Meena Narrates: To be a good girl… (2)
Later, when Nadir tired arrived home from job, his first question was about Tahir’s visit and if
something special had happened.
Meena told him briefly what was going on. Nadir didn't say much but again stressed that he
wouldn't be disappointed or angry if she had wanted to start something with Tahir, no matter
how far and intense. Nadir told her that for him, Tahir as her lover for her, is okay and
stressed that only she has to describe to him exactly how it was between the two of them
afterwards.
The next day was Monday and Meena as always had much to do. Her new responsibility
required her complete and full commitment especially the first days. And the next week was a
very busy week.
On Wednesday, afternoon as she had a cup of coffee in her room, her new secretary
reported a young visitor for her via the office pager. Meena asked for his name and the
secretary replied that he had identified himself as Mr. Cyrus Noori.
Meena was very surprised and told the secretary to send him in.
Cyrus was very respectful this time. He apologized again for the recent incident in her home
and said that he understood her and that she wanted to punish him. But now he came to
personally congratulate her on her career advancement and also brought his father's
congratulations.
Then he smiled and added, "He was a bit hurt that that he was not informed directly by you
but by me."
Meena spoke, "It's not really important thing, it is just a new job with more responsibility, but if
you talk to him, excuse me. And how did you find out?".
Cyrus replied, "Just yesterday evening Uncle Tahir told me."
Meena was a little surprised, "Was he with you? Because he was with us yesterday
afternoon and then wanted to go home... Is he okay?".
"Yes, he is okay, actually it was planned that he would only go home on Wednesday. He still
has a lot to do here, he said, especially with the Asian family. And he's been with me since
yesterday evening. He didn't want to stay with Farzan."
That was kind of strange for Meena. Is Tahir hurt or insulted by me because of yesterday?
Otherwise, why would he have lied and said he was going home? Why didn't he want to stay
with Farzan? What was going on between the two of them? Is she to blame for everything?
She said, "Cyrus, can you tell him to call me, he has my number, and we need to discuss his
invitation this weekend." She didn't want Cyrus becomes sceptical about what is going on
that she wants to talk to Tahir.
He said, “Is okay I tell him, but promise me that you visit me too, when you are in his farm,”.
While he was talking, a message came from outside, 'Professor, Dr. Kharraz is here.'
Meena replied, 'He should come in, please.' Then she turned to cyrus, smiled and said, “I
Promise to visit you in your farm hause, now I have to go on, I'm sorry,".
Cyrus answered, "Sure, see you then, but like I said, if you need anything or you need
somebody to do something for you, anything, just call me," and then he said goodbye.
Meanwhile, Hamed was already inside and was watching Cyrus curiously from top to bottom.
When Cyrus left, he smiled and said, "Meena, what do I see? You have such attractive young
men visitors, I became jealous! “ and winked.
Meena blushed a little and said, "Oh... He… He's unfortunately only the son of a friend!",
then laughed and continued, "What can I do for you, dear Hamed? What is on your mind?".
Hamed replied, "I have a lot in my heart, but when I see you, I forget everything!", and
laughed and added, "But you will make me happy if you come to dinner to me on Friday.
We are going to celebrate with some friends and colleagues my return and also my new
position as vice director of faculty."
Meena smiled and replied, "I do it with pleasure for my deputy!"

Later, when she and Nadir were both home, she immediately told about Cyrus and her
conversation with him.
Nadir said, "Oh, I think you hurt someone. You must now try to get it out of his heart”, then he
smiled and winked, “, “you have to win his heart back, you know you can do that very well, I
assume, I'm with you no matter how you do it,", he taunted, again with a wink and laughed.
Meena laughed, slapped his shoulder lightly with the back of her hand and said, "Stop it, you
nasty mister, I just hope he calls."
Nadir became serious and said, "If you want, but only if you want and believe, then you can
invite him to dinner tomorrow evening."
"You mean in a restaurant together?" Meena asked.
