The Party 2

The party 2
It was a sunny day with wind touching  our faces  gently.
The black  glasses were hiding my smiley eyes .
I was holding Salah’s hand tightly , he looked astonished  and  unaware of the surrounding event .
“ how did she died? “ a man asked
“ food poisoning” I answered
 “why are you so calm Sara , wasn’t  this your friend for about two years ? “ he said
“three .. it was three years Salah and she has taken a good care of me … really “ I said.
Nola was standing away from the burials . she seemed she was trying to run away but refused to make a fool of herself .
She was thinking how life is too short for struggling and how it will end quickly if we did not take all of our chances .
She had to agree …
 
Saied was holding Mai’s hand and trying to stop her tears from falling . She is so sensitive and she cannot stand the  stressful atmosphere around her.
 
“ she was my only child , I cannot believe that she is died” Dara’s mother said .
“I still did not know who was the father “ she continued.
As she said something interested I tried to stand by her side to listen , she kept crying and crying so I wasn’t able to hear the remaining of the story .
“ what are you talking about aunt? She had a kid ? “ I asked .
“ No sweety she was pregnant “  
I did not want to hear more . I hugged the old woman and left her.
Dara was pregnant , but from whom that was the question I have to had its answer .
 
I stood with Nola smoking a cigar we were dying for a glass of water in that place .
She was tried and beautiful in her little black leather jacket and her black Kashmir scarf .
 
Saied came and he was frustrated of what Mai was doing and he asked to leave so that she would stop crying . he looked at Nola and did not say goodbye , she also looked at him in disdain and she said nothing.
 
 
 
I send all the servants home and make myself a cup of coffee . Salah was to tried to stay, so he went upstairs to have some rest.
 
Who is the father ? who ?
I was going insane .
The door rings and it was Samir  Salah’s partner .
“ good afternoon Sara , How are you ?”
“ fine , where have you been ? we all manage to get to the burials except you , what happened? “
“well , I had to travel for few days , the company needs either me or Salah . I want to talk to you about something .”
“ go on “
“ I had got an opportunity to take the custody of my son and I want you to Testify in court that she was married just to make mess and get some time until I can find a way to fraud her marriage contract.” He said .
“ Okay , but why me ? I know you have many of beggar that could do it for you “
“ I know that you hate her and so do I and it is no what I want to talk to you about seriously .
Mmmmm, I want hurghada ‘s land “
“ and in return ?” I asked 
“ you can keep the tourism company in the coming tender and I can persuade Salah to agree and recommend it to you “
“ I don’t know what are you gonna do with such a Disputed land and I don’t care “
 
The tourism company was the good chance for me to get back in the industry .
I was suffering from financial Liquidity crunch and he knows that .
 
He waked to the door then He turned around and said “ please send my greetings to Dara “.
 
I froze by the my surprise and wondered about what did he mean by that ? 
Did he know anything or he is just bluffing to trap me with my own fear .
 
 
 
To be continued ……

The Party

I tried to reach  for the bowl  that I just bought . all that papers and cartoon giving me hard time to uncover the clear shiny glass that was surrounding with golden sparkles. “try to concentrate sara , you have to surprise everyone “  spoke to myself . I start to combine the sugar and the rice to stir , with the stirring memory starts to flow . “this is the best rice pudding I have ever eat” salah said He was astonished to find that hidden part of myself that claims I know how to cook especially  the rice pudding . Well, we have been together for five years , 2 love birds one is the beautiful calm Sara but the poverty eats the remaining youth marks in her face and the other is the classy Mr. Salah how come from the richest descends in the country which money gives him the extra charm needed for  his look.
