Nothing Is As It Seems 17

Part 17

Walking furiously to his room all she could think was that she expected it to happen. She knew he would pull this trick sooner than later. It was there first day in London and he was already taking it for granted.

Shaikha: what do you think you are doing?

7sain: showering

Shaikha: yeah I can see that

7sain: I see we are on the same page

Shaikha: oh we are not on the page we are not even in the same book HELL WE ARE NOT EVEN IN THE SAME FREAKING LIBRARY

7sain: would you relax, the vein on your for head is about to explode

Shaikha: GET DRESSED!

This was how shaikha spent her first morning in London, yelling at 7sain. Just like any other day. 

Shaikkha: hurry up, we are going to be late

7sain: n7n fi ejaza!

Shaikha: no we are not! we are on a business trip

She started looking round the room with a fierce expression 

7sain: sho etdawreen?

Shaikha: elmeftaa7

7sain: laish?

Shaikha: 3ndk ethnain 3a6nii wa7id!

And that was her solution to everything. A spare key to his room to take everything under her control. A solution to all problems.

Fatima woke up with a fresh look and waited with excitement. Was it because she was in a vacation or a vacation with Bader? She brushed the thought away and resumed with her day. The best part if a hotel was the breakfast. She got dressed in a summer dress and off she went. Surprisingly the place was packed and there was line in front of the hostess. She immediately got in line and waited for her turn. Bader followed right after which they both were happy about. 

Bader: 9baa7 el5air

Fatima: 9baa7 elnoor, slept good?

Bader: yeah, how about you?

Fatima: yea I did

It was the first time bader saw Fatima in a summer dress on a vacation looking so pretty. He couldnt help but stare. As for fatima she just didnt know what to think. Where ever she went he was there which she likes very much. 

Bader: 'how could she be so pretty'

They fell in line together and waited for their turns with small talk between them. Finally their came the hostess spoke

Hostess: table for 2?

Fatima: ummm, yeah (she looked at bader)

Bader: yes table for 2 please

The hostess directed them to their table

Fatima was suprised yet pleased that it turned out that she was going to share a table with Bader.

Bader: I hope you dont mind, fi zahma eshway o 3ashan en5ale9 enber3a

Fatima: yeah sure

Fatima was dissapointed at what he said but was it the truth?

Nothing Is As It Seems 16

Part 16

A few seconds later her phone was ringing and it was bader calling. She was shocked why the hell was he calling her.

Bader was in his car about to take off to another construction area when he received a text from an unknown number. After reading its context he knew who it was.

He secretly hoped that she would call. He smiled as he read the message. Without knowing it his finger betrayed him and he found himself pressing the answer call button. 

Bader: alo 'sho sawait'

Fatima: alo bader, ana ma3arf el procedure

She jumped at his voice.

Bader: bagoolch eyaah a7een (he just couldnt help but grin, he found it sexy when she called out his name)

Fatima: ezain you could have texted

Bader: a6weel, o b'3ait afahmch eyaah

That was a lie but fatima was too oblivious to know. After telling her the procedure and did he sure take his time.

Fatima: shokran bader (she said with a soft voice)

That didnt help bader any more than the first time she said his name.

He laughed a soft laugh and said

Bader: el3afew, law tbain shay thani eta9laili

And that was how the phone call ended which a smile in both their faces. With all the excitement bader forgot to pass the message along

To fatima:

almost forgot, shaikha says she wants to talk you

Fatima smiled at the message.

After stressing out over the tickets shaikha went back to the office. Atleast she was going to take off away from the wedding and be stress free. The only problem was convincing fatima along with all of it. All she needed was a vacation from all of it, but now it was going to be a buisness trip. She walked to the office and found fatima smiling at a note. That was a first, fatima smiling? early in the morning? 

Shaikha: hey, you in a good mood

Fatima: yeah I guess, its a good day

Shaikha: you just have to make it worse dont you

Fatima: your canceling the vacation arent you?

Shaikha: dont be mad, 7sain suddenly booked me a ticket and I have to be there

Fatima: its fine we will go after your business trip

Shaikha: umm I cant, alya wants be here for the wedding plans which is after the melcha which is one million years from now but you know how my sister gets

Fatima: fine, I knew it was too good to be true, we will do it next time

Shaikha: no no, this buisness trip is for 2 weeks which I believe is a very long time, so why dont you come along

Fatima: are you sure?

