Faith 6 ;**

Sorry for the delay, just bare with me I promise it will clear up, hopefully.

As always I love you.

------------

She hated the power he had over her, ever since she met him but there was chemistry between them, a spark. Even Mesfer could tell which is why he tried to keep their introductions minimal.

He trusted Mhra, and he trusted 9bee7.

But his guy instinct told him to keep his guard up.

"why dont you look at me like that"
"you want me to?"
"I do, but I cant"
"mm"
"mhoora"
"ya"
"6al3eny"

She put her phone down and slowly raised her eyes, searching for his gaze.

It didnt take her long before their eyes met, and boy were his eyes mesmerizing.

She remember when they first met, almost 2 years ago.

He walked into the branch, demanding to see the branch manager he was loud and rude.

She quickly stepped out.

"lw sm7t, tf'9al ana mderat il fr3"

He eyed her down, head to toe.

"intay?"
"ee n3m tfa'9al mktiby"

He was annoyed that she was young, he was angry however, he found her pretty

"intay cham 3mrich"
"I dont think that is relevant to the matter, let me know what the problem is and I will try and help you"

He spent an hour complaining about the customer service and their lack of knowledge.

She calmed him down and was intrigued by his attitude, he was so out there, rude, blunt. She loved it.

"Aby rqmich"
"n3m?"
"ee etha 9art ay mshkila aby adig 3laich, 3balich I am flirting"

She was mad.

"no, I will make a note anything you need they will help you with."
"ana abeech intay"

She eyed him down.

"tdreen 3ndy 9a7by Mesfer, y9la7lich"

She couldnt believe the audacity on this man

"I thing your time is over, like I said anything yo need it will be taken care of" She stood up and smiled.

"heheh mashy mashy, but this wont be our last meeting"

It wasnt, she started seeing him everywhere she went. He was never alone though he was always with a friend.

Mesfer.

She wanted 9bee7, but he wouldnt budge.

"il salam 3laikum"
"w 3laikum il salam"
"Mhra 9a7"
"ee n3m"
"I dont need introductions you remember me akeed"
"I do, how can I help you"

She was with Mizoun, 3thoob and 3thari. They were openly staring at the men.

They were handsome

"remember when I told you 3n my friend, hatha Mesfer"

She couldnt believe he just said that in front of everyone.

Mesfer quickly nudged him and apologized for his friend's behavior.

9bee7 pulled a chair and sat down next to Mhra.

"bng3d m3akum"

Mhra and the girls quickly stood up and apologized and left not allowing the men to say a word.

"7ywan int"
"7beeby il bnt lik 9deqny"
"wnt shako feeny"
"kasr 5a6ry m3ndik a7ad, whya zaina"
"9bee7, mo chithi"
"3yal"
"I will get the girl"

"if you dont, I will" 9bee7 was thinking to himself. He wanted her so badly, but was fighting something.

What could it possibly be?

"t6l3n ba7ar m3ay?"
"shloun?"
"3ndy yacht"
"la 93ba"
"m7d yshofich nrou7 for the day wnrid"
"mn 9ijick"
"walla, ma5th yacht 5aly" She knew he was referring to Sultan
"I cant"
"why bring your friends your family"
"wnta btkoun alone?"
"akeed alone mby a7ad yshofich, a'3aar ;p"
"yal 3yaar, mm meta?"
"tomorrow morning"
"I have work"
"ditch, youm wa7id it wont kill you"
"dont you have work?"
"ana b6aaly"
"aha, mm ill get back to you"

Calling Mizoun

"just say yes or no"
"um ok"
"Osama ybeny a6l3 m3ah ba7ar for the day"
"no"
"okay"
"you are going right"
"ma adree"

Calling 3thari

"Just say yes or no"
"il naas tsalm"
"ma 3ndy wgt Osama ybeny al3 ba7ar m3ah for the day"
"okay"
"really?"
"ee, life is short"
"okay your answer a7san mn mizoun she said no"
"she is uptight like that, ana 9y3a oh can I come?"
"you want to?"
"ee bs mby ayey bro7y"
"y3ne agola yeeb rfejik?"
"ee"
"3thari"
"yalaaa call him"

Calling Osama

"okay"
"haa"
"I will go, ill call in my supervisor and ask her to cover for me, I have one condition"
"golay"
"ill bring he food and drinks, and a friend"
"okay"
"okay?"
"ee yuba okay"
"fehamt ana shno abee 9a7"
"ehehe ana ba6aly mo '3by lat7ateen"

They agreed on the details and the time before she went to bed.

