CHAPTER 3

  Balance your dunya around your Deen... 😇😇😇

HISHAM'S POV

I stepped into the boardroom with a man and woman in tow. The formal wear mixed withe the serious attitude created an official feeling.

The people who were already in the luxurious room stood up in greeting as a sign of acknowledging my presence.

After taking a look at the bunch of people before me, I sat down on the sit  signalling everyone to follow suit. No one dared to speak.

He opened a file right away, without looking up, I gave a cue to a young man to start the presentation.

"The goal of our new buildings will be sold at a lower price so that our customers..." I cutting him off.

"You mean to tell me you want to lower our profit Fahad!" I said furiously and went through the file.

"Ummm... sir, I'm not necessarily saying..." I cut him off again.

"This company is built off of integrity and quality, I didn't build this company for it to simply mediocre, if there isn't a better pitch by tomorrow you are fired" I boomed, the room suddenly falling into ice cold.

I stood up to leave when he said "But...may I at least finish"I ignored him and left the boardroom with my assistant trailing behind.

****

  I sat down in my shiny black office chain, playing with a marble, when a call came through and to my surprise it was dad.

"Hello son"dad said with a strict voice.

"Hello dad, good afternoon"I said.

"I want you to come home,tomorrow insha Allah" he said and ended the call without waiting for my response.

"What the **ck" I snapped.

I called my Assistant to cancel all my meetings and schedule for the day and also get my private jet ready for tomorrow.

My name is Hisham Aliyu Arab, the son of Alhaji Aliyu Arab and khadija  muhammed, I'm the CEO of AA and Co industry.

I'm the second born and the only boy in our family, The first is Ya Asiya, she is married to ya sameer(ya samy) with two cute children(hannan and Al-Amin), well then me and the last born AKA mummy's pet layla.

I arrived at Nnamdi Azikiwe Airport at exactly 5 pm. As I made my way through the crowd, I saw one of dad's friends uncle Abubakar and his son Salim.

"Good Afternoon uncle"I greeted while squatting down a little bit to give him respect, because I respect him like my own father.

"Lafiya kalau Hisham (fine hisham )how are you?"he asked.

"I'm fine uncle"I said with a slight smile.

I did the bro hug with salim and talked a little and they left.

*****

As I came into the house I was embraced into a bone crushing way by layla.

"Oh! ya Hisham I've miss you so much" she said while squeezing me tighter.

"I miss you too layla"I said while hugging her back.

"Where is mum?"I Asked layla.

"She's in the kitchen" she said while letting me go.

"Okay let me go and freshen up"I said while carrying some documents that I came with.

I headed to my room to have a hot relaxing shower and performed ablution.

I came out and prayed zuhur then hooped on top of the bed and drift into slumber.

*****

I woke up by the sound of adnan calling for magrib prayer, I woke up and headed to the mosque and prayed when I came back I saw mum,dad and layla in the parlour all sited.

"Good evening mum and dad"I greeted.

"Ya kake Dan da na?(how are u my son)...you came back and didn't even come to say hello koh?"my mum said with pure love unlike my dad.

"No, mum is not like that, when I came back I was tired so I decided to rest"I said while scratching my head.

"Enough!"dad snapped.

"The reason why I called you here is to tell you that you're getting married in 2 weeks to Alhaji Abubakar's  daughter" my dad said with a straight face.

"But.."I was cut of by dad.

"No buts, I've made my decision and it's final"he said and left the parlour.

My mum looked at me with pity  while layla's eyes were filled with tears.

I stood up and carried my car keys then went out and drove to ya Asiya's house.

***

     I rang the bell and impatiently waited when the door finally opened.

"Laa!is that you, Hishi?"ya Asia asked surprisingly.

I ignored her and made my way, into the house.

"The name is Hisham not hishi, and yes it is me, I came back today"I said with annoyance.

"Why are you so angry?"she asked with a raised eyebrow.

"I'm getting married" I said and ya Asiya screamed in excitement.

"Finally, my hishi luv is getting married, Alhamdulilah, but why do you look so unhappy? "she said with excitement and confusion.

"I don't even know the girl, dad just told me I'll be getting married to his friends daughter"I said furiously.

"What!"she semi yelled.

"Yes, dad likes controlling my life"I furiously said.

"Which friend?"she asked curiously.

"Alhaji Abubakar Maigoro"I said.

"OMG, you're getting married to Farhanna?"she asked with so much enthusiasm.

"I don't even know the name till you said it"I said with annoyance.

"Well her elder sister is married, that means she's the one, because they are the only two girls in thier house, then their brother salim which is your friend" ya Asiyah explained.

"You know I don't give a damn about girls, they are all sluts and after money, and you know I don't love cox it's a waste of time"I said, with a serious face.

"But at least give this one a chance, please for me, and maybe it's for the best, just pray to Allah and tell him all your worries and insha Allah everything will be okay" she adviced,  which made me calm down a little bit.

"Okay fine but just because of you, and thank you"I said with

appreciation.

"Your welcome baby bro"she said while pulling my cheek.

"Stop it, and where is your husband?"

I asked.

"He's on a business trip"she said with a sad voice.

"Anyways, would you like to have something to eat?"she asked.

"Yes why not, I haven't eaten your food for along time"I said.

After I finished eating, I drove home

With less of worries...
