A week had past since my illness.today was the I step one leg into the university and as always he was by my side he did everything the registration on line, the class follow ups,the lecture venues check,the timetable readjustments ,the awkward introductions cause quite frankly I knew a little next to nothing when it came to Arabic but he did it all by 2pm Monday, 25th February, 2018 I was officially a pre-med student at Al-farza university Cairo thanks to my husband who I have come appreciate his presence while the only presence I know since landing on the soil of Egypt.as I walk by his side as he guide to an office where I was to meet my Arabic tutor Miss Mariam Abdul-azeez Fariz eyes were on us I noticed or on him rather seeing such tall handsome young man in white naval uniform who wouldn't be charmed but he so beautifully oblivious to the effect he had on people everywhere he went walked confidently into the office greeted her in Arab I think along the line of their conversation he mentioned something like "zawja" meaning my wife and "dalibat" meaning student I could make out that much lol nade me feel my some brainiac just for understanding that much until my subconscious muttered something like "jeezzzz...get a hold of your ego dumbass,your fine husband can talk six long hours straight fluent Arabic and you're dancing in your pant just for two words...pleaaase¡!"She said as she rolled her eyes at me and went on filling her fingernails just then I felt stupider I think must have been my turn to get acquainted with miss Mariam as she came around her table stretching her hands towards me as she said "salamu alaikum sister Aminatl_Rahman ,nice to meet you and welcome to cairo" she said while shaking my hand with a nice smiley face she was such a gorgeous beauty chiseled noise blue huge eyes guarded by those Sets of reading glasses just Like mine slim fine manicured hands which made me feel insecure about mine she was also tall and slender in her seaweed green satin gown and maroon scarf which her had wrapped over what I assumed to be a head full long silky strong beautiful Arab hair she had a firm jaw wit slin lips which had endoored her fine dental...anyway you get the point all the glamour the arab race posses over us I couldn't help but lol over her shoulder to what he stood to find out of he was as me aware,of this beauty but he was simply staring back at me and as our eyes met he smiled that fine "I have a side dimple and am gorgeous" smile of his so I just return my focus on her once again.we spent was seemed close to four hours in her office,as she led me through my timetable courses for the whole of the session and credit units as if I understood what the words credit units were I just noded my approval and she also explained that for my first year in the institute I had to learn Arabic for 6months after which I can proceed with no glitches with my main study course that was what i understood all in all again I had managed to pull him out of his work hours again as times without number I peek over her shoulder to find him on his iPad or on the phone probably the office.finally we were done and it was time to go and have never been so gratefull to hear the words "goodbye and see you soon" as i was today I think it might have shower all,around mw as she said" dont be too tired of hearing me talk cause you and I are going to be doing,a lot of that from now on"in her so well spoken English Arabian accent.as we drove back hone I said to him "am so sorry you had toeave the office for me again" he turned like he's been stung by a bee and said"no...no..not at all its my duty to make sure you're all settled and well doing ...so its not a problem besides I like your company" he said with another of his smiles as he looked straight ahead it made me shy it made me happy it also made me jump in my heart and do my "so happy dance" all in my head I was so overly aware of what those words meant it surprised me and almost threatened to shock me how it affected me so much then my shameless subconscious teased Luke she knew how to "owww....is that a blush i see¿...you go lover girl!" I had to search through my purse for NY pancake just to make sure I didn't have a red pined looking pair of cheeks starring at him "takeout?"he asked "Na'am?" I asked cause i was absent minded so i didnt hear the question "takeout?" He asked again "its late already and am sure you're tired...i don't feek like eating heavy so i suggest we get,something before we head home"he added the way he said home the he could be so many things all at ones the he took control of my feelings these days it got me wondering how soon be for i realking start loving him? "Ohhh...you already are darling" my subconscious once again snaps at me hand crossed across her chest with a smirk that said i knew it "OK "I simply reply to hin ignoring my own nosey self if one could ever be too nosey in his own affairs.so he drove us to pizza hut and askethat i ordered for us while he made a few phone calls I did I ordered chicken sausage and mushroom toopings for me and shrimps and mushroom toppings for him thanks to his eye and hand signal which amazingly I understood perfectly well he handed me his credit card to pay wit which he gave me his pin all using hand gestures and now i see why they love him at work he's down right good at it.
