🍛 They were sitting at the dining table on break, each of them eating and enjoying their food, and only Auta was not behind in girlishness. She kept looking at Fadila and smiling in her heart, and in a hotel she was pretending to be upset.
After they finished eating, Auta started the conversation "Honestly, I really enjoyed how you came today. You looked at that figure like you didn't care, that's why I want to beg you about this matter, please and God protect you. I wish you a quick recovery, but don't stress yourself, because your only medicine is rest and peace of mind."
Then she called Fadila, and said "Queen Fadila, I spent the night at Auta's house, so I will spend two nights at her house starting from today, and from then I will come home every other day."
They all went silent listening to her, each with what she was thinking in her mind.
Auta said "At what point do you think it's right for us to reduce the workload? Khleed said "You people are free, but when Fadila spoke it was like she reduced half of my strength." She looked at them and said that’s how it was, and Khleed said "Yes."
That’s how the discussion ended, with a lot of different opinions. Khleed and Fadila, and Auta were laughing as they talked, and what Fadila was saying was full of hidden pain. Only the foolishness of Khleed's jealousy was what would ruin everything at that time.
That’s how the day passed without any worry, and Fadila and Auta became friends. Auta kept going to her house, and all of them ate together.
..................................................
Today was the day Fadila was to spend the night, so that's why she prepared dinner.
She had arranged everything at the dining table, and at exactly 8pm she served the food. Fadila herself served Auta after she had served Khaleed first.
Auta, who was used to eating carelessly, didn't know the time she was being treated with respect at the dinner table, and she was testing him in eating, and saying "Salamatu...... don’t greet if that's how you are..."
While eating she was testing him little by little, sometimes she would send him to get something from inside while her mother was at the table, and Khaleed would jump up to go and get it for her, even though she could get up herself.
As for Khaleed, even if he had a spoonful of food in his mouth, he would drop it and listen. He wouldn't say anything, he would just look at her and smile, and when she was eating, he would praise her for being able to cook.
Meanwhile Auta would act like she didn't care, but deep down she was happy, she just pretended to be okay because she knew there was no way
she would cook and not eat it so she started accusing others of being dishonest, but she herself knew the food was really delicious, that's why she kept asking for more.
After they finished eating, the four of them sat and chatted for a bit. "It's almost half past" Auta said, yawning at Khaleed and telling him she was sleepy and wanted to sleep, but she told the girls to go ahead and sleep while she stayed.
Then Fadila said, "I'm sleepy too, I'm going to sleep. Come tomorrow and see me. I stayed up all night yesterday, I've slept for four hours, that's why I'm so sleepy." After saying that she greeted Auta and left.
She went to her room, took off her clothes and put on a long nightgown, and went to bed with the intention of sleeping, but she couldn't sleep.
