Can we just be us? Part 5

Part 5

Saif: my mom sure knows how to pick em (he said testing the waters)

She just laughed.

Hessa: I'm going to tell my mother I had a good time, I'm guessing so are you

She got up after saying that and was ready to leave when he held her hand and stopped her

Saif: the night is still young (he said still seated while holding her hand)

She looked down at him and saw what the other girls saw. He sure knew how to attract them. To her, he was just a man her mother picked. They both clearly uninterested in what both their mothers had in mind. Might at least have fun with it.

Hessa: girls fall for that? (she said sitting back down)

Saif: women do

She laughed again, he was freakishly confident and anything he says 'women' would fall for. He on the other said was surprised by her reaction to all this. His mother would pick ladies who were younger, inexperienced and naive. Hessa clearly knows what she is getting herself into and isn't falling for it. He guessed that his mother didn't know what Hessa was really like, might as well have fun with all this.

Saif: how old are you?

Hessa: didn't your mother brief you already?

She knew how to hit a nerve. She could read it on his face that he would do anything his mother would tell him, despite the bad boy image he gives off.

Saif: 30?

Hessa: 28 (she said trying to maintain her temper)

She said annoyed and he could sense it. She was afraid of hitting 30 and that she wasn't  going to remain young forever. They sure knew how to get on each other's nerves. After all it was a game to the both of them.

Saif: a sensitive topic?

Hessa: what?

Saif: you're going to play dumb?

Hessa: I though you liked your 'women' dumb and naive

He smirked, she was something alright. By this time he would be at home taking advantage of a woman that he picked up. It was the first time he had an actual conversation with a woman for this long.

Meanwhile...

Getting out of his car he took a deep breath. It is going to be a long night. He walked towards his parents main door and turned the knob. His nephews jumped on him planning this from the moment they heard that their uncle was coming over. He carried both of them up.

Hamad: you boys are getting bigger, what is your mother feeding you?

Fatima: latfawel 3ala 3yaali

He smiled the moment he saw his older sister. It has been awhile and he missed her.

Hamad: If your here that means it sure is going to be a late night

With that said, his mother walked in

Mom: laish wagfeen hnii, ed5lew e9ala

All three walked to the living where they spotted their father.

Hamad: hala uboi, sh7alk?

Both his grandsons ran to him to sit on his lap. Hamad was grateful to see his family all together. 

With old age his father became softer and more keen to his grandsons.

Dad: emsawi balawi ya hamad

That was when hamad felt embarassed, even his father knew about it.

Mom: I told your father about this

Hamad: they are just rumors (he said scratching his head while laughing in an embarrassed way)

He felt like a kid being scolded again.

To his father it wasn't as big as what his mother thinks. Boys will be boys. Hamad's father knew that hamad was doing a good job at managing the company a few rumors here and there never hurt anyone as long as the company was fine. Hamad just reminded him of himself back in the day, the ladies man he used to be before he met hamad's mother.

Mom: this is not the first time

Hamad: its good to be on magazines, publicity (he said calmly)

Mom: not when it is bad publicity

Hamad's father just remained quite listening to his wife and much as he hates to admit it his wife was right.

Fatima: there is a way to fix this you know

Both his sister and mother looked at each other knowing what both were talking about. They have been discussing this for quite some time.


Mom: you need to get married
