Meeting in Paris

Part Twenty-Two

The next morning, Nadia woke up from her sleep and her mind was still thinking about yesterday.

What was the reason for her kissing contracting suddenly while she was in her happy moments with Albert Camus?

Is it the fear of waking up from this beautiful dream, or is it the fear of the unknown when she returns to work?

And her first life in Egypt.  Nadia got up and felt that her body was in severe pain and heavy, and here she called Magda to help her go to the bathroom.....

Magda: Good morning, Dr. Nadia (Magda no longer calls Nadia without nicknames as she did when they arrived in Paris, because Magda knows very well that Nadia is not in her normal state, and even if she was in her normal state, Magda took a vow to herself not to erase the differences between her and Nadia) She convinced herself that this period had ended, especially since the end of the conference and return to Egypt was approaching. Magda hurried to Dr. Nadia in order to help her enter the bathroom.

After Nadia finished taking a warm shower and changed her clothes with Magda's help, Nadia still felt the same pain in her body, so Magda helped her and went back to bed again.

Magda: How do you feel,
Dr. Nadia, that I see you are not well?

Nadia: I don't know, Magda, what happened to me yesterday, I feel a terrible headache and pain spreading throughout my body.

Magda: Dr. Nadia, then in this case the doctor must be called in order to find out the causes of this pain and headache.

Nadia: Indeed, Magda, the doctor must be called. Nadia gave the phone numbers of the Sorbonne University secretariat to Magda in order to inform them of Dr. Nadia’s illness and the need for a doctor.

Not even a quarter of an hour had passed, and Magda found the doorbell ringing.

She opened the door and found a forty-five-year-old man with a bag and speaking in classical Arabic, saying...

Man: Good morning, my lady .

Magda: Good morning, sir

Man: Does Dr. Nadia live here?

Magda: Yes, but who are you?

Man: I am the doctor who was summoned by the university for the medical examination of Dr. Nadia.

Magda: She welcomed the doctor and made him wait in the hall so that she could inform Dr. Nadia and be ready for the medical examination.

Then Magda went out to take the doctor to Dr. Nadia's room.

Doctor: Good morning, my lady

Nadia: Morning doctor Doctor: My name is Dr. Talal Al-Moussawi from Iraq and I have been working here in Paris for twenty years

Nadia: Hello and welcome, Dr. Talal. I am Dr. Nadia Khalil, Doctor of Modern Philosophy at the Faculty of Arts, Cairo University, and I have been here for about a month to attend the annual conference of the Sorbonne University.

Dr. Talal: Oh, Egypt is the mother of the world, and what is your complaint, Dr. Nadia?

Nadia: Since yesterday I have been feeling a very terrible headache in my head and severe pain spreading throughout my body.

Dr. Talal: Dr. Nadia, will you give me permission to perform a medical examination for you?

And Dr. Talal actually began to examine Dr. Nadia in the presence of Magda. When Dr. Talal finished the examination, he turned to Magda and said, I want something warm from you for Dr. Nadia, and let it be for him, and I want A cup of coffee and you're done.
