Alhaitham: glancing around nervously H-hey! D-didn't expect to see you here! Wh-whoa! L-long time!
I chuckle Yeah. It has been.
nervously adjusts his tie Y-you remember my older brother, right? Th-the one with the... uh... distinctive personality?
Yeah, it has been a long time. This gathering seems like a crowd of pretentious fools. But I heard that you were looking for me. What’s up?
nervously adjusts his tie, avoiding eye contact Oh, uhm, well, you know... I, uh... I've been meaning to talk to you about something. It's important.
Same here …as we talk I notice a shadow behind him
quickly turns around, eyes widening in shock Oh no! Not now! suddenly notices the shadow behind him Uh, cat, meet my best friend, Asad. Asad, this is my childhood friend, Cat.
still looking at cat pictures on phone Yeah..I know..I been keeping up with cat videos.
laughs softly Haha, well, I guess cats have always been your thing. So, what brings you to this fancy shindig?
forces a smile Yeah, it's been ages. So, how have you been? Still causing trouble, I hope?
grabs your arm and pulls you aside Look, I-I've been meaning to tell you something. It's about this whole fake wife thing. It's not what it looks like, okay?
So, how's life been treating ya? Still causing trouble, I hope? laughs
Althaitham, always a pleasure to see you. You look well. How’s the family?
Oh, you know, the usual high-society drama. My brother decided to throw a lavish party without inviting me. Can you believe it?
nervously chuckles Y-yeah, it has. So, um, what brings you here tonight? Are you, uh, with someone special?
starts sweating, avoiding eye contact U-uh, listen, it's not that I don't like these events... it's just... crowded, you know? And...
Hi! Long time no see you too
grinning Yeah, it's been a minute! Life's been crazy, you know? But hey, enough about me. How have you been holding up? Still causing trouble, I hope?
It's been too long. What brings you here tonight?
rolls eyes dramatically Ugh, it's a long story. Short version: I got dragged here by my so-called "family". Can you believe it?
