If you spend your time hoping someone will suffer the consequences for what they did to your heart, then you're allowing them to hurt you a second time in your mind. Remember this, nobody can hurt me without my permission. May The Almighty help and guide us all to do good deeds?

RECAP

"Are you alright Nasir?" She asked while scanning through his body like a mother who has been told her favourite son had had an almost fatal accident.

"Yeah, I'm fine Salma, thank you, what can make me not fine" Nas said, rolling his eyes and his expression going back to how it was earlier.

After few minutes, Ella has already cleaned his wounds and plastered the deep scratch.

"Ok, Nas, you should meet Mr Charles at the staff room.

CHAPTER SEVEN
Third Person's POV
"Mmhhmm" Nasir nodded after Jackson told him to meet Mr Charles at the staff room.

Hammad, Jackson and Salma followed him, they all stood outside while he went inside.

Mr Charles was sitting on a desk beside a window, looking at his face, one will tell how angry he was.

Jax was already in the staff room when Nasir walked in, he stood with a straight back, folding his arms with his head held up high, he had an annoying smirk on his face, he turned when he heard the footsteps of Nasir, he looked at him, smiling, he bit his lip and turned back.

Nasir walked to where Jax was standing, he stood really close to him, his shoulder would have touched Jax's if he wasn't a few inches taller than him.

Nasir lowered his head a little bit, gnashing his teeth, he said "I am your type, Abram Jax"

He immediately lifted his head when Mr Charles coughed.

"Abram Jax and Muhammad Nasir, you both disrespected me" Mr Charles said "I didn't expect this from you, Nasir, I've reported the case to the principal, your parents have been called, the school can't tolerate this"
He said in one breath.

"...meet Mr Macaulay in his office" Mr Charles said.

Jax and Nasir walked outside, Salma's eyes were red, she was at the verge of crying, Jackson and Hammad were just looking at her.

"What's the problem Salma? Nasir asked immediately he was out of the Staff room.

"What's wrong?" He questioned, looking at both Jackson and Hammad

"N-nasir, I'm really sorry..." Salma said while tears were rolling down her face

"...I didn't mean to, I-I-I..." She was trying to talk when Nasir just smiled and said "keep quiet, okay? We'll talk later, sshhh" he said in a calm voice.

Salma's tears kept on rolling down while Jax and Nasir were in the principal's office.

Mr Macaulay looked at both Nasir and Jax, he just smiled and said "Muhammad Nasir, your parents weren't even in the city, they just arrived, few hours back, do you know that?" He asked Nasir

"I don't" he grumbled

"They'll be on their way soon, Jax, your mom's on her way, she said your dad's a little bit busy"

Mr Macaulay called both their parents to the school. Mr Abram is the school's PTA chairman, a very rich business man, rumours have it that he's a drug dealer but no one has been able to get any evidence against him, he's a very powerful man in the community and around the country. The status of Mr Abram gives his son, Jax, the freedom to do whatever he wishes at anytime. Jax has caused havock in the school, right from his Junior years. Mrs Sarah Abram is also a wealthy business woman, she was once a model, she deals in fashion designing, she's a very beautiful woman, she has long silky, dark hair, a figure 8 with an average height. Mrs Sarah Abram is truly an epitome of beauty. Jax has an elder sister, Sophia, she's also a very beautiful and lovely girl, just like her mother. She just graduated from college, she studied Business Administration to help her dad at one of their companies in the country, Jax is also a commercial department student, he'll take a business course and help his father after his graduation from college.

Mrs Sarah Abram just arrived at the school, she was in a navy blue knee length tight gown, with long sleeves, she held a lighter shade of navy blue hand bag with black high heels. Her hair was loose on her shoulders, being a fair lady in navy blue, she looked really good. She had heavy make up on too, a simple expensive ear rings with a black wrist watch. She looked gorgeous, younger than her age.

She brought out a pair of sunglasses when she came down from the car.

The staff room was downstairs while the Principal's office, upstairs, she was walking past Salma and Nasir's friends (Jackson and Hammad) when they greeted

"Good morning ma" they all greeted her in unison.

"Don't you think it's already afternoon..." She said while looking at her wristwatch.

"... it's afternoon" she said looking up from her wristwatch.

"How are you doing?" She asked

"We are fine, thank you ma" they all said

"Nice" she said while walking upstairs.

"Ooohhh, Mrs Abram, you look good, as usual" Mr Macaulay said while he stood up and stretched his arm.

"Mr Macaulay, thank you, you don't look bad either, younger than your age?" Mrs Sarah said, questioningly while shaking his hand.

"Have a sit please" Mr Macaulay said.

"Good afternoon ma" Nasir greeted Mrs Sarah

"Good afternoon boy" she replied, looking at Nasir and her eyes shifted to Jax, she looked at him, smiling.

After a minute of silence, Mrs Sarah Abram broke the silence saying "What happened with my son this time?"

"Your son fought" Mr Macaulay answered her "...again" he added.

Immediately, there was a knock and Mr Muhammad entered the office, he was in an Ash expensive suit, he had to go to the company's branch immediately after this meeting.

