Iqraam 

I had called Shumayll and told him to check up on Ruqayyah when the call cut abruptly 

i had tried calling her after that and after 2 hours, she decided to answer!

it was Wednesday night , meaning we were returning tomorrow and the race was on Saturday 

i must admit, i was shocked to know that she was worried about this race 

"as salaam" she said and a smile made its way on my face 

taking a seat on the kitchen chair, i propped my head up on one of my hands and held the phone in the other 

"was salaam, how are you?" i asked as i pulled the fruit decorated tray to me 

"Alhamdulillah- how are you?" she asked, a hint of playfulness in her voice 

"I wanted to ask you to book me a meeting with Oneil Agarwal" i said and plopped a piece of pine apple in my mouth 

tasty!!

"Oneil Agarwal?" she asked me 

"yes, he is the CEO of OA construction works" i said and heard faint voices behind her 

"Ruqayyah where are you leaving!?" 

"Ruqayyah, this is no way to treat guests-" 

"I will be there in a minute-" replied Ruqayyah 

who were they? 

while i waited, i helped myself some apples

mmmmhhmmmm delicious 

"There is no such name in the company visual log book-" she replied 

"What? oh wait- yes, yes its not there-" i said remembering that he was my new client 

"Hes the new client-" i explained eating another piece of apple 

"How come i never got a call?" she asked me 

i chuckled 

"He went to the office and Mark handled it- he might have forgotten to tell you" i replied 

"Oh okay- what are you eating?" she asked me 

"What?" i asked her 

how did she know? 

"You were talking with something in your mouth!" she replied 

"Ohh" i hadn't realized 

wow where are my manners? 

Ya Allah! 

"Sorry-" i said sheepishly, this time placing down my fruits 

"So? what was it?" she asked me 

"Apples" i replied as i stood up 

"Fruits?" she asked me 

walking out of the kitchen, i laughed 

"No- apples are also known as vegetables!" i replied sarcastically 

she chuckled

"Oh cool, i have to go-" she said hastily
