I never thought she could pull a trigger… atleast not at herself. I guess there was no need for pressing charges. There’s a system the society followed against those who committed suicide, there was no need for a funeral, there was no moment of silen…

The next day he woke up late as usual, nothing new…he showered, got dressed, prayed and left for work. On his way, he passed by Starbucks and ordered two vanilla lattes to go, and half an hour later he was in the buildings parking lot.
He got out and carried the cardboard holder which had the hot drinks placed inside. He locked the car and walked into the building, carefully carrying the drinks.
When he reached his floor, he straight away walked over to Mai’s desk.
She was working on a few papers while he was starring down at her.
“Ahmm,” he cleared his throught.
The second he was done, her office phone rang and she answered it.
“Good morning…yeah…sure…ok…bye,” and she closed the phone and resumed back to her paper work.
“Aren’t you at least going to look up?” he asked her.
“I’m too busy to do that since I’m doing your paper work incase you forgot,” he said so plain.
“Ok,” he said as he took her cup of coffee and replaced it with one of the lattes.
“What was that for?” her eyes still glued to the papers.
“This is what I call good coffee, and the one you’re drinking…is really bad! Asta’3furalla, but seriously! I mean, it’s so…undrinkable,” he finished off happy to have found the word to describe her drink.
“I’m unhuman, that’s why it’s undrinkable,” she finally shifted her gaze up to him.
“Yes! I knew it! Hmmm, that probably explains why you’re so…emotionless, I guess.”
“Perfect, just the perfect thing to go with it. I’m an emotionless unhuman undefined thing, wow, way to go with that discovery of yours! I guess you better run along now to the media and tell them your latest finding,” she said sarcastically.
“Hmm, now is that some sarcasticness I’m sensing?”
“Wow, I didn’t know you were that smart! Oh, but I think you forgot one thing, it’s your cue to leave too,” she opened up some documents on Word.
“Ouch! That hurt!”
“Nobody told you to be a pain,” she said as she typed.
He turned around as he lifted an eyebrow, within seconds he couldn’t help himself and hold in his laugh anymore, he’d usually be irritated by her response but he clearly seemed to enjoy it.
He entered his office when he suddenly stoppped. He was confused, wasn’t this his office? he thought to himself. He stepped back out and closed the door, and in he steppped again, but still…no change, it was the same.
“Mai, are they relocating my office?”
“Oh, yeah, about that…your father wants to see you,” she resumed back to her work.
His office was empty, with only two chairs in the middle of the spacious room. Everything was moved out, to where only God knows.
He regained himself and walked back to the elevator and pressed on the button, waiting for the doors to open. He got in and pressed on the twenty-first button and the elevator doors swung open seconds later.
He walked straight ahead down the hallway and to the right, where his father’s office was. He saw his secretary and as she nodded meaning a hello, he knocked on his father’s door.
“Come in,” came his father’s voice from behind the door.
“You called for me…?” he sat down on the chair facing his father.
“How are you?”
“I’m fine…?”
“Ok, should I get straight to the point here?” he took his glasses off and placed them on his desk.
“Please?”
“You started working here, what, three months ago?”
“Mhmm…oh but you mean ‘forced’ me to work here,” he said, a bit confused.
“Look, even though I forced you, it’s for your own good. I’m not going to let you sit all day doing nothing, yeah so you finished studying and wanted a long break, but believe me, a year is more than a break. You have to do something with your time, or like others say, you have to kill your time,” he went and sat next to his son.
“Anyways, let me get to the point…you aren’t even being an average worker, you’re below that level. You come to work whenever you feel like it and I’m sorry but that isn’t what a finance director does. You’re supposed to be dedicated to your work,” he patted his shoulder.
“What good will it do to be dedicated to my work or even try to when I don’t want to work,” he said lazily.
“That’s not an option, your going to have to work some day, and the earlier the better…who knows, you might get married some day and you’ll need to support your family’s costs and payments…you’re going to be their shelter, you’re going to have to protect them…you have to provide them with all their needs…you’re going to have to build your own empire from scratch just like your uncles and I did, and it wasn’t easy…just four years ago we started to get noticed outside of Qatar, out of all of these twenty-eight years…”
“Who said I’ll be getting married…some day?”
“Look, I don’t care if you get married or not, I just want to be responsible…but it seems to me that you aren’t wiling to,” he paused.
“Listen Bandar, I don’t think you’re going to change by hearing my words…you’re going to have to learn…the hard way. I’m not going to sit here and say nothing working day and night while you won’t even bother showing up, and if you do, then that’s a miracle but not anymore…I’m sorry…you’re fired.”
His face was reactionless.
“I want you to work on your own…build your own self up, I want you to take responsibility and work hard, but not here in the company. I’ll tell you all the details back home, I have a meeting to attend to know…excuse me,” he patted his son’s back once more and got up to leave.
He couldn’t get what his father said into mind…he got fired by his own father…did that ever even happen? And what was he going to tell him at home?
He left the company as soon as possible, calm nevertheless.
Hours later he was at home when his father called for him.
“Ta3al Bandar, aby akalmk,” he said as they both walked to his home office.
“Since you aren’t going to be working at the company, I’ve talked to a friend of mine…I don’t know if you remember him or not…esma Adbulaziz AlFlani,” he paused.
“3amy Bu S3ood?”
“Ee, 3alaik noor, 3amk Bu S3ood. Anyways, his eldest son used to be like you…until he made some drastic changes. You’re going to be working on your uncles farm, the men there are going to show you what to do…I need you to prove to me enk gad el mas2oleya o mo l3b, abeek tkbar eb 3ainy and I need you to work hard…like you mean it,” he sighed.
“Shno?! Ana?! Tabeeny ana ashte’3l fe mazr3at 3amy Bu S3ood?!!! Yubba! Yannait int?!” his tone of voice became louder.
“La 7abeeby, ma yannait. Hay 7g ma9la7tk. W int a9lan lain mta ra7 etem chii bala shu’3l o mash’3ala? Lazm etgoom t3tmd 3la nafsk, mo kl shway lain taby shay etye wtgooly! Shubrk rayal!”
“Enzain, 7gk 3alay. Lakin el mazra3a?! 3la el a8al 5alny athbt nafsy eb 6aree8a ’3air hathy! What you’re saying is unbelievable!”
“What I’m saying is an order and to be done. Bachr el sayeg ra7 ywa9lk el mazra3a mn el 9b7. Barez shan6etk la2nk mo raj3, ra7 etem hnaak…glt 7g 3amk yzaheblk ’3urfa m3 7amam o kl shay. All you have to do is be there,” and he walked out.
Bandar was lost deep into his thoughts. What his father said was completely insane.
He went out, grabbed his car keys and drove off, stepping on the gas harder and harder making his way to Hamad Hospital.
As soon as he got there, he parked his car and walked towards the main entrance. He made his way towards the elevator and up to the seventh floor. He passed by the front desk and turned left to the narrow corridor and walked to the last room.
He carefully opened the door and grabbed the chair next to the bed to sit on it.
“Yumma, it’s me Bandar,” he kissed his mothers soft, delicate hand.
His mother was in a comma for the last five years.
“I miss you,” a tear fell down his eye.
He took her lifeless hand in his and squeezed it tight as he kissed it again. His tear fell on her cold, white skin. He took a deep breath before he continued.
“Everyday I come to you with hope that you’ll eventually wake up one day…I miss your voice…I miss your eyes…whenever I stare into them, I feel the comfort that radiate from them…I miss you so much.”
To be continued…

