CHAPTER L

Thanks alot guys for understanding. You are the best❤❤❤❤❤

Its a double updates something 😊😉😉

Mansir sat calmly ,waiting for American rahama. It's already 10 minutes now since they talked on the phone. His argument at home with his dad added more fuel to his anger. He didn't understand why his dad would all of a sudden deny him his inheritance. Isn't he the first child? Aren't first child entitled to more shares?. Then why would his dad unexpectedly deny him his right. This morning, he had confronted his dad to give him his share cos he is about to start up his own business but his dad never agreed to his wishes. Alhaji ringim, told him to resolve the current problems they were having first before he can ask for anything like inheritance. After all, he was the one who put them into this mess in the first place.

Alhaji ringim had already given up on Mansir. He now understood that the boy is filled with jealousy and hatred. Those two things can never vanish from him. What angers alhaji ringim most is that this jealousy and hatred he has, more of it if for sadiq. What has sadiq done to him? Isn't it supposed to be the other way round?.

Alhaji ringim never wished for all these calamities. How will the world take it when they find out all their problems?.It saddens him that he cannot handle his children anymore. So many Years had gone by and both are already adult now.

Mansir's phone rang in his shirt pocket. He picked it out and saw a call from American rahama.

" hey"

" I'm inside  the park already. How can I see you " she asked

" just wait for me by the gate. I'll be with you in five seconds "

" OK but make it fast"

" Calm girl, I'm already coming " he end the call.

Mansir left immediately to the gate. As he got there, he saw her close to her petite red car. She looks confused . Mansir chuckled and called out her name.

She turn towards the direction. At the sight of him she sighed out in relieve.

" Finally" she said

" it's not as if I kept you waiting " Mansir rolled his eyes

" whatever. Let's get going"

They walk deeper into the park. They finally found a secluded area where thay can talk without any disturbance. They both sat down..

" I hope getting this place didn't give you much of a problem ? " Mansir asked teasingly

She playfully glared at him " of course it did. You need to see how I kept asking people for direction like a mad person"

He chuckles" sorry for the stress"

She waved him off " anyways, why am I here? "

Sadiq nodded " I'm getting to it already " he cleared his throat " I'm mansir once again and sadiq's elder brother "

" already aware of that "

" Thought a new intro might suffice " he smirked but upon seeing are glare he sobered up.

" for starters, I know you like my brother but unfortunately he doesn't like you and I'm quite sure you must feel heartbroken and angry right now. "

" that is my problem not yours" she gritted out

" OK fine, I know. You don't need to eat me raw"

" Look Mansir I really don't have time for any chit chat, just say  whatever you need from me "

" I want you to join force with us" he said seriously

She looks confused " Force? I don't understand"

" OK. I will be straight forward with you. I know you want revenge for what sadiq did to you and you will be able to get that if you join hands with us "

" and who is this 'us'you keep saying? "

" you will get to know them if you decide to join "

" but... But....why do you want to exact revenge on sadiq? I thought you said he is your brother? What has he done to you? " she doesn't understand this nemeses for his own brother.

Mansir's face is now etched up with a frown " he took everything from me, everything I hold dear to me "

" uhm.. Sorry for that but I don't think I can be in this with you guys. Yes he hurt me badly but he was sincere from start. I should be the one to be blame coz I put all these on myself"

" just shut up!" Mansir growled " listen to the nonsense you're saying. Why can't you see it that he made you fall for him and finally ended up tossing you aside. That boy plays with people's mind. To you it might looks that he was sincere with you but that was his game all along. He loves all the attention to be on him. Why can't you see that? "

Mansir's hot temper scares her like shit " i-i don't know why you're now angry with me. After all I'm not the one that did something to you"

He rub his face out of frustration. Why can't this girl just understand that he needed her to be on his side. He took a calming breath.

" I understand where you're coming from. I know you don't know exactly what that boy did to me. That boy took away the girl I cherished most, he took away my father's love and even in his absence he still has the right to take away what rightfully belongs to me "

" and what his that? " rahama asked

" My inheritance. It took everything away" his eyes were now blood shot.

She felt pity for him. How can sadiq be so heartless? She thought to herself. " I'm so sorry for that "

He shook his head " you've got nothing to apologize for. Now You See where I'm coming from.I want all the things he took away from me and I want everything back. I want rahama back and finally you can also have him to yourself. Don't you see where I'm coming from?"

