Chapter 4 3.

IQRAR

My mobile rings, annoying my ears the hell out of them. I chose to ignore it and push my head under the soft pillow.

It stops ringing and I sigh. I know the person but he also knows I am sleeping now. I do not understand how the hell that man is able to annoy the shit out of me again and again? Miracle!

He must be cursing under his breath, I bet.

He must be abusing you right now! My subconscious mocks me. Right anyway. He can and will abuse me for not answering his call. I can imagine him gritting his teeth.

The mobile starts ringing again and I force my eyes to shoot open.

"The hell!" I curse and crawl my hand up to the table. My hand roams around the table but does not find something like a cuboid.

The mobile stops ringing and I grit my teeth in irritation. I do not understand why they call me early in the morning, knowing very well that I am not a fucking early morning person?

"What the fuck!" I force myself to get up and glare at the table. My mobile is not there. I roll my eyes and then glance at my bed. I remove the sheet but do not find it there.

It starts ringing again and I quickly remove the second pillow from the bed. There it it, fucking annoying mobile!

I take it and answer the caller, "Morning."

"Morning? Do you fucking know how many times I've dialed you?" he barks as I push the mobile away from my ear.

God, his voice!

"I was sleeping! And why did you call me when you know I was never an early sleeper?" I fire back and I can imagine him clenching his jaw.

I know my friend very well!

"Fuck with your sleep! Have you forgotten about the case? All the files are with you only."

"Hm, I know."

"Then what the fuck are you doing there? Come here and fix them all!"

I roll my eyes, "I'll take an hour to get ready."

"Then force your lazy ass to work faster, understand?"

"My ass doesn't listen to me."

"Iqrar!" he yells and I have to suppress my urge of bursting into laughter.

"I'll email you the documents, fine?"

"Quickly!" and he cuts the call. I sigh and search for my laptop. I remember letting my laptop take a rest on the study's table. So lazy of me! But I do not regret it.

I walk downstairs and see the maids working. Not bothering to spare them an eye, I make my way to the study.

The door opens automatically as it senses my presence and I meet my favorite room. I look around the room and it is cleaned.

I remember last night I left everything lying in its place. I did not even pick them up because it is not my habit. I remember reading two newspapers on the couch and leaving them lying. I had left my laptop on that table as well. While reading about the company, I used some papers and threw them on the floor. The board and marker I had used had also been left on the table with the lid off.

But now everything was in its place and the whole room was clean. It is only the miracle of the maids of my house who keeps my house absolutely clean, even if I keep on spreading dirt all day, they do not get tired of cleaning.

When my eyes fall on the shelf, I walk towards it. I find my laptop as soon as I open the door. All the information is in this. And because of this, my friend will get cover from that company.

Without waiting, I sent all the information to my friend.

Anyway, a lot of time passed. Since this morning, my friend has been irritating me by calling me because he was irritated because of me. Surely he would be angry. And by delaying any longer, I would not like to increase his anger. For now, he did not say anything. But what if I delay more, and he comes to my house and kills me?

Tomorrow's newspapers will also have the headline that America's most famous lawyer's dead body was found in his house. After all, who is behind this murder? Keep watching News 24 to know more!

Oh god, why am I thinking like that? Who dreams of his own death?

I shake my head and look at the screen. He got the documents! That is great!

I then come out and see Margret. She is coming from the kitchen.

"Master, should I bring the coffee now?" she bows down, asking softly.

"No no Margret! I didn't even brush my teeth. I will come down ready. Then you serve me food-," I bit my tongue when I realized I had a meeting with one of my clients in a cafe.

"No Margret! I won't be eating anything, okay? I will get ready and go straight for work." I tell her and go upstairs.

I hear her saying, "Sure master."

I get ready, wearing a gray suit. I leave the mansion. My destination is the al fresco now. She would be waiting for me.

Was reading her case last night. She has some shares of the company which are paid up by her but still her shares have been forfeited. What shall I say now?

Evil has really increased in the world. She had sent an application for the entire seven hundred shares, which are worth seven lakhs. She says that all her shares are paid up, but her shares were forfeited by the company. I am surprised that by grabbing the money of the poor, what will they get except money?

Well, money is the only thing they need!

Reaching there, I find the lady there. She is sitting on the chair and continuously fidgeting her fingers.

I walk to her. She immediately gets up and bows down slightly, offering me her hand which I accept.

"Please sit, Ms Hudson." I say and she sits, following me.

"So, Ms Hudson, I read your case. You have all the evidence, using which I will definitely give you your share." She grins as she hears me.

I then lean forward, resting my elbows on the table and looking into her eyes, adding, "But apart from this, what else do you want to tell me that you also called me to meet?"

That grin vanished and she took a deep breath. Oh please, do not tell me she is going to fill my ears with negativity about the company. It has a high goodwill.

"First, please let me order a cup of coffee for both of us, may I?"

Coffee, my heaven! Please please call it-I want to scream but I have to control my emotions. Look at this poor guy, this poor guy has to come out with an empty stomach for work. I should huff all the time.

"Sure." I suppress my urge to grinning right now.

She nods with a smile and orders two cups of coffee. We wait for a few minutes and the waiter arrives with two cups of hot coffee. Perfect in this season!

I hold my cup, taking it near my mouth, filling my nostrils with its heavenly smell, touching its rim with my lips, sipping the hot coffee. And then I cannot help but grit my teeth when sweetness touches my tongue.

The coffee contains sugar!

What the fuck! I enjoy black coffee with no sugar only. I did not mind when I did not find it black but I did mind when I found sugar in it.

Keeping my face neutral, I look onto her face. She passes me a smile, enjoying her coffee.

So she likes it sweet? Oh, great choice, woman!

