From Zowie To Zuwaira

Chapter fourty-three

Rayan

Today is our fifth day in Maldive and the team has arrived. Now we have less than four days before the D day and am yet to know where Mr Williams package is and its due on the same day of our presentation. I have traced way back till date but still nothing. Panda on the other hand has been scarce and I know for sure that she is avoiding me. Though I have also been busy so we only meet at night when it's time to sleep. I met her watching a movie last night and decided to join her but she made up an excuse and went to bed.
Today we are having a meeting with the team to finalize it all because everything is set up.
We had a long meeting everyone spoke well expect panda and Walid .But I was glad we had this meeting. I appreciated all of their effort they have all worked really hard. I also organized a small get together for them after the meeting . And while we where all seated I decided to send them all a little thank you to their accounts and there where all happy but I also got back an alert almost immediately. It was Walid he reversed me back the money before leaving the room in anger . We haven't exchanged any word since when he arrived.When he came he didn't reply any of the greetings people sent his way.And am sure the only reason he came for this meeting is because of Baba. I let out a sigh before getting up but panda held me back
I looked at her and she slowly shook her head indicating for me not to go after him.
"Let him cool off" she whispered in a way only I can hear him. We haven't spoken since what happened that day and I know I was wrong same way he was also wrong. I hated how we are drifting apart . This is not what I want,he is like a brother to me. I don't like this at all.
I ignored her and went out he was walking to fast. So I stopped and called out his name but he didn't stop.
I allowed him to go to his room before following behind after stopping by and getting him some food,it was obvious that he wasn't eating well. When I got to the door I didn't bother knocking I just turned the knob and luckily it was open. He was standing with his back at me drinking  something. I rubbed my head in frustration before angrily collecting the bottle from him

"Haba Walid,habaaa" I stated dropping the bottle.He didn't even spare me a glance before picking up the bootle and gulping it.
He sat down looked at me for some seconds before talking another gulp
I frustratedly rubbed my head before speaking. He was drinking,I know we adopted that bad habit a long time ago but we stopped why is he doing it again am very sure he stopped. What's happening
"What is wrong with you" I asked annoyed
"You know exactly what is wrong with me"he snapped back
"And that is no reason for you to drink,"I reminded
He just ignored me
I let out a long sigh before speaking
"Am sorry"I said I knew I was wrong,he was also wrong but I should have listened.
But he still didn't reply
"What happened"I asked and he angrily threw the bottle across the room and it chattered
"Are you asking me what happened"he yelled.
"I thought I was your friend,someone you call your brother and knew so well but I was so wrong,you have now proved to me am really nothing to you"he snapped
"Why are you saying this I know I was wrong for not listening but you where also wrong"I yelled back
"Walid don't make something so silly come in between us" I said and he scoffed
"Something silly?"he asked
"Something silly"he repeated.
"This is silly so am a joke to you now" he snapped
"Walid I think you are drunk"I just said
"You just don't get it do you"he sobered
"Even if I don't get it I do know I girl is never a reason for you to drink" I reminded
"Well you should have thought of that before going out giving your sister out to that doctor"he yelled

"What"I asked surprised
"What did you think I won't find out"he asked.
Okay how did he find that out
Did Dr tell him.
But doctor can't tell him.
Or Baba because I spoke to him about it 👀 but Walid wasn't even around when I did.
So how🤦🏻

"Let me save you the shame because you have no explanation "
"Walid am sorry but I did it for us ,I didn't want my sister coming in between us"I defended
"Yes you acted really mature"he said sarcastically
"Walid.."I
"Ayan I love her ,you have never seen me going helter skelter over a girl till her but you still had to spoil it after I was trying to get it back together"he stated I was about to talk but he didn't let me
"You didn't even asked what really happened you just jumped and acted all mighty"he snapped
Now I feel bad
I only kept shut and looked at him. He sat down opposite me and let out a sigh
"So what do we do know" I asked trying to help
"She hates me"came his reply
" I can talk to her"I added but he only shook his head
"You just don't interfere she is coming in few days and I will make it work" he said
"But you can help with Baba"he said
"Was he the one that told you"I just had to ask
