Suhyla's Office on the media.

Suhyla's P.O.V.

"Assalamu Alaikum, Salman" I greeted the doorman as he held the door open for me.

"Wa alaikumus salam, Madam. You look extra happy today" he answered with a cheery smile,

I answered "Why yes, indeed I am very happy today, isn't it just a lovely day?"

"Yes it is, I hope we'll all share your happiness today" he said

"Inshallah (If Allah wills) you will, have a lovely day" I said and started walking towards the elevator, faintly hear him say Inshallah.

Salman is an elderly Egyptian man, that works as a doorman here at our work building; he's a very cheerful, friendly and perceptive man. Highly respected and loved in the building, respects people's privacy and is not the gossiping type. He moved back here with his wife Maryam and their son Usman who is now married and has two kids. I've met them once when mama invited them over during her annual dinners. she likes to host them every year, over working herself, cooking, organizing the night, rather than hiring someone else to do it. She invites almost everyone over, way too many people if you ask but she claims 'it's sunnah to invite other muslims into your house and feed them with love to it's peak', mama likes to over doing things, I remember when Nafisah was to bring something homemade for their schol bake sale and mama made over 500 cupcake over night by herself, she got ill for two day and was on bed rest throughout, but that didn't stop her from doing it again.

I got in to the elevator and found a smiling Jabir "Ya ahlain bi malikal akhayyat"(why hello to the queen of tailors).

I couldn't help but smile at his enthusiasm and choice of words "Thank you, ya malik al haathub "(king of computers)

I pressed the 12th floor where Hamra is located,

"The show was awesome Hyl, I enjoyed it. I'd totally wear them if I was a girl, but if tell anyone I'll whole heartily deny it, it will be a huge blow to muscularity" he said flexing his hand.

I laughed and said "We wouldn't want that now, would we?" I rhetorically asked him.

"No we wouldn't, imagine how the ladies would feel if they knew I wanted to wear women's clothe" he said with a horrified look

I faked a gasp and said "They'd be devastated, I can already see the department store running out of tissue, because of all the crying they'll be doing"

"i know Right" with that we all busted into a fist of laughter. the elevator doors opened indicating that we have reached the 7th floor, where Jabir's office was, our laughter died down but both had massive smiles on our faces.

"Well as much as i'd like to stay here and chat with you, i do have work to do and sadly i have to go, try not to miss me too much" he said while getting off the elevator.

"Bye, see you after work" i waved at him and he gave me a wave off.And the elevator door closed.

The elevator door opened indicating that I've reached the 12th floor.I stepped out of the elevator and went straight to my office which was at the extreme left of the floor.
