Nothing Is As It Seems 18

Part 18

Hostess: table for 2?

Bader: yes table for 2 please

Bader: I hope you dont mind, fi zahma eshway o 3ashan en5ale9 eber3a

Fatima: yeah sure

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

Bader: 'kaif basta7mal yalis wiyaha 7ag sa3a?'

The got seated in front of each other with the exact same thought in their heads. If it was any other person bader would be a gentleman probably even pull the chair out for them but when it came to fatima he just couldnt think straight. 

...

The conference could not possibly take any longer. Finally it was over and a bunch of suits came out the hall with tired expressions in their faces.

7sain: 7asha, rasi nga3!

Shaikha: thank god its over

They started to walk when shaikha bumped into someone she wished she never saw. There stood a woman in her late 40's with sharp eyes which directly look into your soul and know all of your faults. Her over priced shaila hanging on her head, she placed her hand on her chest when she recognized shaikha

Heyam: ohh shaikha, sh7alch?

Shaikha: el7emdillah, sh7alch 5alo?

Heyam: el7emdillah, sho etsaween ehnii? 

Shaikha: umm 7ag eldawaam (those words came out of her mouth as if she was throwing up)

Let's talk about this heyam lady for a bit. Well as you can tell she is someone Shaikha doesn't like. A few years ago Heyam's son Ahmed asked for Shaikha's hand in marriage. Shaikha's only condition was to work while she was married but unfortunately Ahmed and his mother didn't accept that condition and they ended the agreement between them. What made it worse for Shaikha was that Heyam was kind of family. Somehow both families knew each other. So ever since Heyam would remind her on how she passed a good opportunity in marrying her son.  

Heyam: haih, ana ehnii wiya ahmed, (she waved to him to come)

Ahmed: esalam 3alaikm

Shaikha: wa3alaikum esalam

7sain just stood there watching the whole thing happen right infront of his eyes. He knew exactly who ahmed was because he checked up on this guy since he was going to marry Shaikha.

Heyam: ahmed ehnii wiya 7eremt'h fa 8lna kilna enseer en ajez

Shaikha: 'She just had to say '7eremt'h, I feel sorry for her who ever she is'

Heyam: agool shaikha: melachtii wila ba3adch (she secretly hoped it would be a no and for shaikha to live a miserable lonely life)

7sain could feel shaikha's hand clutching hard on his sleeve. She held on tight telling him not to let her alone with this despicable woman.

Shaikha: 5alti-

7sain: yallah 7abeebti meshaina?

Shaikha: 'What the hell is he doing?'

7sain: ohh asf, machftkm mash'3ool betailfoon eldawaam emashklna kilna (he chuckled)

Heyam: shaikha mno hatha? (she asked in most curiosity)

7sain: ana 5a6eebha...
