Ammi couldn't stop exhilarating like wise the rest of the family, khalifa was still angry at taheera until now.
As for farida everything seems like a dream to her, the bunge of suitcases and the car and everything, her parents were so pleased and her friends are visiting, coming to see her LEFE. Even though taheera is not that happy but she also tag along with the family and celebrate with her sister.
Later in the evening, ammi came to her daughter's room where she found farida making a phone call with only God knows who, while taheera was taking a nap. She slide open the door and strolled over to one of the bed near her and sat at the edge of it. Taheera felt a shadow overhead her and she quickly unclogged her eyes a little to see who's there, when she saw it was ammi, she heartily slope upward mowing her face like one who woke up forcibly, as for farida, she didn't even noticed ammi in the room until taheera threw a pillow and strike her. She got startled and turned around to see who was is, she glared at taheera before spinning to ammi and mouthed a did you see that with a pout, ammi just evade and giggled at the two siblings.
While the two sisters were busy squabbling, khalifa set foot into the room and met his wife just staring at her daughter's snickering, Khalifa gave her a are they for real look and she boost out laughing hard and he followed her foot steps too, the two sisters that were squabbling dropped the act and focus and leer on their parents
"are you sure you are ready for marriage?" khalifa asked laughing directing the question to farida. She laughed and mouthed a yes shyly while on the contrary taheera pinched her arm and threw a don't be shameless look at her. They sat categorically without saying a word until khalifa broke the silence. "what made you call off your relationship with Azaan" he directed the question to taheera who crouched down evading any gaze with anyone of them in the room
She does not want anyone to know what made her cost-plus her relationship with Azaan, nor what made her became so cold toward her own sister lately, so she resolved to take all the blame and became the scapegoat. She lifted her head up to face her dad, she take back a glimpse of tears, and take a grip of her dad's hand who couldn't evade his gaze on her.
"I am so sorry khalifa, I know what I did was wrong but please don't ask me why and how that happened please khalifa" she crouched down again and now that glimpse of tears perfidy her and rolled down her cheeks. Khalifa who abhor to see any anguish arises in his house, especially from his beloved daughters, he held her hands, rise her chin up and cleansed away the tears that always stab his heart when ever he saw them.
"I have the right to get furious at anyone in this house who confide misdeeds, but I have never wanted to be a reason for my family's tears or grief" he incessant
She sniffed and head bobble with a small fleer. "I know khalifa, we all know" taheera snuffed, turned around where ammi and farida were and clanged her hand on farida's and prolonged
"we promise to make you proud and never let any agony to separate us, we promised that" farida tightened her hand on taheera's and nodded agreeingly
Khalifa hugged his daughters tightly, feeling like the joyous father ever, while ammi at the other hand quietly grab taheera's phone that was near her and captured the Bliss moment in a camera. They rotate after hearing the camera sound and balmy smiled at their mother who was holding the phone contentedly, while khalifa asked her to snapped them again
"Say cheese" said taheera giggling
Well yeah it has to be her, it's her nature after all
"cheeeeeeese!" They said altogether.
Ring! Ring! Ring! A phone besides farida ringed, she picked up the phone while shouting taheera's name
"Taheera! Taheera!"
"Coming!" said taheera running down the stairs panting
She handed taheera her phone and revolved to the television. Taheera ascended back to her room to join up.
"Hey Riena! Guess what" nurain cheerfully called
"Ray...what's up?" she retorted
"I showed one of my friends your résumé and requested to take it with him so that he can show it to the company he's working and!" he take a deep breath and relax then extended
"They want to have an interview with you first then hire you" he finally said
Everything stops in a split seconds for taheera, she couldn't even scream or yell, she became dumbfounded due to the excitement that strike off her whole body, but nurain cheerfully told her to relax, and she did exactly what she was told and then eventually screamed the name nurain joyfully at the top of her lungs, and he whooped through the phone.
"but how did you get my résumé?" she curiously asked
"Did you remember the day you came to MAI-SHAYI coffee place two days after your sister's LEFE celebration?" he asked and she nodded as if they were together
"yes, the day i threw a tantrum after finding out that you are the owner of the coffee place" she pouted chuckling
Oh Lord! I forgot to mention the day ammi sent me for an errand to MAI-SHAYI coffee restaurant to collect sundur from Fareedah, and boom! I met with Azaan as the CEO of the restaurant and that beautiful lady called Fareedah was his sister. Wow, that day when he escorted me out to where I parked my ride, I threw a fit of tantrum that how could he not tell me that he owns that huge coffee place fisabilillahi Lol.
"your phone was with me before you got to appease that squabble anger of yours…and I happened to noticed a document in your desktop while we were leaning against the trunk of the car and I aloofly viewed it, when I saw that It was a résumé, I sent it through airdrop and went through it " he manifested
As he was expounding, she became astonished, she was so excited to hear that the nurain she met not long ago was exactly the person who helped her got a job, and a job from a huge company, no one has ever motivated her the way nurain does, not even Azaan nor any of her relatives. Although she never contacted any company or industry for a job or even attempted to find one, nurain does. And that's not for anything but friendship. Can someone be this pure? At times when nurain calls, she felt like to pour out all that is eating her up but when ever she felt the urge to, the thought of Azaan's betrayal will splashed over her mind and makes her lose hope. But now things change, she decided to trust him sincerely.
"Thank you Ray, thank you so much." She sincerely appreciated.
"There is nothing like thank you in our friendship Riena, I helped you because you are my good friend and I know that whenever I am in need of a help too, you will exactly do the same, so no need ok!" said nurain literally
She nodded softly and rejoinder with an okay
"and they might send you an email later for the interview so stay tuned"
"Sure dear…let me go share this good news with ammi" she said and he tittered of how she sounded, then dropped the call.
Ammi! Ammi!" taheera screamed loudly enough for her to hear
Haba taheera, as if you're still a kid" ammi scolded
She evade ammi's bawl out and gave her an affectionate close embrace while ammi confusingly rapped her arms around her too
"guess what!" she murmured releasing a deep breath
"you fall and hit your head in the bathtub and that's why you came running screaming my name from top of your lungs right?" ammi narked
"I got a job" she whispered softly yet excitedly and let go of her mom breathing heavily
Ammi gasped happily and didn't even realize when she hoot congratulations to her daughter, she hugged her tightly as if she will take her back to the womb and reborn her this instant. "and I will be having an interview with the company soon too" she said and watched the way a tender smile plastered itself across her mother's face.
"How did you get the job?...did you apply for it?...how comes we never knew?" she randomly asked
"One question at a time ammi" she chuckled at her mother's questions. "Nurain did, he's the one that sent my résumé to one of his friends and asked for a favor to look into it and submitted it to his company, so he did as he was asked and sent nurain a feedback" she explained and ammi couldn't be more happier. The day became the most stunning day in a while, ammi and farida rejoiced with her and even planned a small party for themselves in the night, later that night, when khalifa returned from one seminar that was held in government house, taheera welcomed him with the news and he was so excited and proud of her that he even asked them to get dressed they will be celebrating it in an eatery.