She reasoned with what he said. But how sure is mansir about it? What procedure is he going to take to have them back? " but mansir, try to think about it. Sadiq and rahama loves each other so much and I don't think their is anything that can separate them"

Mansir grinned " that is where you got everything wrong. Sadiq doesn't love rahama. All he is doing to get me jealous and he has succeeded in doing that. He wants me to break and I will never give him the satisfaction he wants"

This whole thing scares her. She just pray she isn't about to do something she will regret all her life

" All I need from you is your approval. With you on our side, the job will be very easy "

She nodded " okay, I'm in. I just pray we will not regret this "

" Just put your trust in me dear. You will never regret making this decision "

***

The new secretary Sadiq replaced greeted the elderly man in front of her politely.

" how are you dear?" he asked

" I'm very fine, thank you. "

" is your boss in? " he asked

" Do you by any chance have an appointment with him? "

He shook his head " no"

" I'm so sorry sir but you can't go in. This are part of the protocol we follow" she said feeling sad for him. The secretary knew she had seen this face somewhere but she just couldn't pinpoint where. He look kind of familiar like those rich people that are usually shown on TV.

He felt bad " ok, I understand. But I'll like it if you do me a favor "

" what is that sir?"

" can you kindly go in and tell him that his father is waiting for him"

" FATHER? you're his father? I'm so sorry sir. I didn't know, please don't tell him I kept you waiting. I'm so sorry sir. Infact I'll take you to his office, immediately. This way sir" she didn't wait for his reply instead she direct him to the CEO'S office"

She knock on the door and waited until she heard a firm come in before going inside.

" Sir, there is someone here to see you"

Sadiq who was going through some files raised his head up " who is that? "

" Your father sir "

" My father? "

" Sadiq" Alhaji ringim entered without invitation.

" you !" sadiq pointed

" Son please we need to talk "

Sadiq shot him a hard glare " we've got nothing to talk about. Just leave my office right this minute "

" please son. Don't do this, think about your mother "

Sadiq paused at the mention of his mother. He glance at the secretary who was squirming from side to side. " you may leave" he said to her with that same glare. She need not to be told twice.

Sadiq then turn his attention to his father who is now sitting on the chair opposite him " I didn't ask you to sit"

" I don't need your approval on whether to sit or not " his father retorted back " you need to understand that this anger will not take you anywhere. You and I have a lot to talk about "

" stop saying that! We have nothing to talk about. Just leave me the hell alone. Isn't that what you wanted right from start? You wanted me to leave the house and I did. Just because I'm now rich you now think you have the right to show your face here. Who do you think you are? " he yelled

" I'm your FATHER!" alhaji ringim also match his tone of voice

" you're nothing close to a father to me so stop saying that!"

Alhaji took a calming breath,anger wouldn't solve anything " yes I know I wasn't good enough but son you need to understand me. I have alot going on in this head of mine. I don't even know the right way to think or

the right decision to take."

Sadiq snort " tell that to whosoever would believe you coz I won't. Just leave already "

" I understand you're angry right now, I really do and I don't blame you because I'm the cause of this anger. All I want from you son is your forgiveness. I need you to forgive me. If you want I can kneel for you"

" I never asked you" sadiq rolled his eyes.

" please son "

" will you stop making me feel like the bad person? Stop all this emotional tricks of your. I'm sick of it" sadiq told him.

Alhaji sighed sadly " tell me the truth sadiq, am I a worthless father to you? Do you see me as the worst father on earth? Do you hate me that much? "

Sadiq hit his palm on the table " of course. You're a worthless father, the worst father on earth and I hate you so so much that I wish you were never my father! " his words were too harsh

Alhaji broke into tears " please don't say that son , your words hurts alot"

Some part of sadiq felt a little pity for alhaji ringim but whenever he remembered all what his father and mansir had done to him, the hatred comes back again. It just so saddens him that he was destined to have such a father. No father will wish for the worst for their child.

It was now sadiq's turn to ask question

" Why do you hate me so much? why?. Is it because I didn't work with you in your company or is it because you never wish I was given birth to?. All my life, I have watched you favoured mansir over me!. You have always prefer him because you see him as the best son anyone would ever wish to have. Am I that bad as a son, what is it I have done to you that made you hate me so much, dad! " Sadiq asked this bugging question he has always wished to ask.

Alhaji shook his head " No!, no. Please don't ever say that again. I've never even once had any sign of hatred for you. I love you as much as I love Mansir. I'm only bad at showing it.Please believe me. I love you so so much"

" I don't believe you" sadiq shook his head disgusted " I don't believe anything you say. I will never believe."

" please son you need to believe me. Try to understand where I'm coming from. "

" I said I don't. I don't want to hear anymore. Just leave my office and don't ever come back " sadiq stood up and went to open the door disrespectfully " leave" he yelled.

Alhaji stood up with heavy heart, he gave his son one last look before walking out of the office. Sadiq jammed the door immediately alhaji left. He rested his back on the door and slide down to the floor. The is so confusing to him, he doesn't understand why his father felt that this was the right time to patch things up? Why now?. Life is so confusing.

***
