Nothing Is As It Seems 31

Part 31

2 days later...

Bader noticed that fatima hasn't called or texted recently and she wasn't answering her phone or replying to any of his texts. He was worried. They would talk and go out after decades of playing hard to get. But then she agrees and he proceeds to making it the best nights for both of them. After taking an awful time he finally decided on asking shaikha what was wrong.

Bader:  Shaikha, fatima feeha shay? ma etrid 3ala etaylefoon yoom adeg 3alaiha

Shaikha: la mafeeha shay el7emdillah bs 3ashan salfat hind

Bader: ay salfa? hind feeha shay?

That is when she told him everything. Things that Fatima was suppose to tell him. He knew how Fatima was feeling. She would shut the world out saying that she was fine when she was hurting inside. She would put a strong front for her sister. But Bader knew her that this moment she needed someone to talk to and let it all out. So he decided that he was going to be that someone.

Fatima was at her house making dinner for her and hind when a knock on the door disturbed her thoughts. She opened it and to her surprise stood Bader standing there with a concern look on his face.

Fatima: you should have called before you came barging in like this

Bader: I did call but you never answered any of my calls

Fatima: I'm fine bader

Bader: I didn't even ask if you are fine, its alright if you want to talk about it

Fatima: shaikha had to tell you didn't she, what is there to talk about?

He closed the door behind him and walked towards the kitchen where fatima was running to. 

Fatima: you want me to tell you how my own mother forgot about my sister, how she just left her without her shot lying there with a very high fever for what? to get a drink, a drink to satisfy her addiction was her concern at that moment and not her OWN daughter-

That is when he held her in his arms knowing that her tears when rolling down,

Fatima: (sobs) I hate her bader, I cant believe she did this

They just stood there... Fatima letting everything out but letting Bader in.

Meanwhile...

Shaikha waled into 7sain's office to find him sitting on the desk with one hand in his tie loosening it up and the other holding a bunch papers.

Shaikha: you done with that, I gotta make a copy for our lawyers to review

7sain: no worries (he pressed a button) moza ta3ali eshway

Few seconds later a woman in a black skirt and jacket walked in awaiting 7sain's instructions

Moza: yes mr.7sain

7sain: copy these papers and give them to the 7th floor for reviewing

Shaikha just stood there not knowing what was happening

7sain: ohh moza this is Ms. Shaikha Al X our executive director, Shaikha this is my assistant, its her first day

Shaikha: you already hired an assistant?

That was when moza made her exit and shaikha went to shut the door for further discussion. 

7sain: you told me to hire one

Shaikha: not without consulting me first

7sain: I'm capable of hiring an assistant for myself shaikha

Shaikha: are you sure she is capable? She looks...

7sain: qualified

Shaikha: I know how you are 7sain, I just want to know that you hired her for her qualifications not her you know what

7sain: here is her papers

Shaikha glanced over and it wasn't a bad one, It was actually close to what shaikha had when she was her age. Was she over reacting because moza was not a good candidate or because she is a young girl who was going to be close with 7sain?

She brushed off the feelings and resumed with her day.