ولو تغيب اشوي عني ..
انا يا عمري اجيك
انت كل عمري فداك ..
والزمن يحلى معاك
انت ما خيبت ظني ..

You belong to me
By Taylor Swift
You’re on the phone with your girlfriend, She’s upset
She’s going off about something that you said
She doesnt get your humour like I do
I’m in the room, its a typical Tuesday night
I’m listening to the kind of music she doesnt like
And she’ll never know your story like I do
But she wears short skirts, I wear t-shirts
She’s cheer captain and I’m on the bleachers
Dreaming bout the day when you’ll wake up and find
That what you’re lookin for has been here the whole time
If you could see that I’m the one who understands you
Been here all along so why can’t you see?
You belong with me
You belong with me
Walkin the streets with you in your worn out jeans
I cant help thinking this is how it ought to be
Laughing on the park bench thinkin to myself
Hey isnt this easy?
And you’ve got a smile that could light up this whole town
I havent seen it in awhile, since she brought you down
You say you find I know you better than that
Hey, Whatcha doing with a girl like that?
She wears high heels, I wear sneakers
She’s cheer captain and I’m on the bleachers
Dreaming bout the day when you’ll wake up and find
That what you’re looking for has been here the whole time
If you could see that I’m the one who understands you
Been here all along so why can’t you see?
You belong with me
Standin by, waiting at your back door
All this time how could you not know that?
You belong with me
You belong with me
Oh I remember you driving to my house in the middle of the night
I’m the one who makes you laugh when you know you’re about to cry
I know your favorite songs and you tell me about your dreams
I think I know where you belong. I think I know it’s with me.
Can’t you see that I’m the one who understand you?
Been here all along so why can’t you see?
You belong with me
Standing by or waiting at your back door
All this time how could you not know that
You belong with me
You belong with me
Have you ever thought just maybe
You belong with me
You belong with me
until next time

I silently cried to myself until we arrived to the hospital. I tried getting out of the car but my knees were too weak to carry me so i had to lean on his black car for a second. To get my act together, put all the energy i have left into walking, and getting to my mom and dad. My brother’s car is parked, so i guess he called Sulla and told her. [wrtier's note: sha5bari Sulla and Bader. You guys want more of them? Tell me!:D] I heard the beep of Fahad’s car that said that its now locked. Fahad walked over from his side of the car to mine, “Zayoon, yalla?” A tear escaped my left eye, and i quickly wiped it off.

Dear readers;
When I first started Hamsa’s story, all I had in mind was how excited I felt and just wanted to pour it out here in my space, and share it with all of you.
The second I hit the “Publish” button, my heart skipped a beat as I realized this is a sensitive subject that i shouldn’t have discussed out in the open. And as one commentator said: Mo mal netkallam 3annah in blogs, hatha kalam ebyoot o lazem ma ye6la3 barrah.
I thought about deleting the post. But when I checked, it already received more than 100 hits. So it was too late.
I just want to clarify that I know what I’m doing. I wouldn’t have suggested Hamsa’s name if I didn’t think she would be perfect for him. Even when I asked X, he said ma ra7 yelga a7san menha.
Hamsa mo ay wa7da. Jamal 0 akhlaq o tarbiya. O fog kel hatha, she comes from a big respected family. Her father- my aunt’s husband, is a very influential man, and his father is a pillar of this community.
So I didn’t think this small matter would be an issue, especially since my family didn’t make it an issue when my aunt married her husband.
So dear readers of mine, I’m opening a survey here on whether to continue the story, tell it as is. Or to delete it 3shan we don’t ruffle any feathers.
Kindly cast your vote, and i’ll sure oblige.
Love,
GG
