Afraid To Fall In Love

...Of The Past 2

Minal

I couldn't take my mind off the issue. When ever I see him Salma always comes to my mind.why am I so curios, I wanted to find out how much he loved her from Mahmud himself, I wanted to see what she looked like, I wanted to know how he got over her or does he have any feelings left?

I hated my situation, I was always told that my curiosity will be the death of me one day, I think that day is here, I desperately wanted answers, I am sleep deprived but I thank God it was a Saturday, if you ask me, I hate this job of mine I cannot wait for it to be over.

Not to forget the preparations for Amma's wedding, how time flies, we've gotten everything ready for the previous week, and I Minal Abubakar was going to be the made of honor and of course  I had to look the part,

I was in Mamie's room all excited running my mouth about Amma's wedding when Mahmud came in, we said our hellos because we couldn't just ignore each other in front of Mamie.

He found a nice spot in front of both Mamie and I to seat,

"I want to talk to you about something" he said sounding very serious,
So I picked up my coffee mug and stood up to leave,

"No it concerns you as well" he ordered,

My heart kept skipping beats trying to figure out what it was that concerned me, because I knew clearly how Mahmud is trying to ruin everything these days,

"I will be travelling for a while" he paused,

"Where, is it for work?" Mamie asked,

"No not for work, I just need to clear my head for a while, somewhere far away" he stated,

"Haba  Mahmud has anything gone wrong, when are you going? Are you taking your wife along? How many d..." Mamie kept on with her questions before she was interrupted,

" no Mamie calm down, I just need space, and I am not taking her along, its just for a week or more"

" then why can't you take your wife along" Mamie insisted,

" Gaskiya Mamie I can't follow him, I can't miss Amma's wedding, not after all we planned and you know that I am her best friend I cannot just leave " I pleaded

"Okay fine, you can stay but it means Mahmud can only travel for a week and that's it" she paused for a while, "when are you leaving?" She asked,

"I am leaving for Morocco tomorrow, everything has been booked by my secretary" he replied,

"Why this soon?, Is something bothering you?" Mamie asked worriedly,

" No I just need the break that's all" he replied, leaning back in his chair,

I couldn't care less in fact I was so glad I wouldn't see his face for a while I felt like a huge burden had been lifted off my back,

Mahmud

I knew her friend was getting married because she wouldn't shut up about it but I never knew it was the week I planned on going away, my heart skipped a beat at the mention that she was the maid of honor, I wish I could stop her from going or take her with me to Morocco but then the reason I was going there in the first place was to get away from her.

I went into my room to pack the little I was going to need for my holiday, I called Amin as soon as I was done so he could take care of the office in my absence, and also drop me off at the airport tomorrow morning.

Alhamdulillah! I was so excited to get off the plane after a couple of hours, i dislike being seated in a single spot for a long time, but I would endure it all for Morocco.
