Chapter 5 : Wealthy Catch: Unexpected Encounters and Unforeseen Opportunities
I responded sarcastically, "What does it look like to you? Can't you see the fishing rod and thread in my hand?" Despite my sarcastic reply, she responded with respect, saying, "I'm sorry maybe I got a heatstroke, and I don't know what to say." Honestly, I felt a twinge of guilt for how I answered, or perhaps it was just guilt because she was beautiful. She fell silent for a moment and then said, "I liked the look of this fish you have. I want to buy it from you." I replied, "I'm sorry, but this fish is not for sale. I caught it to take home and eat it myself, I apologize".
However, she wasn't satisfied with my words and insisted, "I won't let you go until you accept selling them to me. You can catch these fish again but that doesn't apply to me , This is the first time I've seen this kind,and probably the last time ,and my father has never brought us such a fish before. Please agree." I saw determination in her eyes , and she was adamant about buying those fish. I paused for a moment, contemplating whether to sell her the fish or not. After a while, I thought to myself, "Why not? I do need the money, but how much will she offer for these fish?" .After some thought, I said to her, "Congratulations, miss. You can take these fish."
I handed her the fish and said, "Here, take them." A broad smile appeared on her face as she took the fish from my hands. She reached into a wallet around her waist, pulled out 400 dirhams, and said to me, "Take it, please." I felt awkward accepting money from her. The girl was exceptionally beautiful, and The features of wealth were evident on her.. I hesitated, contemplating whether to take the money or not, but I was in desperate need of cash. I decided to set aside flirting for another time; I couldn't refuse in this situation. I took the 400 dirhams from her and said, "I don't have change for 400 dirhams." She smiled and said, "You can take it all." I insisted, "No, I can't take that much." She replied, "Please, take it. I've made you sell this fish against your will. Thank you." After exchanging a few words, she and her friend left. I put the 400 dirhams in my pocket and started walking
. Moments later, I found myself laughing . God never closes one door without opening another. Now that life had smiled at me a bit, I realized it was time to fix my life and rely on myself from now on. I returned home to find Brad alone in the house, while Jacob and Adam were at work. Brad asked me, "Did you return from fishing, Captain? How was today's catch?" I started laughing and said, "It was a good catch. I earned 400 dirhams just this morning." Brad was surprised and said, "At this rate, I should join you for fishing." I told him, "You need to hear the story of how I got this money." He sat on the couch, a gleam in his eyes, as if I were telling a bedtime story to a child, and said, "Go ahead, I'm all ears." I began narrating, "I caught a fish I had never seen before in my life. It was a new species." Then, I detailed my encounter with the two girls and what happened afterward. He looked at me, and while I expected perhaps a question about the fish, but a man remains a man. He asked, "Did you get her phone number?" I shouted at him and said, "The last thing on my mind is girls. You know I'm not interested, and I'm not thinking about that. My only concern now is what I'll do with my life..." . Brad looked at me and said, "Come on, man, don't be like this. If you put too much pressure on yourself, you'll end up with depression or some kind of silly illness."
After hearing those words, I didn't want to prolong the discussion with Brad. I informed him that I would go take a shower, and when I'm done, we can go out and eat together. Indeed, after finishing my shower, I changed into fresh clothes, and we headed out for a meal. On our way, we passed by a place selling shawarma, so I said to Brad, "Hey, Brad, let's go in here. I'm craving shawarma." Brad didn't hesitate and agreed immediately. We entered the shop and sat, waiting for the waiter. After a moment, a waitress of exceptional beauty arrived, took my order, and turned to Brad to ask. I noticed Brad in a state of shock, unable to speak, mesmerized by her beauty as if struck by lightning. I told her he would have the same as me. The waitress walked away, turned back to Brad, and said, "Hey, what happened to you? Did you have a stroke or something?" He said to me, "I think I've fallen in love." I burst into laughter. After a while, the girl brought our food. We ate, and when I get to the counter to pay the bill, as we were about to leave something completely unexpected happened. The waitress approached me and ...
