You office series# 1
"I love her so much, It physically pains me to imagine a life without her, I feel like I won't survive a single second, without her. I feel I am drowning and only she could save me, But here I am, drowning without her, and she'...

I watch the taxi drive off on the road in which Mrs. Muqaddes rushed with her luggage.
Her elder sister who lived in her village, sadly passed away this morning so she had to rush there as her sister had nobody.
If I hadn't had any commitments, I would've went along with her.
But I had. And I had a very big commitment today.
Today was the final presentation day of the mall project in front of all the chief architects of the departments, whose presentation will be best, their idea would be executed.
I wanted to go to the office two hours prior the meeting. But now I am one hour late and...
I look at Noor in my arms. "What are we going do today?"
Noor juts out her lip, her small shoulders lifting up in a shrug.
I narrow my eyes. "You are understanding what I am talking?"
She blinks at me.
I huff out a small laugh and take out my phone. I would've carried Noor in her stroller, but I lost it somewhere and I am unable to think where, maybe Mrs. Muqaddes threw it away last week along with her few things which she removed from her apartment.
How can I even lose a stroller? Something is really wrong with my memory.
"Hello, Manar?" Eman's voice says through the phone's speaker.
"Eman." I take a breath. "Has everyone arrived yet?"
"No not yet, but they will in an hour. Where are you?"
"Still at my apartment. I think I might be late, can you put me last please? I have to drop by the day care."
"Day care? But why?"
"Mrs. Muqaddes had an emergency so she had to leave, and I don't know anyone I trust to leave Noor with."
"Then bring her here." She says immediately.
"I don't think that would be wise. Besides, I would be busy and Noor doesn't do well with new people." Noor snuggles against me just when an elderly couple pass by us and smiles at Noor.
"Don't worry about her, me and Mahib can look after her. Even Zayed is here today, he can look after her."
"But..." I bite my lips. "What will others say?"
"That you are a mother, and we are helping you. If they have something to say they can do that while carrying their termination letter."
"Oh Eman." I sigh. "That's very nice of you but I don't want others to suffer because of me."
"You won't. Now come on, be here soon."
With that she hangs up and I stare at the blank screen.
I look at Noor and adjust the bow on her head. "Looks like you are going to have a trip to mummy's office."
