Enjoy your day guys!!

Habibat’s driver horned at the gate as they returned back to her house, there was a very terrible traffic on their way so it took them so long to get there. Habibat crossed her leg as she was sitting down at the back seat and looking at her phone, her personal assistant didn’t dare to say a word just looking out and looking at the gate man opening the gate.

The driver drove inside the compound, parked very well inside the garage and off the car’s engine. Habibat opened the door, carried her handbag on the chair and getting down from the car. Her personal assistant carried a small box with her own handbag and going after Habibat, carrying the bag and walking behind her.

Sound of the door opened and closed. Habibat and Personal assistant entered to the studio and wanted to be going upstairs which was her house when her manager saw her and ran to her, calling her name and stopping her.

“You came back, you too have seen how our schedules for this week are. Very tight—--“Habibat just passed beside him without saying a word and going upstairs.

“She is not in good mood now!” Habibat’s personal assistant said silently to the man and climbing the staircase with Habibat.

“Why are you back then? Oh! This is your own house, that is just boy’s friend house” The man said with low voice and looking at their backs as they were climbing the staircase.

“Habibat! Be fine okay, drink coffee or tea and be fine so that we can shoot tonight” The man said with loud voice and turned back.

“Guys! Guys!! No off days again, return back to work!” He started saying around and clamping his hand. The man was very a troublesome person and unserious person. Even his behaviors and personality had shown from his dressing, so funny.

Habibat and personal assistant entered into the living room as they got upstairs, Habibat just faced her right hand side and going to her bedroom.

She held the handle of the door, pressed it down and opened the door. She entered into the room and closed the door. She dropped her handbag and phone on the bed, off the heel shoe that she was wearing and fell on the bed with bad mood

“He hasn’t called me since morning. I have been looking at my phone since, not even a call from him or text message” Habibat said with sad voice.

“Did he mean what he said? No! He didn’t” She rest her head on the pillow and looking at her phone.

“He can’t break up with me like that! He will call me, it’s just our normal fight” She said, closed her eye and thinking.

Few minutes later. She heard a sound of a text message on her phone, she quickly opened her eye and took the phone. She unlocked it with fingerprint and a saw a text message from Basit’s father.

“He is the one that sent me a text message” She quickly opened the text and wanted to be happy.

‘I SEE THAT YOU ARE UNABLE TO PACK ALL YOUR BELONGINGS FROM MY HOUSE, BUT I HAVE HELPED YOU. THEY WILL BRING THEM SOON TO YOUR HOUSE AND THIS IS THEIR DRIVER’S MOBILE NUMBER’ Phone fell down from her hand as she finished reading the text message.

“Sending my belongings, he mean it?” She asked herself with sad voice.

“Who is there now?” She asked with loud voice as she was hearing a sound of knocks at her door.

“It’s me Ma!” She heard the voice of her personal assistant.

“Come in, the door is open and what do you want?” Sound of the door opened and closed, she entered with her phone in her hand and looking so sad.

“Ma! I am sorry, Ma! There is something, eh!! Ma” The lady didn’t know what to say just stammering.

“Talk what is it? Why are you stammering?” She asked with loud voice.

“Have you seen it Ma? Sorry if you have seen it, I am just so sad” The lady said.

“See what? What the hell are you talking about, please leave if you can’t talk” Said out of anger.

“Your boyfriend Ma, and his ex-wife. They are the one trending on social Medias now, your boyfriend proposed to her and they have come back together Ma----“

“Let me see it! Let me see it” She jumped up from the bed and holding her personal assistant’s hand.

“This is it Ma! They are all over the social Medias and blogs” The lady said as she was showing her the video.

“He meant it! He really meant it!!” Habibat fell on the floor and started crying bitterly, it was now that reality just hit her and believed it was true.

“Twelve years! Twelve years!! Twelve of my life and I jeopardized it” Her personal assistant sat down with her and petting her.

“I caused it! I caused it! My career caused it, twelve years!!” crying bitterly that mucus was coming out from her nose and with saliva.

“Sorry Ma! Sorry Ma!! Don’t beat yourself too much, have it” Habibat collected the tissue paper from her personal assistant, tearing it anyhow and using it to clean her nose.

Raheem just posted it social media so people were just seeing it and the bloggers too just started reposting it. Even some of the bloggers had started talking about Habibat and saying fake things about the condition that she could be right now.

“Ah! Ah! Miss Habibat’s boyfriend has gone back to his ex-Wife, he proposed to her today after begging her for what happened in the past” A female worker in Habibat’s studio said with loud voice and she entered the shooting room.

“What are you talking about?” A boy asked and all of them in the room walked closer to the lady including the manager.

“I am telling you the truth, the video is all over the social media, take a look” The lady played the video for them on her phone and all of them were watching it.

“No wonder, Habibat’s mood is somehow!” The manager said.

“With this, this week is mess already!” He said with loud voice.

“Let even say this month is mess, because with this Habibat can’t do anything----“A lady was talking when their manager shut her up.

“Stop saying nonsense and return back to work!” He said with loud voice and going out.

“Which Work?” The lady said and they continued watching the video.

A man came out from the shooting room, wanted to be going upstairs when two men entered with two different big traveling boxes in their hands and rolled them inside.

“Good afternoon! Stay there, how can I help you?” The Manager said and passing frustrations. They all love Habibat so it was sad to see her unhappy.

“We are here to see Miss Habibat and to deliver her belongings to her” One of them said.

“He had sent her belongings, I understand!” The man said and looking at it.

“Any payment to make?” The man asked the agency.

“Not at all Sir, he had paid us Sir. We will take our leave now” The guys turned back and going out.

“Miss Habibat’s belongings?” A lady said and standing beside the man, looking at the bags.

“Just tell the cleaners to pack them to the store room first, can’t take these to Habibat now” the man said with low voice.

“I understand and alright Sir!” Two of them left the place and went to different directions, the lady went to call the cleaners when the Manager returned back to the studio.

The lady got back there with their two male cleaners, two of the carried the traveling bags two! Two and rolling it to the store room downstairs where they use to keep their shooting materials and the lady too followed them.
