CHAPTER XXVIII

                                    

                                          
Alhaji was going through some documents when a knock on the door interrupted.
                          
" come in" he said and the person behind the door went in. 
                          
As the person went in, with wrinkled brow he asked " what's with your knocking today?. I have always known you to always barge into the office "
                          
Rahama shrugged and have her seat " I thought you  might be having a meeting coz last I could remember you told me you're going to be having a meeting with your new investors"
                          
" oh yes, they've gone already " he replied 
                          
With a surprise expression " they left so quick? "
                          
" yeah"
                          
" but I hope everything went as planned? " she queried 
                          
" Hm, well I can't say it went too well but it was fair though "
                          
This got her alarmed " so, what now? Are they not going to invest here again? "
                          
" They demanded for more interest after all I tried explaining to them"
                          
She felt bad for him." so sorry dad. More investor would come, in shaa Allah" she touched his hand in a comforting way. 
                          
Alhaji had prayed that this meeting should end well ,he knew how this things were with the Judo's company. They are well known for their love for money and he knew it was going to be hard to win their hearts. when they aren't satisfy with what they were offered, they ends up not doing business with that company. They are always insatiable. 
                          
" thanks dear. Anyways,what brought you here? "
                          
A bright smile flamed her face at his question " guess what dad? "
                          
" what? " he asked confused 
                          
" just guess"
                          
" you know I don't do guessing " 
                          
She sighed given up " OK. Do you remember  my best friend, the one I usually call Sana? Back then ?" 
                          
Alhaji rake his brain trying hard to remember her " don't tell me you're talking about sakeena. That charming and calm girl? "
                          
" Bingo" she click her finger " yes, the same one "
                          
" what happened to her?" alhaji asked scared
                          
She chuckles " no , it isn't what you're thinking "
                          
He calm down. She was like a second child to him and he regrets not finding out what led to their departure. 
                          
" so what happened to her then?"
                          
" we are finally friends, again. I called her last night to apologize " she smiled 
                          
" really? " he asked with raised brows. He was surprised. Rahama is a type of person that hates to apologize first, she nevers does that. So this utterance of hers really surprised him. 
                          
Could it be that she is turning a new leaf? 
                          
" yes dad. I called her yesterday and she didn't even sound angry nor rude"
                          
" well, that's good. I just pray that you don't end this new friendship which you two are going to build same as you did back then and you never told me what actually happened " 
                          
She slightly scratches her neck " it nothing serious dad. I was just being childish back then"
                          
He snort " childish? You weren't only being childish, you were stupid"
                          
She was hurt " dad"
                          
" yes dear, you were stupid. You know I will always tell you the truth. I just pray that you've stop all your bad ways if not you need help"