She knew it was wrong, but right now she wanted wrong.

"nayem?"
"you are messaging the wrong guy"
"can I call you?"
"Sure"

She had her pillow talk with him.

9bee7,

not Mesfer.

Her "boyfriend"

Sultan on the other hand was planning a way on making it work. How will she split her time between Kuwait and Abu Dhabi.

What she will tell her parents?

Did he care?

He needed her on this project for it to work, because if it crashes they will lose everything. That was the agreement he made with her manager, and with the CEO.

They give him Mhra for the project, and he will drop the charges made against the bank.

Politics.

Thats what it always is about.

The thing Sultan was not ready for was spending so much time with her, he was always fascinated by her work and her personality and knew this would be hard, separating business from pleasure.

It has been a while since he has been with someone.

Does he want to go down that road with her?

He wasnt even being honest.

He brushed his feelings away before heading to bed.

"7beebty shtswy?"

Mesfer messaged Mhra, he felt like he was loosing her and at first he didnt care she was just a fling but he cant stop thinking about her.

He might even talk to his mother.

"Mhoor what are we doing?"
"we are talking"
"what are we really doing"
"I dont know"
"dont you like Mesfer"
"I do, but"
"but shino"
"you are one to talk, he is your friend"
"mm, okay"
"tbeny a9kra?"
"laa"

What was she doing, things were getting out of control.

She knew it, but curiosity was getting the better of her.

Mhra, this cant be good.

She did, oddly enough.

She never did it before, but she fell asleep on the line with Osama, he dozed off before her and a few minutes after hearing him breathing evenly she fell asleep.

She woke up bright and early, messaged Sultan asking for 1 more day before she made up her mind.

He wasnt really giving her much of an option, but now she gets to talk to the lawyer first.

She wore a stripped black and white dress, fell right at her knees, red blazer, black heels, pony tail her lipstick and a double coat of mascara.

Off to Caribou.

Then to the office.

The night before there was a crises with the system, which meant a load at the branch.

Today she decided to mingle with customers and her employees instead of hiding in her office.

She helped even with the simple tasks of depositing money into accounts, helping the elderly with their ATM cards and so on.

She was happy today.

Also, she kept checking her phone hoping Osama would message her.

He didnt

"baby im busy"
"9ba7 il khair galby ;* okay oboy ana rayi7 il dawam 3ndina assignment so lmn a5l9 akalmich"

He wouldnt, but it was what he always said.

She didnt care she was annoyed by Osama.

"can we please go out today" 3thoob sent
"of course, yes please listen I want to cut my hair and do my nails so I will go after work so bilail n6l3 ana bgoul 7g mizoun wntay golay 7g 3thari"

She called in for an appointment.

Then called the lawyer, 9bee7.

He was Mesfer's friend, she always had a crush on him but they were good friends and Mesfer got to her first.

Yes, I know ladies all of you are shaking your head in disagreement with Mhra and her "lifestyle"

She met with 9bee7, he was a flirt.

She loved it.

"Shofay n9e7ty, go along with the contract its straight forward 1 year you go there for weekends to the consults and you are back. After the year itha tbeen tgdren itkamleen m3aa"
"la ma aby"
"I wouldnt want to be on Sultan's bad side, tara y9er 7g nseeb Mesfer"

Her world stopped for a second

"bs lat5fen I am under obligation not to mention anything to him, I am assuming he doesnt know"
she just shook her head.
"9bee7"
"hala oboy" he had his head down reading the contract
"mm, sh9er 7g nseeb Mesfer"
"Y9er khalaa"
"9aber, Sultan y9er khal Osama?"
"sh3rfich ib Osama"
"ams shfnah knt m3a Mesfer"
"aha, w5ray 3n il 3yla mhra krmal Mesfer 7tan lw mat7bna"

"lw shyfa wyhich lmn gltay isma"
"Mhra ayshay y9er m3ach m3a Sultan awal ib awal tkalmny, ra7 a36ech raqmy il thany my private one"

Now Mhra was confused.

