Mentally Occupied

21

Malik arrived the company. He directed to his office to finish some necessary work fast. Then he told his colleagues to get on with work for the day without him. He waved them good bye. He went downstairs and went to the accounts department to see Hana before he left. Hana stood up as soon as she saw him saying:

- Are you going from work now?

Wissam noticed Malik's presence and his standing with Hana and their conversation together. Malik shook affirmatively his head. He answered her question, saying:

- Yes, there is something I must complete today.

It seems to be about one of his dead companions. Hana looked at him anxiously and said while stuttering from the tension. She points towards Wissam:

- So it seems that the vision will come true today.

- What makes you say this, what happened?

Hana leaned over Malik and whispered to him so that Wissam would not hear what he was saying, which angered Wissam even more against Hana. She tried to overhear what Hana was saying, but she could not. Close to Malik's ear, Hana said:

- The office gossip seems to have followed you yesterday or maybe it was just a coincidence that she saw us when she brought me the bouquet of flowers and told Rufaida who is on her way to the company now.

Malik looked angrily at Wissam, who is watching them. Then he looked at Hana and said lowering his voice as much as possible:

- By this good according my desire is to make Rufaida think that there is another girl, but on the other hand, I do not want you to face all this alone, even though I am the reason for this! I won't leave you here. Bring your bag. Let's go together.

Wissam the Watcher looked at them every movement. She could not hear them but she was able to interpret their movements. She understood Malik's signals to Hana and he asked her to leave with him.

Hana took a quick look at Wissam. Then She moved her head away from Malik's head and looked directly at him. She shook her head, denouncing Malik's suggestion.

She said in a low voice whispering to the him. She is pursuing a particular medal:

- What?! Wissam spoke to me a lot. I'm not a coward. I don't want to leave with you now. As if I'm trying to escape from Rufaida and I don't have the courage to face her.

Wissam's gaze shifted towards the door, and suddenly a wide smile spread on Wissam's face. While Malik was about to answer Hana, Rufaida was advancing towards them. A quick step upon arrival to the company.

The long days of fasting are over. They were tiring and exhausting for Naim. It is true that he did not fast in the literal sense of the word, but he was forced to eat fasting food if he was at home, and so that Damiana would not be suspicious of him. As usual, his wife insisted that he attend the Mass and fast intermittently. He responded to it while he was indignant, and if he did not appear, he attended the mass and moved his banks as if he was repeating with them the hymns that he did not memorize, but no one cared.

They finished and everyone exchanged congratulations and decided to go home. It was past midnight. He suggested that Damiana go to a restaurant and buy ready-made food that would contain a lot of meat.

- Don't worry about it.. I handle everything..

Naim was silent and did not reply, but he kept thinking about what you mean by everything. His thinking did not guide him to an answer. He returned from the sanatorium directly to the church where Damiana was there hours before him. When did you return everything and how he had no news? Damiana was in the car until Naim got off and got out of it and opened the door for her. She extended her hand to him in a romantic way.

- Put the car in the garage and I'll wait for you upstairs.

He returned to the car. He drove it. He did not understand what his wife meant by her actions and words, her shameless laughter after the mass during their return. She winked and talked about the equipment; how she got off the car; All of these things he did not get used to until her early days, but he is first and foremost a psychiatrist. She may be going through a post-menopausal crisis. It does not matter. Everything will appear in a few minutes.

He made sure to lock the car and went up to his apartment slowly, worrying, for many months they will not have an intimate relationship. This does not bother him, on the contrary, this gives him a lot of comfort and peace of conscience, do not ask for such a relationship and consider it an insult to the soul for which the Savior sacrificed. Reduce this relationship as much as possible, especially since it will not produce a new son for the father Jesus, so what is the return from it?!

He reached the door of the apartment and found him wearing socks. He entered looking around and did not find her. He called her. A voice came to him from the kitchen asking him to change his clothes. A few minutes and everything will be ready. He shrugged his shoulder and raised one of his eyebrows and headed towards the bedroom. Silk pajamas. He returned to the reception hall in the middle of the apartment. He smelled the smell of tea coming from the dining room. He went to her and found Damiana standing waiting for him, wearing a short nightgown that revealed her thighs and half of her large, sagging breast. Spices, spices, and barbecue, duck, pigeons, meat, and chicken, a bottle of aged wine standing in front of his chair, on which he always sits, and next to it two glasses. She made Naim happy and reminded him of the days and nights of their travel abroad to obtain a doctorate, so they meant it now. He had only had a successful intimate relationship with her

There was no opportunity for Malik and Hana to complete their conversation. Rufaida descended on them like a mythical bird that appeared out of nowhere. Both Malik and Hana looked at her, and Malik wanted to end the matter and eliminate it from its roots. He wanted to put an end to all attempts at Rufaida's relationship. Malik grabbed Hana's hand carefully in front of her immediately. She looked at them strangely and amazed. She opened her mouth to the end and her eyes widened from the exclamation and surprise. Rufayda looked at their clasped hands and their mutual looks of anger and jealousy. Then Rufayda looked at Hana with examining looks from top to down while she was speaking to Malik. She said:

- I was curious to see that girl. The dazzling beauty and elegance. The one who wants to leave me for her, but after seeing her, I am no longer curious, but I laugh at her and your good taste, which has descended a lot after me It is truly for every full measure people like you deserve nothing but that.

Wissam shook her head in delight at what she was hearing and what was happening in front of her now. Wissam almost let out a loud laugh, but she grabbed her at the last moment until her face turned red. What's going on which means she's safe. She looked at Hana sarcastically said while staring at her from above to bottom:

- what was a fish? I don't remember you.

Something shrank inside Hana. A lump in her heart that made her feel an internal tremor and beats reverberating inside her and reverberating. It was a mixture of anger, eclipse and lack of self-confidence Everything a woman can overlook except for her insult from a woman like her. She may forgive the betrayal of her husband or her lover, even if she does not forget. She will not forgive the woman whose husband betrayed her with her, no matter what happens, she will become her enemy and wish to get rid of her in any way or way, and she will not feel comfortable except when she hears the news of her death, and after all this she will not forgive her either, she may forgive her friend for what she did of evil to her But she will never remain silent over an insult from her equal. A woman may tolerate humiliation from a female colleague, but if it touches her dignity, she will become and turn into a lioness. Hana felt upset at Rufaida's words, which were like a slap at her face, as she talks about Hana's relatively strange appearance, which if we compare it to the appearance and elegance of Rufaida, the comparison will certainly be in favor of the latter, and if we like to describe Hana's appearance, we will not exaggerate if we say that she has no idea about fashion trends and trends..

It is strange that Hana realizes this, and knows her backwardness from the world of modern fashion, and does not care about that. Rather, it can be said that she means that and even enjoys it, and everything has its advantages and disadvantages. She is happy with her general appearance. But in a situation like this She cannot respond with confidence and defend herself. Hana turned into a lioness, but she was wounded. The thing that Hana could not judge seriously and honestly, is she beautiful or ugly? The appearance can be controlled easily. Some new clothes, shoes and bags that are in line with the fashion, in addition to a short visit to the hairdresser and everything will be fine and her appearance will be perfect, but if she wants to change her features, then this will require plastic surgery and a high cost that she cannot afford.