Shaikha: you can take a break we both can, and btw its tomorrow

Fatima: your not making this easy you know that

Shaikha: I love you (she said before heading outside)

Fatima: I know you do

And that was set. A change for everyone. Lets see if that was what they all anticipated. 

The next day...

It was bright and early and fatima was already. You've got to give her credit for pulling it off in one day. She was at her father's place saying good bye to hind and making sure everything is set.

Fatima: you sure everything is good?

Rose: yes we do, you just go and have fun

Fatima made her way to the airport and met up with shaikha and saw 7sain there too looking handsome as he always but what she didnt expect was bader. Standing there equally as handsome with a smile on his face.

Fatima: 'oh boy'

A terrible mistake

I can't believe i just did that. HAHAHA I'm out of my mind. Sorry for the spoiler alert as you guessed it was a mistake. I DID NOT intend to do that. I'm really sorry my dear readers. I have alot on my plate so just pretend that you haven't read any of it. I'm really hoping what I posted by mistake didn't give away the whole story.

Nothing Is As It Seems 15

Part 15

Finally working hours where done and everyone were on their way home. The 2 ladies met on the way to their cars. 

Fatima: you look terrible

Shaikha: thank you, as do you

Fatima: so whats wrong?

Shaikha: what do you mean?

Fatima: really?? you are going to play that card? for many years ive known you I know when something is up

Shaikha: its nothing, just alya got engaged, and she said yes and the melcha is soon, so we might as well prepare for the stress

When a young girl gets engaged that means that the older unmarried ones should go through humiliation from other ladies. 

Fatima: lets just go through it and it will be over before you know it, how about we go on a vacation

Shaikha: haih wallah we havent been on a vacation for quit some time, you know what lets do it, after the melcha just pick up and go, then we can come back after and deal with more wedding stress

Fatima: true to dat

The girls made plans on going on vacation, everyone needs a vacation. But will it be what they needed? Just live on and hope for the best.

The next day...

Shaikha woke up to the sound of laughter and excitement that is when she knew that it was both her mother and her sister's voices that was filling the house.

Mom: 9abaa7 el5air

Shaikha: 9abaa7 elnoor, laish wa3yeen mn wakt?

Mom: intii eli nasha meta5er esa3a 10 a7een

Shaikha: ohh

Alya: wake up you have to help me with all this wedding stuff

Shaikha: now, its too early for that, and besides you have the whole summer to think about it

Alya: that is why iIneed you to help with all this

Shaikha: fine

There is goes her summer plans canceled without even mentioning them, there was no hope. Its while it lasted. The rest of the day shaikha spent looking into wedding magazines. When she needed a work emergency the most it never came...

The next day was no exception for any of them. Shaikha was early as usual and 7sain was sleeping it off somewhere. Shaikha was looking into some accounting papers when  when someone knocked the door disturbing her focus. It was one of the companies drivers with some papers in his hand

Shaikha: yes kumaar?

Kumar: miss shaikha here are the tickets, with the receipt

Shaikha: what tickets?

Kumar: mr. 7sain told me to get them from the airport booking area, for 3 of you

Shiaikha: 3 of us?

Kumar: you, mr. 7sian and mr.bader

Shaikha: ok thank you

Shaikha: 'tickets? what tickets is he talking about?'

She checked them and it turned out that they would be leaving tomorrow to london. Without even informing her he went and booked her a ticket. She wasn't even aware of this arrangement. She tried calling 7sain but there was no answer. So she decided to go to his house and ask him for herself. On her way out she bumped into bader holding a bunch of blue prints

Shaikha: kalamt 7sain elyoom?

Bader: la, a5er mara kalamt'h kaan ams, o 3an el safra bacher

Shaikha: 6aa3 int'h ana ma5abarnii 7ata!

Bader: madrii wallah, galii enna lazm enseer, 3ashan elinvestments

Shaikha: when you see fatima, tell her that ill talk to her when I get back

And then she dashed off with her car keys in her hand. She drove to his house and then opened the door letting herself in. She assumed he would be in bed. Secretly hoping not   to walk in on him in one of his "wild nights". Since she already have done that a couple of times. She went upstairs and saw him in his pants and shirt but not yet buttoned. 

7sain: enzain 5aleenii albas awal

Shaikha: Ive seen better!

