Chapter 101: Chapter 101

The door opened automatically for Somia and Semirat and entered MMO Company, because of Ibrahim that was in the hospital it was two of them that were coming to work together and it was hospital they were coming from.

“Good morning!” Two of them greeted the secretary as they got to her post and she replied, Semirat moved the attendance book closer to her and signed on it. She gave the book to Somia and going to her office.

Somia shifted the book to the back as she finished signing, carried her handbag on the cabinet and going to her office.

She opened the door as she got to their office, entered into the office and closed the door.

“Is Ashar not coming today as well?” Somia said with low voice as she saw that Ashar hadn’t arrived.

She put her handbag down on the table and sat down on the chair, she opened the laptop after few minutes and wanted to start working on the files she left behind yesterday when she saw a mail that the Five Hundred trillion naira contract had been approved and they should start working on it.

“Oh! This contract has been finally approved!” Somia said and reading the mail.

“The companies have started sending their proposers, so fast. Ashar should forget about Iqmat’s matter and let us work on this contract because I alone can’t work on it!” She was scrolling up and down, reading the mail and talking.

“AAU Company is in the list, and number one in MMO Company’s list. It’s the one they want to give it to!” Somia said with loud voice, and changed her look. AAU Company was her uncle’s company.

“Uncle too is concern about this contract!” Somia put her figure in her mouth and thinking.

“Five hundred trillion naira contract is very huge amount, apart from that there are also many advantages under it and I am sure Uncle won’t want to lose this because of some properties that are just like an additional load for him” Sound of the door opened and closed, and Ashar entered.

“Good morning!” Ashar greeted but Somia didn’t respond, just thinking.

“I think this is an opportunity for me to collect my father’s property back from him!” Somia said inside her mind.

“Somia! Somia!! Are you okay!” Ashar asked with loud voice, and walked closed to her,

“Hmmm! Yes! Yes!! Grab it!” Somia said loudly and laugh that Ashar got scared and shifted back a little.

“Are you okay?” Ashar asked with low voice, and looking at her.

“I am fine, I am good!” Somia said with low voice.

“Are you okay? Are you sure?” Ashar sat down on the edge of Somia’s table and looking at her with a lovely eye.

“I received a mail that the five hundred trillion naira contract has been approved” Somia said.

“Yes! I received the call yesterday!” Ashar replied with low voice, and starring at Somia.

“I see that AAU Company is the one number on MMO Company’s list, it’s the one you want to give the contract to right?” Somia said with low voice.

“Well let me say yes, maybe it’s the one that father wants to give it to. But that doesn’t mean, we still have to look at some quality” Somia looked at Ashar.

“AAU is my Uncle’s company, Abubakar Akeem Umar’s company” Somia said with low voice.

“Oh! Oh!! It’s true!” Ashar said with low voice. Somia held Ashar’s two hands, and looking at each other.

“Please! Please!! Put me in charge of this contract, lets me be the one that will work on it” Somia took a breath.

“I see that this is a big opportunity for me, and the only way to collect my father’s property back from my Uncle. I know that he will want to do anything to win this contract, so this is going to work for me and maybe this is the reason why I am in MMO Company”

“Please Ashar! Give me the power on this, let me do this for my family and to make them happy. Give me the order and go ahead, please!” Somia said with low voice.

“Done! Anything you want is done, and I support you!”

“Ah! Ah!! Thank you!” Somia jumped up and hugged Ashar tightly.

“Just be careful, I don’t want anything to happen to you!” Ashar said with low voice, and Somia just smiled. Somia released herself from him after few minutes and sat down back.

“I will arrange a person for you that will assist you, I don’t want to have anything to do with it so that nobody will has any opportunity to come to me for any help but you” Somia giggles.

“Thank you! I need to make a call please” Somia took her phone and going out from the office, sound of the door opened and closed.

Somia walked far from the corridor, and calling the laundry guy. She removed the phone from her ear, and calling the guy again.

“Hello Somia, sorry! I am busy, how far?” The guy said with low voice as he picked the call.

“I have found a way to collect my father’s property back from my uncle!” Somia said voice.

“Oh! So what want are we doing, who are we killing or kidnapping?” The guy said with loud voice and nervous.

“It’s none of the above!” Somia replied with low voice.

“Okay! So tell me now!” The guy was at his working place and his office there.

“There is a contract that worth five hundred trillion naira and government just approved it, and its MMO Company that its working on it”

“Alright! I am with you!” The guy said with low voice.

