Chapter 20

Faisal's point of view

I was right. I never got over her. I never forgot her smile, it was beautiful. She was beautiful when she was 13. When she was just a kid. Ajal keif l7een ? When shes 16 ? I wanted to see her, i wanted to see that familiar face. I might be back home in riyadh, but it wont feel like home until i see her. Until i see her eyes. Whenever i looked into them when we were kids i got lost in them. Maybe if i look into them now, i'll remember all the times we had together. We were just a bunch of kids bs i really did love her , and i still do. But she can't know, not yet.

My phone interrupted my thoughts

Hala: "I miss youu </3"

Me: "I miss you more"

Hala: "R u back??"

I opened the chat but didnt answer, did she want me to be back ?"

Hala:

PING!!!

PING!!!

PING!!!

PING!!!

PING!!!

Me: "Bsmllaah ! Eee rj3t!"

Hala: "WALLA!:O:D"

Hala: "7amdella 3ala salamtk oo salamt ahlk ! Kefhm inshalla kwayseen?"

Me: "Eee 7amdella tmam, enti kefk oo kef el waled ?"

Hala: "7amdella bs ma a'6n ydri ennkm rj3to ! Akeed bynb96!"

Me: "Ahh ee lssa ma glna le a7ad enna raja3na"

Hala: "I feel special ;;)"

Hala: "Mta rj3to ?"

Me: "You are ! Gabl 3 ayam"

Hala: "Ahh 7lo nawarat!"

Me: "Bwjoodk!"

Hala: "6yb lazm 2book ykallm baba 3shan nshoof b3'6 !"

Me: "Inshalla :*"

Hala's point of view *2 weeks later*

What do i weaaar ?!

I was standing in front of my closet and i keep thinking i have nothing to wear for tonight.

Faisal and his family jayeen lyoom 3ndna.

And as i was struggling with my dresses, skirts, and tops our maid Joy came in holding the house phone

Joy: "Someone want talk to you"

Me: "Who is it ?"

Joy: "Abdlmajid he say he have to talk with you"

Oh no im trying so hard to forget him i just dont wanna talk about him. 

I need to forget him.

Me: "Tell him i dont want to talk"

Joy *speaking to the phone*: "Hala in the batroom now" and she winked at me 

I gave her a thumbs up.

Joy *whispering to me*: "he say he wait!!"

My godd

Me: "Give me thank you joy"

She nodded and left

Me: "Alo."

Majeed: "Hala a5eeran lazm akallmk."

Me: "Mmm"

Majeed: "walla asef e4a za3altk lamma kallamtk ma knt ag9d walla sorry bs please fahimini wsh elli 9ar ! E4a 3la elli gtltlk ya a5er mrra walla i understand e4a za3alti bs 9ara7a elli benna akthr mn enna y5rb 3la shy zy k4a!"

Me: "Majeed ma abik tloom nafsk, its not you its me, ana mani jahza"

Majeed: "6yb njhz sawa Hala please ! Ana ajahzk please Hala i need you in my life and i love you!!!"

Im not gonna cry im not gonna cry im not gonna cry im not gonna cry

Me: "Majeed i cant"

Majeed: "Please 7abibti walla el esboo3en elli fato kano a93ab esboo3en b 7ayati ! a93ab mn esboo3en niha2i thaleth thanawi"

Is he seriously trying to joke right now ?

I sighed.

Majeed: "Hala moo lazm nkoon m3 b3'6 bs aham shy enni akallmk ! aham shy enni a3rf enni law a7tajk agdr akallmk please !"

Me: "Majeed i love you i do .."

Majeed: "I love you more!"

Me: "Let me continue." * i liked this feeling of being in control* "I love you but i cant, i cant talk to you in any way , its not fair. for me or for you, its not fair for you to wait for me, because i dont know when im gonna be ready, it might be after a month or after a year or when im done with college, but i cant string you along all this time. And i dont want to feel like im under pressure by talking to you. I want you to forget me Majeed, just forget me, i might be something special in your eyes, bs fi ktheer banat zyyi, oo a7la mnni, oo a7sn mnni. I'm sorry from all my heart. I'll .. i'll never forget.. you.." *by now i've probably cried a river, and my voice was shakier than ever* "because.. you made me happy, u made me ... sm-mile" there was so much i wanted to say but i couldnt "Bye majeed"

And i hung up, that was that. 

I wiped my tears and put on some make up. I looked at the mess of clothes on my bed and gave out a loud sigh.

I decided to go with a long skirt and a nice top.

The bell rang.

I put on my flats and ran down.

A5er mrra shft Faisal oo 3elta mn 3 sneen, oo a5er mrra mama kant m3ana.

I missed them all.

Baba fata7lhm el bab oo shfta.

Shft Faisal.

My stomach was doing this weird thing, i guess this what you call butterflies ?

Oh god he's so good looking. Look at his hair, oh my god and that smile of his, not to forget...

Oh my god what was i thinking i shook the ideas out of my head and went up to them.

His dad, 3ammi Fahad, his mom, 5alti 7e9a, and him.

I gave him a really big smile and shook his hand.

Our eyes were locked on each other for a few seconds but i looked away the minute i noticed.

They say that eyes never change, and that was true, because when i looked at his eyes, it was like looking at the 8 year old Faisal who was building lego houses with me.

