Y A S M I N "Marriage." We both said at the same time."You're joking right?" I managed to say after accessing the man for some time. A small smile appears on his lips. "Do I look like I'm joking right now, it's the only option for you guys." He said as if it's something small."Papa, this is not something to joke about, it's about my reputation I tried to maintain all these years." He said the last part slowly glancing in my direction.Wait what's with the look."I hope it's not what I'm thinking right Marwan?" I turn towards him with a look of curiousness."Mind your tongue, it's Mr. Marwan for you." He gritted clenching his jaw. Do I care?"That is not the answer to my question, I hope you're not blaming me for this, it's equally both our fault. It's not that I expect such thing to happen, and besides who is the one that hired me to work for him knowing very well you're a popular man." It seems like I don't have control of my mouth.The look he gave me almost made me think maybe

Y A S M I NI glanced at my wristwatch for the nth time 7:30 pm. Marwan texted me that he's coming by 8:00 pm that's after he's done with his office work.He has the courage to go to work in this situation.And why can't he? You also went to work. Probably with me disguising myself like some sort of thief on run.I can't begin to think about what happened in the office today. First people looking at me weirdly of course who wouldn't by the way I covered my face completely my eyes only visible. And second, the look I received from the staff inside the office. I can't work with my face covered I had to uncover it.Matilda tried squeezing some explanation out of me but I said nothing. I'm not sure about this whole thing yet. And the boss who is always smiling unlike his brother "I didn't know you have an interest in my brother" he had said.And after work, I had to cover my face again to avoid getting recognized.Ya AllahI realised out a breath I didn't know I was holding."Yasmin Mar

Y A S M I NI stared at my reflection in the mirror. I look completely different. I was dressed in a pink long gown fitted around the legs with a loose flare from the bottom, I paired it with a pink silk hijab. A lot has happened in the past two weeks, we told the reporters that we're already married already for a month. We had to do things quietly. Although my family couldn't come their support is enough for me, though Mom wasn't convinced about this marriage thing, believe me, she had to she must be afraid history to repeat itself. Sometimes I used to think it's our destiny first Sis Farah and now me.Ya Allah make it easier for me.As for Marwan, I don't know what to say, he's just present whenever he's needed. I know that he's not going to hurt me at least that's what he told me. I hope he will be true to his words."OMG look at you Yasmin you look totally different, how should I say it magnificent" Matilda beamed. She's the one doing my makeup. A smile made it way out of my lip.

Y A S M I NMy eyes fluttered open to the morning light Illuminating the room. I stretched my arms feeling better, sleeping on the bed feels so good. It's better than mine back home. My stomach made a growling sound. I didn't eat dinner last night. After doing my usual morning routine, i wore a peach floral long sleeve gown and tied my head with a black veil. I applied little powder and a nude lipstick watching my reflection on the mirror.Good.The living look much better by the sunlight illuminating through the uncovered window. Masha Allah. I find myself saying Marwan really did a good job choosing the couch design, it really took my breath away."Good morning sleepy heads." I almost flinch at the source of voice. There stood Marwan dressed in a suit with a plate of Allah knows what in his hands and a mug on the other. Ya Allah he scared me i thought he has left for office already."You scared me, how long were you standing there?." I said placing my hand on my racing heart he real

Y A S M I N "Good morning all. " Mr Sa'ad greeted after taking a seat in his usual position. We're having an emergency meeting which we're about to know about it. "Good morning. " we all said in unison."Let me get to the point, the sole reason of this emergency meeting is that one of our investors is coming from England, he's one of our biggest investors. And he's thinking of investing in our other branch, so i want each and everyone of you to prepare. This is our chance to get more recognised by the world. With that being said i will take my leave. " he rushed out of the meeting room with Linda tailing behind him."Oh God what a stressful day, i hate working late. " Matilda groaned tapping her foot in annoyance. "Calm down girl, its not something you're not used to " i said patting her shoulder."Look at how you're glowing. I want to get married too. " she fake a cry.This girl with her drama."Then do it" i teased getting a scowl from her."Okay enough with the teasing, since yo
