Atif is in his office.

He is busy reviewing some documents which needs his sign or approval.

He is sitting in an elegant style swivel chair beside his office table.

He is so handsome in his business suit.

The suit was blue, sharp-looking, and well-fitted that made him look very handsome.

While reviewing the documents, he is chatting with Aliyah.

8:00 pm Thursday, in Asia

Aliyah is lying on her bed now.

For she is very tired and lost appetite to eat dinner.

In addition to that, Aliyah is feeling down the whole day for her supervisor at work make her embarrassed in front of their co-workers.

The supervisor gave Aliyah a very difficult task and Aliyah failed to do it according to what the supervisor wants.

Because she is feeling down she got this feeling that she wants to talk to Atif.

For Atif always cheer her up with his good advices.

Aliyah decided to send message to Atif.

“Hello. How are you?” Aliyah’s message.

“Hi. I’m fine. And you?” Atif replied.

“I’m feeling so bad now.” Aliyah answered.

“Sad to hear that. And why?” Atif replied.

“I’m always like this if I left alone in the house.” Aliyah is telling lie for she can’t tell the real reason why.

Aliyah can tell to Atif what she feels right now but not the real reason that it’s about what happen to her work on the whole day.

For from the start what Atif knew is she is just a plain housewife.

She is just taking care of her kids.

Unemployed.

INSPITE of the fact that she have no kids and not even a wife for she is single.

“I will suggest that you should talk to your husband and tell about that.” Atif suggest to Aliyah.

“I just can’t.” Aliyah replied.

“But why? He is your husband, he should know about that.” Atif answered giving an advice to Aliyah.
