Zain........



I stood there msa6la shwy...y3ne jad 6a7saa oo madry shasawy. I pressed the elevator button and then got in going to the 39th floor. I sat at my desk staring at the papers in my hand.I had to revise a bank statement that s3ood wrote and edit it, print it and get it to s3ood by......i stared at my watch....5ara....three hours bass !!! I turned on the computer and stared at the paper for a while msa6la....littereraly msa6la..!!



"ohh so wi9alich your paper work..." said jassim standing behind me, "yebay 5al ashoof..." he took the paper and started scanning them then he grinned, "allah y3eenich....3ad ma7a6och ella 3ind s3ood...hatha killish mayir7am..."



"shlon ya3ne..." i asked helplessly.



"y3ne kilshay lazim ykoon perfect !" he looked at my disheveled look and smiled, "5al asa3dich shwy kisartay 5a6re...." he set his work in the table and leaned over as he showed me what to do on the computer and how the work had to be done.



"mashkoooooor....7adik in8a'6...." i said as i started editing. I was too engrossed into the work with my phone on silent and the papers scattered all over my desk and didnt notice mariam comming, i just saw a cup of coffee on my desk. I looked up at mariam. "thank youuuu...." i said as i sipped the coffee.



"this is the first day...oo chethee....bsss matinlamain etha 7a6eenich ma3 s3ood....yuma y5ari3ny tara wallah...mayi'67ak y3ne shda3awa 3alai....elkil y5af minna ..actually they respect him wayid ...wallah agolich....la y5afoon minna..."



"i get your point..." i giggled.



"shkithir bigalich...." she said and looked at the computer.



"wallah mowayid....abaaai awal marra ashti'3il halkithir ib this amount of time...." i sighed.



"wallah 3ad ma3 s3ood espect the unexpected...yalla see you..." she said and went to her booth. I cracked my neck and resumed my work. At about 12pm, jassim passed by and told me that its the lunch break, although i wasnt really hungry but i needed energy since its all been wasted on this stupid paper work. I went with jassim to the first floor and headed over to starbucks, i ordered a muffin and sat on the table with a magazine in my hand. i can atleast enjoy this half an hour with celebrity gossip i guess....i giggled to myself.



"Hi...." came a high-pitched female voice. I looked up at shoug. I looked around, but she was talking to me.....weird.



"uhh hi...."



She grabbed a seat and sat down putting her tray on the table. i was too surprised to speak.



"3ady mo9a7..." she said after she sat down.



"ee...." b3d sheno y3ne...b3d mabasa6ay. i nibbled on my muffin silently.



"ana shoug....ham yideeda...9arly 1 week hnee..."



"ahhh...ana tawne elyoum..." She looked at me.



"entay.....uhhh ma3 s3ood mo9a7...." haha i was waiting for his name to be brought up. I nodded. "3ad kint abee a9eer weyaa...bsss yallah...." she said and ate her pannini and eyed me.



"fee shay..." i asked.



"uhh la bas shaklich 7ilo....iltop 7ada cute ma3 ilskirt..."



"ahh umm mashkoora..." uffff inshalla tgoom...this is really awkward. "ummm laish kintay tabeen t9eereen ma3 s3ood...?"



She seemed takenback by my bluntness but soon recovered and smiled, "laish matadreen...?"

I looked at her blankly."s3ood was my ex."



My eyes widened. She was his EX...oo she works in the same company that he works in oooo she wanted to be with him.....

"ahhh...."



"bas were still close...." she waved her hand, "actually really close....a7is he still has feelings for me bainy oo bainich...la2 i know he does...."



Sh'hal thi8a. Plus, shes telling me too much..ya3ne i dont know her. At that time s3ood came with his walk so manly and his face so arrogant and stood in line to get him a snack. Wallah zain nazzal roo7a oo 6ilab 7ag roo7a oo ma6arash a7ad. He took his order and when he passed me and shoug he raised flicked a glance at us, raised an eyebrow then continued walking and went back up..to his office i presume. His stern look sent shivers throughout my body and stood up,

"lazim aroo7 a5ali9 ilpaper work....." i said quickly and went up to my desk and continued working like crazy.



After a while when i revised everything i went to the printer room and took the papers, stapled them and put them neatly into a folder and headed up to the 4oth floor. I went up and looked for s3ood's room, when i reached it i entered and got in and the his secretary looked up at me.



