Nothing Is As It Seems 46

Part 46

Days passed by and everyone got busier, except for the kids. It was summer after all, so low in staff and the hot weather was not helping the situation.

Fatima was cooking dinner in the kitchen while the kids where being noisy as ever.

Fatima: 3mr e9br eshway a7een beyeghaz elakel

3mr: ana yoo3an

Fatima: adrii mama, a7een bs seer eels 3nd e5ook, 7amad (she called out for him)

He didn’t respond to her

Fatima: YA 7AMAD!

7aamd: balaach etza3jeen!

Fatima: set the table, your brothers are hungry

7amad: enzain 3gb eshway

Fatima: la2! A7een!

7amad: enzain enzain

That moment 9ager entered the house and saw it in exploding and tension state.

9ager: bismillah balaakm?

7amad: sho daranii feeha? Em7arja

Fatima just gave this stare that meant nothing else that to shut up before something really happens.

9ager: a3oothbillah mn eblees, hadii a7een nakl

They sat on the table eating dinner and bader’s chair was empty. He was working late nights for awhile. Fatima on the other hand was having a bad day. Her emotions were all over the place. Bader came in while the kids where getting ready for bed and Fatima was washing the dishes.

Bader: esalam 3alaikm

Fatima: wa3alaikum esalam

She remained washing the dishes and bader felt the tension.

Bader: sho 7ag el3sha?

Fatima: we already ate, we had pasta

Bader: 7abeebti, e’3rfeelii, ana yoo3an

Fatima: where were you?

Bader: waih balach? Knt fil dawam

Fatima: you said you are going to come early today, but you missed lunch and 
dinner, I waited for you

Bader: enzain in here now, your over reacting

Fatima: im not over reacting, you haven’t been home for some time now

Bader: your just being silly, I have to work extra since most of the senior engineers are on a vacation

Fatima: fine

She remained washing the dishes then prepared for bader his dinner then she went off to bed without waiting for him. Not a goodnight kiss or any of that sort. She didn't doubt his whereabouts its just that she missed him. She was frustrated with all the work.

The next morning...

The pills really helped with sleeping, after taking them he managed to rest and doze off without noticing. Shaikha on the other hand was still in his house with her head laying beside his legs on the sofa. 

He noticed her eyebrows creased when ever she was sleeping but not comfortable with it. He knew that she would end up staying the night right beside him. As much as he wanted her to he hated it that she did so.

Shaikha: oh your already up (in a sleepy voice)

7sain: yeah, your head was too big, it bothered me

Shaikha: shut up, now let us wash up then ill take you to the hospital

It broke her heart seeing him all sick and helpless. Ever since he got an assistant they became further apart. She wondered if it was a good or bad thing.

At the hospital

Shaikha: I told you we should have been here earlier

7sain: it's just a blood test

Shaikha: well if you came earlier you wouldn't be this sick

The nurse approached them interrupting shaikha

Nurse: your husband's blood test ma'am

A smile crept to shaikha's face little did she know what the nurse said did to 7sain.
