3: The Twins

"Come give me your bag" I said as i helped her to take off her bag and she smilingly let me do it "Zimal you are a gone case now" Zaroon uttered so seriously that for a second i was very stunned. Saying this Zaroon made his way upstairs.

As i was looking at Zaroon i saw Mrs. Hamdaani coming downstairs and for the first time i saw Zaroon smile "How are you my little lion"? She asked as she kissed both his cheeks lovingly.

"I am good Grandmother. You just wait in the hallway, i will be back in a minute" saying this he ran away which i assume is his room.

"Grandmother" Came an excited shout from beside me "Awe My little princess" Mrs. Hamdaani uttered as Zimal ran straight in her arms. Both were smiling widely but as soon as Mrs. Hamdaani's eyes met mine, her face was back on stern expression. I see from where Mr. Hamdaani took of.

"Faris" She called out and in just seconds a boy around my age came running. Curly hair, black eyes and

5' 7 height with a fair complexion, he greeted her "Hello Mam! You called"

"Lead Miss Hashim to Yuhaan's house office" Saying this she nodded her head at me and i gave her a polite smile before following faris. He was too shy to make an eye contact. He silently led me to the house office.

"Thank You" I politely thanked him as soon as we stood outside the room and in return he gave me an boyish smile. With that he made his way back downstairs.

I knocked the door and after i got a faint come in, i walked in closing the door behind me. He was standing beside the big glass window looking outside. His hands were in his pants pocket and his back seemed stiff as if he was standing in this same posture for an decade now.

"Hello Sir" I greeted. He didn't replied but turned towards me giving me his full attention. And for the second time in the day i met his beautiful eyes. Fearing i would lost myself in them, I immediately averted my eyes to the tiles.

From my peripheral vision i saw him staring at me intently and what seems like hours he finally averted his eyes and sat on the chair gesturing me to sit on the opposite chair "Your full name"? In this pin drop silence his voice boomed in the room.

I sat down and politely answered his question looking straight in his eyes "Ayzal Hashim" Well he is going to be my boss and no matter how much beautiful his eyes are, I have to maintain professionalism. So, Ayzal rule no.1: No getting lost in his eyes.

I pulled out my CV from my bag and placed it infront of him. As much as i could gather from the media of Mr. Hamdaani, i knew i have to give another interview. So, just in case of emergency i kept my CV in my bag.

He surely was impressed as he raised his eyebrows at me "Your Education"? He asked as he opened the file "Last Semester B.S English"

"Any siblings"? I shook my head negatively as i replied him back "No! I am the only child of my parents but i have a cousin brother who lives with me"

His eyebrows slightly got creased at my reply as he asked another question "Why"? This wasn't an necessary question but i have to answer him. Don't i? "His parents died in a car accident 2 years ago so from then on he lives with me"

"Any experience with the children"? After my mother, my aunt was very close to me. Her death was a big bump in my life. I felt like i lost my mother again. My bother Ramish was only 2 when he lost his parents, he didn't even knew what he lost. My aunt has done many things for me, I can't comprehend her good doings but i can still look after her son like my own.

"Yes! I teach children in school and my own cousin brother is only 4 years old" He immediately frowned asking again "Your brother is only 4"? I was confused at his astonishment but nodded my head at him. He closed my file and stood up going towards the window. I too stood up. For whole 1 minute he stood their tapping his foot as if he was thinking hard.

"Job is yours but you have to shift here in my Mansion" I felt like a bucket of cold water has been poured over me and felt myself stiffened immediately. I took several seconds to compose myself before i confidently refused his offer "I am sorry Sir but i can't do it"

The second i refused i was met with his glare "Did you just rejected my offer"? His voice was utterly dark and angry as if i was the first person in this whole world to refuse him. I slowly nodded my head at him and his expression turned murderous. What is his problem?

For a whole 1 minute his glare was stilled on me until he decided to open his mouth "Reason"? He asked as if he is going to bury me alive "Firstly i have my brother who has only me as his family, I can't leave him alone and secondly, Are you forgetting in which type of society do we live in? I..........." I trailed off as his sarcastic chuckle resounded in the room.

"What a foolish reason" I narrowed my eyes at him, he was insulting me....again. He continued "Your cousin can live with you here and for your second reason, This world doesn't care about anyone then why should you"? In a way he was absolutely right but living with him under the same roof is not sitting well with me.

I was in my thoughts when his voice interrupted in between "Salary will be double" I frowned immediately. As much as the offer is tempting but the question is why is he so adamant to hire me now when he wasn't some time ago? Unknown to me, he wasn't adamant but irked with my refusal.
