Can we just be us? Part 56

Part 56

Waking up in the morning was the moment meera always looked forward to. She would look to her side and find hamad asleep shirtless. She would stare at him and he would catch her doing so sometimes. This time she turned around to feel an empty spot. She wondered what he was doing right this moment. The bed felt strange being in it alone. Grabbing her robe she walked out and walked past hamad's room, it was empty and he was nowhere to be seen.

She missed the days that she would spend cooking breakfast while he sat on the stool waiting. Filling her cup with coffee she checked her phone. 7 messages all from hessa saying

'We aren't done yet'

'You better tell us the whole story'

'I'm not waiting; we are meeting for lunch today'

'I don't care if you are busy'

'The usual'

'Don't be late'

'And don't you dare cancel on us'

It seemed like she was conversing with herself. Meera only laughed at the messages while reading it. Now she had no excuses left.  They will have millions of questions and she didn't know if she wanted to answer them.

...

Hessa: see I told you she'll show up

Aisha: I wasn't worried 

Hessa: lies

She snorted at Aisha as meera walked towards them

Hessa: so? Why the hell didn't you say anything earlier 

Aisha: will you let her speak

And there they went arguing, it was a must between those two. They were getting into the argument and forgot about Meera's presence. She was glad but if she didn’t tell them the whole story today they would bug her for the rest of her life 

Meera: do you want to know what happened or not?

Hessa: moody are we now 

Aisha: would you just let her tell us what the hell is happening

Meera: jawaher got a divorce and met with hamad when her divorce was finalized

Aisha: does she know he's married?

Hessa: ofcourse she knew that bitch

Meera: she says she didn't 

Ignoring hessa's outrage

Meera: and I hired her without knowing her connection to hamad 

Aisha: this is absurd just fire her and get someone else 

Meera stayed quite not knowing what to say to her friends

Hessa: you didn't fire her yet? What the fuck are to waiting for?

Meera: there is nothing going on between them and besides we got married for appearances only nothing more than that

Aisha: but I thought you guys were you know

Meera: we were just caught up in a moment

Both Aisha and Hessa looked at each other.

Meera: seriously guys don't worry about it

Aisha: can you honestly say that you don't have feeling for him?

Meera: i don’t have feelings for hamad.

She lied.

...

Abdulra7man: how come you didn't tell me jawaher's back?

Hamad: I'm going to kill Saif !!!

Abdulra7man: did you see her again

He said ignoring hamad's last comment

Hamad: she came by the house

Abdulra7man looked shocked 

Haamd: it was a misunderstanding 

Abdulra7man: with jawaher it never is, just be careful man

Abdulra7man knew better than to lecture him. Eventually hamad was going to do whatever he wanted 


Ahmed: thank you for agreeing to today

Ruqayah: I don't think your mother likes me

Ahmed: don't worry about it, my mom is going to come around 

He kissed her lips

She pulled out her ring and put it back on

Ahmed: I sure do have a good taste

Ruqayah: meera told me she helped you look for the perfect ring

Ahmed: that babble mouth

She had a worried look on her face

Ahmed: thank you for not saying anything about the ring, and this marriage proposal

Ruqayah: i love you 

She held his face 

Ahmed: i love you too

She got into her car

Ahmed: I'll see you later baby 

He kissed her forehead and closed the door behind her. Then she drove away.
Ahmed had arranged for his mother to meet Ruqayah. He insisted on saeed to come along to ease the mood a little. And he wanted his family to meet her.
His mother and saeed where in the living room and he could see the disapproving look on his mother's face. Saeed on the other hand wanted to run away knowing what was going to happen

Mother: I dont like her

Getting straight to the point

Ahmed: you just met her, I think it needs more time

He tried staying calm

Mother: i am able to judge people Ahmed,  she is not right for you

Ahmed: you barely know her!!!

His voice getting louder

Their mother just remained quite not budging 

Ahmed: i proposed to her, I just need your blessing 

She got up and said

Mother: I'm not giving it to you

Then walked away