How was she to pull herself out of this.

Okay it seems easy, just ignore Osama right?

-------

She head home, got dressed into skinny dark jeans, a ruffly black shirt with her hair down.

Simples. yes.

Hot? definitely.

They headed to Burger Hub.

The area was packed, hot young men,

"I like younger guys" she was eying a young sugar candy sitting in front of her
"how young" Mizoun was worried
"ma adre younger I guess, y3ne 3dy akalm wa7id 3mra 18"
"btrbena?" 3thari laughed
"maybe" She had a devious look in her eyes "abeeh"
The girls all turned and bluntly started at the eye candy. He loved the attention
"mn 9ijich?"

"Stop staring at the boy" She was distracted by the message she got
"kaify"
"why dont you look at me like that"
"you want me to?"
"I do, but I cant"
"mm"
"mhoora"
"Ya"
"6al3eny"

She put her phone down and slowly raised her eyes, searching for his gaze.

It didnt take her long before their eyes met, and boy were his eyes mesmerizing.


Faith 4 ;** (edited)

She woke up with a headache, today was going to be her last day at work.

She has decided to decline Sultan's offer and will suffer the consequences she knew her parents would be proud of her for doing the right thing and will support her.

Walking into the branch, her heart was heavy she loved it her. This was her baby, she helped make it into what it has become.

She was remembering her customers who sent her flowers and gifts when she was promoted to branch manager, each coming in personally to congratulate her.

She closed her office door and was looking down at her phone, a tear almost escaped her eyes when there was a knock at the door.

She looked up and it was him.

She pushed back her tear and smiled.

"9ba7 il khair"
"9ba7 il nour" He sat down in front of her with a wide smile plastered on his face
"so, what did you decide on" She paused, then looked up at him with a smile
"I decline your offer, and I will suffer the consequences"
He smiled, rested back in his chair and pulled out a paper from the file he had in hand "I am glad to hear you say that"
She was confused "what do you mean"
"you are a lady with morals, and that is what I need" He placed the paper in front of her "mhra I am a business man, not a fellon I love my job, my family and my country and would never do something against the law" He eyed her down "I was testing you"
"you thought what you did was amusing"
"no, but I needed to know that I could trust you"
"why is that?"
"shofay il contract jdamich"
She quietly read through it, and realized what he was asking her "you want me to over look a new bank you are opening up in Abu Dhabi?"
"ee"
"sultan"
"hala yuba"
"mn 9ijik?"
"ee, shofay your contract is a year you will be anonymous to the actual employees you will sit down with the head of HR to decide on the hiring, the strategies and the training. No one will know what you are doing. All week you are here weekends you come to me and you will be done"
"I can't"
"you will"
"no I won't and I can't I will not risk my reputation"
He pulled out his phone and replayed the conversation the had the night before about the "illegal" transaction he wanted to do.
"shofay, don't push into doing this"
"you are blackmailing me"
"3rftay laish I want you, you are smart"
Her mind had stopped, she didn't understand what was going on let alone why this was happening to her.
"sultan"
"mhra, 7beebty hatha il 3qd its a year no one will know so please spare me your lectures read it over tomorrow morning ana 3ndich, you will sign or else you will lose the first time I was testing you now I am serious"

He walked out feeling smug about himself.

Whatever he wanted, he got.

"ee sure at 7?"
"mshy 7beebty 6l3ay mn il dawam o kalmeny"

It was a rather busy day at worked and she couldn't wait until it was over. She arrived at home and got into bed skipping lunch.

She woke up at 6 took a quick shower and got ready for her night with Mesfer.

Usually she would go over to his place and chill, today they were going to pick up dinner then head over to watch a movie.

They were at home slice, he was picking up the pizza while she waited in the car.

Just as he was about to enter, he stopped to say hi to some guys, and one of them quickly caught her eyes.

Osama.

She panicked at first, then realized the car was tinted darkly either way she took a quick glance and turned slightly so that her back was facing the window just in case he wanted to take a sneak peak.

He was handsome, different than Mesfer.

She wanted to just sit there and watch him.

