THAT NIGHT

Chapter 6

"What do you want to know?" Lincoln asked
"I know that you and Mr. Mustafa were friends and most of us know the tragic incident that happened to them... I want to know how was your reaction when you heard the news for the first time?"

What's this guy talking about? Who are Taled family?" Mason asked
"Mustafa, Taled family... these names are familiar to me," Yasmine said to herself.

Lincoln didn't answer at first and remained silent, and Marwan looked at him and waited for his answer.
"Come on criminal talk," Marwan said to himself.

"I and Mustafa were friends because of work we were dealing with each other a lot so... I didn't know how to react When I heard the news I felt bad and I asked myself who could do such a thing... I was home when I heard the news"
"You were home and asked yourself who could do such a thing... look in the mirror and answer yourself," Marwan said to himself.

"What's going on Olivia who is Mustafa Taled?"
"I have no idea Yasmine It's the first time I hear his name"
Marwan heard their conversation
"No, she's not my sister what I'm saying, Yasmine was only two maybe she forgot," Marwan said to himself then he put his hand on his forehead.

"That's all thank you for the answer, Mr. Lincoln," Samuel said
"Why do you want to know about Mustafa Taled?" Lincoln asked
"I wanted to know your reaction to the incident because of your friendship"
Lincoln nodded
"Okay... Let's go back to our topic."

The conference ended and people began to leave
"Finally...it's over"
"Yeah it was very educational"
"You're right very educational... Yasmine let's go to a restaurant"
"Are you hungry?"
"Yes, I'm starving. are you coming?"
"Yes I'm coming because I'm hungry too"

They were about to leave and they saw Mason in front of them Olivia looked at Yasmine.
"Can you get out of the way, please?" Yasmine asked
"I'm not preventing you... Go"
They looked at each other angrily for a minute then Yasmine and Olivia left
"Very annoying girl," Mason said

Yasmine and Olivia were about to leave
"Yasmine wait" Marwan ran to them
"Do you need anything Marwan?" Yasmine asked
"No, I just want to say goodbye before you leave"
"Well thank you"
"Did you like the conference?"
"It was great as I expected but..."
"But what?"

"They talked about Taled"
Marwan expression changed
"What about them?" Marwan asked with hope in his voice
"This name is familiar to me"
"Where did you hear it?"
Yasmine raised her shoulders
"I don't know"

"Do you live here with your parents?" Marwan asked
"Yes I'm...but I'm adopted" Marwan raised an eyebrow
"So where are you from Yasmine?"
"I'm from Egypt"
"Egypt," Marwan said with disappointment
"Where are you from Marwan?"
"I'm from Iraq"
"Cool," Yasmine said while smiling.

"What's your family name?"
"Austin, Yasmine Austin"
"How old were you when you were adopted?"
Yasmine looked at him with confusion
"I'm sorry I asked too many personal questions"

"I'm so left out...why they don't talk to me I'm here, too," Olivia said to herself.

"It's okay I was three when I was adopted"
Salem's smile dropped
"I'm happy for you"
"Thank you"
"Sorry I took a lot of your time"
"No, It's okay," Yasmine said

"Yasmine, do you want to buy some chips on the way" Olivia asked
"Yes of course I want to," She said with excitement
"Do you like chips?" Marwan asked
"Yes It's my favorite"
"I said that to participate with them... Now I've left out again" Olivia said to herself and looked away.

"But it's not very healthy you know"
"Yeah That's the bad part but I cannot stop eating it, it's been my favorite Since I was little"
Marwan smiled nervously "Oh really" "Hmm... Sorry, we need to go... So"
"Yeah sure take care of yourself"
"Thank you very much you take care of yourself too... Goodbye"
"Goodbye."
