Hello welcome back.
Let's go.
This is a shorter one, but the one after will make up for it.
*winky face
I sat on my office chair tapping my heels onto the wooden floor, nervously. I held my owl necklace in between my fingers, moving it side to side across it's silver chain.
I eagerly sat waiting for the documents that Noah will be delivering to me any second now.
I have a big case coming up in a few days and it is the kind of case that drains you.
I literally have been waking up and sleeping on this case. I even had been having my meals while I read the newly found evidence and documents.
It is not an easy one to be honest.
Yes, I have been working on my own criminal cases for some time now, but this is my first independent sexual assault case.
And it is a bit scary, for it is very sensitive. It is......
A knock came interrupting my thoughts.
"*Gel" I said automatically.
I just need to get my hands on those documents.
"Asalam alaykoom" my old man said as he peaked around the door.
"May I come in?!" he asked.
I stood to my feet welcoming him in "Gel gel."
I haven't seen him in weeks, like I already said I have been very busy.
As soon as he closed the door behind him, I ran up to him.
I threw my arms around him, hugging him tightly.
Ah I need this hug, especially from him.
His hand kept running over my back, my hair, while the other stayed over my left scapula.
I slowly closed my eyes, letting all that heavy weight I was carrying subside and fade away.
I felt much lighter and calmer than I have been for the past few weeks.
A father's blessings I guess.
It is like he knew what I needed.
He just stood there for me, giving me permission to stay in his arms for as long as I needed.
After we broke our hug, he asked "How is my Janu?!"
"*Iyi." I said as I walked with his hand in mine, guiding him to the coach.
"So my Nano have been busy, haven't you?!"
"Yes." I said sighing.
"Well I have been promised a breakfast with my granddaughter ages ago, what have happened to that?!" he asked with raised eyebrows and a half crooked smile.
"Huh' I laughed nervously as I added 'You didn't forget that?!"
"I never forget. I have been waiting for the time that best fits you. But you have been jumping from one case to the next for the past year."
"Baba...." I started.
"*Tamam it is on me."
"Baba don't say such a thing. My money is all yours, but I am very busy, truly. No hiding or excuses this time I promise. We will have that breakfast, how about directly after the trial?"
"*Soz?!" he asked with his eyes gazing at me, questioning me closely.
"Soz Baba. Soz." I said laughing.