Mesfer had left his phone in the car, which was what she needed and she knew the password to his phone, she didn't want to snoop around she wanted 1 thing only.

The lawyers number, his friend.

Mesfer got into the car and she pretended like she was messaging.

"mhoor"
"halla baby"
"ma a7ib tmskeen telefonich wna m3ach"
"I'm sorry 7beeby"
"sorry 6wlt knt aslm 3la osama, o5o nseeby"
"ee y7laila ma yshbh rayel e5tik"
"ee osama a7la"

They kept the small talk until they arrived to the apartment, popped a movie into the DVD and enjoyed their pizza.

She snuggled really close to him and closed her eyes to enjoy his smell.

"shfeech 7beebty mo 3jbtny"
"walla mfeny shay" He was good to her.
"you know if you need to talk I am here right"
"adree 7beeby" she looked up at him and gave him a quick kiss on his lips before he hugged her again and they sat there to finish the movie.

At 10 she headed home feeling a little better.

Tomorrow she was going to call the lawyer

Sultan loved his nieces and nephews, he worked hard for them to provide everything for them. He knew he couldn't get children on his own which is why he spoilt them endlessly, but Osama was different.

Osama was a copy of Sultan and he wanted him one day to take over and follow in his footsteps.

-------------

Let us take a step back ladies,

Mesfer's sister's husband is Osama's brother.

Mesfer's sister's husband's uncle is Sultan.

Mhra is "dating" mesfer

Mhra is "talking" to Osama

And lastly, Sultan is going to change Mhra's life completely.

This is going to be one hot juicy mess.

"shfeek ahbal"
"haa?"
"agolik shfeek ahbal masik telefonik wtibosim"

He never shared with his friends what he did in his private life, and not because he did not trust them but out of respect for the girls. He was never in a serious relationship but the girls treated him well and the least he could do was not share every picture and incident with his friends.

He was smiling like a dork because he was direct messaging a girl on twitter.

M.

She didn't have a picture or a name but the girl was hilarious.

She had a sense of humor he didn't think anyone in Kuwait had.

They didn't flirt but the direct messaged all day.

"lail7een mo nwya tgolenly ismich"
"mo a7la a'9el M it adds mystery"
"yeah it does, but I would like to have a name since I don't have a face ;p"
"LOL it took you long enough to bring up the picture, how long have you been itching for that"
"heey ana shglt, ana bs glt mfy picture o mfy name"
"aw baby boy mo mt3wd 9aa7 mt3wd they shower you with pictures"
"la yuba fahmtny '3l6"
"really, shout your timeline the only people who talk to you are girls"
"yeah well, I dont have a twitter account 3shan asolif m3a my friends"
"you have it to meet girls"
"LAAA yuba laa wallaa"
"so how do you meet girls?"

The conversations went back and forth for hours, days, weeks and yes even months.

He never brought up anything outside of twitter, and she didn't think much of it.


--------------

"he still didn't ask for your number?"
"nope"
"is he gay?"
"laa shako"
"I don't know, if it was any other guy mn ziman 6alib raqmich"
"he isn't he is different"
"ro7ay zain mako different"
"why don't you have hope"
"because all men are assholes"
"honey, did you date all men?"
"no .."
"I had a few boyfriends and they weren't bad"
"um wainhum al7een?"
"we ended on mutual terms"
"ahaa, assholes"

Somehow, everywhere you go, girls are always complaining about men and oddly enough men are complaining about women.

Both are to blame, because it depends on the individuals.

Anyways, this is a story not a lecture about men and women morals right.

I thought so.

Like I said, it was months before he asked for her number.

"okay, yala raqmny ;p"

And he did, he sent her his number and they started whats aping.

She didn't feel anything towards him he was just someone to talk to. It bothered her a little bit because she couldnt find anything wrong with the guy.

"mny dzlha message" He was talking to himself. He would purposely leave his iPhone in his car so that he wouldn't message her.

She would be waiting all day for a message for him because "I refuse to start the messaging"

"kaifha akeed mo fa'9ya" He would end the day on that note.

Which is why they stopped messaging everyday, and it became every few days.

That became every few weeks, and that became to whenever either was free.

He liked her but he wouldn't admit it to himself, or her of course.

