Nothing Is As It Seems 33

Part 33

Shaikha: well I am a partner which makes it my company too (full teeth smile) and besides where would you be without me?

7sain: I don't know (he sounded sincere)

Shaikha: so how is your assistant? (she said changing the subject)

As she said those words, tension raised to the surface.

7sain: moza? She is good

Shaikha: but of course not as good as me, it takes little people to keep up with your patience

7sain: that is why your special (he said that with his eyes on the floor as it slowly raised to her eye level)

Shaikha couldn’t resist but to smile and blush to his comment.

7sain: you look tired, why don’t you rest now since you worked non-stop for the past 6 days

Shaikha: its fine I'm not sleepy, I think ill work more before I sleep

7sain: wala eyhmch 7sain is here to the rescue (he took of his jacket and rolled up his sleeves) what do you have in your kitchen?

Shaikha: what on earth are you going to do in the kitchen? You don’t cook

7sain: you don’t know that, I can surprise you you know

Shaikha: ill be the judge of that

Its true that shaikha wanted the load off, but she still misses 7sain. They spent a lot of sleepless nights looking for papers in his office. As crazy as that sounds she misses him calling her in the middle of the night asking for her to do something or fax something over. Ever since he got an assistant he didn’t need shaikha as much as he did before. Things changed around the office.

Shaikha: cant you cook any faster I'm hungry

7sain: so your just going to sit there and complain about the food and not going to help

Shaikha: that wasn’t part of it, and besides ill judge the food so you have to do everything by yourself

7sain: ya3nii tbain etg9een 3alay?

And that was how they spent the rest of the nigh

...

She finally reached bader's apartment building and tried to re-think what she was doing.

Fatima: 'don't be a coward'

She extended her arm to ring the door bell and waited.

3 second...

10 seconds...

20 seconds...


... but no answer. She wanted to call but chickened out as usual when it came to bader. She was about to leave the front of the building when she saw bader walking towards her.

Bader: waht are you doing here?

Fatima: you busy?

Bader: tawnii yay mn el sharika

Fatima: yes

Bader: yes what?

Fatima: yes I'll marry you

Bader just stared at her not knowing what to say. She sure knew how to get to the point and that is what he loved about her.

Bader: 5aleena nid5al awal (he held her hand and led her inside)
