Hazeemah: ( hide behind him)

Khalid: so after everything we shared, you are just gonna hide? That's the best you can do? If you would told me who you really are in the first place I would have recognized you.

Hazeemah: ( furiously step forward) and if you tried to recognize my voice because that was the only thing you could recognized.. I couldnt stop being happy to see you.. I smile at you all day and you never noticed me. I gave you all the signals to identify me but you were too busy talking to your lover on the phone. That's when I realized I was just dreaming about our second phase of love.

Khalid: that's not true, I loved you Hazeemah and you know it! I still love you.

Hazeemah: not anymore.. I have moved on.. I can't believe I was so excited the first time you step your foot into this company.. I never thought all was for nothing. Are you going to deny the fact that you already have someone else?.

Khalid: no I'm not denying it but I don't love I swear. My main purpose for volunteering to come to Nigeria was because of you. Please Hazeemah.

Hazeemah: well... I'm sorry.. life goes on..

Khalid: and you know all these wouldn't have happened if you have reveal on face while we were talking on the phone.. but you kept saying is you want to find it if I will falls in love with your heart and not your face... I would have located you the first time I got here.. I would have recognized you. Please I want to marry you..

M.k: ( step forward) hold it right there! She is not yours and she never will be.. she is mine.

Hazeemah: wooohwohwoh! I am nobody's. None of you has any right over me. ( Walk out of the office)

Khalid: hazeemah please! Listen to me.

M.k: Khalid! You know... You shouldn't be here anymore because we've finalized what brought you here.. but as for Hazeemah she is mine.. so leave us alone.

Khalid: before you came Into the picture it was me and her.

M.k: and when I asked you if you know here someone, you denied it.. she stares at you with so much passion but you always shun her feelings, and now you want her back? Wake up and leave us alone ( exit his office) Hazeemah!!!