7sain: laish em3a9ba

Shaikha: why did you buy a ticket for me too? you didnt even ask me if I can go

7sain: you have nothing to do, and besides it was last minute

Shaikha: but I have something, alya wants me here

7sain: its too late to cancel I already bought it, we will be back in 2 weeks

Shaikha: 2 weeks? why that long?

7sain: bs chii, tara ymkn en6awel! you said you wanted to go on a vacation this is your vacation, enjoy it bring fatima too if you want

Shaikha remained quite this was her chance to change sights and go on a vacation. Besides it was a business trip right?

Back at the office...

Fatima walked to the office. She was in the mood to work. She got seated in front of the computer and found a note. 

You have to fix the setting so it wont restart, call me if you want the procedure, you have my number

Fatima: uff now I have to call

She text-ed instead telling him to tell her the procedure, it was better that way. Part of her wanted to call but she chickened out. She just couldnt bring herself to do it.

To bader:

Just text it to me

A few seconds later her phone was ringing and it was bader calling...

Nothing Is As It Seems 14

Part 14

Shaikha was wide awake, she had troubles sleeping whenever there were big projects the company was working on. Summer was getting closer finally time to rest, but maybe not. A surprise was waiting for her at her parents house that she wasn't ready for.

She went to her parents before heading to work. For some reason her family where quite excited. The atmosphere was different, not as usual.

Shaikha: esalam 3alaikum

All: wa3alikum esalam

Shaikha: sh7alkm?

Mom: eb5air, shaikha 7abeebti, yow naas ye56boon e5tch

Shaikha: ohh mabrook alya (her younger sister)

Alya: Allah eybarek feech

Shaikha was not jealous, she just felt a little more lonely. Is she slowly regretting denying the men that proposed to her? Was it a bad choice to pick career over marriage? Many people weren't helping at all. A 25 year old women and not married was considered 3aar. 3anez, a harsh word that every woman had to hear if she wasn't married after the age of 24. It didn't bother her at first, but it slowly did.

What made it worse is that they already came and proposed and her parents accepted. She wasn't included in the pre-decision. She brushed the thought away and completed her day. She finally excused herself and then went to the office. As she walked in she found the lights open in 7sain's office. That was  first for him to arrive before she did. So she walked in and saw him shirtless changing into another work shirt.

So she stood there staring. It wasn't what she expected in the morning for a work day? 7sain shirtless was a surprise, maybe a good one this time. 

7sain: like what you see? (He had this smirk on his face)

Shaikha: fi shay esmh 7amaam! 

She shut the door behind her giving him time to dress up and stop staring at him.

Shaikha: you are disgusting you know that, at least have the decency to take a shower before coming here, especially after you know what, I bet you smell like her

He just stood there looking at her accuse him of things that he didnt do.

7sain: intii balaach? badalt 3ashan chabait coffee 3ala 8amee9ii

Shaikha: ohh

7sain: what do you think I was changing for?

Shaikha: noting... just assumed you met some slut and you know...

7sain: I did, but I did go home and shower

Shaikha: your perverted

7sain: what just because I talk about it, how would you know. You know nothing about it, where you even turned on once in your life time?

Shaikha: its not the time, at least be professional in a work place

He started getting closer to her, what made it worse is that his shirt was still not buttoned up yet.

7sain: how about now?

His voice was husky which made Shaikha feel something that she never felt before. It was working and she knew it. 

7sain stepped back buttoned his shirt and said

7sain: so what for today?

He treated the matter like it never happened. He was sure a master at changing subjects. 

On the other hand Shaikha just brushed whatever she felt away and tried her best to forget it but couldn't...

At bader's office:

There Fatima sat in front of the computer working as hard as she can when something on the wall distracted her. Bader saw her looking at the wall with an annoyed look on her face.

She finally got up, rolled up a newspaper and hit it hard on the wall. She got tissues and whipped the wall then threw it in the bin. 

Bader: bismillah sho feech?

Fatima: ha, la bs spider 9'3eer

She went out of offcie to wash her hands. Bader was impressed. He smiled to the scenery, it was the first time to see a girl deal like that. She really knew how to deal with things she might not be gracious at that but she was different.

