Five

Before the wedding

Yusuf POV

He was checking the papers on his table when his office door was yanked opened abruptly.

His best friend- Royhan entered with a scowling face and muttering some harmless curses under his breath yet he heard it perfectly.

He was surprised because his friend often curses. Something must have happened. He chuckled lightly. 

"What happened bro?" he asked him curiously with his brows knitted together. 

Royhan raised his head up and said, "I met a devil in disguise today". 

"Devil?" He asked while Royhan nodded comically as he held his red ear. 

"I saw a beautiful lady this morning when I was coming. I was awestruck with her beauty, then I wish to meet her and.." he stopped, looking embarrassed with a flustered face, " Then, I followed her to the mall, waiting for her outside. On her way out, I talked to her and she abruptly left me standing. Then I followed her to her car but mistakenly hitting her on her butt. Sincerely, I didn't mean to" Royhan stopped talking, he was on deep thought. 

What has happened to him? Yusuf wondered. 

"Then?" Yusuf waited patiently for him to continue. 

"Then...." he trailed off, scratching his head. 

"Then what happened?" Yusuf was impatient now. 

"She slapped me hard on my face" he replied cheaply, holding his right face. 

The palm print was there. 

Wow, the lady must have smacked him hard. Yusuf thought. 

Yusuf was shocked, his mouth was opened, he couldn't close it. 

"She what!!" Yusuf stuttered with widened eyes. 

"Slapped me, after that she kicked me on my..... Then she...."Yusuf was short of words, he was surprised. The lady was an iron lass. 

" This girl was really intimidating, she gave me chill around my body. She... Bang her car door on my face, only God saved my fingers from the car, it would've been squashed And I tried to tell her I'm sorry but she took off making all the dust to cover me. " He shook his head as if he wanted to forget the bad event. 

"What if she is the princess you've been waiting for" Yusuf teased him. 

"What" he shrieked, "she will kill me or probably skin me alive" he blurted out but there was hope in his eyes. 

"You know? nobody knows tomorrow. Allah...." Yusuf words were cut off by a loud bang on his door. 

"Enter," he said sitting straight on the chair. 

A fair tall lady strolled in, with her head up. She was pretty intimidating. She glanced at the corner of the room and her expression changed to furious. Yusuf looked at Royhan and he looked like he wanted to pee on his body. 

"You!!!" her loud voice boomed out, "what the fuck are you doing here?" she asked, grinding her teeth together in anger. 

"Have I not make it clear that we must not cross paths again?" she took a long step towards him but stopped and shook her head. 

"Before I forget, I came for you Yusuf," she said and smiled at Yusuf while Yusuf adjusted his tie. 

She walked towards him and took a seat without him offering her. She sat and crossed her leg. Picking her perfectly manicured nails as if it was the most important thing in the world. 

She cleared her throat, changed her sitting posture and looked at me hard on the face. She was intimidating, yeah he knew but this girl was... She slightly intimidated him.

A badass. 

"You know Sophia Ali" she stated in a statement, his heart limped a bit. His angel. 

"Yeah" he answered with a smile playing around his lips.

"Good" she looked pleased.

"Bros" she called, "I'm here because of her, she is my best friend and my twin sister from another mother." He intended to ask her but she interrupted him with a raised brow. Hang it. 

She shunned him. 

"I'm here to give you a warning," she said, her voice changed from sweet soft to deep threatening voice. 

How could a girl have an intimidating voice? He wandered. 

"My baby girl Sophie is the apple of my eyes. If you hurt her-I mean a strain of her hair. I swear to God I will find you and if I?" she shook her head as if she was pitying him.

He gulped, losing his belt a little. 

"I will break your bones slowly, after that I will kill you then I will put you under my bed for you to decay before I give your bones to my Shepard dog. And trust me, I never talk without sticking to it. I'm a girl that always fulfil her promises and that's my promise to you. Do you understand? "She asked and he nodded his head quickly for her to know he was following her threat. 

" Now, let's leave the story for the gods. I'm Maryam - Sophia's one and only friend." she chimed. Was she bipolar? first, she was threatening him now she was exchanging pleasantries. 

"Erm... I'm" she raised her hands up 'leave it'

"Sophia is a meek girl- she has the courage of a tigress, adorable as a kitten and brave as a lioness" she smiled knowingly at him. Her eyes twinkled with happiness. 

"Do you want her to love you?" She asked while he nodded.

"She's obsessed with kdrama, her favourite colour is blue. She doesn't have a favourite food also. I hope that helps you to gain her heart" he was really grateful for giving her the information he needed. 

"Well" she dragged, "if you want her to be happy with you, just buy her chocolate." She grinned cheekily. "She doesn't like materials thing, you can't use the money to buy her love but just use attentiveness and chocolate. I swear to God she will fall for ya. Trust me" she stood up.

"That's all that I came to tell you but if you make her cry. I swear to God who created me, I will become your worst nightmare" she threatened. 

Ohhhhh