Nadir answered bored and shaking his head, "No, you silly, you cook for him at home. I'll be
in the operating room until late tomorrow evening anyway.".
Meena looked thoughtful for a moment but then said, "Okay, if you think so..."
yes, I mean. Please, he is disappointed now and doesn't know what is going on. He probably
doesn't understand what you want from him, pulling with one hand and pushing away with
your foot..."
Meena said, "Yes, you are right. He doesn't understand the world anymore, of course. I know
and I understand that, but I couldn't do it without your presence...".
"Look, my baby, either you have to tell him how our game went, with me behind the door and
cameras. That means that you admit that what you did was only because of me. Then he will
surely be insulted and break off his contact, as I know him. He is not Jalal... Or apologize in
another way and in the way you know best, you make up for it compensate your mistake and
win his heart. It is your choice and decision, I can only say I am with you and you do not have
to wait for my presence, do what you have to do and what you think is right and above all
what you want and what you feel about him.
I trust you and I do not want to lose his friendship either. Now I am very tired and hungry and
need to eat and sleep, I am sure you too, baby.”
After dinner, before going to bed, Nadir went to his study. While she was tidying up the
kitchen, Meena was wondering what she should do.
How should she react when Tahir calls? Now it wasn't Nadir and his reaction that was her
problem, but her behaviour towards this old lumberjack. She likes him as a man and he
seemed very interested in her, but how far should she let him go and give herself to him?
He was a rather dominant type and as she knew him, now if she asked him for forgiveness,
he would want the whole thing, she thought... Her problem was that she wasn't sure if she
wanted that and could do that far...
She was still busy with thoughts when she sat down briefly in the living room, then the phone
rang.
Tahir: Hi, Meena, everything okay?
Meena: Hi Tahir, for us yes, but for you too? I was worried, you said you are leaving for
ranch, but then…
Tahir: Yes, that was my intention, then I thought about it... everything else is fine. Cyrus said
you're coming to farm at the weekend? Have I invited you yet?
Meena: No…No, I wanted to speak to you but so that he doesn't get suspicious, what could it
Be and why, then I said something like that about farm...
Tahir: Okay, but you can come to me at weekend. Now I do officially invite you. I mean
certainly, if you like.
Meena: Okay, we speak about it… Now, I wanted to apologize about yesterday. I… I... was
afraid that my husband can arrive any moment…
Tahir: Look, Meena, listen... I don't want to push you... I admit, I was disappointed... After we
got so close and the happenings of the night before yesterday... I was completely gone and
didn't know what was wrong with you. You don't need to apologize; I respect your decision
and I won't contact you spontaneously or expect anything... I'm not a pusher, if you don't
want to, then we let it be. And about your husband, I have to say, after the first time in ranch,
in bad weather day, when Farzan and I made an approach, your husband was there too and
he didn't react and was not upset, so that's not an argument for me, sorry...
Meena: Tahir, let me explain. That day in ranch if it had progressed further, he would have
definitely come forward and said something. Apart from that, I want to make it up to you... I... I...
Tahir: You want to meet me! Right?
Meena laughed and didn’t know how to answer. She was surprised by Tahir's directness.
Tahir: Lady, Mrs. Director, Professor, You must know what you want, without wandering
around, be honest with yourself and therefore with me too. Talk to me and reply.
Meena (quietly): Right!
Tahir: What?
Meena: I want…
Tahir: What? Do you want to see me?
Meena (quietly): Yes…
Tahir: Say it.
Meena: Yes, I want to see you...
Tahir: Then I accept you apologize.
Meena: Thank you, Tahir,… Do you like to come here, tomorrow? I am alone…
Tahir: Does it make you happy?
Meena: Yes, it does… It makes me happy if you come…
Tahir: Okay… I accept our invitation. at what time?
Meena: after 3 pm I am home.
Tahir: Just one thing, please no pants, I like you in skirt.
Meena: Okay, I promise…
