Part 12
Their lives were getting busier and the wedding date was set. After 2 months everything would be official. Meera has gotten busy with her work and family stuff since the news got out she was getting married. She has already met with his family, meeting his cousins and family friends. But all she could think of is the reason behind this marriage. To all these people she was lying to them by pretending to be the trophy wife in hamad's hands.
A phone call disrupted her thoughts
Hessa calling...
Hessa: Aisha's going into labor
Meera: wait what? now? ill be over right away
She got into her car and drove straight to the hospital. She saw Hessa walking into the front door and joined her
Meera: did you talk to her?
Hessa: she has been here for over five hours
They walked to the elevator and pressed on the sixth floor, the doors were about to close when a man stood in front of it preventing it from doing so. Meera looked up to find Hamad standing right in front of her with his collar unbuttoned and a loose tie. He obviously left work for this knowing his cousin needed him to calm his nerves down.
Hamad: hi
Meera: hi
She went over to his house and meet his family, sit with his mother and sister but he was never there. He was always busy, and she never stayed there for a long time since she had things to do. She stood there looking at him for a moment which seemed a lot while he walked over and stood beside her. It was the first time they saw each other since the evening they had with both their parents. But people don't know that since she would lie and say that they meet each other every now and then.
While the elevator doors opened, Meera felt something grabbing onto her hand. It was Hamad holding her hand before anyone could spot them. She was surprised but still played along. They walked hand in hand with Hessa behind them towards Aisha's room.
Both Aisha's abdulra7man's parents were there for support, it was their first grand babies after all. In addition to the support, Hamad's sister and mother were also there. That was why hamad put on a show.
Aisha: your here
Hessa: how are you feeling? (she walked over to her sitting next to her on the bed)
Meera was astonished by the people here supporting Aisha. Seeing all her family in one place is something new to her. Her family was never like that, all they did was argue.
Fatima: you two came together?
Referring to Hamad and Meera holding hands. Hamad's grip got tighter while talking to his sister.
Meera: no, we came here separately but met at the elevator
Hamad's mom: ohh meera 7abeebti (she said emotionally)
Meera hugged her with her free hand but still held onto Hamad. They didn't let go of each other.
Hamad: she is always emotional when it comes to these things
Meera laughed, she saw his mother as her own in some way. Although she is her mother in law but she treated her like her very own, more than what her own mother did.
Hamad: 7abeebti ana baseer achoof 7amani
When she heard the words '7abeebti' she held onto him tighter and looked into his eyes
Meera: ok (she smiled to him)
And with that they let go of each other. Hamad started to walk away, he looked down at his hand confused.
Hamad: how you holding up?
Abdulra7man: good I think
Hamad: Saif says he will be here later, since you know it is a family thing
...
Aisha: you two could've fooled me
Meera: worry about me later, it's all about you today
Hessa: she is right
They could see it in her eyes that she was scared even if she wouldn't say it.
Meera: sweetie everything will be alright
Hessa: just breath, you're doing great
They reassured her while her contractions were getting heavier and heavier
Aisha: I think it is time
Meera and Hessa left Aisha with her mother to go and have the twins while they waited outside with the rest. Meera could see Hamad trying to calm abdulra7man down while his wife went into labor. She wondered what that feeling was when he touched her hand. She brushed it off assuming it was because all of the pretending. An hour and a half later it was over. Aisha have delivered the twins, and the family started to leave, leaving the couple with their new born babies and for Aisha to rest.
Hessa: they are so cute
Meera: I know, with their little feet and hands
The girls were talking when Hamad's mom interrupted them
Hamad's mom: come on, let them rest
They decided to visit her tomorrow. Hamad walked beside his mother and sister with Meera and Hessa down in the elevator. Hessa got into her car and left while Meera stayed to say her goodbyes to her mother and sister in law.
Hamad: ma3asalamah
They got into the car and the driver drove away
Hamad: let me walk you to your car
He offered to walk her although there was no one around. They walked alongside each other until they reached her car.
Meera: that's me
He opened the door for her and stood right in front of her. She turned around about to get in when he called out her name
Hamad: Meera, wait
