Description
Getting Ready and Meeting at the Restaurant
She wore an elegant Arabic gown, secured her head with a small scarf, and applied a little makeup. She looked beautiful, her face carrying a smile. After walking for about 20 minutes, she got into the car.
“Good afternoon, friend. Aren’t you coming in?” someone greeted her.
“Good afternoon, friend. Didn’t you see my dressing? You know my mom wouldn’t have approved of this, but it’s fine, it’s managed,” she replied, referring to the Raudha Restaurant, a renowned place with a luxurious interior.
She chatted casually with her friend inside, noticing some details she hadn’t paid attention to before. In her heart, a strange feeling stirred—why didn’t Fadeell understand her? Was it because she hadn’t spoken to him? She kept her feelings private, a secret of her soul.
At the Table and Subtle Tensions
They took their seats like lovers sitting close, and a restaurant worker handed them menus. She only ordered her favorite food while he kept tapping on his phone, barely paying attention to her face photos on display. Though she tried to see what he was looking at, he quickly hid his phone.
She teased, “Are you looking at some girl you don’t want me to see?”
He replied calmly, “No, I just got a message from a friend. Nothing more.”
Her mood suggested curiosity—did she like him too? She watched him carefully but didn’t question him further, thinking perhaps he was only focused on something else. She smiled, confident in the knowledge that he had no other girl in mind.
Meanwhile, an older woman joked about getting married, hinting at future plans. He felt a twinge of jealousy but reminded himself she wasn’t possessive, and he had nothing to worry about. The meal was delicious, though he teased that he didn’t want it to be hers alone. She responded playfully, enjoying the attention and confirming that her favorite food was indeed hers.
Leaving the Restaurant and Unexpected Conflict
After finishing their meal, she stood up to leave. Fadeell followed her, while a young man nearby continued watching and trying to interact. She ignored him, holding her scarf tightly. Suddenly, he became aggressive, confronting her and threatening to harm her, claiming he would take the scarf she was holding.
In shock, she tried to defend herself as he grabbed her, but she resisted. The scene escalated, and her body tensed as she tried to avoid being hurt. Ultimately, she managed to break free, leaving him stunned and frustrated by her resistance.
