Nothing Is As It Seems 52

Okay readers, only a few parts left and then the story is going to end. It has to end eventually right? Hope you are enjoying it.

Part 52

Weeks has passed by since mohammed proposed again and everything was going well but for some or let’s say 2 particular people it was moving way too fast. 

A promise has been made between 2 families and an agreement had been done. It was time to make it official and there was nothing holding them back. Finally only one day left until it was in the records, a sacred bound between husband and wife. 

Tomorrow, a day that shaikha waited for her entire life. She woke up this morning feeling what she suppose to be feeling was happiness and excitement but turned out to be something else. Something she couldn't really understand.

She pushed the thought away and just resumed with her day as if it was nothing.

Meanwhile…

7sain woke up bright and early hoping that this day would never come but unfortunately it did. The reason behind his early day was that he couldn’t sleep at all the night before. He just sat on his bed with his mobile in his hands thinking about calling shaikha all night. Was this normal? Is it possible for a person like 7sain to change? To love? 

He just wanted to make his sorrows go away. He wanted shaikha out of his head. He knew deep down that he would end up hurting her. Confessing his feeling to her was not an option. Was he running away like how he runs away from every problem that he faces? Nothing good can come from this day.

...


Shaikha made sure that she wasn't going to bump into 7sain other than in the office. She was convinced to stay that way until after her melcha. She avoided all of 7sain's hot spots. It worked but not as she hoped it would.

She was going to go for lunch with fatima since it is her last night as a single woman. 

Fatima: where do you wanna have lunch?

Shaikha: Somewhere different, I want a change of scenery

Fatima: are you alright?

Shaihka: yes, why wouldn't I be?

Fatima: you seem nervous?

Shaikha: what is wrong with me? aren't I suppose to be happy, I'm getting married for god sakes (she finally let it out)

Fatima knew that it was time to tell shaikha before it was too late. 

Fatima: are you sure you want to do this? you know it is never too late to back out

Shaikha: what are you saying? today is my melcha

Fatima: I know I'm not suppose to be saying this but do you love him?

Shaikha: of course, I'm marrying him aren't I

Fatima: I meant do you love 7sain?

Shaikha: this has nothing to do with 7sain

Fatima: you didn't answer my question


Somewhere else...


Bader was driving his car going to work while talking to abdulra7mam (remember him, 7sain's cousin who is married to 7sain's sister maha)

Abdulra7man: badoor, rams'h da5eelk

Bader: int'h et3arf km mara emramsn'h, 3yazt rasii 3awarnii

Abdulra7man: galk shay?

Bader: mayrid yoom adegl'h

Abdulra7man: ya3nii mob bs ana

Bader: lat7atii, ba7awel wiyaah

Abdulra7man: tekfa badoor, lat5ali eyfawet a5er for9a 3nd'h

Phone call ended...

Bader shut the phone and started to to park his car in his spot. He spotted 7sain's car in his spot which didn't surprise him anymore. He noticed the change in 7sain. But what worried him is that after today 7sain was going to drown himself in work just to not think about her.


7sain was at the office, sipping coffee getting ready for the day. It was exceptionally early even 7sain's assistant wasn't at work yet.

7sain: achoofk yay mn wakt

Bader: yaay afta7 elsharika, bs mashllah 3alaik '3labtnii

7sain: (laugh) ha kaif esafra?

Bader: wallah mashkoor ya 7asoon maga9art

7sain: masawait shay

7sain just wanted bader to enjoy his time with his wife.

Bader: sh7alk?

7sain: eb5air

That was when bader knew that his close friend is in great pain

Bader: 7asoon da5eelk seer ramesha, goola'h

7sain: sho agoola'h badoor? betemlech elyoum

Bader: ba3ad'ha ma melchat, shay wakt

7sain: maroom int'h et3arf eni maroom, aseer agoola'h o 25areb 3alaiha, o ba3dain sho?

They have been having this conversation for a very long time. Bader trying to convince him that everything will be alright while 7sain was not accepting the idea. He didn't want to take the risk and then hurt her.

Hours have passed by and 7sain has been throwing himself into work trying to forget.

7sain: any more papers moza?

Moza: I think you wouldn't be signing anything for the next month sir (she said jokingly), take a break

7sain let out a sigh and took a seat on his chair thinking of what bader has just said to him.

Meanwhile...

It was late at night and Shaikha was done packing her stuff with 7sain in her mind. He was all she thought about lately. Now with fatima's words rewinding in her mind. What if? is all she asked herself. All she had to do was place her things in her car the morning and leave. 


But instead she was having second thoughts.


Finally she decided to get into her car and drive away. Just drive away from everything but her mind took her somewhere very familiar that even one million years she will never forget. 



She knocked on the door and waited...



7sain: what are you doing here?



Shaikha: I needed to see you...
