The Iranian
Mona and Akef - Part III
Index
He reached down and grabbed her hand and told her that he
just can't
have anything bad happen to her and that he wants the best
for her. She
moved closer to him and he embraced her. He walked her
upstairs to her
room to be sure she was safe. As he left the hotel he
hailed a cab.
Akef was standing outside smoking a cigarette. The next
morning Akef
phoned Mona from the lobby. He told her to get ready and
he took her to
an absolutely wonderful boutique where an entourage of
beautiful French
women modeled fabulous dresses and gowns for her. She felt
so special,
thrilled, and excited. Akef told her which ones he liked
and she concurred
as he did have good taste. They left the boutique and
traveled a few hours
to the Versailles.
It was such a romantic afternoon. After their quick visit
they returned
to the hotel and Akef told her to get ready in one hour
and wear something
peach. She said she didn't have anything in peach.
Mona went upstairs and found big boxes on top of each
other from the
boutique they visited. She opened each one quickly and
found the peach
colored dress. She lifted her hair half way and let curls
hang from each
side and just looked so elegant. She stared at herself in
the mirror and
saw how beautiful she was and smiled and didn't think she
was chubby at
all. She ignored everything Babak told her.
She felt an urge to unveil a layer of her mind. She told
him that she
did much more with him than she intended.
