Indigo (Shade of a golden heart) - Season 2 - Episode 2

I guess she is very cute.’ Chalya couldn’t help but chuckle. If she didn’t know well, she would say her brother was in love with this girl.

‘I saw sadness in her eyes. You know this deep sorrow and pain that someone has carried for so long? I figured out that the emotion that her eyes carried was not really about the job, it was about something else.’

He explained to Chalya about Indigo’s missing money and how he helped her with some cash.
When he finished the story, she was so touched. She never knew her brother still had his humanity intact. She hardly believed Phillip would look twice a beggar’s way. What changed in him? What was so special about Indigo?

When can I meet the woman who touched my brother in a soft spot?’ She was eager to see this angel that had changed her brother’s way of doing things.

Maybe she would be able to convince Indigo to talk Phillip out of renovating the buildings and overcharging the low income earning tenants.
‘I didn’t get her contact,’ He paused, seeing his sister frown, he quickly added, ‘I gave her mine. So I am hoping she calls me.’

Phillip was eagerly waiting for Indigo’s call. Whenever he considered the possibility of her not calling, his heart sank.

‘That’s a wrong move bro, you should know better. What if that babe doesn’t call you?’ Chalya was not comfortable with this.

‘I couldn’t have asked for her number. I didn’t want her to feel I needed it because I gave her some money. I want to be friends with her; I want Indigo to trust me. Giving her my card, means trusting her. I hope she returns the favor.’

‘I hope so too…’ Chalya sighed.

Now she had something to distract herself with for a while. She needed to find this Indigo girl and convince her to talk to Phillip before he made any stupid move.

She was a hundred percent sure that Moremi and uncle Usman were plotting something, but her brother wouldn’t listen to her. He had told her that her hate for Moremi had blinded her to more important things, but he was the one being blinded by her smooth talking and her charms.

‘I don’t know Chalya, but there’s a way I feel whenever I look into her eyes. She is so special…I feel something in her drawing me close. I don’t know if you have ever felt his way before. It is indescribable.’ He pressed a hand against his chest.

Phillip felt like a school boy having his first crust, he felt like a boy falling in love all over again.
What was happening to him?

‘You only feel that way when you have a crush bro. So it is official! Phillip Hajjo has a crush on Indigo Hassan.’ Chalya clapped her hands. She was happy that Moremi would soon find her place.

‘Shut up you!’ He grinned, before they both burst out with laughter.

Chalya had come to her brother’s room for something important and she wouldn’t leave without accomplishing that.

‘Father wanted to see us. He said there’s something important he would like to share with us.’

His joy, fled the moment Chalya mentioned the man he resented.

Why? I don’t want anything to do with him. He has already done enough damage this night. I think I should take a bath then work on some files.’ He rose to his feet and moved towards the bathroom.

‘Hey Phillip, what if it is something very important? What if dad is dying? Wouldn’t you want to hear his final words?’

His sister’s words troubled him, was his father dying? He had his reservations about the man, but he loved his father. He was not ready to lose him yet.

‘Is he dying ?’ Phillip swirled round and faced Chalya.

Her shoulders sagged the moment her brother’s eyes bored into hers, ‘I don’t know. I was just saying.’

‘Whatever let us go see him then.’ Philip grabbed his phone from the head of his bed and walked towards the door with Chalya behind him.
‘How does Indigo weds Phillip sound?’ She teased.

He knew his sister would have a filled night with this, ‘You should get yourself a man soon.’
‘Hell no.’ She declined his offer.

As they neared the sitting room where the meeting was to take place, Phillip’s phone beeped, he had just received a message from Mr. Barf, his building materials supplier.

I was attacked by some gunmen. They kept warning me to stay away from you and PIE or they would have me dead next time. I don’t know what to do Mr. Hajjo. I do not think I want to work under threats. Maybe we should call it quits.
He found his father on the sofa, gently stringing the violin whose gentle cries evoked a melancholic feeling in the atmosphere.

‘I don’t like that tune, it’s depressing.’ Phillip rolled his eyes and settled in a chair next to his father.

He had decided to keep Barf’s message to himself for now, as he didn’t want his sister to panic. Once he was done with this meeting, he would contact the German and find out more.
‘It’s “Maid with the Flaxen Hair,” it’s not supposed to be enthralling.’ Chalya whispered.

They both fell silent and watched their father play.