"mar7aba ...an azain oo 3indy awrag 7ag s3ood...e7m..stath s3ood..." i corrected.



"ahhh da2ee2a shwy....." she called s3ood, "uhh staz s3ood...zain 3indha awra2 ellak...ahhh okay..." she shut the phone, "5ala9 ana bsalimloo yahon...."



"ahh okay,,," i smiled, handed her the papers and walked out with a weight being lifted from me. I walked to my office and sat with a smile on my face, my first work is done..completed. I checked my mobile and found two messages from 5alid.

I smiled, i was about to answerhim when my phone on my table rang. I picked it up,



"aloo...zain...? "



"ee na3am..."



"ana rana secertairat stath s3ood...bass ezaa feeke tijee la2ano bedoo yaki...."



"ahh okay.." i shut the phone. I headed to the room and the secertary told me to head into s3ood's room. I knocked and entered, his room was of dark wood and there were two leather couches faceing eachother in the middle seperated by a table, then his office in the end. He looked up and motioned for me to sit down. I sat and adjusted my skirt...waiting for him to praise my hard work..being a new employee. He cleared his throat.



"uhhh...." he seemed to be looking for my name on the paper.



"zain..." i said.



"entay mi8tan3a billi ma36atnee yaa..." he said with the papers in his hand. I looked up and nodded hesitantly. "ah....bss hathaa mokamil..nagi9....tigdereen tgoleen enna killish mokamil...." he set the papers on the table. I looked at the papers my eyes fixed on them. He rubbed his head and said, "abeech t3edeena..."



"sheno...." i looked up.



"abeech t3edeena..." he answered, when i didnt respond he added, "lazim tbalsheen fee el7een 3alashan ta36eene yaa gabil nihayat ildawam...."



"bass ana mofahma shfee..." i looked up at him, hurt.



" ahh...."



"zain !" i said clipply.



"zain...hatha sho'3ol oo lazim ykoon 5alee mn il3yoob youm a8adma 7ag ilbank....oo hathaa..." he motioned for the papers, "hathaaa.....mashoof enna yi9la7 enne a8adma ya3ne..."



"wallah ana mashoof fee shay..." i cut him.



He raised an eye brow, "oo ana agoolich enna lazim t3eedeena.....5alay a7ad ysa3dich fee..."



I looked into his brown eyes and a lump formed in my throat, but i squared my shoulders and stood up oo madait eedi 3ashan ya36eene the papers.



"malhom da3ee...abeech t3eedeena killa...." His phone rang and he answered it, i was still standing and he looked up at me, "tigdireen tro7een...."

I raised my chin and turned around walking with long strides out of the room. But when i got into the elevator i sagged and dried my damp eyes. I went to my desk and started working on it all over again, mariam assisted me...so did jassim...and i was truly grateful. It was 3pm and i still didnt finish.



"yalla ana mashya...allah y3eenich 7abeebty..." said mariam and headed out. I was the only one left along with another employee. After i collected the papers from the printing room, i headed to s3ood's office. I entered and the secretary had already left, so i knocked on his door.



"tfa'6al..." i heard. I entered and walked to his desk.



"ilawraag..." i said as i handed him the papers. He scanned the papers, then set them on the table.



"okay..." he said.



Okay....OKAY ?!? i worked my ass off...oo i only get an "okay"......



I turned to leave,



"nshofich bacher..."



I forced a smile and headed out. I got into the car and dialled 5alids number,



"aloo...wainich 7ayate "



"tawne 6al3a mn ilsharika..."



"lail7een...laish.."



"lena my paper work mo3ajib stath s3ood 7a'6rita oo galee a3eeda..."



"hahaa hatha awal youm oo chethee.."



"ee shift shlon....offff 7adi ta3bana..."



"Ya7alatta wallah....yalla roo7ay ilbait..ta'3aday oo t7amimay oo i5theelich noma..."



"hmmm...shaklee im gonna skip everything o head straight to bed...for a nap...."



"hehe 3afya 3al sha6ra....yallah tabeen shay..."



"salamtik 7abeeby..." i shut the phone. I got home and saw my mom and dad in the 9ala. uhhh i have to look like i can handle everything to my dad, the sooner he thinks im capable of working the sooner i get to work at his company and away from s3ood.I straightened my shoulders and put a smile on my face,"hala...."



My father looked up, "haa shlon ilsho'3ol..."



"wallah zain....wanasa..mo shay magdar 3alai..." i said to him.
