A simple task

Sarah: To be honest, Zina, my mom forgot her bag, and it has important things she needs for work. She left it here and went to work, and I have to take it to her, but the problem is that I have an exam and I can't be late for it. I called her a lot to ask someone to take it to her, but she's not answering, and I don't know what to do. Maybe if you're not busy... hurry up and take her bag to her, please, Zina.

Zina: But you scared me, my dear. I said it was a disaster, God forbid. Anyway, my lecture is at 11:30, and it's 9:00 now. I was just leaving early because I agreed with two of my friends to hang out a little before the lecture, but it's okay. I'll sit with them during the break between the two lectures.

Sara: Don't worry, Zeina, I'll keep you company and help you with your notes, but honestly, I don't have any other solution.

Zeina: But, my dear, you won't delay me, you won't tire me, you won't ruin my plans, and none of the nonsense you're saying will happen. Besides, we're not sisters or anything, and life is a wheel, which means I might find myself in a situation where I need your help, and I'm sure you won't abandon me then. me.

Sarah: My dear, God bless you, you're more than a sister to me, and I'm at your service for anything you need. Here's the bag, and I'll give you the address.

Zina: Okay, do you need anything?

Sarah: No, my dear, thank you.

Zina: God be with you, and keep me informed after you finish the exam.

Sarah: Yes.

Zina, after she got off the stairs in front of the building door.

Zina, Zina.

Zina: I ask forgiveness from God Almighty.

Ahmed: Zina, can I know why you're not answering me?

Zina: Why should I answer you?

Ahmed: Because I love you and asked your grandmother for your hand in marriage.

Zina, nervously: I refused, and please don't talk to me again because our relationship is wrong and forbidden. Please leave me alone.

Ahmed: Okay, I understand why you're rejecting me.

Zina, very nervously: Okay, please stay away from me.

Ahmed: Because I drink and I'm not close to God, right? Just agree, Zina, and I promise I'll stop drinking completely, I'll get closer to God, and I'll do everything to make you happy.

Zina: I ask forgiveness from God Almighty. We draw closer to God because that is right, and we distance ourselves from our desires because paradise is worth it, not to please people. Please don't make me bear the sin of standing here talking to someone I have no connection with. Please move away from me with good taste, or I will literally go to the police station and report you for you are disturbing me.

Ahmed, loudly: I will not leave you, Zeina, because I do not just love you, I adore you, and the words you said will not scare me. You will be mine, whether by choice or by force. You understand, and you will be my wife and live in my house. He left and walked away.

Zeina: May God keep him busy with his life and keep him away from me.

It is 8 o'clock in London.

In one of the most beautiful villas in London,

a woman in her fifties is sitting, browsing the internet and following all the latest news about Hamza Al-Assiouti's fortune.

Shaza: Good morning, Mom.

Farida: Good morning, Shaza. Where have you been, my dear?

Shaza: I was out running.

Farida: Okay, let's have breakfast together.

Shaza: Okay.

Shaza: Mom, why aren't you eating?

Farida: I'm a little distracted.

Shaza: Can I know what it is?

Farida: Hamza's wealth keeps growing. His money is increasing very quickly.

Shaza: Yes, because Hamza is a successful person.

Farida: Oh, Shaza, if Hamza is your soulmate, all his wealth will be at our disposal.

Shaza: Yes, we've talked about this a lot, and I told you that Hamza is not on my mind.

Farida: I don't know how your mind works, but that's not how it works. All the girls in the world are running after him.

Shaza: Let them.

Farida: You want me to die of jealousy? No way. I won't let some stranger come and take everything I have.

Shaza: I'll tell you something. Let him choose.

Farida: If you hadn't decided to study here in London, we would still be in Egypt. He wasn't ready to ask for your hand in marriage.

Shaza: By God, you're convinced of what you're saying. Clear your head, just like Hamza isn't in my head, and I'm not in his. You know that he's never seen me as more than a sister, just like he's my cousin and my older brother, and he's 11 years older than me.

