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
Y A S M I NAnother week came by faster than expected. Both of us have been busy with office work, we barely see each other. After finishing from office i will pick Amir from Aunt place, put him to bed. Sometimes i go to bed without eating dinner too tired to cook. It was 7:00pm in the evening when we came back from aunt house, we didn't do much at the office. After freshening up, i wore a light beige gown tying my hair in a messy bun and wore a cotton cap.Amir had already eaten in Aunt place so i just put him to bed seeing how his eye lid are closing on their own. During this past few weeks, I've gotten attached to Amir so much, the boy doesn't have any problem, quite and calm.The kitchen was clean as always. I decided to make a potato with sauce and a raspberry juice. A smirk appear on my lips remembering the incident. I will make plenty just in case Marwan comes back early, my thought was caught short when i heard the door closing. It must be Marwan. Wiping my hands with a clean
Y A S M I NOkay i know i told Marwan not to talk to me but i was just joking and he took it serious. He's giving me silent treatment since morning and having my pride i won't talk you too.There is not much to do back in the office, so i came back early after picking up Amir from his school, I'm supposed to go back home but i stopped by Aunt house. The moment Amir spot Aunt he ran towards her. The kid must be getting along with aunt."Did you come together with the driver. " Aunt asked now carrying Amir on her arms."No, actually there wasn't much to do in the office so picked him up by myself and we decided to stop by." her lips form an 'o' That's nice of you, you know I'm getting attached to Amir and tomorrow is Saturday which means he won't be coming here. " aunt said letting out a sigh."Don't worry we will come together and spend the weekend with you. " i said stretching my legs on the center table.Alright let me go and prepare something for you guys. " and she ventured to the
Y A S M I NAfter Marwan told me we're going out, i couldn't contain my excitement. For the first time since our marriage we're going out together. Not knowing where Marwan is taking me, i changed my clothes into a simple peach blouse with a small black veil, with a touch of nude lipstick and descended downstairs where i spot him leaning on the couch headrest pressing on his phone, Amir by his side."Ehem...." i cleared out my throat revealing my presence. Amir Ran to me and hug my knees with his tiny hands.That's my boy. " I crouched down to his level kissing his forehead."You know if not that we're going out, i would've said you should leave your hair open. " Marwan started, watching me with an amusement smile."And you know that is not possible but maybe some other day, maybe. " i said feeling proud Marwan liked something about me."You don't stop to amaze me with your jokes Yasmin. " walking towards the door, and flinging it open."But I'm not joking. " i ushered back following
Y A S M I NThe kiss was slow yet it hold something, a feeling I can't fathom. Snaking his hands around my waist, he pulled me more to his body. Even with the water pouring on us, I still felt the heat radiating off my body. The kiss didn't last longer when a loud sound echoed from the room, pulling us apart from each other. Suddenly the water stopped pouring, I don't know how it happened, I heard the movement of Marwan. Maybe he stopped itbut how did the water break out in the first placeI didn't dare to look up. I was beyond shy. It's as if my foot was glued to the floor, I couldn't move. The sound began again."I think you need to take that call. " Marwan said, his voice cracking at the end.I think I'm going to give that someone a piece of my mind for interrupting us Poor youI ran out of the bathroom, water dripping from my clothes and took my phone from the night stand. My brows crinkled seeing Sis Farah name flashed across the screen.why is she calling in this late night
Y A S M I N"What are we?" I said straight to the point. My eyes was down not wanting to meet his eyes. sometimes the face could be lying. I fidget with my fingers, my heart thumping."I-" suddenly the ringing of his phone interrupt what he's about to say. "Let me take this" he said. I heard him muttered "Assalamu Alaikum" and then nothing could heard again silence. Raising up my head, The sight I saw in front of me made my eyes widen. Marwan face was in a horrified expression his phone glued to his ear."Marwan?" I called his name."Marwan" I called again, his eyes turning reddish as he stared at something which i don't know. My heart continued thumping not at what he's going to say, but at how his mood changes completely. Panic rose inside me catching a glimpse of his hands which fell over the table. "Are you okay? say something please, Marwan?" I bombarded at once, rushing to his table. I tapped his shoulder lightly."Pa-pa" he muttered to almost himself but I heard him.Ya Allah
Y A S M I N"Are we staying the night? " I asked after a moment of five minute silence. it's already past 10 and I didn't hear him say anything about going back home."Do you want to go home?" he replied back with a question, his eyes are now turning back to their old self. "No, I'm just asking maybe, you know we haven't visit Amir in Aunt place since yesterday. I told her about...." suddenly the door burst open cutting me off. it was the young lady I saw the other time with the woman. "What happened Naila?" Marwan started seeing the look on her face, so I'm not the only one who notice the frown on her face."Mom wants to talk to you. " she muttered, something like hate, bitter coming from her voice."Okay, I'm coming, just give me five minutes. " the lady called Naila rolled her, which I didn't miss to see and shut the door with a loud thud. "We will pick him up tomorrow, now lets go meet my mom, I didn't get to introduce you two earlier. " so that was his mom I wanted to ask him
Y A S M I NWe spent three days in Papa house before going back to our own. A lot has happened in the past three days, Aunt also came and offered her condolences. Marwan got back to work, as he now has more responsibilities than before. We both were busy with our owns works. dropping Amir in aunts place as usual. Even with our distances we still manage to talk during the night, though it's not much but it still better than not talking."Matilda can you help me check this power point if it's okay for the presentation. " The shareholders are coming tomorrow, so everyone is preparing a presentation as per the boss order. Matilda whose eyes was glued to the computer screen for the past thirty minutes, whirled her chair to my desk. "Its okay, you just need to make a few changes like the text size, it should be a little bit bigger and the line spacing shouldn't be too tight. " "Sure thanks. " I'm glad I have someone to correct my mistakes. No matter how good you are in something there mus