“My uncle’s company is among the company that want to get the contract, even its number one that MMO Company wants to give it to. So now, I have begged Ashar and he has put me in charge of the contract, so all the power is now in my hand and he is not interfering in it at all. So I think this is a big opportunity for me, because uncle too won’t want to lose that huge amount of contract so he will want to do anything I ask for”

“Oh! Somia, this is fantastic and a good plan, Wow! Its will really works because we all know that your uncle doesn’t like to be a loser in anything”

“Exactly!” Somia said with loud voice, and smiled.

“What I called you for is that, you know how deadly my uncle is. If he knows I am the one in the charge of the contract because two of us will later have eye contact, and also he see that I am putting him under a condition he may wants to do something or kill me”

“You are right! That is what he will wants to do!” The guy said.

“So I want you beside me always. I don’t want police but the person I trust and that is you, and also you are a member of AMONTEKUN (YORUBA WARRIORS) so there won’t be a problem if anything happened or anyone died because you are a law agency too”

“So I want you to be protecting me!”

“No problem at all! I am coming to your working place right now, and work has started!” The guy said.

“Lets it be tomorrow, resume tomorrow and I will be expecting you!”

“No problem Somia! It’s both home and work that I will be still finished with it, because we all know your Uncle!” The guy said with loud voice.

“Off course! I want you beside me twenty-four seven!” Somia said.

“No problem Mama! You will see me at the hospital tomorrow morning!” Somia hanged up from the call and calling her mother.

“Hello Somia! You forgot something?” Her mother asked as she picked the call.

“Mom! I have found a way to collect my father’s property back from my Uncle!” She said with low voice, and smiled.

“Way! Which way is that? Hope there won’t be a problem?” Her mother said with low voice.

“There is nothing to worry about Mom! I am doing this for us, and I will do it” She said with loud voice.

“I will be telling that when I am back, just call you to let you know that God as showed me the way to pass, and I am happy” Somia said.

“Alright! When you come back!” Her mother said with low voice.

“Yes Ma!” Somia hanged up from the call, holding the phone and looking for few minutes.

“Hmm! This game is going to be interesting, Uncle! Let see who will know how to play the game better!” Somia smiled with franking face, turned back and going back to the office.

“Iqmat! Iqmat!! Didn’t open her door since yesterday, I am scared!” Iqmat’s mother said with loud voice as she got down to the living room and from upstairs, and fearing.

“She didn’t open the door, what is all these?” She said and talking to her husband.

“What if she has killed herself? What if she has killed herself inside?”

“Calm down woman! Nothing is going to happen to her, she will be fine-----“Iqmat’s father said with low voice.

“That is what you will be saying because nothing concern you! A child that has attempted to commit suicide two times because of some unreasonable things, so what else she can't do” She said with loud voice.

“I don’t like all these! If I know that she doesn’t like Ashar and before thing to turn out like this, I will say that you should let Suleiman do it and find another girl from Perfect Billionaire for Ashar too. Iqmat has a flexible heart, and that is why I always fear about her” She was talking when Iqmat’s father’s phone started ringing and it was Suleiman calling.

“Hello Daddy! What is going on again that want sister Iqmat want to kill herself!” Suleiman said with loud voice.

“What are you talking about? Kill herself as how?” His father asked with loud voice.

“She sent a text message to me one hour ago said that ‘This may be her last message to me, that the world has been on fear to her and she is not happy. That it will good she leaves because she has been leaving in sadness, and nobody cares about her happiness at all. That she is leaving so that she can be happy” Suleiman said with low voice.

“Iqmat said this? Oh my God!” Iqmat’s mother shouted.

“You know what father! Take sister Iqmat out from the picture, and I am already to marry anybody that perfect billionaire gives me. I just have to do this to make my sister happy” Iqmat’s father had felt disturbed.

“Even I am coming home next week, i am ready to stay here so that Sis can go back to California. Please do that father, I will call you back” Suleiman hanged up.

“You heard that! Please do something on time!”

“Nothing can done, the wedding must hold. It’s beyond my capacity!” Iqmat’s father said with low voice.

“What are you saying? Do you want me to lose my daughter. Suleiman has agreed to represent this family and marry any lady given to me, so get another lady for Ashar too and leave my daughter out of it!” Iqmat’s mother said with anger.

“The wedding doesn’t supposed to between in this family, its supposed to be between Ashar and another family. But I and my friend fought for it, it’s a serious fight I am talking about here. So with that we can’t take this to the club, nobody will listen to us even it will be an embracement on us and our family too” Iqmat’s father said with low voice.

“What! How could you do that?” Iqmat’s mother said with loud voice.

“It’s because of friendship, you and Ashar’s mother are friend from childhood and same here so this what we think!” He breathe out.

“Right now, it’s I and my friend that can find the way out by ourselves, nobody can help or even listen to us!” Iqmat’s mother sat down on the chair.

“I don’t think there is any way-out, than the wedding to hold!” He said with low voice and looking.
