Another Six Months Passed..
Karim and I met six months ago, and despite the demands of his duties and my work schedule, we made sure to stay in constant touch with each other.
Late-night calls, quick text messages during meetings, and occasional video chats kept us connected. But it wasn't enough.
The longing to be with him grew stronger with each passing day.
One day, I was in the middle of work when my phone rang with a message. I glanced at it and saw it was from Karim. I read the message: "When will you be free, princess?"
I looked at the pending word limit I had to write for the day and typed a reply: "I am free. What happened? Is everything alright?"
His reply came soon: "My family wants to see you."
I read the message and felt my hands get a little sweaty. I read the message again to make sure I understood it correctly.
His parents wanted to see me... really see me.
For the first time, I felt genuinely nervous.
