Pearl Chapter 6: Blood stains
I know im late bs my weekend was busy to be honest
On what was suppose to be another regular day, Yousef had just come back from court. They had a hearing in the morning about a case he was handing where a 30 year old woman wanted to get a divorce from her abusive husband and he was refusing to give her one. He had to admit it was hard to put forward enough evidence and reasons for the judge to rule in her favor but after weeks of hard work and after convincing her family members to be witnesses to the aftermath of one of his episodes, since the woman never went to the hospital and after being punched in the face in court and being accused of having an affair with the woman by her mad now ex-husband, it was worth the work he put into it knowing that he saved a woman and her unborn child from a lifetime of misery.
He went straight to his office and just as Rasha greeted him with a smile, it immediately faded away when the saw the blood running down his face and staining the collar of his shirt. "I'm fine mafeeni shay bs law sama7tay yeebli a towel, some water and some ice, ana eb maktebi" Rasha was so surprised she couldn't even say anything back and was just nodding away.
Yousef sat on his office couch trying to block out any pain that was shooting through his facial muscles and bones. A few minutes late Rasha knocks, walks in and closes the door behind knowing Yousef wouldn't want anyone seeing him like this "Sh9ar bl ma7kama?" Yousef let out a sigh "7mdila fzna il8atheya..." Rasha didn't understand how he could be bleeding when he won the case "Ok 3yal sh9ar fek? laish wayhek chthe?"
"3ugb ma il8athe gal ina he's giving her the divorce her husband went mad and jumped me w ga3d ygwl ina we're having an affair w ina ana abeha 3shan chthe 5thait il8atheya w mn hal 7achy...It's nothing, ilrayal en8ahar ina magdar he gets what he wnats this time..." As Yousef use the towel and bowl of water to carefully clean away the blood he explained what happened. "Tbeni akansl mwa3eedk for the day w ta5the the rest of the day off?" Yousef cringed as he placed the ice pack on his cheek "aaa77.. ummm shno mwa3eedy for the day?"
"3ndek maw3ed ma3a a new client at 12, he made this appointment a month ago, im not sure what his case is about exactly. Then you have an appointment at 1 with the father that filed for child custody, he isn't going to take long just said he wants to drop off a few paper work and ask a few question then leave so i made an appointment at 1.45 for Zaina from the marketing department case, she said she found a the paper work you asked for last time."
Yousef sat there staring into space until he heard Zaina's name and he quickly snapped out of it. As much as she wanted to cancel the first two appointments and just see Zaina, he didn't want Rasha to have a reason to be suspicious of anything. "La 5ala9 latkanslen shay bs itha 5ala9t mn awal appointment early call the other two and ask if they can come in earlier, ymkn ngdar en5al9 w enrd embacher ilyoum..."
Yousef got ready for his first appointment and did a few paper work as he waited for his new client. To say he wasn't in a good a mood at all wouldn't be enough. He was in a bit of pain and a while ago he noticed that his forearm was unbelievably painful and thats when he realized that also took a punch there as he tried to hold the maniac to the wall to restrain him.
At 12:05 Rasha informed him that his client was here and if he was ready to see him. He told her to let him in. Yousef stood up immediately and shook his head to get rid of all the negativity he had in his mind, put on a huge smile and walked towards the door to greet his client. Just as he opened his office door he saw a man who was around his 30's walking towards him with a smile on his face but with the saddest eyes he has ever seen. "ilsalam 3laikum..tfathal" Yousef did what he does with every client by trying to make then feel at home "w 3laikum ilsalam, dam fathlek..." The men shook hands as they introduced themselves.
"Gwle o5oy Bader, shno agdar asa3dek fe?" Yousef was trying to sound as professional as he can at the moment. He was too tired to keep this formal and just felt like having a little normal chat with the man would be easier than to do the usual. "Walla madre shgwlek, ana brw7e mn7rj laish yait w a7s mafroth ma aswe hal shay bs est5art cham marra w lgait nafse ga3d aswe ilshay ili a7s 9a7 w ra7 yray7ne."
To say Yousef was intrigued to know what his story is was an understatement. This man's eyes was telling Yousef that something has happened and he has been keeping it to himself for so long he's been beating himself for it. "Gwl ili yray7ek.. ana mawjod 3ashan asa3dek w aswe ili agdar 3laih 3shan trta7..." Yousef leaned over his desk and rest on his elbows as he looked at Bader waiting for him to start talking.