She liked his presence and she wouldn't admit that to herself, or him of course.

Why did he refuse to answer her call?

Was she upset because he didn't answer her call?

Or does Sultan have a role in this.

Faith 1 ;**

Remember we said she was single, well more or less.

Then again, arent we all?

Mhra woke up bright and early, she fell asleep without telling him and she knew he
wouldnt go looking for her she was use to his ways, it was fine it didnt bother
her.

She got dressed in a mauve pencil skirt with a light grey crisp shirt, put her hair
up in a bun applied her eyeliner, mascara, blusher and lipstick.

Slipped into her heals and off she was to work.

She stopped at the nearest caribou got her caramel high rise before work.

Sheparked in her designated parking as branch manager, took a quick look in the
mirror and headed towards the bank entrance.

"good morning" to the security guard
"good morning madam"

The branch smelled clean, the way she liked it. She asked the tea boy to light a
piece of charcoal for the incense she recently bought. The employees story
starting piling into the meeting room.

"I am not happy about this early morning meeting, its the only
time I could sit and talk to everyone" she
hated small talk, which is why non of her staff liked
her

"we have a problem" she continued.

"we have not been reaching the minimal target as a branch, for the past two quarters we have been cutting short and management is not pleased. We need some changes because we are the smallest branch and it will be easy for one of the bigger branches to adapt us and let me assure you we dont want that to happen. We are a small branch, we all know each other"


She took a long pause and looked around.

"I know I am strict and tough but I have to be, we are the smallest and youngest in terms of age not just me but all of you as well, and I did that on purpose I thought our ages would bring us closer as a team I am guessing I am wrong. I have been given this quarter to test you all in terms of reaching your target and if you dont some will be relocated will I recruite new
staff which I really dont want to do"


They all looked at her coldly, "do we have an agreement?"

They just nodded.

As they were about to leave the meeting room.

"please help me help you, I promise I will be less uptight okay?"

They laughed and headed out to start preparing for the opening of the branch.

She headed into her office, turned her computer on coming back from the weekend was
the worst and busiest time.

Just on queue, her phone rang

Incoming Call Him

"9ba7 il khair"
"hala oboy 9ba7 il nour shlonich baby"
"il7imdilah inta shlonik"
"zaain, ha at work?"
"ee"
"how was the meeting" she always thought he didnt care but he remembered
everything she told him “were you strict?”
“ee I was, I think they hate me”
“bl3na let them hate you walla ma ra7 ylqoun mudera mthlich, a5 bs lw t9eren modesty”
"mesfer khalaa9"
“heheh okay baby I am sorry, ana a5leech you get back to work wna bgoum asb7 wrou7 il dawam okay?”
“okay 7u6 balik”

She was reading through her emails, answering the ones she needed to. Every now and then she looked up at her branch and her employees they were a nice group always smiling and welcoming of our customers.

Every now and then the usual customers would pop in great her, and say a quick hello.

She loved it here.

Her secretary walked in.

“Mhra, il istath sultan mwjoud”
“mno il istath sultan?”
“ma 3ndy fikra, ygoul you should be expecting him”

Her phone rang and it was Bassam head of the VIP customers.

“rand I will get back to you dgeega bs”

“hala bassam”
“ahlaain mhra shlonich?”
“im good, tell me about this sultan I just got richard’s email and I assuming you are calling about him”
“he specifically asked for you, he didn’t want any other branch he wants to transfer to your branch even though he lives far”
“okay what I am looking into, 36ny his account number”
“brace yourself”

To say the man had money, was an understatement.

“so?”
“he is here let me sit with him”
“don’t turn him down do you know what this will do to your branch”
“ya I know, thanks bassam ill update you later”

Mhra took her mirror out took a quick look at herself, reapplied her lipstick sprayed some perfume and got up to great il istath sultan.

“7yaak allah istath sultan”
He was much younger than she had in mind, strikingly handsome she saw how the women looked at him.
“allah y7eech istatha mhra”
“tfa’9el nd5al mktiby”

He gestured for her to walk in front of him, she waited until he was seated beforeshe sat behind her desk.

“sht7ib tshrab?”
“qahwa turkya medium”

She called the kitchen asked for 2 coffees, they exchanged small talk before
getting into the matter.

