--------------Indonesia, Palembang
---------------------- Night after the wedding
Everything about her screamed innocence. From her looks down to her quiet movements, I really, honestly couldn't believe that someone as beautiful as she was, was mute. She probably had the voice of an angel and the angels were jealous so they took it away from her, just saying. I tried being as nice as possible to her earlier today, GrandPa wanted me to and the glorious smile on her grandfathers face made me realise that it was worth it. The sacrifice was totally worth it.
"Khalid" Sophia called as she walked over to where I stood beside the car. Sophia was the child of my mother and Brandon, she was still in college, UCLA, studying medicine. She looked a lot like my mother. She was beautiful, just like her. "Hey" I answered as she stood beside me. I was waiting for Faryah to say her good byes to he

----------------Indonesia, Palembang ------------------Next day( airplane ) I shut my eyes tight as the plane took off. This was my very first time and I was so scared, too scared. I had already heard about plane crashes and now I was on one. I didn't want to die young. I felt a warm, tough hand on mine as my eyes were shut. " Breathe in" I heard his deep voice say and I instantly obeyed. " Breathe out" he said again and I obeyed and slowly opened my eyes. His touch sent shivers down my spine. I really wanted to know more about Khalid. He was nice to me, right from the start. He even selected a table under the stars for us to eat, it was a very beautiful view. He was quite really entertaining also and slightly funny. " This is obviously your first time" He said and gave me a small charming smile. He was a very handsome man. I nodded and smiled as I looked at my lap. The cake Ummi packed for us was here.

-----------------Los Angeles, California. ---------------------- three days later, Olyster textiles. I had lots of meetings to attend to, Brandon was out of town in a meeting with our investors. I had already spent four hours in the office and I needed a break. I dialled my secretary and waited for her to come in. " Yes sir" she said as she walked in. " Uhmm can you order me a beef burger and fries, with a large milk smoothie from the nearby eatery?" I asked and she nodded and walked out. I still had a lot to do, I had contracts to go through and sign. There was a soft knock on the door and it could possibly be Ethan or my secretary. " Come on in" I answered, not taking my eyes off the contract I was reading as I twirled a pen in my hand. I heard the clicking of heels and took my eyes off the piece of paper to see who it was. " It's been a month Khalid" she said as she stood to look at

-----------------Los Angeles, California. -----------------------Same night ( Ella's apartment ) " Hey" she called as she pulled me into a hug as she opened the door. I held her by the waist and hugged her tight. She fit perfectly in my arms. " Come on in" She said as she pulled me into her apartment. It was still the same, it was pretty big, it had a pretty nice balcony with a great view of the city. It was painted white, with pink square tiles on the walls and floors. " I picked some funny movies, Jumanji?" she said as she pushed me further in. She was wearing normal shorts and a white tee shirt with cute slippers. " I've been wanting to watch Jumanji" I said as I followed her to the kitchen. " There's also Johnny English and I picked Parabellum out too" she added as she handed me a plate of brownies and another huge bowl of pop corn. " Take these to the living room, I'll take four Cans of Soda from th

-----------------------Los Angeles, California --------------------------- Present day( Olyster textiles) " So why did Brandon call this urgent meeting?" GrandPa Julius asked as we walked together to the Board room. I had no idea why he was calling a meeting, he only said it was urgent and all board members needed to attend, he was already in LA, on his way to the office. " I have no idea GrandPa, I guess it's something good" I said as we walked into the board room and were greeted. I took my seat beside GrandPa and we had to wait for a little why before Brandon arrived. " Good day sir" the others greeted as they got up as Brandon entered the room. " Good day everyone please take your seats, Son, GrandPa" Brandon said as he hugged both I and GrandPa. He considered me his son, even though I couldn't bring myself to see him as father figure for me. " Everyone I called this meeting to announce that we will

--------------Los Angeles, California ------------------ Same day( Olyster residence ) I slowly opened my eyes and tried adjusting them to the light. I looked at the familiar small dark eyes that were looking deeply into mine. I really couldn't believe I could ever see pity in his eyes. He was soaked. He saved me. After pushing me into the pool. Strange. " Are you okay?" I could feel a hint of concern in his voice. I nodded and rose my back up from the bed. I wasn't in my room, this obviously looked like his room. There were different photographs all around, the room was painted white and I was lying on a big white bed. " I couldn't let you die, I'm sorry " He was apologising, sincerely. Maybe this was the start of our friendship I guess. I smiled at him and watched him smile back. I tried avoiding his gaze as he stared at me intentl

-------------Los Angeles, California. --------------------Same night( Olyster residence) " Khalid why the hell did you embarrass our new clients?" Brandon raged immediately he saw me walk inside the house. I wasn't in the mood for this, if he wanted to argue, I was going to use my fists. " You were going to do same if you knew who he really was" I answered back. " Khalid son, what happened to you, where have you been?" I heard mother panic as she ran down the stairs. It was just 7pm. How could that be late?. " What's all the noise for?" GrandPa Julius as he came out of the study. Why were they all ganging up on me. " Son, are you okay?" Mother asked as she checked my face for any bruises. " I didn't get into any fight mother, I needed some time alone, that was all" I answered. I had gone to the mall to get Faryahs diary and left to my hideout. By a small lonely stream. " Father, Khalid here declined a

--------------Los Angeles, California --------------------- Same night (City Hall) I loved the way Mufti Menk spoke. His topic today was on the proper way to take care, to maintain a good relationship and show love to your spouse. His words got to me and all the way through the sermon all I could think about was Khalid. I had to admit to myself that I was falling in love with Khalid. He had something in him that drew me closer to him. I wanted to get to know him more. The sermon ended at 6 sharp, Sophia said she was going to be waiting for me outside. I walked out of the hall and stood outside towait for Sophia. I checked my phone for any text from her and I got nothing. Maybe she was stuck in traffic or something. I decided to go back inside the city hall to sit and wait. It was getting late. Where could Sophia be?. I really hoped she hadn't forgotten about me. Ting!

-------------- Los Angeles, California. ------------------------- Next morning( Lily Specialist hospital) " Khalid, you should go home and rest, the night was long" Mother said as we came out from the lab, after donating some blood for Faryah. I didn't want to leave her side. I didn't want the culprit to attack her again. " Yes Son, you should go, I called up Sumayyah and let her in on what happened, they'll be praying for her" Brandon said as we all walked side by side together. " I need to go to the police station first, Sophia's coming with me, the culprit needs to pay for what he has done to Faryah" I said as I held my arm, where the syringe went through. I wasn't a big fan of needles but anything for Faryah. " Sure, I'll cooperate" She answered and I smiled at her. "I'll be expecting you at the office later on son" Brandon said as he patted my shoulder. I wasn't going to concentrate well in the off
