The Billionaire's Past

CHAPTER 32

Yes, Atif is right. Aliyah was annoyed by his question.

Because Aliyah was annoyed she had a second thought if she was going to take that opportunity to

work overseas or not.

Atif sent the job description and the salary rate to Aliyah.

Also he sends some proof that the job offer is legit because he wants to gain the trust of Aliyah.

Aliyah reads Atif's message.

The job offer has quite a high salary which means she can earn twice as much compared to her job

here in Asia.

Aside from that, the job is legit.

Because of that Aliyah thinks that maybe she can trust this guy whose name is Almir.

As she can see he is not lying or just kidding.

Aliyah doesn't know that Almir is also Atif.

Even though Aliyah was so annoyed at Atif's question she decided to reply.

She will accept the job because she knows that the earnings that she will get from the job will be of big

help for her to give her considered family a good life.

Aliyah wants to give her Grandmother Elsa and her Uncle Peter a good life that's why she is willing to

take the opportunity.

Her family is too important for her.

Aliyah is always finding ways just to give them a good life.

She thinks that this opportunity will help.

She will try to risk it all for her family.

So Aliyah type her reply to Almir - (Atif);

"Okay. I’m willing to apply for that job. Hope I can trust you." Aliyah said.

When Atif receives the message from Aliyah he immediately reads it.

Atif feels glad that Aliyah accepted the job.

It means he will be able to see Aliyah in person.

Atif type his reply;

"Of course. You can trust me. I'm sincere in offering help for you." Atif replied.

"Thank you. Can you please tell me who owns that company? Aliyah replied.

“My friend Lamin owns that company." Atif replied.

"Your friend owns such a large scale business? Maybe you're a businessman too?" Aliyah asked.

“No. I'm not." Atif replied.

Atif tells a lie this time. Property belongs to Nôvel(D)r/ama.Org.

Atif's plan is to hide his real identity to Aliyah at first that's why he replied like that.

He is afraid that if he will tell Aliyah the truth she will no longer accept the job.

He will pretend as Almir until Aliyah totally accepts the job and arrives here in his country.

Atif plans to tell Aliyah the truth that he is also Atif when Aliyah starts working here.

Atif already talked about these things to his friend Lamin. Lamin agreed to him.

Lamin won't tell Aliyah that Almir is also Atif.

Atif will just pretend as Lamin's employee.

He will tell Aliyah that he works for Lamin as a personal driver and bodyguard.

Lamin understands why Atif is doing these things, that's why Lamin agreed to Atif.

Atif received a reply from Aliyah.

"You are not a businessman? So what is your work?" Aliyah asked.

"I'm working as a personal driver and bodyguard for my friend Lamin." Atif answered.

"Okay. So what are the necessary documents that I have to prepare to apply for that job?" Aliyah

asked.

Atif replied to Aliyah.

Atif told Aliyah to prepare some documents needed to apply for the job.

Aliyah agreed.

After an hour of waiting, the person who was waiting by Atif arrived.

The secretary informed Atif.

"Sir my boss Mr. Omerdic is already here. You can proceed to his office."

"Okay. Thank you."

Atif walks towards the door opposite from the waiting area.

The door is slightly open.

Atif can see Mr. Omerdic sitting on the swivel chair. There is a woman who is standing beside him

holding a cup of tea. She seems to be Mr. Omerdic’s wife.

There is also a young lady who is sitting on another swivel chair near the office table busy reading a

fashion magazine. Maybe he is the daughter of Mr. Omerdic.

Atif gets closer to the door of the office.

Now he clearly sees the faces of Mr. Omerdic’s wife and daughter.

Their faces seem familiar to Atif.

Atif stops for a while in walking towards the office of the Mr. Omerdic.

He wants to remember where he saw that woman and the young lady.

Then suddenly there are flashes of memories in Atif's mind.

Atif knew these persons a long time ago.

The woman's name is Monika and her daughter's name is Aleksa.

As far as Atif remembers, he and his mother Amila rent a house together with Monika.

In that house, they are living together with Monika and other relatives of this woman; Monika's daughter

Aleksa, two brothers and sister.

Monika is Atif's mother's friend that sent Atif away outside the house after his mother died.

Atif will never forget that winter's evening when this woman cast him out of the house and abandoned

him on the icy street of the city when he was a little boy.

Monika thought before that Atif is just a burden to her and good for nothing.

Amila and Monika are friends but when Amila died because of lung cancer, Monika cast away Amila's

son Atif out of their house.

Monika abandoned the little boy Atif on the city out on the street.

From then on Atif lived like a beggar on the city street. Experienced a hard life at his young age:

Wandering on the street all day;

Begging for food just to fill in his empty stomach;

But when no one gave him food he learned to eat food from garbage cans just to survive from hunger.

And when the evening came he would shelter himself on the footbridge with no roof. There he will

sleep under the falling of snow for it is winter that time. He will stay there while waiting for the night to

pass by and another day to come.

Atif thought that time that hardship in his life will never end because his mother is dead, who is his only

hope for no one will take care of him aside from his mother but Haya came and saved him from that

dark past.

Aleksa, Monika's daughter, was so cruel to him before.

When Atif's mother died Aleksa together with her relatives who also lived in that house treated Atif

badly.

Atif knew this woman was a widow.

He didn't know she got a new husband.

Atif didn’t expect that after a long time he will meet these persons again.

Atif is consumed with anger at this moment.

His face turned red because of anger.

The look in his eyes became sinister.

Atif takes a deep breath, composing himself before starting walking again towards the door of the

office.

"Revenge is mine this time." Atif mumble while walking towards the door.
