----------------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

------------ Los Angeles, California -------------------- Same morning( Olyster residence) I made sure the hot water ran all through my body parts. Thank goodness we were occupied with Faryah, no one noticed my bandaged hand. I got out of the shower and tied a towel round my waist. I took my dryer from the shelf, dried and styled. I used my body lotion and used my antiperspirant. I used disinfectant on my knuckles, it was healing, I didn't need a bandage anymore. I took out a grey blazer and black pants, with a black body hug shirt. I put them on and wore my socks, shoes and watch. I put my phone in my right pant pocket and looked at the mirror. I knew I was a very handsome man, I took most of my features from my mother, others from my father. My father. I didn't want to think about him now. I walked out of my room and passed by Faryah's. I unbelievably missed her. I rarely talked to h
