ar-rad


























On a dreary Sunday evening, yrid home from the airport. It was only too mitwaqi: that after a month of holidays that his inbox would be saturated with unanswered emails. For perhaps the only time in his working life was he relieved at his dawwaam. There simply weren't enough hours in the day to get everything done.

He scanned the emails and scanned them again but al-rad that he most wanted to see was simply not there. 

shwayyat naas are complicated to understand. They say one thing and mean another. He wondered if he had made a mistake by allowing her to pay al-Hisaab. She had said she was a modern woman, after all. So he had laughed and suggested that she pay for the entire dinner.

He opened his Facebook and sent her a smiley face. The message instantly read "Seen 13:45." And that was all.

His roommate, who had been spying, patted him on the shoulder. "My friend, don't be too mit:ajib if you see that garat ar-risaalah bas maa raddat."