" Life is like a book with many chapters we call seasons. Some chapters tell the story of love, drama, comedy, mystery, loss, adversity, growth, disappointment, triumph, etc. 
Some chapters are dull and ordinary, others intense and exciting. The key to enduring, persevering and being hopeful is to never stop on a difficult page, to never quit on a book or a chapter that seems too long. Some chapters may be sweet but too short. Your words, thoughts, actions, non-action and choices are the pens that write the pages in your book. 
Have the courage and faith to keep turning the pages believing better chapters lie ahead. God is the author and finisher of your life. Trust. Listen. Believe. Grow in God's word. Activate your gifts and talents. Be creative. Be kind. Be patient. Be faithful. Be grateful. Be fruitful."

Chapter 19

Majeed: "Ee kallamta .."

Me: "Ee oo esh gaaal ??

Majeed: "Ma gal shy"

Me: "Keif y3nyy ??"

Majeed: "Kallmta gltlla 'Nayef fi shy t3rfa ?' oo galli 'laa ma a3rf shy, bs fi shy tbi tgoola ?'"

Me: "Ee bs Majeed ymkn ma ybi ygollk enna ydri, ymkn ydri oo ga3d y5a6e6 enna ysawi shy ! Majeed you cant trust Nayef ! Y3ny you never know .."

Majeed interrupted: "3eedi a5er shy glti."

Me: "Esh glt ?"

Majeed: "I cant trust Nayef ?"

Me: "Y3ny mdree bs maybe.."

Majeed interrupted me again: "Hala tra e7na mb zaykm e4a shfta m3 25ti az3al oo ma akallma oo ahaddeda oo mdree esh !! Nayef 9deegi mn yoom e7na 9'3ar oo im not gonna stop trusting him 3shank ya Hala."

I was shocked. 

Did he really just say that ?

I hung up on him and i could feel a tear prickling down my cheek.

He called again bs ma raddet.

'E7na mb zayykm' ... 'Im not gonna stop trusting him 3shank ya Hala'

I remember what he said lamma gltla enna kant tshoof a5ooy;

'Wsh t7s 4eeeeee :s'

What was that ? i ignored all his calls and i even deleted him from bbm

Ok maybe that was too much but i didnt want him sending me messages i dont wanna know what he has to tell me.

Everything was getting complicated, the letter i found b drja, his cold answers, and now this ! 

Im just over all the drama ! 

Nazalt 3nd baba.

Me: "Ahleein baba"

Baba: "Ahlan 7beebti"

I felt my throat tightening and i was trying so hard to keep the tears from falling.

But its my dad akeed 7as enna fi shy

Baba: "Halool wsh fiik ??"

Me: "Wla.. wla shy baba" My voice was cracking

He hugged me and the tears came rushing down.

Me: "Baba ma knt adri enna bkoon el wa'63 k4a mani jahza baba ana lssa bl madrasa lssa 9'3eeeraaaaaa"

I complained for hours for my dad and he kept saying 3adi 7abeebti

Baba: "7beebti e4a ma tbi ngdr nwagf kl shy tra 3adi walla"

I looked up at him with my teary eyes and nodded.

It was over. Everything between me and Majeed was over.

And i wanted it to be over. Not because i dont love him, because i do i really do. But because im not ready.

Sometimes you get so many good chances in life, but you have to turn them down, maybe cause youre not ready, or you just dont have a good feeling about it. Whatever the reason is, i just learned not to dwell over it.  I know i know "carpe diem" "seize the moment" and everything. But sometimes you cant just jump to every chance you get, if youre not ready for it, dont do it. Just hope that one day youll get a better one.

I needed to get some things straight. Starting with Nora. So i called her.

Nora: "Alo."

Me: "Nora can we talk ?

Nora: "Talk."

Me: "La mn jd y3ny agdr ashoofk oo ntkallam mn jd ?"

Nora: "Leh?"

Me: "3shan we were best friends Nora."

Nora: "6yb wein tbi ?"

Me: "Tgdri tji beti ?"

30 minutes later she arrived.

It was the most awkward moment in my life, i didnt know whether i should hug or shake her hand or do anything.

So i just said ahla w sahla and we went up to my room

Nora: "3an esh knti tbi titkallami?"

Me: "Nora esma3i tra what you did wasnt a really nice thing"

Nora: "Ee adri and i apologized mlion mrra bs enti mb ra'6ya tsm3i"

Me: "Nora im sorry bs 76i nfsk mkani shwy !"

Nora: "6yb 7a6et"

Me: "Nora esma3i bs i was thinking enna mn jd we were close and we did so much for each other ! And i dont want a guy to ruin our friendship, even if that guy is my brother"

Nora hugged me and i hugged her back

Nora: "Walla i missed you so much and im so so sorry 3la kl elli saweta and im sorry enni i tried blackmailing you 3la 56btk..."

I looked away when she said that

Nora: "Wsh fiik ?"

Me: "Wla shy bs mani m56ooba"

Nora: "Keif y3ny manti m56ooba !! moo sm3t mn .."

I suddenly looked at her with serious eyes.

Me: "mn meeeen ?!"

Nora: "Mn 3anoud."

WHAAAAAAAAAATTT ?!?!?!

I got up and i started feeling sick

Is there no one i can trust anymore ?!