Nothing Is As It Seems 13

Part 13

After her long run she went back home and took a long shower to kill some time. She decided to clean up the apartment a bit. The take out was on the desk and the bin filled with takeout plastics. She wasn’t bothered to cook so take outs were her best friends at desperate moments. She got dressed and went to work. Her routine never changes. Work was everything to her she would go see her family once in a while but the stress of work kept her home. If she wasn’t working she would just go home and stay home. She couldn’t help but feel lonely. The regret of declining all those guys that proposed to her was getting to her. Especially since her younger sister is getting married it made her feel even lonelier than she ever was. 

She made her way to her office and started working right away to get that horrible feeling out of her head. She hated feeling that way.

Fatima came in with cups of coffee in her hand but this time 3 cups instead of 2.

Shaikha: 3 cups ha? I see you and bader are in good terms

Fatima: I guess…

That was all she said because she didn’t know what terms they were on since last what happened.

Heading to the elevator with mixed emotions not knowing what to hope for. She wanted to ignore bader and pretend he wasn’t there but part of her wanted to see him. It was something that she couldn’t understand. She remembered that she never said thank you for "saving her". She walked towards his office and he was seated there looking into some papers.

Fatima: esalam 3alaikm

Bader: wa3alaikm esalam

When she walked in, he sat straight and had this smile on his face for some unknown reason to him.

Fatima: coffee?

Bader: yeah sure

She handed it to him

Bader: mashkoora

Fatima: el3afow

She got seated in front of the computer and started to work. This time bader was seated in his desk all the time and didn’t go out so it was more awkward for her. She slowly stole glances towards him but he wouldn’t budge. He remained looking at the papers in front of him. What she didn’t know was that bader was slowly glancing towards her when she wasn’t looking. He caught her a few times looking towards him.

She was focused on her work when the computer decided to restart. Her work was all saved but now she had to call shaikha to put in the password. Due to company policies Fatima was not suppose to know it. Making her even more stressful than she was, she called shaikha but she wasn’t answering her phone. exactly what she needed, now she had to ask Bader for help but was too stubborn for that. She received a lot of help from him and wasn't going to accept again. She was about to get up when something or lets say someone had stood right behind her with his hands extending towards the keyboard trapping her between his arms. 

Bader's point of view:

I noticed the computer shutting down. She didn't seem too nervous i'm guessing she saved her work. But then she wasnt typing in the password and started to figitate through her phone. She was trying to contact Shaikha. I don't know what got into me so i just got up and walked towards her and extended my arms to type the password in. After I was done I noticed her frozen in her place so I laughed it off and went back to my seat to continue working. She finally stood up and stood in front of me looking at me deeply. 

Fatima: Thank you

Bader: mafeeha shay

Fatima: mob bs 7ag a7een 7ata mal gabel, bs ana aroom adaber 3emrii

Bader: haih achoofch et3arfeen etdabreen 3mrch

He laughed again then walked out

Fatima: 'what is wrong with him'

The rest of the day was distracting for Fatima, she wasn't able to focus on her work and this was a first for her...

On the other hand Bader left the office with a smile, a smile that wasnt usually worn by him...

Nothing Is As It Seems 12

Part 12

Bader: hala yoba

Bader’s dad: esh7alk bader?

Bader: eb5air el7emdillah

Their conversation was simple and bader avoided talking about work. He would open any other topics expect for work knowing how his father missed working a lot.

2 boys came in with one sad and the other with an evil smile on his face.

3mr: baba, 9alaa7 ‘9rabnii

Bader’s dad: sho gelna ya 9alaa7, hatha e5ook mayestiwi ti’9rba!

Bader just loved them too much. He picked the both of them and kissed them on their cheeks. He could wait to start his own family.

Somewhere else…

Walking towards a house that she hated the most. How can such a big beautiful house have such horrid memories? She pushed those thoughts away and remained walking towards the entrance. A familiar face opened the door for her

Guy: hello miss Fatima?

Fatima: hello john, How are you? How is your family?

John: they are great, madam is not here at the moment

Fatima: ‘that doesn’t surprise me’ oh so is hind here or is she with my mother?

John: no she is here with rosa

It was 10:00 PM, and fatima’s mother was still not home yet. Actually this was normal. As for Fatima she knew her mother was somewhere gossiping away like she always does and probably hasn’t checked up on hind the whole day. She just waned to take hind away from her but knew how her mother would oppose to it. What can she do? This was her mother for god’s sake! Hind was not just a normal 2 yearold, she needed extra care due to her diabetes. She couldn’t understand why she was the only one with a mother such as her mother. The only good thing that came out from all this is that it made Fatima stronger. No matter what happens she knew how to deal with it. She never shed a tear regarding the neglect of her mother and she was never going to. She just wanted to be there for hind and make her strong as she is.

