Mr Wasim.

Two can play if you surprised me Even better, I can act as though I did not notice you. When I heard the door finally open, I grinned and responded in a somewhat stern manner.

Why was Salma not speaking?Was my plan realized?

I waited again after saying, "Keep the files and go." in a firm voice.

Is that how one speaks with a guest?As my eyes grew wide, a voice interrupted my gloomy plan. That voice. Ya Allah help me that's mom!

Bravo, Wasim!

"I am sorry, mom."She had not visited my office in a long time; normally, she came to my dad's office, but today, she came to me, which made me happy because, well, she is my mom. I apologized gently and welcomed her.

"How is work going?"I knew she had done all that for me, even though she had her own motivations, so when she asked in a kind tone, my heart just melted.

"Mom, why are you here? Work is going well, thank God."She looked at me when I asked.

She spoke in an unpleasant tone, "I just went to your dad's office to help him out and thought of visiting you by the way I heard you have selected your personal assistant."

"Yes, mom, but would you kindly just patch things up with her? She is been really worried about the post I gave her, and her first question to me was whether you were okay with it." I told my mother, and she paid close attention.

Mom realized her mistakes and said, "I was so wrong about her," in a dejected tone.

"She was always helping me with housework and even bandaging me when I got burned. She always asked about you and your dad. I am so sorry, son, I hurt both of you," she said, wiping away her tears. I have not seen my mother cry much, let alone apologize. My parents' understanding and problem-solving skills made me feel proud.

Shrugging her shoulders, she said, "Your dad told me I was blinded by jealousy and hatred because of negativity."

"Mom!"Look at me," I said, cupping her face and wiping away her tears.

"As long as you have realized your mistakes, nothing else matters," I told her sternly as we hugged.

"I apologize for ruining your plan, but your wife is wiser than you; we were in this together, and she requested that I go in before her," my mother said, turning to look behind her and seeing my devoted wife, who had repaired her relationship with her mother, standing there.

"Thank you dear for coming in our lives,"mom informed her and they both hugged. I wish dad was here to witness this emotional scene.

"Thanks to your son, Aunty-I mean, mom," she uttered timidly.

I teased her, "Well, now that you have my parents' support, are you officially ready to work with me?" She answered.

She looked away shyly and said, "Yeah."

She carefully explained to us, and I was proud of her: "I want to take the first step with you, with blessings from your parents then I do not care what other people say as long as we are together."

"Is that Salma, the same one?"She turned a bright red like a tomato when I asked.

Mom took her side and said, "Do not tease my daughter," which made me smile.

"Now I would leave you two to start work," mom informed us and left.

"So?Has someone become overly shy?She retreated as I inched closer to her.

I just stared at her as she said, "We are at the office," in a quiet voice.

"So what? I tried to make more jokes about her because I am both your boss and personal assistant.

A call cut us off right then, as she nervously glanced here. "We have to work and you have to explain to me my duties," she said.

With that, I disconnected the call and said, "Yah just finish the paper work and send them for signing."

She naively told me, "That was rude."

She wanted it to be professional, so let us see how long it will be professional, I said, moving to my desk and gesturing for her to join me. "Well, dear wife, we will have a lot of fun working together," I told her.
