stood up and went out like he was not interested in the conversation, he came back a few minutes later.
Besides the time was 1:30pm and it was time for zuhr, wow is looks like he is the praying type.
"It's time for zuhr go and pray"
No, I don't want to I was trying to avoid this conversion cos I am tired and I guess I will really start praying tomorrow.
"Follow me I will take you there, to the mosque"
He saw the way I was acting and that lead to the most irritating question ever.
"Or you are not praying?"
OMG, he just disrespected me, I mean how can you ask me that?, this is just like asking a girl if she is on her period, of course I am not on, a bit even if I was why the hell will I tell an incomplete stranger, we all know she is not a complete stranger.
I had no choice but to move my lazy ass and followed him to the mosque, turns out it was nice, and I guess he wants me to be closer to my lord so why shouldn't I be thankful, I am but next time don't ask in important questions.
He did not even act as if he has committed a crime or as if it was okay to ask that type of question from a girl I just did not want to make it seem as if I had a problem but I think this was not the way to ask someone to follow you somewhere.
I felt really awkward and kind of embarrassed at the same damn fucking time, but I had to keep my cool I mean I did not get all dressed up for nothing, even if he did not look like much I hope he is much smarter than he looks course he ain't look like much and I can bet on that.
