......I gently removed my shoes and adjusted my scarf as I stepped in with salaam
"Salaam Alaikum " I greeted curving my hand to my nose-how my mother greets it's called curtsy in her own way
"Wa'alaikum salaam " his deep voice answered, I spotted him sitting at some corner his back facing me with some men, with a raise of hand, he dismissed every other men with him.
The chamber erupted in a deep silence, I stare at the place remembering the last time I came , which was when I was twenty two , he sent for me for everyone -my mother along with her sisters and my cousins- were all there at that day for he was ill. I I remembered how i and my cousin yasser stayed beside him in his royal bed singing his favorite song as always , we -both yasser and I are his favorite
I missed old times, I really did
"Do you remember the last time you were here? " he asked in deep voice
"Yes l do malak "
" that was thalat sanat mahek " (mehek...ryt)
I nod" yes three years "
"So kaiph haluk ant " (how are you)
"Alhamdulillah wallah ala shukriya " (am thankful)
"Kul tamrun, haaz lazeez just like the one you gave me when I was ill " (eat this date, it's just like the one...)
I reached out my hand and collected the date from him " shukran " i thanked him
After seconds of comfortable silence he spoke
"Aseph, day yaqtu waqtak wa ana a'alam (sorry , I know I gave delayed your time..) " I nodded and he continued " lakin, uridu an a'aripha man hiyal bnt ya'ni imra'a ellati bn haaz yuhib (however, i would like to know the girl who caught my sons attention )" he smiled and I looked down shyly
I wonder who the hell on this world told him about zarah
He continued " not that that's the reason why I called for you " he finished letting me talk
I robbed the back of my head and said " her name is Zara.." I wanted to tell him her full name but decided to not mention it now