Bader on the other hand was fidgeting and was nervous. He opened his mouth to speak a couple of times but he would hesitate and stop himself. After a couple of attempts Bader finally gave up and stood up from his seat excusing himself "Ana asf ina thay3t wakt bs...aaah... ee77mm.. esma7ly lazm amshee..." Yousef immediately got up and walked up to him "La7tha u5oy, shno ili '3ayar rayek faj2a?? inta yait w w9alt lai ihne w embayn mn 3yonek ina 3ndk wayd 7ache wdek etgwle fa tkalam gool shno ;8atheetk ymkn trta7 w ngdar en7elha ma3a ba3ath..."
All Bader could do was look at Yousef. He could tell the words Yoused just spoke were genuine and he truly meant them, he really wants to help him but he just can't bring himself to say what he has been keeping to himself for so long. They both just stood there in the doorway just looking at each other, Bader trying to make the right decision and Yousef waiting for him to make the right decision of coming back in and letting him take on his case. "Ana asf, ensa ina yaitlek... mashkoor w matga9r bs mako shay tgdar etsa3edni fe..."
And with that Bader walked out leaving both Yousef and Rasha dumbfounded not knowing what just hit them "Aaahhh.... what was that about??" Rasha didn't know if something was said or done in there but the client seemed unsatisfied which is never a good sign. "Walla madre, n6arta ygwle shno salfta bs faj2a '3ayar raya and he decided to leave. Bs hal rayal fe shay, there is something about him that is making me want to run after him and demand an explanation." Yousef shook his head and snapped out of it "Dgaitay 3ala my next appointments w jadamtehum?"
"Ee estath mafroth your next appointment comes in after about 30 minutes." In other words she was assuring him that they will be going home early today. "Ok 3yal ana eb maktebi lama yo9al 5al ytfathal 3nde 3la 6ool."
As Yousef walked back into his office and shut the door behind him, thoughts of laying down on the couch and just resting for a while were filling up his head so he did exactly that. He wasn't going to sleep or anything, just lay down for a while since he is in no mood to do any paper work.
Yousef found himself thinking about Bader and what kind of story he might be hiding. As a lawyer he has seen a large variety of cases so he couldn't help but wonder that Bader's story might just be one of the bad ones. A few minutes later he didn't know how or why but his trail of thoughts suddenly changed and instead of thinking about Bader he was thinking about the beach and this beautiful weather they are experiencing at this time of year. He couldn't really put his finger on until but something about this thought was very weird. He couldn't quiet grasp it until.....
Until he felt something on his cheek right were he got punched.. It was soft and also warm. He opened his eyes to as he reached for his cheek but to his surprised he jumped out of his place and quickly sat up as he tried to register what is going on.
He saw this angelic face that had an unbelievably worried look on her face who stepped back as he sat up and tried to absorb everything "Sorry but you didn't hear me coming and you were bleeding and it looked painful and sorry to wake you up but i couldn't just leave the blood to stream down your cheek and..."
"Its ok don't worry about it... I wasn't sleeping, just resting... Oh god is this bleeding AGAIN??" Yousef placed his index and middle finger on his cheek and looked at them as he saw the red blood on the tip of his fingers then looked back at Zaina "Shfech chthe m5tar3a chnech shayfa yeny?" Yousef still didn't realized that she has no idea what happened earlier this morning and even more so he didn't realize that she was early, in fact very early.
"Mu shayfa yeny bs shayfa a7ad jdamy wayha fe dam and a huge bruise and im wondering how on earth could something like this happen, i'm kind of worried as well." Zaina continues to slowing clean away the blood that was trailing down his cheek. Yousef though that he was for sure dreaming but this felt so real! "Your early..." The first thing he could think of saying was that. To think he could have come up with something better but no. "Umm.. Yeah Rasha told me you finished your first appointment early and your second appointment cancelled and asked if i could come in earlier, soo here i am..."
She was so close to him he couldn't think. His might was cloudy and her scent running through his blood was making it even harder for him to try and come up with something nice to say "Its ok i'll clean this up, thanks anyways, you don't have to do this." He couldn't handle being so close to her so he got up and walked to the other side of the room. He hasn't known her for so long but she is pulling him in deep. "Shda3wa maswait shay... you look like your really hurt w 3la 7athek ana 3nde shahadat first aid so i can get this cleaned for you lo tajls eb mkanek shway bs..."
Zaina had no idea what affect she has on him. She had no idea she had any affect on him what so ever. All Yousef kept thinking about as she walked towards him was we're family Yousef, family, your working together, this isn't right. Zaina reached for his face one more time and slightly stood on her toes to reach him since he wasn't wearing heels. AAAHH screw work and wrong and right, i can't take this anymore..............
