Part 9
She went into the office, finally working on her own project independently and getting paid for it. It was always what she wanted but never had the courage to do so. She spotted shaikha in her own office surrounded by papers and an Indian guy standing by her side.
Fatima: im guessing 7sain is not here as usual
Shaikha: that stupid man!
Fatima: so where do I start working?
Shaikha had the tech install Mac computers for more efficiency. But due to some delays bader’s office was the first to have a Mac computer. Since he just moved into his renovated office.
Shaikha: john ill be right back
She started walking with Fatima taking her to bader’s office.
Shaikha: this is where you will be working, everything you need in on this computer
Fatima: whos office is this?
Shaikha: ohh its bader’s don’t worry he wont be working in his office a lot and he rarely uses the computer
She walked out leaving Fatima all alone. This Fatima didn’t see coming. She ended up working in a place where she was going to see the face of a man that she disliked more like despised.
Fatima: ‘he is an engineer, what are the odds that he would spend more time in his office’
Bader was a civil engineer so he was busy visiting construction sites. She got seated working on the computer looking at the pictures that she could work with. She sensed someone standing beside the door watching her work.
Bader: ‘6ay3a?
Fatima: la mob ‘6ay3a, shaikha galatlii asht’3il ehnii
Bader: galawlii 7ad byii ‘didn’t expect to see her anywhere, especially not here’
Fatima: a6la3 ya3nii?
Bader: ha, intii taraach ehnii shonsawii!
Fatima: ‘jerk, he cant even say something nice or atleast say hello like a normal person’
She continued working and sketching some designs on her note pad while he sat there in his desk looking into some blueprints. She was seated in front of computer that was right in front of him. He could see how serious she looked. He didn’t see her as a hard worker.
Bader: ‘who knew she worked for a living’
Bader brushed the thought away and just didn’t want to think about her anymore.
She is too much baggage to get into. After fighting with himself he excused himself just to change his view. 2 straight hours looking at nothing and the moment he raised his head he saw her. It didn’t mean anything to him but he couldn’t stand in being on the same room as her.
Fatima: ‘finally I thought he would never leave’
Her head didn’t move for 2 hours just at the screen and her note pad. It felt like hell. She didn’t expect him to show up.
She took off her pumps and walked around the room a little. She went back to her seat when she saw bader from afar walking towards the office. She cursed under her breath at his scenery. He walked in and sat right in his desk examining more blue prints.
Bader: ‘she took off her shoes, she sure is getting comfortable’
She was getting into his head that he just wanted to get it out there.
Bader: merta7a achoofch
Fatima noticed that she hadn’t put her shoes back on. She was used to working in a comfortable environment and taking of her shoes was more comfortable for her, it helped her think.
Fatima: haih merta7a
Bader: cheh? yalsa fi baitkm?
Fatima: eskt eshway, 9ootk wayid emsaweelii 9daa3
Bader: o ba3ad wayid tetshari6ain
She ignored him and just went back to work. That is how they became closer by spatting at eachother’s throat. Exactly what they both needed someone they both couldn’t stand seeing early in the morning and the whole time throughout the day!
I LOOVED IT!!