I scoff and put the cup back. It seems that my fate has not written coffee this morning. I wish I had let Margaret go to prepare the food. But I was in a hurry. But I should have woken up early. But I did not wake up early because I slept late last night. I wish I could fall asleep sooner. But if I'd have slept early, how would I read the case?

Sad life, right?

Looks like I have to forget my morning coffee. I have to do this. I wish there was someone to take care of me who would make me a black coffee without sugar and bring it here right now!

Are you serious? Oh c'mon, can't I wish for something impossible?

Anyway, come back to Ms Hudson!

I put the cup back on the table and look at her, wishing her to continue, "So, what did you want to tell me, Ms Hudson?"

"Actually sir, they threatened me." I did not say, as my silence gestured to her to continue.

"Sir, actually this is a bit personal but I want to let you know this so that you can easily understand this matter. Actually Logan is one of the partners of that company. Our marriage was fixed but I refused because I love someone else. When my shares were forfeited, I went to ask personally because I know it must have been done by him, and when I went there, I found myself right. He threatened me that if I do not agree to this marriage, then he is not only forfeiting my shares, but will also harm my company."

"Then you should have filed a case against Logan and not for the return of the shares. If you do a case against Logan, then you will also be saved from his bullshit."

"By doing a case against him, I don't want to stretch the matter. I just want my shares because their worth is effective." She asked through her eyes.

I get her point. Women are always so tolerating, just like now! You have seen it. She is just trying to seek out everything, not wishing to trouble anyone. She knows he can harass her anytime, just like he is doing now, but as she wants peace, she wants to take the risk of him.

I can only sigh. Because I know she is not going to listen to me. She won't. Because if women are tolerating, then they are the queen of their own mind too. My words won't affect her.

Anyway, she is just a client and I will fight her case as it is my work. With that, I do not keep a large heart which can worry for strangers.

"As you wish. I'll fight the case. Don't worry, you'll get your shares back." I assure her. She grins and her hands suddenly cover mine, while she confesses, "Thank you so much, sir. I trust you."

You should!

I just nod and get up to leave with her. She moves to leave and so do I, but the mobile starts ringing again. I stop and pull out the damn noisy mobile.

Yeah, my ringtone is irritating sometimes but I enjoy it, as how it scares everybody around me.

"Hello." I say, sitting back on the table. It is Davidson, my colleague. Probably called me to ask about the Da'ud company's case.

"Good morning, sir."

What's good this morning, someone tell me please?

"Actually, I wanted to let you know about Daud's new company. We have owned the company with no trouble, sir. In addition, the proofs are now safe in your cabin."

"Great news." My reply comes curtly.

"How was your meeting, sir?"

"It was good. I'll be sharing the information with y'all once I get there." I say and receive his reply, "Sure, sir," before disconnecting the line.

I put the mobile back on the table and heaved a sigh. My eyes fall in front and I notice a girl. She is attractive and that is why I could not take my eyes off her.

I frown when I see her discussing something with another girl, who is standing next to her.

Both of them are on the other side of the road. Not so far, so I can recognise they are young. The one who is in denim, is older and more beautiful. I swear, I cannot take my eyes off her.

She is really beautiful. I cannot recognise the color of her eyes from the distance. Her lips are moving continuously. She is discussing with that younger girl and it is secret and deep as I can catch the cautiousness on her face and a bit of worry.

She then looks in her direction. I follow her focused gaze and see a guy. He is talking with another guy. Both of them are having a conversation when he scratches his neck. His hand comes down and soon, I spot the same girl passing by the man's side.

Her hand stretches forward and she smoothly holds the keys which are resting on the table. The man does not even realize it as he is really busy with talking with that innocent-faced guy. Such a bad use of his innocence!

And the girl is a thief? Wow? Never imagined that beautiful girls would even start stealing cars. And I must praise, nowadays, even thieves have started dressing well and perfectly.

I chuckle and shake my head when the boy leaves from there. So the mission is complete?

I get up and walk towards the parking lot side of this al fresco. My steps are steady as I reach my reach and there I see those girls.

They are discussing once again. Sparing some time, I choose to watch them. I stand next to my car and lean against it, watching those nervous girls. Seriously, watching nervous people with shaking bodies is another kind of satisfaction. It feels so good and funny at the same time.

Just like now,

The younger one is only looking at the older one. First she tells her something and then pulls the keys out of her pocket. And there I notice her height. She is long and her legs are thin. I take a deep breath when my mind flashes an image of her long legs.

Unfortunately they are covered now.

Her hands are shaking when she pushes the key in the car's keyhole. Her hands tremble a bit when she applies some force to twist it.

She is scared and she should be. So she knows this is wrong!

I watch her keenly as she grins at the girl when the door opens. Both of them then slid inside and soon the car left the place.

Whoa, so the girl knows how to drive? As I noticed her taking the driver's seat.

Cool!

I also slide inside my car and leave for my office. The girl's face flashes in front of my eyes but I choose to ignore her.

I know I am attracted to her and I want to fuck her because she is beautiful. I could not see her face clearly because of her continuous movements. But I can never forget that body.

Damn, she is made for it!

And I think I'm gonna need her soon. I will.

I reach my office. My steps never halt as I near my table. The files are resting on it. As soon as I grab the file, I hear the sound of knocking on the door.

"Come in, David," I say as I notice him from the corner of my eye, and he enters.

"David, I've some other work before you ask anything. Check the footage outside Homieee al fresco."

"Sure, sir, is there any proof?"

My eyes start moving side to side as I realize what I said to him. Taking a deep breath, I continue to lie, "Yeah. You'll catch a thief there. I want all the information about that thief, get it?"

"Yes, sir." And he leaves the cabin.