First Nora, then Majeed (ok i trusted him but still he hurt me), and now 3ANOUD ?!

Nora: "Sorry walla oo tra ma kan ga9dha !"

Me: "Keif b;7ab6 galatlk ?"

Nora: "Kallamt'ha 3shan as2alha 3nnk oo galatli 'she doesnt need you anymore 3ndha 56eebha Majeed'"

Omg i cant help feeling bad for Nayef.

Nora: "Anyway goolili wsh 9ar benk oo ben Majeed ? Sawalk shy ? Bs he seemed so perfect!"

Me: "He was but i just wasnt ready for all this, its too serious im too young."

Me and Nora kept talking for the rest of the night until it was midnight and we remembered that we had school tomorrow and she had to leave.

Me: "A9lan keif ahlk ma sa2alo 3annk ?"

Nora: "Msafreeeeen"

We giggled and hugged each other and she left.

It felt good having her back and i really hope that she does feel bad and wont do it again.

I keep repeating the quote "Fool me once shame on you fool me twice shame on me" in my head and keep hopinh that she wont fool me twice.

I wore my pjs brushed my teeth went to bed and started checking my bb, I noticed i had an invitation from Faisal. I was about to press ignore because i thought he was just a random guy, but i kept feeling that i knw this name.

No. No way it cant be him. After so many years ? No no it isnt.

But what if ? What if it is him ? Maybe he came back ? How did he get my pin ? So many questions were going through my brain. 

Accept or Decline ?

Accept. I mean what could i lose ?

My heart started  pounding when i opened recent updates and found his name.

I opened his profile and checked his dp. There he was. Faisal. My Faisal.

Faisal's family and mine were so close for so many years. And Faisal was like my brother, he was even closer to me than S3ood. Not that me and S3ood are close in any way. We were best friends for so many years. Then on my 13th birthday he told me he loved me, and i told him i loved him too. But we promised each other nothing between us would change, and it didnt we just added some hearts in our convos and when i saw him kan ygool "Esh el 7alawa ha4i" and stuff like that, but he was still the same Faisal i knew, my best friend.But a few weeks later everything went wrong, not between me and him, but between our families. Mama oo baba et6alago oo hma ra7o Jeddah. And i didnt talk to him ever since. But now he added me. 

Does this mean he's back in Riyadh ?

My thoughts were interrupted by a beep, i looked at my phone.

Faisal: "Haloolti<3"

I couldnt help but smile i missed him so damn much.

Me: "Fa9ooli <3"

I'm so sorry for dissapearing. xo

Chapter 18

What was she talking about ? How could she know about me and Majeed, no one knows.

I read the text again : "Esma3i tra i know everything. i tried talking to you today bs enti rf'6ti so you'll pay the price :)"

I texted her back  : "What's everything exactly ?"

Seconds later she texted : "Ennk m56ooba l majeeeeeeeed ;)"

Omg. How did she know ? i thought about all the possibilities then something came to my mind.

Nayef.

I quickly called Majeed and told him about nora's texts.

Me: "Majeed do you think it's nayef ?"

Majeed: "Y3ny enna nayef gllha ?"

Me: "Eee did you tell nayef about it?"

Majeed: "No bs ma astb3d enna mama galat l omma theyre close.."

Me: "Ya allah majeed 6yb what do you think Nora btsawi l7een ?"

Majeed: "La tfakkri b nora 7bbt ma btgdr tsawi shy"

Me: "6yb we4a galat l banat el madrasa ??"

Majeed: "Hala kllmiha fahmiha wa'63k"

Me: "6yb i will oo please majeed kallm nayef oo t2akkad mnna !"

Majeed: "I will 7bbt"

When Majeed hung up i called nora

Nora: "Ahhhh shoofo meen jaaa"

Me: "Nora tara this isnt a game you can play on me or a picture you can blackmail me with, this is my life"

Nora: "Laaa l7een tbi trja3i tkllmini b3d ma gltllk enni adri haaa ?"

Me: "T5aseen mabi akallmk abi afahmk enna ha4i mb l3ba !"

Nora: "Hm afakkr bye"

She hung up

I quickly thought about something.

London, summer, when i saw nora with s3ood ..

I took a picture. 

Yes i can use it !!!

I texted her the picture "Ymkn ha4a bsa3dk tfakreeen ? ;)"

She texted me "Ma tsawiha"

I replied "walla law tsawiha ana kaman asawiha leh la2 ? One tweet oo sm3tk fl bye byeeeee"

Nora: "Fine"

I cant believe it. Me and nora were bestfriends. And now were blackmailing each other ? After all i've done for her she stabs me in the back. 

I quickly wiped my tears and called majeed

Majeed: "Aloo ?"

Me: "Majeed kllmthaa"

Majeed: "Oo esh galatlk ??"

Me: "She wont do it"

Majeed: "Wallah! 7amdella esh gltlilha ??"

Omg do i tell him about the picture, or will he get the wrong idea about me ? : /

Me: "7awalt afahmha bs ma r'6at tfhm oo gafalt 3la wjhi..."

Majeed: "Ee ?"

Me: "So i found a picture of her oo 25ooy s3ood and i showed it to her oo she wont do anything"

Majeed: "Ahaa"

Me: "Majeed please la tfakr '3ala6 bs there was no other way !"