“il 9ra7a istatha Mhra I am a big fan, I have followed your career and I am intrigued and impressed which is why I want to transfer into your branch”
“ykoun il shrf lina istath sultan, bs mumkin as2al laish tby t6l3 mn fr3na ily bl 3dailya, its just protocol”
“yes akeed, il 9ra7a Iwanted a small branch where everyone knows me, and I know the staff and the branch manager hnak wayed kanat rude o nafsya wna rayal ma at7ml o ma wdy arf3 9oty 3la mra”

The meeting with istath sultan lasted an hour and half, with a few minor interruptions from the supervisor and customers.

They reached an agreement, she would do the paper work for the transfer.

This was going to be something none of the bigger branches have accomplished, to get a client with multiple six figure accounts was something rare, especially since the bank was smaller in consideration to the other banks in the country.

She wanted to show off, but had to act professionally

“I need to show off”
“Golely”
“I got a customer, y7limoun il afr3 il thanya y79lona”
“mabrook”
“alah ybarik feek, sorry I am super exited I had to tell someone”
“o fakrtay feeny”
“mm ee laish ;s?”
“la that’s something nice”
“hehe okay, um shloonik ;p?”
“ana zain”
“feek shay?”
“no baby im fine”
“baby??”
“ee shino my9er?”
“ugh ma adree”
“shfeech M, its just a word”
“aha y3ne tgolha 7g everyone?”
“no bs its just a word”
“okay anyways I have to go”
“ya I know you have work you are busy 9a7”
“yup”
“okay”

She was irritated, she didn’t understand why.

She just was.


“shfeeha kathy” He thought to himself.

The thing is he never said that word to anyone, then again he was never serious about anyone.

Do you want to know how they met?

I mean how he got her number?

Faith Intro ;**

Here it goes, my new story.
I hope you like it, remember it has been a WHILE since I have written anything.
Enjoy ;**
-----------------------
"iff malait"
"shfeech b3d"
"I dont know, malait mn hal routine"
"3baly 3ndich salfa"
"3thoob"
"na3m mahoor"
"dal3ny I am your older sister"
"thats why intay mfrou'9 edal3eny"

Lets talk about our characters a little bit shall we?

Mhra, or mahoor as everyone calls her, is the main character more or less. She graduated with a degree in Economics at the age of 21 from Kuwait University and went into the banking world. She is the youngest, in the history of Kuwait, branch manager. She was a hard worker, first one in last one out.

Plus, she worked for a small relatively new bank which is why she was able to climb the ladder in such a short amount of time.

She is currently 28.

Single,

Well, more or less single.


3thoob

Her younger sister. Didnt attend university, does not work, has no goals in life all she wants is to get married.

She is single.

Completely the opposite of her sister who was ambitious and driven.
------------------------

He was a quiet boy, work, nap, gym, duwanya. On weekends he would go out with friends or family and sometimes went to the shalaih.

He wasnt very different then the rest the men in the country.
He worked in the oil sector.

He dreamed big, but never did anything to really accomplish any of his goals.
He was tall, dark and yes handsome.

Nothing special about his looks, he looked like your average Kuwaiti man.
And boy do we love the average Kuwaiti man, right ladies?

He never had a serious girlfriend, but he did talk to girls he had them on his bbm but never asked to see them (physically or a picture) he wasnt looking for anything he just enjoyed chatting to several girls.

Except one girl, she was the only girl with his number. Even though she had a blackberry, they whats apped all day and she was the only girl he took interest in.

He never went looking for her, but on the rare occasion that they did talk they would spend hours talking.

She always claimed "she was busy at work"

Shino hal wa'9eefa he would think to himself.

All he knew about her was her name "M"

"shino M"
"ismy"
"7lfay bs, adree bs shino ismich?"
"its a secret ;p"
"laish yuba tara bs ism"
"adree bs mo a7la chithi? mystery"
"la mo a7la intay it3rfen kl shay 3ny"
"ma7d galik tgoly, I never asked you chose to share with me"
"ee 3dy, yala golely"
"nope, ismy M"
"3la ra7tich"


Who is M?

Will she be a new character, or have we already met her?