Hind: tima

Fatima: 7abeebtii hanooda? How is she rosa?

Rosa: don’t worry she is fine, I fed her and she got her shot for the day

Fatima: good, hanooda, laish mob ragda?

Hind: maba!

Rosa was not only a nanny she was a trained nanny. She was a nurse before and she was good with children and ever since hind was little she was there. She was also there when Fatima was a little girl. To Fatima she was more of a mother that a nanny.

The part that Fatima hated the most was her mom walking in looking drunk and with a cigarette in her hand. After long period of time convincing her not to smoke she wouldn't listen even after giving birth to hind.

Carried her and took a seat on the couch thinking of family. Her mom and dad were so happy and loving. She wondered what happened. Their marriage was a love marriage not a fixed one. Fatima never forgot what her mother told her when she was little how she met fatima’s dad. That time he was working in the Philippines. Fatima’s mom did not change her religion but love made everything possible for them. But now that love was gone. As a result her mother didn’t care anymore and never took care of her daughters.

Isn’t love better that any random person you barely know. Apparently that wasn’t the case with her parents. Her parents now are separated but not divorced. Her dad moved out a very long time ago and now is currently living with his other family. She hated him for sooo long that she was tired of hating. She hasn’t seen him for soo long that she didn’t know what to say when she does see him. After hind was born he wasn’t there anymore. Hind was conceived by mistake. They hadn’t planned it but when fatima’s father had a fight with his current wife he ran to fatima’s mom his other wife that he long forgot to love her. That was how hind was brought to this world.

Fatima was happy to have hind, she had someone to take care of and love. Because she knew that her mother cared for nothing but herself. After living through all that Fatima promised herself not to get married and do that to her own children. Living alone was what she settled for and would do for the rest of her life.

…

It was already 3:00 PM and shaikha was very much asleep. In deep sleep that she enjoyed ALOT. Suddenly a loud, disturbing noise woke her up from her deep sleep. It got registered in her mind that it was her phone. She immediately knew who it was. Because it was not the first time that her sleep was disrupted by the calls. And it was always that person who called. And it was never an emergency. She snatched the phone from the table and answered it with an angry voice.

Shaikha: WHAT THE FUCK DO YOU WANT?

7sain: fi 7ad eysib mn 9baa7 allah 5air

Shaikha: 9baa7? Its 3:00 AM seriously 7sain what do you want?

7sain: ymkn eykoon emergency?

Shaikha: what did something happen to the company?

7sain: glt ymkn, agool shaikhoo ma3ench gaima, fi w7da etgool 3emerha 21 bs ana agool 3merha 17 sena fa mob3aref 3aif aftak mnha, o etgool yaya mn Europe, and I know for sure she is a virgin!

Shaikha: your in a freaking bar, no wonder you sound drunk, put her on the phone

She said it as she sat up and yawned

7sain: on the phone?

Shaikha: ON THE PHONE 7SAIN!

7sain: glna lat9ar5een, for you

Girl: hello

Shaikha: hello, yes my name is shaikha, and I would ask for your name but under the circumstances I wouldn’t want to embarrass you, your probably a sweet girl, complete high school live your life

Girl: im 21

Shaikha: sure you are, and you would find true love one day, you see this man sitting next to you would take you for granted, he will take you virginity away and never see you or call you, he probably has herpies from all the women he slept with during this month only and I don’t think you want that, so please put him back in the phone

7sain: that was quick

Shaikha: and she is living right now, go home 7sain

7sain: pick me up, im drunk so I cant drive

Shaikha: get a cab!

She hung up the phone without rethinking

The phone rang again and again so her sleep was gone. She never picked it up but it bothered her that she was already awake. Sleep has evaporated and she decided to go on a run to get 7sain out of her mind. That is exactly what she needed, 7sain at 3:00 AM in the morning, starting her day!

