Chapter 8

"Ruma will you come back" musbahu said while hugging Ruma tightly.

"sure, I'll be back soon" Ruma said while breaking the hug.

"Ruma thank you" Abdul malik said and she simply smiled with a nod.

"Nagode (thank you)" her Aunty said while hugging her in tears and she simply smiled yet again.

"Ruma be safe" her uncle said and she nodded.

"we'll miss you" zarahu said while hugging her tightly.

"I'll miss..." She was about to speak but she was cut short by Amir who has been watching the family farewell drama as thought by him.

"Enough with all this emotional drama, please we need to go" he said and Ruma immediately pulled out of the hug. She stared at her brother one last time and gave him an assuring smile, a

"Where are we going to?"She asked.

"Dubai" he said coldly and she laid her head on the window as tears flowed. suddenly she fell asleep, she was extremely tired.

"Hey get up" He said while spanking her arm hard and she got up and followed him without uttering a word.

He took her to an airplane hanger where his private jet was parked, they got to where the private jet was and Ruma clutched her little Ghana must go bag tightly as the door to the jet flinged opened and she and Amir and some other guy walked inn.

"Sit there" Amir said, pointing at a sit and she just abidedcand sat there.

"Amir who is this?" the other guy who was mynah asked on seeing Ruma.

"it's Ruma" he said almost in a whisper to Mynah.

"Wow you never told me she was beautiful" Mynah said to amir and by then they were already in the air and on their way to Dubai.

"she is? I didn't see" amir said without sparing Mynah a glance.

"Hmmm... I'll go say hi to her "Mynah said walking over to ruma who was busy crying like a baby. She was hurt.

" Hi I'm Mynah" he said to her as he sat on the sit in front of her.

"Hi " she said while wiping the tears on her cheeks.

"you're Rumaina, right?" he said.

"yes " Ruma said with a shrug.

"Why are you in tears?, What happened?" he asked while passing her a tissue that laid on the desk next to him.

"oh I am?" she said while wiping the tears on her cheeks.

"Don't worry it'll all be OK" he said while passing her water and she gulped it down immediately.

"Thank you" she said.

"OK I'll leave you now, I can see you're sleepy" he said as he stood up to leave on seeing how sleepy she looked.

"I'll see you later" he said walking back to amir who was busy typing away on he's laptop whilst Ruma was asleep.

After a long flight to Dubai they were about to land so Amir woke Ruma up and asked her to tighten up her seat belt for they were about to land so she thighed it and sat up clutching onto her Ghana must go bag which had few cloths in it, After a while they landed and they were welcomed by paparazzi who were taking pictures of them but their body guard tried to push them off And they were able to push through but they arrived at a place where they were stopped by press who threw questions at them.

"Mr Amir sheik why did you try to destroy the village back in Nigeria" a reporter asked as they pointed the mic directly at Amir.

"How did they find out?" he whispered into Mynah's ear.

"I don't know" Mynah said as he signaled the body guard to keep them off, Ruma on the other hand was frightened by the crowd which welcomed them and some even tried to push them.

"Mr amir sheik, she's the same girl who stopped you from accomplishing your plans. why is she here?" a reporter asked referring to Ruma.

"she's my maid, she's here to work in my house. I hired her for she needed it" he said emotionlessly with a smirk on his face and Ruma couldn't believe her ears. His maid, she thought as a tear dropped down but what did she expect from a ruthless man like him.

"let's go" he said to his bodyguards who pushed the reporters away enabling them to pass through and bam!, They were in the car and on their way to Amir's house where he leaves with his sister alone.

The drive was long and silent because Mynah left for his own house, after a while they arrived at his mansion which was a very big one and it was beautiful and magnificent. it looked like a house in the movies for it was too good to be a house.

"wow" she said out loud but thank goodness Amir paid no attention so he heard her not.

"Get down"  he said with so much authority to her and she immediately came out clutching onto her Ghana must go bag,they walked inside and she was in awe as she saw the beautiful house before her ,it looks beautiful.

"Bro!" a girl of about Ruma's age shouted as she walked down the twin stairs and hugged him tight and he hugged her back.

" Yasmin" he said while hugging her.

"Hey" she said to ruma as she pulled out of their hug.

"Hi" Ruma said as she looked down shyly.

"I'm Yasmin" she said passing her hand towards ruma for a hand shake and she was about to when amir stopped her by saying the cruelest sentence ever "ewww!, Yasmin. don't shake this diseased village girl" he said pulling his sister away from her and that made Ruma's heart shatter into piece.

"why do you say that Amir?" Yasmin said with shock Audible in her voice.

"Because she is" he said coldly.

"And I don't want you around her, she's disgusting" he said grabbing his sister.

" Alex!" he shouted the name of a man who came running in.

"Sir" Alex said while bowing His head before Amir.

  "Show her to the servant quarters" he said to Alex who nodded.

"Tomorrow bring her to me and I'll assign her duties to her" he said to Alex who nodded as he ushered Ruma to follow him into the servant quarters where she was given a room which she shared with an old lady who seemed old enough to be her grandma, she laid her bed and set to sleep for tomorrow will be a long day.