Majeed: "Laa 7bbt of course ma afham shy '3ala6 mnnk ! bs tfaja2t y3ny she was your bestfriend keif ma tr'6a ella bl '3a9b ? shy '3rreeeb.."

Me: "Eee bs 3adi have you !"

Me: "Me tooo .. ah 97! kllmt nayef ??"

Majeed: "Ee kallamta .."

Me: "Ee oo esh gaaal ??

At night right before i wanted to go to bed i got a message

Nora: "Esma3i tra i know everything. i tried talking to you today bs enti rf'6ti so you'll pay the price :)"

Chapter 16

"Dear Majeed,

Im gonna miss you, im gonna miss our long phone calls, our cheesy love letters, everything. Well this is just another love letter, but with a different ending. Im moving to qatar. i know a letter isnt the best way to tell you this but i cant build up the courage to tell you in person. You mightve been sure about engaging me, but im the one who wasnt. im sorry 3abdlMajeed, i love you.

Fa6oom"

A tear escaped my eye. 

Whos fa6oom ? was she the one for him but she broke his heart ? does he still love her ? did he start this whole thing with me to make it easier for him to get over her ? but why does he still have the letter ?

All those questions were running through my head, but my thoughts were interrupted by majeeds footsteps. I quickly put the letter back to where it was and acted normal.

Majeed: "Sorry t2a5art"

Me: "La dnt worry"

He came closer and held my face

Majeed: "Halool wsh feek ?"

Me: "Mafini shy mafini shy yalla 5al ninzl akeed baba wa9al"

He looked at me with a 'yeah right look'

Should i tell him i read the letter ? 

Majeed: "Hala ?"

Me: "Hmm ?"

Majeed: "Gooli"

Me: "Agool esh ?"

Majeed: "Gooli elli f balk"

I looked at him with my watery eyes

Me: "Meen fa6oom?"

His face changed, he suddenly turned serious and stood up

Majeed: "Keif 3arafti?"

Me: "Keif 3raft esh?"

Majeed: "Keif 3arafti 3an fa6ma?"

Me: "Ma a3rf shy 3nnha"

Majeed: "Hala please goolili keif 3rfti"

I looked at the drawer with a guilty look on my face

Majeed: "Ahaa you read it?"

Me: "Majeed walla im sorry ma kn g9di atlaggaf walla im sorry"

Tears were running down my face

Majeed came over and hugged me and kissed my forehead

I looked up at him with puppy dog eyes

Me: "6yb who is she?"

Majeed: "she WAS the girl i thought i loved"

Me: "6yb e4a ma t7bbha anymore leh lssa 3ndk the letter?"

Majeed let me go went over to the drawer and ripped the letter

I cant help but notice that he got a little mad

Me: "Majeed walla asfa walla"

Majeed: "dont worry hala ma sweti shy"

He held my hand oo nzalna ta7at

Does he still love her ? is that why he got mad fj2a ?

Sara: "Ahlein hala fik shy ?"

Me: "Sara la tfakri '3ala6 bs meen fa6ma?"

Me: "Oh.."

Sara: "Hala dont worry that was 4 years ago oo a9lan he never loved anyone the way he loves you 9addgini a3rf a5oooy zein"

I couldnt help but smile

---

After the conversation with Sara i went to Majeed, kan ga3d bl ml7g.

I hugged him so tight, at first he was a bit stiff, but then he got relaxed, i hugged him for what seemed like forever, until he pulled me back and looked into my eyes and said "I love you"

It sounded like a woman: "Zy ma gltlk 3aziz is MINE fahama wlla la2 ?! he's been mine mn 2 years, kan bs yl3ab m3aki, so la trja3i tkalmi BYE"

I felt the urge to tell her i told you so, but she looked so sad ! 

I went and hugged her 

Me: "he doesn't deserve you"

She looked at me with her puffy eyes.

Me: "Yalla t3ali lets go home"

Kallamt s3eed oo waddana el beit, ma kan fi a7ad.

We watched the notebook and sobbed, and ate, then 3anoud sobbed, then we ate and that went on for about 4 hours. I insisted ennha tnam 3ndi. I texted S3ood oo gltlla ynam 3nd 5awiya. He didn't even ask why.

"Nayoof 7abibi I'm waiting for you ! <3"

Wtfffffff ??!!! Nayoooof ?!!! what a b**** ! '3ert 3la nayef, not cause i love him, but cause he's like my brother ! 

My jaw dropped, and i looked over at majeed, he looked just as shocked.

Me: "m-m-ma gallak shy 3nha ?"

Majeed: "La walla ma galli .."

He looked disappointed, his best friend didn't tell him he had a gf !

I went over and hugged him

Majeed: "Leh ma ygolli ?"

i looked down at the phone to see the name, it said msh3al, bs when i opened the profile 76et reset; Masha3el AlFlania

Me: "T3rf wa7da esmha Masha3el AlFlania ?"

his eyes widened and his jaw dropped, I'm guessing he knows her

Majeed: "Mt2akkdaaa ??"

I looked at the phone again and nodded.

Me: "Meen hya majeed"

Majeed: "his cousin."

i wondered if she was also nora's cousin.

