Nothing Is As It Seems 5

PART 5

Shaikha sat with maha chatting about their lives when 7sain approached her with a smile on his face.

7sain: shaklch bet9eeheen 3gb eshway

Maha: magool chii, she is doing fine

Shaikha: yeah im doing fine!

Maha: they need me there, ill be right back ‘better to leave these 2 alone’

Maha got up and walked away.

7sain: you want me to take her

Shaikha: yes (in a quite tone)

7sain carried his neice between his arms. She looked really petite in his arms. Shaikha on the other hand watched the 2. She pulled her hair back and kissed the baby girl on her head. She raised her head and her eyes met up with 7sain’s eyes. They shared a moment staring into each other’s eyes, when shaikha broke the silence.

Shaikha: mashallah 3alaiha she is very beautiful

7sain: 6al3a 3ala 5alha

Maha: te89ed 6al3a 3ala umha (she walked from afar after watching the 2 having their moment)

Somewhere else…

Maitha: I had problems with the zipper I think it is stuck, do you mind

She turned around pulled her hair to one side, revealing her perfumed neck. Bader held on the zipper and slightly opened it revealing her back. He could feel his heart beats accelerating. He was nervous not because of what was happening but because of what might people think if they walked on them.

He just unzipped her quickly and said

Bader: 3n ethnch

He excused his self and left her with her dress unzipped standing there. He joined 7sain and shaikha and they said their goodbyes then went back to the office.

He talked, smiled and laughed as if nothing happened.  Getting into the business of 7sain’s family is not the greatest idea. So keeping away from all of that and not have anything to do with maitha was the ideal solution.

He grabbed his things moving them into his new office that was close to the senior engineers and head of the business.

Bader: ‘uff yoom 6weel’

All the moving made him tired he waited for the computer tech to finish installing the mac coputer so he went to grab some coffee.

Maitha’s point of view:

Well that is just the start. I’m not maitha when I don’t get want I want. This will be fun. It’s been awhile since I worked hard. Why not get back into the zone. The next step will make him mine and wrapped around my finger like a puppet.

…

She was making her way to the coffee shop knowing that her best friend had another work crisis that would get their plans canceled or delayed. She got her channel purse and walked out of her car. With an espresso in mind she made her way towards the door when a man in a kandoora and 39ama walked out banging her on his way out making her bag fall off her hand right onto the floor. He just stood there watching her kneel to the floor collecting her stuff.

Bader: asf e5tii machftch

Fatima: cho e5tii!! Im not your sister! Are you blind!! seriously (thinking that he

didn’t know any English from the way he was dressed)

Bader was shocked to actually see her talk back like that. To him a lady should never talk to men the way she just did to him. And especially dress the way she does. She wore a skinny jeans that showed her legs perfectly and bum. He just wanted to ignore and leave her like that. Disappointed to what girls became today from the way they dressed and talked. The way just craved attention from any guy. It was sad...

Fatima: uff ya3nii you wouldn’t help just stare at me like that, what a real gentleman!

She finally got up and cleaned off her purse and jeans.

Bader: la ana mob 3ami, o glna asfeen

He walked away leaving her standing there with a shocked face. Fatima just ignored him and threw him out of her head. She was never going to see him again so what was the point of getting all mad even if he was a jerk with no manners.

She got coffee for her and shaikha knowing that shaikha might had 3 cups so far. On the other hand shaikha was pacing here and there trying to figure out this new project they are working on. The company was working on multiple projects which made it difficult to keep up with things.

Shaikha: 7sain where is the plan for project x

7sain: its somewhere here

Shaikha: really, just like that, where did the folder go?

7sain: shaikha ana sho daranii fi, lat9ad3eenli rasii

Shaikha started to look through the other folders but it wasn’t there. Fatima walked in looking gorgeous like she always did. All eyes were on her. Especially a work place that had men. It was the first time Fatima visited shaikha’s work place she finally understood the work stress shaikha was on most of the time.

Fatima: hey there, stressed as always I see (she handed her best friend a cup of coffee)

Shaikha: work work work

7sain: fatima

Fatima: 7sain, I see you’ve got her all busy (even though it was her first time to visit the office, she had seen 7sain before so it wasn’t their first meeting)

7sain: work work work, so did you find it? (he turned to shaikha)

Shaikha: your unbelievable you know that right

7sain: yes I do know that, from the million times you’ve said it

That moment bader walked in with the folder in his hand

Bader: hatha hoo eli emsawyeen 7ashra 3alaih

Fatima looked in shock horrified at what she saw.