Nothing Is As It Seems 11

Part 11

Another day at the office. This time Fatima was persistent on not getting into bader’s way especially after what happened yesterday. It was embarrassing but quite weird. She didn’t imagine that anything like that would happen. She even dreamt about the situation over and over again. Something that she desperately wanted to forget refused to leave her head. What made it worse is that after it happened she hadn’t talk to bader or look him in the eyes fearing she would get lost in them again like she did last time. And now she had to face him for some more every morning.

Fatima: ‘how great’

She made the thought go away and continued with her day. She got coffee and off to work she was. The drive to work was peaceful she was always a morning person. Nothing ruined her morning. Knowing after these hectic days she has someone that will brighten her day. And she was positive that she was going to see her that day. Especially since she didn’t see her for quite some time.

She walked to the office and saw it open but bader was not there. Boy was she glad not to see him anywhere. She got seated and was about to start working she saw a note stuck to the monitor and it says…

Here is the remote control… if you need anything call me, and please don’t climb on top of the tables again

050…..

And there he left his number she probably stared at the note for about 5 whole minutes trying to figure it out. Was this him being nice to her or just to get her out of the office as soon as possible by helping him work faster? ‘don’t climb on top of the tables’ that sentence was ringing in her head. She could imagine him saying those words again and again.

Fatima: ‘even in his notes he is arrogant’

She ignored and remained working that is when shaikha knocked on the door to see how her best friend was doing.

Shaikha: very busy I see?

Fatima: yeah, just trying to finish it as soom as possible

Shaikha: why are you smiling?

Fatima: IM NOT SMILING

Shaikha: bismillah balaach? I just asked why are you smiling, so whats that?

She pointed at the piece of paper that bader left for Fatima. As a reaction Fatima reacted in a way she didn’t expect herself to do so. She grabbed the paper and crunched it in her hand.

Fatima: nothing

Shaikha: Fatima balaach? Why are you acting weird?

Fatima: mafeenii shay, don’t you have work to do?

Shaikha: hind feeha shay?

Fatima: ha? La la mafeeha shay, im going to see her later today

Shaikha: met2akda e5tch mafeeha shay? Sho 3an 5alo?

Fatima: don’t worry hind is fine, and so is my mother

Shaikha: ok…

Shaikha just dropped the subject knowing that she won’t get anything from Fatima. As long baby hind is fine she guessed that it had to do with some work stuff. She knew exactly when Fatima acts weird it means that something is up and she is not telling her.

This was all bader’s fault is what she thought. There was nothing going on but he got into her head and made shaikha get suspicious of Fatima’s actions.

…

Bader was visiting a construction site with other senior engineers working as hard as he can. He kept on checking his phone secretly hoping for an unknown number to call him. He left his number on purpose not knowing what will happen. He wasn’t the type of guy that gives out his number to random girls but Fatima just messed up his head. After multiple times of checking he finally gave up. It was time to go back home. He let out a long sigh and made his way home to his parents house.

Bader: esalam 3alaikum

A bunch of different voices replied to him.

Bader’s mom: bader umai mabetakl 3sha?

Bader: la umai bayles eshway o barawi7, barid elshiqa

Bader’s mom: inth wil dawaan 3awartelna rasna kilna

Bader’s mom wasn’t the biggest fan of bader’s work. He usually is very busy but he still visits his parents and brothers. But all moms love their children and what mother loves it when their sons go away from home?

Bader: aaa555555!

He said as he sat on the couch close to his brother 9ager.

Bader: ha sh7al elmedersa o elderesa?

9ager: el7emdillah elta5arej 3gb thaleth shohoor

Bader: 7a’6reen, ha 7amadow sho elmedersa?

7amad his other brother that is lets say not very well behaved. After all he is a boy but getting kicked out of 3 different schools is not what you want for your kids. Expecially when he is only an 8^th grader.

7amad: medersa etlawi3 bilchabd, manroom enshawi shay, kil ma9adaina 9oob galoolna mamnoo3

Bader just laughed, he knew his brother too well. This school is perfect for him especially since he already has issues with schools all around the area.

Bader sat there and watched his family he loved them to death. He would anything for them but just one day he wished to start his own family. But that wasn’t what he could do any time soon. His work and family are taking all his time and money.

Bader: umai hatha elbazait

He kissed her forehead. He knew how stressful it was for her since their father retired due to his old age. Their status was fine but problems about money would surface once in awhile. But now bader is one step closer to becoming a senior engineer just one year left and everything would be better.

At that moment his father walked in.
