02-"The Bridge"

Heba opened the article with the lines "We don't always get what we want, everything is temporary, neither happiness nor sadness",
           Heba typed some words and then again erased them she did this again and again as she was trying to form some sentences which would help her write the article. Heba then stopped and looked out of the window in search of inspiration, as she was looking at her surroundings her eyes laid on the address that Lia had given to her. Heba contemplated whether she should go and visit him or not, she told herself, No, I don't think it's a good idea.
Heba got up to drink tea and as she was drinking she felt that there was no harm in visiting once. Heba then packed her bags, took her keys and left to meet the mysterious stranger whom Lia had insisted Heba meet. Heba thought to herself how a stranger could help her but then she had a feeling that meeting with this stranger would be a good decision.

                    Heba continued to walk in search of the address. Heba wore a beige bodycon stylized with a dark brown overcoat, and ankle-length boots, adding some subtle but high-quality gold jewellery and some pairs of rings.

Heba drove her car to the given address. She parked her car at the entrance where the gates were high and were in a thick blue colour, she walked through the gates, passed through the planted flowers and she saw a bridge that led to his home, as was crossing over the bridge Heba saw a tall man who is in the lighter shades of brown and dark brown hair, wearing a loose white shirt paired with baggy black jeans standing under the sweetgum tree where his silhouette creates a Déjà vu for Heba, as she recalls, that very strange situation which left a lifetime imprint on her memory.

                     Mr. Rayhn said Heba and walked towards him. He turned in search of the calling voice, his light brown eyes shone as the sunlight hit his face. Those thick brows and prominent nose gave a bold statement of his face, his elevated cheekbones and his not-so-cheeky jawline perfected his face structure, where his small dimple was acting as icing on the cake.

         Rayhn's eyes were stuck on Heba's, he stood with hands in his pockets and awe of her beauty. As she walked towards him, the autumn leaves created room for romance where their hearts sparkled and their eyes lit up when they first laid their eyes on each other.

Heba introduced herself to Rayhn,
she said,
hello, Mr Rayhn I'm Heba from the editorial company "Stars in the Night".  I was asked to meet you at this address, my boss Lia was the one who introduced me to you.
I'm sure you might have heard of my situation where I'm writing this article whose main theme is philosophy and romance which I'm not good at both, so I am not sure how exactly meeting with you would help me write this article as I have no idea who you are and how you are going to help me with this.
Ah, so what do you say then?
Rayhn was amused with her speech he then in a low deep voice asked Heba Tea or Coffee?
  Heba said ah,?
  Rayhn said which drink will you have, Tea or Coffee?
  Heba said Tea.
  Rayhn asked Heba to sit on the chair which was under the sweetgum tree where he was standing.
  Rayhn went inside his house to bring the drinks while Heba was glancing over his house and she said to herself he heard right?

Rayhn brings in the drinks and says
I have known Lia from my childhood she and I were neighbours and far family relatives and she once in a while used to mention you, who has great talent but does not know how to appreciate it. Let me give you a gist of myself.

I'm Rayhn Qalfi, a writer and a professor at Stars in the Night University. I'm the owner of your editorial company and Dean of the university moreover, when an employee is at his last he takes aid from his boss. Since I'm the CEO of your company, don't you think I'm qualified enough to help you, don't I?