Me: "oh .. "

Majeed: "Lamma da5alna ma7al el jewelry 3shan ajblk the necklace," He smiled "Nayef was looking at rings"

Me: "Do you think he's serious y3ny ?"

Majeed: "Im guessing if he's looking at rings!"

I thought about Nayef getting engaged or married, w3 ma ynfa3la.

Nayefs phone beeped again we looked again

"Nayoofi wenkk why aren't you answering ? :( <3"

W3 w3 w3 w3 nayoofi ?!!! What does he call her sha3ooli ??

Majeed: "Mnnha?"

I nodded

Majeed: "Esh galat"

I handed him the phone.

Majeed sawa nafssa ystafr'3, i laughed haha hes so cute.

Me: "Majoooooooooooodi weeeeeenkkkkkkk ?"

He laughed and i joined in, i felt bad y3ny we were making fun of nayef bs walla ha4i msha3el bzyada titmel7 ! 

I looked at the clock, it was 2:30.

Me: "Majeed tb'3a anzl ajblk shay '3ada ?"

Majeed: "E4a enti tb'3i"

I was honestly SO hungry !

Me: "Ana ma 3ndi mane3, tb'3a ajblk pizza mn pizzeria harrods ?"

I put everything next to him, the remote his phone, nayefs phone, water, you name it !

I went down as fast as i can oo i waited in line bl pizzeria.

"HALA ????!! HALA ALFALNI ?!"

I looked back and saw my friend 3anoud, she's 19

Me: "3anoooouuud ! wa7ashtiiniii!!"

I hugged her

3anoud: "7tta enti ya 7mara ma knt adri ennk f london !"

3anoud used to live in riyadh but she moved to abu dhabi, we were still so close though, we Skype all the time.

Me: "Jeet mn 2sboo3 walla wenti mn mtaa ??"

3anoud used to always tell me about this guy she's so in love with and she's so sure she's gonna marry him bs a7s he's an ass, she met him in a concert

Me: " can't wait"

I took her number and got the pizza oo raja3t 3nd majeed

Majeed: "6awalti !"

Me: "Walla sorry bs shft 97bti ! bn6l3 nt3asha lyoom inshalla!"

He looked disappointed.

We ate the pizza, it was sooo yummy !!!

Nayef: "Wallla asf t2a5artt !"

We didn't say a word

Nayef: "Haw wsh feekm ??"

Majeed: "Nayef.."

Nayef: "La its ok walla ana kan lazm agollkm ha4i mb 6reega tiktshfoon fiha !"

I went up and hugged him he looked so sad.

Nayef: "Tra ana ma akallm ay a7ad, hya my cousin oo a3rfha zein, oo ana ma al3ab 3leha !"

I felt like crying i don't know why, maybe it was the way he was talking

I looked back at majeed kan y2ashr enna ta3al 

Nayef went over oo majeed whispered in his ear

"Nayoooofi leh ma tgllna 6ybb ?"

that really lightened up the mood we all started laughing including nayef !

Nayef: "Heeey la titma95ar 3la 7abeebti !"

Nayef: "Ee tra bgollkm shy"

We all looked at him

Nayef: "Tra ana mn sana akallmha,, oo hya shes 19, y3ny t5arrajat mn el madrasa.."

Me and Majeed: "Okkkkk ?"

Nayef: "I think enna ba56bha lamma nrj3 el riyadh"

Our jaws dropped.

He opened his mouth wanting to say something maybe explain himself bs i interrupted

Chapter 8

omg ! ok i was expecting it, but when it really happened ma 3rft ssh asawi.

I just froze.

And he just looked at me with those hopeful eyes, and that charming smile.

Ahhh what to doo ?!!

My face was heating up i could feel it.

Majeed: "Im not expecting you to answer, bs knt abiki t3rfeen"

I looked away.

He chuckled and took the straw from my hand. He tried drinking the soup out of it but he did the w3 face. I actually laughed

Majeed: "a333" and he laughed

I still didn't say a word.

He started stroking my face and playing with my hair. I knew i loved him too bs i didn't wanna tell him. or actually i didn't know how.

Majeed: "Halaa please i don't want things to be awkw.."

* i interrupted*

Me: "Ana kman Majeed"

I blushed 

Majeed: "Enti kman esh ?"

Me: "tdri esh" 

Majeed: "ee adri bs abi asmaaaa3" he was teasing me

I looked at his eyes.

Me: "ana kman a7bbk"

And looked away, but he pulled me back into his gaze.

I suddenly remembered something. I remembered how me and majeed were playing on the beach in jeddah, and he told me "halaa tara ana batzawajk lama akbar !!!!" And i used to say www3333333 la maabii !! 

But time changes everything, doesn't it ?

Omg what am i thinking about stop thinking about marrying him Hala stop !

Majeed interrupted my thoughts : "Hala ?"

Me: "Samm"

My phone rang, ufffff, it was nora, does she have to ruin everything ??!!!

I put my phone and silent and looked back at him. he had an annoyed look.

Majeed: "Hala can you be mine ?"

omg and i thought the confession was bad !!

what do i say noowww ?!

Me: "Majeed .."

Majeed: "La i understand walla"

I felt so bad for him. 

We forgot everything and were enjoying our time, he sang to me : 

A7bbk moot klma malha tafseer, oo lein lyoom mdree keif afasrhaa 

Ahhh a7b majed el mohandes, oo a7b Majeed, i could just listen to him sing all day.

