Airah

Good morning Mr. Basheer. I said cheerfully with a wide grin on my face as I entered his office.

Ahhhh.... Miss Ahmad. Morning. I must presume you had a great night and even better morning because your face says it all. He replied smiling at me.

Yes I did sir. Now that I've checked on you I will head up to my office. I told him turning to leave.

Have a nice day Miss Ahmad and Good luck.

Thank you sir.

I walked to the elevator happily. I woke up feeling very happy today. It's Thursday and the kids have been with me for two days now. They are not the most well behaved kids but they are the most amazing kids. I very much enjoy their company and they really like anty Safiyyah. It turns out Ramlah and Eeman attend the same school. So when Amal visited me with her. The first friends were elated to see each other.

I was brought out of my reverie when the elevator dinged and opened at the 14th floor. I skipped to the stairs as I  made my way to my office. I feel so happy that nothing can change my mood today. But how wrong I was.

I entered my office to be greeted with the scent of a perfume I've become familiar with.

'No it can't be' I thought. 'He can't possibly be back. No! Please God don't make it real.' Let this be a dream please, not even a dream a nightmare. I prefer having a nightmare than to see him' I pleaded.

But as we all know most of the time fate is against us, so as I opened the door to his office I saw him seated behind his desk his eyes focused on the computer on his desk.

I was unable to move or say a word as I stared at "my dearest boss from hell" mouth agape.

It's either you have a serious malfunction that has affected your jaws and eyes or you are more dumb that I've assumed.

Hearing his voice and words confirmed to me that I was in fact not having a nightmare. I quickly closed my mouth and cleared my clogged throat.

I dragged myself leg farther into the office until I was in front of his desk opposite him.

G..Good morning s..s..sir? I questioned not sure what to say.

Yes miss Ahmad. I'm having a good morning because unlike someone I'm not having any malfunction nor I'm I dumb. I see my absence has made you more lazy and uncapable.

I glared hard at him because the arrogant jerked hasn't even spared me a glance. All this time he has been looking at his computer screen.

Sir, I'm sorry to say but I've done my very best to do what was expected of me during your absence.

There was silence for some minutes and I could feel his eyes on me as I fiddled with the ring on my finger my head down. The silence was broken by  the monster's laughter.

'Huh? Laughter? What's so funny?' I thought.

He laughed until he had enough.

Miss Ahmad. I'll give it to you. You can be funny but hey dumb people are quite funny.