"Good day Principal" He said in a serious voice, he looked at Mrs Sarah Abram and said "...Saraahhh, Sarah Abram..."

"Wow, Mr Muhammad" she said while looking up "it's truly you" she added

It seems Mrs Sarah Abram and Mr Muhammad know each other.

"...it has been a while, Mrs Abram" he said in a lighter tone and they all laughed.

"I'm sorry to interrupt but Mr Muhammad, you can take a seat" Mr Macaulay said jokingly and they all laughed.

"I guess you know each other" Mr Macaulay said while looking at Mr Muhammad.

"Yes, I know Mrs Sarah, for quite a few years now" Mr Muhammad said.

"This is my son, Nasir, Nasir Muhammad, my only son and only child" He added, his eyes filled with pride looking at Nasir, he tapped him on the back and sat down.

"I must guess this is your son" Mr Muhammad said.

"Yes...yes, Jax Brenda, my second child" Mrs Sarah Abram, her face beaming with happiness and immediately she frowned.

Mr Muhammad stretched his arm to shake Mrs Abram's hand, "...it has been a while" he said and then also shook Mr Macaulay's hand.

"You need to talk to your sons" Mr Macaulay said.

"Nasir and Jax, narrate what happened, one by one" Mr Macaulay added.

Few minutes and they all narrated their parts of the story.

"Why will this little incident make the two of you fight? Mrs Sarah Abram asked the both of them.

"Your son insulted Salma Ahmad by saying what he said and he..." Nasir was still talking when his father interrupted him because he was  raising his tone at each word he uttered.

"Mind your tone young man" Nasir's father, Mr Muhammad said.

Nasir looked down and kept mute, Mrs Abram said "Mr Macaulay, you need not worry about this, they both will apologise to the teacher, it's just a misunderstanding, a little misunderstanding, what do you think Mr Muhammad"

"Yes, that'd be a good solution" He said.

'...and the girl, talk to her, tell her to stay in her lane, Mr Macaulay, I saw her downstairs, Salma, the senior prefect, I've seen her a couple of times" Mrs Abram said "... isn't she the young lady on scholarship?" Mrs Abram asked

"She is the one, Salma wasn't involved in any way, she..." Mr Macaulay was talking when Mrs Abram raised her eyebrow, in a questioning manner.

"...sure, I'll talk to her" Mr Macaulay said.

"Can we leave now, I'll talk to my son" Mr Muhammad said while standing up, he stretched his arm to Mr Macaulay.

"...see you another time, thank you Principal" Mr Muhammad said.

"Bye Mr Macaulay" Mrs Sarah Abram too bid him a farewell.

Mrs Sarah Abram and Mr Muhammad walked out of the office together, they were talking to each other.

Jax and Nasir were walking to their classroom when Mrs Sarah called them and faced the two of them saying "Nasir and Jax, know that our families are friends, your fathers have had lotta business dealings together, the media and the community knows, if information about both of you fighting in school leaks, it'll be a disgrace to both families, don't you think so, Mr Muhammad?" She asked.

"... you are right Sarah, I won't want Shehu Corporation to trend in a bad way in news papers and magazines, only God knows what these journalists are capable of" Mr Muhammad said.

Shehu is Mr Muhammad's surname.

"You can leave now" Mrs Sarah Abram said while they walked to the parking lot.

"You never allowed anyone to know about your son, Mr Muhammad, well done" Mrs Sarah Abram said.

"No... no, I never allowed him to stay in the country, he just came back, I love my son way too much" He replied while looking at his wristwatch.

None of his business partners knew of Nasir, Nasir spent most of his life out of the country. Mrs Sarah was wondering how she didn't know of him, he didn't even attend business parties and all that. Her confusion was when Mr Muhammad said Nasir didn't grow up in the country.

They both bid each other farewell.

*AT SHEHU CORPORATION*

Mr Muhammad walked in when each employee downstairs stood up to greet him, He just replied with a nod and his hands telling them to sit, he entered the elevator to his office. He got to his secretary's office and immediately shouted at his secretary to get his coffee. He then entered his office and banged his hands on the leathered table.

"...she knows now" he put his hand on his head, in a frustrated manner.

Jabir, his secretary walked in with a cup of coffee in a small tray. Mr Muhammad loved tea and coffee, he loves his coffee, black and one cube of sugar. Only his wife can make the tea he loves, with cinnamon, cardamom, cloves and other tea spices.

"and I warned him...I warned him" he continuously repeated while taking his cup of coffee.

"You can leave Jabir, get all the paperwork I need to see and I hope the report for each department's weekly activities and expenses is recorded" He said while turning the office chair to sit down.

"Yes sir, it's all ready, some of the departments haven't submitted... Jabir was talking when Mr Muhammad cut him off saying "... what?"

"The other branches I mean sir, the departments in other branches"he said while looking at him calmly, Jabir is a man that knows how to tolerate Mr Muhammad Shehu's tantrums and behavior.

Jabir has worked for Mr Muhammad for years, he's a really patient man, with all the shoutings and Mr Muhammad's loss of control, he's still working at Shehu Corporation.

Mr Muhammad has once admitted being very attached to Jabir, he said Jabir is a very honest man, dedicated to his job.