About half an hour later, nayef came in. it was 12. 

Wait its midnight the bank closes so early I'm not sure when bs akeed not after 6 !!! Where was Nayef ??? I didn't even think about it when he left...

I didn't ask him anything ma knt abi a7rja.

Majeed: "Haaa wein el nas ???"

Nayef: "Msh'3ool knt walla asff"

Majeed: "La wsh d3wa"

Me: "Yalla ana brj3 el beit t3bt"

Majeed: "La 5alliki !"

Nayef: "Eee mafi nzla l7eeeen, nora ta7at moooo ?"

Omg i didn't even think about her. 

Majeed: "Leh wsh fiha nora ? hya elli m'6aygatk ??!!" 

He did a gesture as if trying to get up

I gently pushed him back, and assured him that it was nothing nayef doesn't know what he was talking about. 

I went back down, oo fta7t el bab, Nora and S3ood were watching tv. w3 ma kllamthm i went straight to my room. Nora l7gtni 

Nora: "hala plzz !!!!!!!"

Hala: "Na3am?"

Nora: "Hala please lets talk about it."

Hala: "talk"

Nora: "Hala walla sorry mn jd i wanted to tell u bs 9dg ma 3rft keif ago-"

Hala: "Save it for someone who cares Nora"

Nora: "Uf hala please try to understand !"

Hala: "Maybe if you didn't have that attitude i would"

Nora: "5ala9 y2st !!!!"

Oo she went out of the room, oo gafalat el bab wraha.

Omg i need a friend to talk about all the things that have been going on with me and Majeed. Bs nora out of the question. 

I was hurt, honestly. 

I called my dad 

Baba: "Haloolti kefk 7abeebti 3asaki 6aybaaa !"

Me: "Ee 7amdella tmam baba wenta shloonk ??"

Baba: "N7md allah 7beebti, golili shmsawya f london ?"

Me: "Wla shy walla shopping bs .."

Baba: "Wsh fii 9ootk t'3ayar ??"

Me: "Mafi shay baba bs w7shtni mrra ! Mta btiji ??"

Baba: "Greeb enshalla 7beebti ymkn 2sboo3 !"

Me: "Ah greeb ! Baba lamma tji bng3d b hotel 97 ??"

Baba: "Zy ma tbi 7beebti, bs 25ook mza3leeek ??"

Me: "La la baba bs mt3awda 3lek"

I went out to get some water, y3ny ma bamn3 nafsi mn el mooya 3shan nora oo s3ood ya54oon ra7at'hm !

Nora: "Tra barj3 b3d bokra"

Safaht'ha oo jbt mooya.

A tear fell, y3ny ok I'm pissed at her,, bs mdree ..... i felt so alone.....

I just slept and the next day i woke up and nazalt tmashet lw7di. again so alone.... 

I was shopping when i got a bbm.

3abdlMajeed: "Wenk ma zrtini lyoom ??:("

It was 1 PM

Me: "Nazalt atmasha shwy oo baji inshalla :*"

Is it too early to send kisses ?

Majeed: "Cant wait <3<3 <3 :*"

I guess not .... i don't know where we are exactly, i guess more than friends and less than lovers ? bs we know we like each other,, mdree its confusing !!!

Its so inappropriate to stay at his apartment all day, i won't be able to do that once baba is here, bs lama baba yji i don't think ill have time a9lan !

Bs i still went there.

I knocked, nayef opened the door.

Nayef: "Halooool !" and he hugged me 

hes so cute.

Me: "Haa wein ray7 ?" he had keys in his hands

Nayef: "3ndi kam shay lazm asawihm barj3lkm greeb !"

Oo he quickly left.. weird

I went it and hugged Majeed gently ( a friendly hug)

Majeed: "Esh el ree7a el 7lwa ha4i ?"

I blushed

Majeed: "Amooooot ana bl mst7ii"

We heard a phone vibrate on the table, it was nayef's i think.

I looked at majeed, he looked just as confused.

Majeed: "Jeebi"

Me: "La majeed 3eib!"

Majeed: "La la 3adi jeebi ymkn hoo ybi ygool enna nsa"

i gave it to him, he opened the phone, i was looking at his face as it began changing.

Me: "Majeed esh fii ?"

He showed me the message ..

Hala :

I have medium length dark brown hair (almost black). Im not so tanned, bs mani bee'6a, in the middle. My eyes are almond shaped ! My nose isnt so big, 3adi. wjhi 9'3eer. My cheeks are full. My teeth are perfect 7amdella. Im skinny bs i have some curves ! Akthar shy akraha b nafsi hwa my nose ! Oo akthr shy a7ba hwa my eyes! 

Nora :

She is gorgeous. She had long golden brown hair. She was tanned. She has wide black eyes. and a perfect nose. her lips aren't that big, bs they're perfectly drawn, and always painted with red lipstick, her signature look. She was really skinny, y3ny bzyada, she didn't have a lot of curves zyyi. She always smells like perfume her favorite is pink sugar. 