Farida: And what about your father, may God have mercy on him? He was much older than me, and tomorrow I'll make him think of you and ask me for your hand in marriage, or else I'm no longer Farida Al-Assiouti.

Shaza: Really, there's no point. Excuse me.

Farida: Where are you going? Sit down and finish your meal.

Shaza: I'm full, excuse me.

Farida: Look at him, he's as poor as your father, may God have mercy on him.

At Zeina's

Zeina got on the minibus and kept remembering God all the way there.

Zeina arrived at the villa's door and was impressed by its beauty from the outside.

Zina to herself: God, what beauty! If it's like this from the outside, how beautiful must it be on the inside? God willing.

Security guard: Miss?

Zina, distracted: Yes?

Security guard: I've been trying to talk to you for a while, but you weren't with me. Can I help you with anything?

Zina: Yes, there's a woman who works here named Tant Suad.

Security guard: Yes.

Zina: Please, I want to see her.

Security guard: Who are you?

Zina: I'm her neighbor, and I want to give her something important.

Security guard: Okay, go ahead.

On the other side

Hamza: Okay, Ziad, send me all the reports on the new project and I'll look at them.

Ziad: Sure, I'll send them to your email right now.

Hamza: Okay.

Ziad: Are you coming to the company today?

Hamza: If I finish my work in the administration, I might come a little later.

Ziad: Okay, my friend. God bless you.

Hamza: Goodbye.

Hamza presses a button next to him: Suad, bring me my coffee.

Suad: Yes, sir.

At Zeina's place

Zeina was about to enter through the main door of the villa.

The security guard said fearfully: Wait here. Where are you going?

Zina: Inside.

The security guard said nervously: Inside? You want to go inside? Not from here.

Zina went behind the security guard until they reached the kitchen through the service door.

The security guard said: Mrs. Suad, someone is asking for you.

Souad, worried: Zina, what's going on? Are you okay? Is something wrong with Sarah?

Zina, calmly: Don't worry, Auntie. Sarah is fine, and I'm fine too. I just came to give you your bag. You forgot it, and she couldn't come because of her exam.

Souad:

Why didn't you call me?

Zina: She says she called you many times, but you didn't answer.

Souad takes her phone out of her bag: Yes, she did call, but I didn't hear it because I had it on silent mode. Sorry, Zina, we kept you waiting and delayed you, my dear.

Zina smiles: No trouble at all, Auntie.

Souad, fearfully: Oh, my God!

Zina: What's wrong, Auntie?

Souad, very fearful: I forgot Hamza's coffee. I was distracted by the food and completely forgot about it. Zina, my dear, can I ask you a favor?

Zina: Of course, Auntie, without asking my permission.

Souad pleads: Please, can you make some black coffee and take it to Hamza Bey? Please, my dear, I have to make a very important phone call.

Zina: Yes, but

Souad interrupts and pleads: Please, Zina, there's no one else right now. The other girls have gone to get things for the kitchen, and if I'm late, they'll refuse to help me. And don't worry, Hamza Bey is fine. Safia, who works with us here, said he went into the office, but he told me to bring it to my room, which means you'll just have to knock and then you'll come in and put the coffee on the table, and then you'll leave.

Zina: Okay, but your refusal to that extent

Souad: And more, my daughter, you don't know him.

On the other hand, Hamza did go into the office, but then he came out, went to his room, took a shower, got dressed, and then answered the phone.

Hamza: Hello, Ashraf.

Ashraf: Hamza Bey, His Excellency wants you.

Hamza: Okay, I'll be right there.

A few minutes later

Zina: Aunt Suad, I finished the coffee.

Suad: Okay, my dear. Hamza Bey's room is the one at the top of the stairs.

Zina: Okay.

Zina to herself: God help me.

As Zina was walking with the coffee, she bumped into someone and spilled the coffee on them.
