A New Beginning - Round Twenty

Previously....


.....She looked over at Jooja wanting an explanation from someone else and saw that she had already fallen asleep. She decided that she does not want to deal with this tonight so she placed the envelope on the bedside table, switched the lights off and fell asleep.

"M

I know its been a long time since we last had contact but there is so much that I wanted to tell you. I never knew when a good time was and I didnt want to catch you at a bad time. Then when I finally got my thoughts organised and wanted to contact you, I realised that I had previously deleted all your contact details because I didnt want to be tempted.

I heard you were coming to Dubai and so I said this was my opportunity. I wanted to say what I need to say and give you your own time to react that why Im writing you a letter. Pretty old fashioned I know.

M I made a big mistake. I let the best thing that ever happen to me slip away for reasons only excusable for a teenager. I just hope that Im not too late.

I never stopped thinking about you. About us. About our hopes and dreams. About all the plans we made together. I still think about them and I have been working towards them. The first step was convincing my family that I will choose my own life partner. It was not easy but I managed.

I hope Im not too late when I ask you to be mine forever. I know that you are not with anyone. Yes I did my research. If you were with someone then I would have never made this move. I dont think I can ever bear the thought of another man touching you.

M - will you be my wife? If your answer is Yes then meet me for dinner at Buddha Bar tomorrow at 9 pm. The same place we first met. If your answer is No then please dont make any contact with me. If you dont show up I will understand. And beleive me when I say that I wish you happiness in your life.

I will see you tomorrow - hopefully

Yours forever, K"

Jooja woke up to the sounds of Meems crying. She took the letter from her and read it. She then got into bed with Meems and just held her while she cried her heart out. Pretty soon Meems fell asleep again. Jooja got up showered, got dressed and left a note for her before walking out. She knew that she will not wake up for at least another few hours which gave her enough time to do what she had in mind.

A New Beginning - Round Nineteen

Previously . . . .

Random thoughts rushed through her head. What was he still doing here, didnt he leave in a rush more than 5 minutes ago?? Oh my god, Sami has his arm on my shoulder. What would Khaleefa think? Why do I care?? Why does he have that look on his face?

She was lost in her own thoughts while riding up in the lift. She didnt know why she cared?? Wasnt she just impressed with herself for not having a stronger reaction to seeing Khaleefa!!! Why was she upset that he saw her like that??

She was standing in lift with her back to Sami and he was standing really close. Suddenly she felt his head leaning down and kissing the back of her neck. Simultaneaously his wondering hands reached into her pocket and took her key out. She involuntarily jolted and stepped out of the lift as soon as the door opened. She let out a small giggle to cover it up and pretended that she was racing him to the room.

"How am I going to get rid of him now" she thought to herself. Then as she got to the room door, she looked at him jogging towards her and she smiled.

"Oh shes smiling at me so thats a green light." Sami thought. Little did he know that the reason for her smile was actually the complete opposite.

Sami got to the room door and looked at her and said, "yalla ya 3aroosatna"

As soon as the room door was open, she barged in and attacked Jooja who was still on the phone. In the reflection in the mirror, she saw the dissappointed look on Sami's face and she couldnt help giggling. Jooja also saw the look and gave Meems a strange look.

"Ok ana baseebkum da7eena oo ashoofkum inshallah 3ala 5air"

Meems walked him to the door and Jooja waved. As soon as the door closed, Jooja threw her phone on the bed. Turns out she was looking through the peep holes (because thats just something she likes doing when shes alone in the room) when she saw them coming out of the lift. So she pretended to be on the phone so that he wouldnt be encouraged to stay and chat.

"I was on the phone when I suddenly turn around and see Marwan sleeping on his desk and you two gone. Since I had the other key also I came to the room HOPING I will not interrupt anything."

"Joooooooj AS IIFFFFF - btw you will NEVER guess who I saw downstairs"

"Khaleefa??"

"OMG how did u know??"

"Because this was slipped under the door" said Jooja and handed her an envelope. Meems was in shock. She took the envelope and lay on her bed. She just realised that he knew she was in town and that she was staying here (which is no big deal since she ALWAYS stays here) and found out her room number. She looked over at Jooja wanting an explanation from someone else and saw that she had already fallen asleep. She decided that she does not want to deal with this tonight so she placed the envelope on the bedside table, switched the lights off and fell asleep.