3abdlMajeed :

Where do i start ?? i find him perfect ! His hair is m7loog 3al 3 k4a, mrattab. He has the perfect tan. His jawline was strong and attractive. His nose doesn't have any bumps. His eyes weren't that big, bs mo mrra small, in between ! His teeth are white, and his lips are so perfect. His body is so muscular, six pack oo 7arakat. He didn't have dimples, bs that doesn't change anything <3

Nayef :

Hes as attractive as Majeed. His hair is a mohawk, simple one not crazy ! He was soooo tanned, much more than Majeed. His eyes are wide. He had a slight bump on his nose. He has a dimple that show when he does that sexy half smile !  His body was muscular as well, maybe him and Majeed work out together ! 

S3ood :

He doesn't have dimples, bs he has a nice smile. His body moo mrra muscular, 3adi. A lot of girls find him attractive, but not me.

Chapter 7

I was in shock. Everything suddenly made sense, like why she never said anything about Nayef, why her and s3ood were always together, she's probably the reason why s3ood is always home ha4i el ayam. But i never even thought about it, y3ny it never crossed my mind !

S3ood has his arm around Nora's waist, and Nora's arm around his. And they were staring at each other, the same way me and Majeed do. 

It struck me, s3ood and nora were together. I felt a tear running down my cheek.. Was it because my best friend didn't tell me that she was dating my brother ? Whatever it was, it hurt. I quickly wiped my tears and acted normal, they would be here any second.

When they came in they looked so normal as if nothing was going on, i felt sick. I mean i know enna many girls like s3ood, bs Nora ?! Ma twa8a3t 9ara7a ! I looked shocked I'm sure, because i was.

Nora: "Haa shfik shayfa jini ?"

Kan wddi a96rha kaf

i didn't answer.

Nora: "Hala wsh fik ?"

S3ood: "Halool fik shy ?"

It killed me, they acted as if mafi shy !!!!

Me: "ha ?? la mafi shy sar7ana bs"

They both looked at each other confused, and started taking out the food they got. Jabo burgers. Shakla yshahi bs i lost my appetite. You might think enni mkabbra el mw'6oo3, bs t5ayalo enna your best friend is dating your brother and she hides it from you ?!

I couldn't take it anymore.

Me: "Nora ta3ali shwy"

We went inside the room and i closed the door b3d ma t2akkatd enna s3ood isn't around.

Nora: "5eir 5arra3tini"

Me: "Nora leh ma gltili about enti w s3ood?"

Her eyes widened, i can tell she wasn't expecting it, oo ertabkt.

Nora: "Me and s3ood ? wsh g9dk ana oo s3oood y3ny ??"

Me: "Laa tsta'3bein nora shftkm tmshoon you were all over each other"

Nora: "L7een y3ny enna kan 7a6 his arm around me y3ny we were all over each other ??!!!"

En9adamt.

Nora: "Hala y3ny i wanted to tell u bs this wasn't the response i was expecting at all 7assetk btkooni more open minded about it ma twa8a3t mnk hal kalam !"

Me: "Ay kalam nora ?! i saw your arms around my brother and his arms around you !! My best friend and brother !! and they were both hiding it from me !! Oo mta m5a6i6a tgoolili ?! Lamma titzawajon oo tsawon fara7 ?!!!"

Nora: "uff mnnk hala !! you should support me you're my best friend !!"

Me: "if i were your best friend mn jd ma knti 5abeti shy zy k4a 3anni"

i felt a lump in my throat so gmt oo 6ala3t mn el beit oo ga3adt brra 3nd el bab, i overheard their conversation.

S3ood: " 7beebti wsh fiha halaa ?"

7beebti ? w33333

Nora: "ektashafat 3nnina"

S3ood: "6yb galbi 3adii"

Nora: "uff s3ood narfazatni"

I couldn't take it anymore i went down, and tears were running down my cheeks like waterfalls. It really hurt me that my best friend thought so little of me. And all those weird thoughts were running through my head. And i began to wonder whether she was only pretending to be my friend because she liked my brother. I also wondered how long this has been going on. I didn't know where to go, i was walking and found myself gddam sainsburys (the supermarket), da5alt oo ga3adt amshi jwa, i saw plasters and i immediately thought about Majeed. I thought it would be a good idea to get him some sweets and go visit him bl mstashfa, y3ny akeed akl el mstashfa mb zein. i got so many sweets, all kinds of chocolate and candy, since i didn't know what he liked, so jbt kl shy in case, i really wanted to see him smile.

I went out with a hopeful smile on my face. The weather was nice, fa 8arrart enni amshi lil mstashfa.

wa9alt b3d t8reeeban n9 sa3a, '63t shwy, bs ma t3abt bl 3aks erta7t shwy oo nset 3an mw'6oo3 s3ood oo nora. 6ala3t 3nd majeed. He still looked bad, but better.

Majeed: "Halaa ?"

Me: "Ee ahleein"

He smiled a very very sincere smile

Majeed: "A7la surprise"

I blushed. He looked at the akyas elli kant f yaddi, i lifted them b 7amas

Me: "jbtlk chocolate oo candy"

He laughed 

Majeed: "Thank you walla you didn't have to" 

I came closer and took out all that was in the bags, kn m3ay 3 akyas malyana sweets, and  76et'hm kllhm 3la el sreer.

Majeed: "Ya alla ya alla esh ha4a kllo ? its all for me ??"

He smiled again, like he had no worries.

Me: "6ab3an for you, i didn't know what you wanted so jbt kl shy !"

