Phone alarm started ringing continuously on a bed beside Somia. Somia removed her hand out from the blanket, doing like a blind lady and looking for her phone. She took the phone beside her, put it inside the blanket and off the alarm.

She removed the blanket, put her phone down and got down from the bed. Off her cloth, brought out the towel inside the wardrobe and going inside the bathroom. She opened the bathroom door, put the towel on the hanger in the bathroom, took toothbrush and toothpaste and brushing her tooth.

It was five clock in the morning. She set alarm to that time because for her to get to work on time and to avoid traffic jams that would be on the way. Her mother got to Somia’s door, came to woke her up so that she could started dressing for work.

“Who is there! Am inside the bathroom!” Said with toothbrush in her mouth and as she heard the door knocking continuously.

“It’s me your mother! Just came to wake you up, you know today is like your first day and won’t good at all to be late!” Saying with loud voice and standing at the entrance.

“I have been inside the bathroom already. Thank you Mom!” Said as she was washing her mouth with water. Her mother left and going back to her room.

She came out after few minutes with the towel wrapped all over her body, she dry her body with the towel, went back inside the bathroom and hang it on the hanger in the bathroom. She came out after few seconds, wore a long cloth and quickly performed her solat.

Few minutes later, she brought out the clothes that she wanted to wear and started dressing. She sat down at the front of the mirror and applying makeover. After finished doing the makeover, she cleaned her hand with wraps. Stood up, carried her bag and going out.

She first went to her mother’s room to greet her and took her blessing before going. After few seconds, she came out from her mother’s room and going out of the room. She had ordered a tax that would came to pick her and it had been outside.

She got down to the compound, opened the gate and saw the tax at a corner where he packed. Opened the door and entered, she had the driver greeted and started the trip.

*****

One hour and forty minutes later, the tax arrived to the company and drove in. Somia paid the driver and getting down. Ashar’s car too just arrived and him too was just coming out from his car when he saw Somia going to the entrance. He totally lost in thought, looking at how beautiful she was and how perfect the cloth fit her. He brought out his phone and started taking her picture as she was going inside and smiling, the driver was looking at him from where he was sitting.

Somia entered into the company saw those that just resumed too and came for the interview that the same day hugging the people that had been there and happy. She was just standing at a corner looking at them and replying those that were greeting her.

“Hello!! Young lady, you too have resumed today!” Somia heard a voice of a lady talking from her behind and the lady walked closed to the front. It was the second lady that they had an interview together that day. She was a little tall but had small status and baby face, she was beautiful too. With her status and her baby face someone could never knew that she had passed thirty years, she was thirty-three years old but looking like twenty years old girl even lower than that.

“Hi! Good morning but I have resumed since Thursday!” Somia Replied with lower voice.

“I just resumed today and sorry for the other time, I should have seen that you are not in good mood before throwing a question to you. I just want a friendship!” Saying with a lower smile.

“Am sorry too for the replied. Am Somia by my name and personal assistant to the CEO!”

“I have knew that since that day. As he entered its You he asked for and choose as he personal assistant. Well, am Semirat by name and am in Audit department, the head of the department!”

“Wow!! Head of audit department, their over all head!” Somia Said with surprise.

“No problem! Nice to meet you too!!” Somia was talking when she saw Ashar entering. Those on his way were greeting him and going. Somia and Semirat greeted him in chorused, Somia following him to the office when Semirat too went to her department.

“Why are you standing there? You should have collect the key from the secretary!”

“Sorry Sir, I don’t know that a key was with her!” Said with lower voice and looking at him opening the door.

“There is nothing to worry on, I leave with my parents and my sibling, so don’t be sacred!!”

“Not even that—-. It okay Sir!” Starring at the laptop.

“If it’s about the transport fees I can add to your salary or tell my driver to be dropping at your house everyday!” Looking at her.

“Not need that, I will know how to do it. Sir!”

“You will first come to my house and from then we will come together to the company, there will be sometimes that we will not come to the company and be working at home or go for a contract. So that is why I always want you as my both house and office personal assistant!”

“Okay! Sir, does it start from tomorrow?”

“Yes! I will be expecting you at home, also there is a place we have to go tomorrow for a meeting so prepare very for that!” Put his legs on the table and Somia just shook her hand.

*******

A young tall man with muscle, handsome but also looked like an irresponsible man. Walking around in a street and looking for a person. He was standing talking to the gateman that was guarding the house and questioning him some questions.

After few minutes, he left the place and entered into the car that brought him and driving out from that place. He got to a school not far from that place, got down from the car and entered into the school compound. He came out back after almost one hour, entered into the tax and described another place for the driver.

The driver stopped at a road side after two good hours that they had left the school. The young man got down, paid the driver up and leaving. He entered into a house looked like all those old house and the environment was like semi-Uber.

Another young man was inside sitting on the floor and eating rice, him and the man were friends and living together in that small house. The young man sat down on the chair.

“Can you imagine that I searched everywhere looking for Semirat but I can not find her. I went to her house the man that was there said that she had sold it and she had relocated. Also went to my son’s school, the proprietor said his mother had took him from that school said that they want to relocate. So Semirat relocated with my son without my knowledge!”

“All these are stories. Do you come home with money? That is the most important thing now because we need money for this house rent and I won’t pay again!”

“Everything that am doing now is how to get the money. If I see Semirat now, surely money will come and everything we are having problems on will be solved!” Said with loud voice.

“If it’s that then, I will tell the boys to start doing investigation about her, where she is living and your son’s new school. By next week or upper they will bring her information once you are sure that money will come out if you see her!”

“Off course money will come out. Just let me see her, I have nothing to do with my son or her but it’s money that I want!” Said with loud voice.

“I will tell the boys and work will start going on!” His friend said and continued eating
