The Rightful Heir

2: Mrs. Hamdaani

Ayzal Hashim

Just as i understood his reason behind sneer, i instantly averted my eyes downward to the white tiles. What was i doing? I know this is wrong but believe me as much as i wanted to avert my eyes, i was spell bounded by his powerful aura more specifically his enchanting deep blue eyes.

"I...i am....." And for the very first time in my life i stuttered and trailed off as his rude remark interrupted me "Woman! Do you even know how to speak? I don't have all day for your one bloody sentence. Speak clearly or just get out..... stupid" he mumbled the last word in his mouth but i heard him clearly.

I closed my eyes tightly and clenching my dupatta «Scarf/ Shawl» in anger. I took a deep breath to control my anger and dared to look him in the eye "I think you are mistaken Mr. Hamdaani or just you don't know what goes around your company. I received an email from your company that i am hired as a nanny of twins" I replied politely with a very small curl of my lips but rightly enough to burn his arrogance.

He was maybe going to be my boss but he don't have a right to insult me. Just who is he to call someone stupid? People do said right about him, Yuhaan Hamdaani is a very rude person with some serious anger issues and i can't believe that i for the time in my life stuttered infront of anyone beside my parents.

"Who hired you"? I frowned at his question. What does he meant by that? I was going to reply him when he interrupted..... again "Forget it just get lost" His scary, deep voice boomed in the hallway so loudly that a cold shiver rustled down my whole body. I averted my eyes down and as i took my bag from the sofa, i heard a familiar voice "I did"

"I did" As Mr. Hamdaani was facing me, i could see his changing expression. Once his angry eyes now darkened at the voice and hands clenched in a tight fist.

I frowned and tilted my head to look at the source of his darkened eyes. My frown deepened as i saw Mrs. Hamdaani. Why the sudden change in expression at his mother's voice?

"Who allowed you to poke your nose in my business"? His voice was murderous as he fully turned to his mother. So damn rude!

In this 25 seconds face off,

Mrs. Hamdaani's stern expression didn't changed "Are you sure that it's your business?" She asked arching her right eyebrow and with that i felt a drop in temperature. She exhaled a deep breath before uttering seriously "I am not here for any type of argument, let's talk in your study, shall we"?

Mr. Hamdaani didn't uttered a single word, he just turned and walked upstairs with his clenched hands and sore, dark expressions. Following him Mrs. Hamdaani too walked upstairs.

I took a deep breath which i didn't knew i was holding till now. Finally the tension from before subsided a bit "Sorry Dear i have to leave you here alone. I am going to prepare some snacks for Mrs. Hamdaani" I turned as i heard Mrs. Khalid's voice.

Should i leave or not? Nevertheless, I passed her a smile before replying politely "It's okay Mrs. Khalid! I will be alright alone"

"Have a seat and i will send you another cup of tea as this is cold now" saying this she made her way towards kitchen and i sat down as i nodded my head to no one in particular.

In no time, a hot cup of tea was placed infront of me, I mumbled a small thank you with a smile and picked up the cup.

As i was going to take a sip, i heard a beautiful baby voice yelling in the hallway "I am back home"

"Jeez zimal. Can you not do this everyday"? I turned and saw a boy around 5 or 6 years with fingers in his ears and scrunched face. Next to him was a little girl of same age as him in a very cute blue uniform. Well both were in uniforms and were holding school bags.

These two must be the children of Mr. Hamdaani. Zaroon and Zimal "It's not my problem that you are boring" Zimal replied sassily whereas zaroon glared at her. I see, on the footsteps of his father.

My lips curled in a wide smile as i stood up and walked towards them. They both turned maybe because they heard my footsteps "Who are you"? Zaroon was the first one to ask. His voice was stern, eyebrows were furrowed together and eyes were judging.

I raised both my brows at him totally amused. Photocopy of his father, Zaroon had spoken the exact same words as Mr. Hamdaani "I am your......new friend" I don't know what to say other than this, I doubt Mr. Hamdaani will hire me.

"Really"? Zimal loud excited shout made me look at her. With two pig ponytails she is adorable, a cute little princess "We are not your friend" I smiled hearing Zaroon's stern voice.

"Leave him pretty girl, I am your friend" Zimal came and stood infront of me gesturing me to sit down. I sat on my one knee and passed her a smile. Without saying anything else she placed a kiss on my right cheek and pulled out her hand for a handshake.

I shook her hand surprised and she gestured me to kiss her right cheek. I kissed both her cheeks and her smile got widened as she shouted clapping her hands "Yah!!! Now our friendship is sealed" She is way too excited. "You are too cute to handle" I softly yet lovingly pinched her cheeks.

I turned towards Zaroon and he rolled his eyes at Zimal before passing me a glare. A chuckle left my mouth at his expression. He is damn cute!
