Can we just be us? Part 53

Part 53

Meera: but I still want it a relaxed theme, with a brain storming room if it’s possible

The sound of the door unlocked and shuffling sounds interrupted them

Meera: that’s my husband, hunni come in here, we have a guest

Hamad walked to the living room

Hamad: what the hell are you doing here?

Jawaher: hamad I-

Meera: you guys know each other?

She looked at the both of them confused; she wondered if she missed something

Hamad: get out

Meera: hamad! She is still a guest

Hamad glared at meera, he was mad

It was meera’s first time to see him this way

Jawaher: I’m sorry about this; I think I have to go

She picked up her things and walked out the door

Meera tried calling her out but she didn’t look back. Jawaher got in her car and drove off leaving her samples and some documents back at the coffee table.
Hamad just remained quite not wanting to face it. Meera on the other hand wanted to know exactly what the hell just happened.

Meera:  she is your ex-girlfriend that left you to marry someone else isn’t she?

Hamad froze in his place knowing she would eventually figure it out, he didn’t know what to say and just stood there like a statue.

The kids were still up watching TV in the next room

Meera: come on munchkins time for bed

They followed her out to get ready for bed

Hamad stayed in the living room trying to know what happened. Minutes later meera walked out of the bedroom where the kids were and closed the door behind her.

Hamad: she came by to my office the other day

He said looking down not daring to look her in the eye

Meera: its fine hamad

He looked up and looked her directly in the eyes. She wasn’t saying anything but her soft smile meant hurt.

Only if hamad saw that.


It was a long day of shopping for furniture they were almost done for the day when a woman in over worn cloths with her terrified son at her side was clenching on to Hessa’s arm. 

She held her tight making hessa jump at her sight

Woman: may god bless you, please help me, I'm in need of money

Fatima was tongue tied; she never knew what to do in these situations. All she did was look at the woman's son and his terrier expression.  It was clear that he was forced to dress the way he was and beg for money in a populated mall with his mother. 

Hessa couldn't help but feel bad of the boy. Saif on the other her hand approached a sales man and indicated calling security.

Saif: keep up with the image that your store holds

He grabbed hessa by the hand and just like that walked towards the cash register. 

Hessa was confused on what just happened. Was it a bad thing to just give the woman some money? She thought to herself.

Walking towards the parking lot hessa spotted the boy sitting on the bench alone

Saif opened the car trunk placing the stuff in the car and walked over to open the door for hessa

Saif: babe I'll be back in a sec

He walked over to the boy and took out a 500 dollar bill

Saif : spend it well kid

Then walked away

Saif got in the car and pulled out getting ready to leave

Hessa: what was that?

Saif: the kid needs to learn a couple of stuff

They drove by to where the boy was sitting and saw him getting in a car with his mother at the driver seat and handing her what seemed like a 500 dollar bill.

Hessa: was that you?

Saif: it's no big deal

Hessa was impressed at how he handled it. She regretted that she doubted it, he knew what he was doing and did everything for a reason. Saif was the type of guy that believed in the saying: you get what you work hard for.

She was slowly seeing the man he truly was and loved him more every day.  

She was glad that they were moving in together and cleared all the doubts that she had.
