Nothing Is As It Seems 44

Part 44

Sitting with her family chatting about this and that she couldn't help but notice the smile on her mother's face. She knew what that smile meant. She was a little too familiar with it. She could feel it. But this time, she was thinking of saying yes.

Lunch was over as usual Shaikha got up to clean up with her mother, she saw it coming

Mother: Shaikha 7abeebti yayeench 56aab

Shaikha: 'I knew it'

Mother: gabl 3an etgooleen la2 seeri 3nd ebooch 5ali eyramsch

Shaikha's mother already gave up on trying to convince shaikha to get married. She just wanted to see her daughter happy and some grand babies.

Shaikha: inshallah

The rest of the day was normal untill Shaikha's sister alya decided to leave with her husband leaving shaikha with her dad all alone in the meylas.

Father: umch galatlch?

Shaikha: na3am uboi

Father: sho rayech?

Shaikha: wallah madrii, mno hatha elrayal a9lan?

Father: ana se'alt 3an'h mn eli galawli rayal zain, esm'h Mohammed Al- yesht'3el fi sharikat X ka accountant

It wasn't a suprise to shaikha, she saw all this coming and the day she accepted to go on a date with him and she was actually thinking of saying yes. What surprised her is that he didn't talk to her about it and asked her family first which she found manly.

Later that day:

Fatima was setting the table for her and bader. She lit the candles and had on a dress but a lingerie underneath knowing how the night will end

Bader: kila hatha 7agii (he teased)

Fatima: of course

They got seated and has their small talk. Then it was her perfect time to put in her idea.

Fatima: knt yalsa asoog o chan achoof bait wayid 7lew shakla

Bader: mhm (he was used to her talking about houses since she was a designer probably it was on of her ideas for a design)

Fatima: ya3nii fi 5 ghrf o ma6ba5 o kil shay, 7sait ena zain 7agna

Then she paused looking at him waiting for a response.

Bader: ha? (she took him by suprise) 5 ghraf 7agna n7n elethnain bs?

Fatima: adrii 3ashan chi glt ben5lii e5waank wiyana, taraak etgool bait 3ami 9’3eer 7aghm o 3ami o 3ameti kbraw fa lazm eshway wakt 7aghm

It seemed like the best solution and he wanted to say yes. He had the money for a house but it was too complicate. To make his 4 boys live with them and her own sister. He knew it was a big responsibility and he didn't want to make her go through all that.

Bader: bs 7abeebti 5wanii 4 o 7ashra mashallah 3alaihm, bey3awroonlch rasch

Fatima: bl3ks fi beykoon 7ad fil bait wiyana o ana ma3ndii e5waan

Bader: bs beykoon wayid 3alaich, maaba ata3bch

Fatima: la mb wayid wala shay, I would love them here than anywhere else and so for the money I decided to sell the beach house since I won’t be needing it anymore

Bader: la la hatha baitch intii, o ana knt aba I surprise you bs mashallah 3alaich ma5alaiteenii

Fatima: ohh a surprise?

Bader: they made me a senior engineer

Fatima: OMG, really?

Bader: yes, fa elratib beyet3adal o aroom ashtreelna bait

Fatima: ahhhh (she jumped into his lap and started kissing him)

She was happy for him knowing that that is what he wanted for a very long time. And she was glad everything was going well. It might not be what she planned for herself but it is definitely something she was glad to have and would do anything for it to keep on going well.