Majeed: "All i want is you"

i blushed: "I'm always gonna be here for you"

Majeed: "Then I'm always gonna be happy"

I went closer and kissed him on the cheek, I'm so sure i shouldn't have done that, bs it felt so right at the moment. he just looked so kissable

Majeed: "Alllaaah a7la boosa mn a7la bnt"

I blushed AGAIN.

Majeed: "Hala bgollk shy"

Me: "sure"

Majeed: "Ana mrra arta7 m3aki"

Knt mtwa83a confession for his love.

Me: "Ana kman walla"

Majeed: "Halool 3adi rgmk ? i wanna talk to you bs its hard for me to bbm" he pointed at his ribs

Me: "Umm .. uh.. ee akeed its ************"

Majeed: "expect a call very soon " he winked

He is not making this easy on me, i just love everything about him, everything. 

I suddenly remembered what i saw today; s3ood and nora, and i felt a tear.

I wiped it quickly i didn't want him seeing me cry

Too late

Majeed: "Hala feek shy ? glt shy ? walla sorry !!"

Me: "La la majeed im fine bs i think fi shy b 3eni"

He smiled but i could tell enna ma 9addagni, maybe e7taram enna i don't wanna talk about it.

Majeed: "ta3ali eg3edi jambi 5al nfta7 el tv shwy"

Me: "La la im fine walla mabi a'6ayg 3lek"

Majeed: "K4a enti m'6ayga 3lay 3shan a7ssk b3eeda, ta3ali"

I went oo ga3adt jamba

Majeed: "Hala ensed7i akeed ennk mb mrta7a k4aa!"

ensada7t jamba oo he put his arm around me, just like in the park. i didn't want anything to interrupt this moment, but my phone did.

Fj2a the nurse da5alat.

The nurse: "Mr. AlFlan we have some news for you"

I got up. inshala 5eir i thought...

The nurse: "Mr Wellington woke up from the coma"

We both smiled and laughed a laugh of relief. He was really worried about that man. I hugged him, but carefully i didn't wanna hurt him, he hugged me back.

The nurse: "We have other news as well"

We both looked back at her 

The nurse: "The doctor is allowing you and your friend to go back home today"

We smiled again.

Me: "When can we go back ?"

The nurse: "you can go out as soon as the doctor writes the prescription for Mr. AlFlan"

And she left.

Me: "Yalla baratblk ashya2k oo bnrj3 el beit"

Nayef: "Haloooooool!!"

Me: "Hala nayef ! kefk ?"

Nayef: "Tmam b3d shooftk"

I blushed, why do these 2 people make me blush ?? But i count nayef as my brother, my real brother. mb zy 4l 5ayn elli esma s3ood. i know i just met nayef a few days ago, but we grew so close, i mean we were talking to each other for 6 hours non-stop on that flight !

Me: "baratblk ashya2k 3shan nrj3 el beit"

Nayef got up and stopped me

Nayef: "Ma btsawi shy"

Me: "ella bsawi "

He started pushing me and joking around with me not letting me pack his things, we laughed, and then i actually did pack his things ma bsm3 kalama! 

Nayef: "i love you sis"

Me: "i love you too bro"

Nayef: "97 wen nora ?"

I looked away

Nayef: "wsh msawyatlk ????????"

Me: "wla shy"

Nayef: "Hala la t5abeen !!!"

i looked at him with pain in my eyes. i was trying so hard to keep my tears from running down

Nayef hugged me and said : walla lawariha 4l kalba

i actually let out a laugh. 

Me and Nayef went back to Majeed and we helped him get on his wheelchair, we visited Mr. Wellington, Majeed kan shkla mrra y7azzen, mn jd he felt bad. There was an old woman with him, i expected her to be his mom, since he didn't look that old.

Majeed: "Mrs. Wellington i cannot express how sorry i am" he said that in the most sincere tone.

Mrs Wellington: "Its fine dear boy, my son is okay now, we know you didn't mean it."

Mr Wellington smiled. Sallamna 3alehm, oo majeed said sorry, 10 more times.

Rj3na el beit

Me: "Welcome homeeee !!!!"

They both smiled and said thank you !

Nayef said he had to go to the bank to get some things settled, so it was just me and Majeed again.

He was on the couch, watching tv.

Me: "Majeed joo3an tbi shy?"

Majeed: "La walla I'm fine"

Me: "i know just the thing"

Majeed: "la ta3bi nafsk hala"

Me: "mafi ta3ab walla"

i made him chicken soup, the classic ! I'm not chef ramzi wlla jamie oliver bs i can make a decent soup.

I went back with the soup in my hand.

Majeed frowned.

Majeed: "Ta3abti nafsk"

Me: "La ma ta3abt nafsi a7b a6b5 !"

i gave him the soup, it was so hard for him to drink it.

Me: "Dgeega bajeeb shy"

I went to the kitchen and came back with a straw

Majeed laughed so hard and so did i 

Majeed: "y3ny tbeeni ashrb bl straw ???"

I blushed

Majeed: "Ta3ali jeebi 6yb"

I went close and gave it to him but he held my hand and pushed me closer to him.

i was no nervous, i could feel his breath touch my skin. His arm was gripped so tight on mine.

He whispered in my ears 

"a7bbk hala"
