We had dinner and we caught up on everything between university, our weddings, pregnancy and where we went on our honeymoons to pretty much what we did last week. It went better than expected. After they paid the check we got up said our goodbyes and left. As I picked up my purse and turned around to walk after my husband I felt a pair of eyes burning a hole at the back of my head. I turned around and just as I expected M7amad was looking at me with those eyes of his.. those eyes thought held in so many memories and so much pain and regret. I gave him a weak smile as I kissed Jawa bye.
In the car
Khalid: wallah khoush 3asha ha?
Fatima: mmm
Khalid: shfeech 7abeebty 9ar7ana eb shinu?
Fatima: Hmm?
I turned to look at him as I snapped out of a day dream
Fatima: la 7abeeby mu 9ar7ana bes ga3da afker
Khalid: tfakreen eb shinu?
He took one hand off the steering wheel and laid it on mine, causing me to flinch unexpectedly.
Fatima: afaker eb 7amood..

Khalid: shfee 7amood?el khadama ma3a enshallah mafee shay w nayem al7een tabeen etdigeen tshoufeen shlona?
Fatima: La 3ady enshallah ma fee shay w nayem akeed
I looked at my watch 10:30 yea he was asleep for sure.

Fatimas POV

Khalid: 9ba7 el khair Fa6ooma
He walked in holding a tray with breakfast on it.
Fatima: 9ba7 elnour 7abeeby
I sat up straight leaning my back on the headboard of the bed.
Khalid: sawaitlich ryoug
Fatima: 7ayate enta mashkour, wain aklik ma taby takil ma3ay?
Khalid: maby akil aby a6al3ich wentay takleen hatha ely aby
I couldn't help blushing so I smiled and put my head down. He came closer to me and placed the tray on the bed then gave me a light kiss. I moved over to make space for him next to me and I grabbed a hair band to tie my hair up.
I picked up the fork to start eating as I was about to put the food in my mouth I noticed him smiling.
Fatima: shfeek?
Khalid: ma feeny shay
Fatima: magdar akil wenta ga3d et6ali3ny; I said shyly
Khalid: Ya 7alat ely yst7oun
His smile got wider and so did mine..
FLASHBACK
M7amad: miskay eedy
Fatima: asti7y
M7amad: afa...teste7een mny?
Fatima: ee!
I smiled at him I couldn't hide my smile he's the only one who made me feel this way
M7amad grabbed my hand and our hands fit together perfectly...it felt so perfect.
BACK TO REALITY
Fatima: ya 7alat ely ysawounly ryoug
I blew him a kiss then continued to eat my breakfast
After afew minutes he laid down next to me and looked up at the ceiling
Khalid: fa6oom
Fatima: hala
Khalid: tabeen ensafer?
Fatima: ensafer? wain enrou7?
Khalid: ay mukan tabeen trou7enla

Khalid: oh..khala9 3ayal..
Fatima: bes etha taby enrou7 ma3indy mani3
Khalid: la khal9 dam mu wagta enrou7 bl wagt el munasib
I think he was hurt because after that he got up and left the room..
Suddenly I heard my phone ring, it was Jawa she called to see if I wanted to come over to her house tonight.
Ghareeba.. laish kela tabeena enshouf ba3ath? we're not in highschool anymore ya3ne mu fashla arou7 bait'ha w rayelha mnak? 3umoman gelt laha lazem akalim Khalid w agoulaha
I got up from bed and took the tray to the kitchen then went to talk to Khalid.
Fatima: Khalood...
Khalid: na3am
Fatima: barou7 bait Jawa mumken?
Khalid: akeed mumken tabeeny awadeech?
Fatima: La 3ady ana awady nafsy
Khalid: ok...
Hm..he was upset I could tell but I was too excited about tonight to let it get to me, I'm so selfish when it came to M7amad I hated it.
That night I got ready to go to Jawas' house, I changed and went downstairs to leave
Fatima: Khalid ana 6al3a..
Khalid: deerbalich 3ala nafsich
He got up from the couch and opened the door for me. When I got to Jawas house I called her tot ell her I was outside.
Jawa: al7een aba6ilich el bab
Fatima: okayy
I felt nervous..what if he was there? what will I do? How will I act..? is this wrong?
Just then the door opened I looked up to see who opened the door..
M7amad: Hala wallah Fatima
I was speechless..

Back to reality
Khalid: Fa6oom?
I snapped back to reality and realized I was staring into space, 3 pairs of eye were looking back at me, Jawa, Khalid and M7amad's.
Fatima: h-h-haa? asfa..
Khalid: la 3ady 7abeebty feech shay? ta3bana? tabeen enrid el bait?
Fatima: la la 3ady mafeene shay
I looked back at M7amad who was still staring at me..we haden't finished out conversation but because I began to day dream his wife pulled him away and he was back in his seat.
Khalid: etha 7asaitay enich ta3bana gouleey 7ayate enrid el bait 3ala 6oul wla enrou7 el mustashfa
I loved how caring and sweet Khalid was...I loved it so much and I knew I was so lucky to have a guy like him, a guy any girl would die to have but yet something wasn't enough! el 3aib ma kan fee el 3aib feeny ana...3a6any galba laken ana galby ma3a wa7d thany...
I looked back at m7amad and he gave me a weak helpless smile..
I missed him.
When we got home I collapesed in my bed after putting baby 7amoody in his crib. Khalid left to go to the dewaneya with his friends.

Jawa: ahlaaan
I looked at my phone with pure jealousy.
Fatima: ahlain, mnu?

That night when Khalid came home I told him about the plans Jawa and M7amad made and he thought it was a a great idea.

Fatima: Mashkour 7abeeby
I sent a message to Jawa telling her khalid wafa8, she was so happy... And so was I, I think?
The night of the dinner with Jawa and m7amad I spent the whole day tryin on clothes and I made a huge mess in the room. Luckily Khalid was out all day so by the time he came home I had cleaned everything. I felt knots in my stomach and butterflies. I couldn't contain my excitement...or was it worry? I couldn't tell the difference.
After we both got ready we left 7amoody with the maid and then me and Khalid left to meet Jawa and M7amad.
At the Resturaunt
I walked in behind Khalid and I could see Jawa and M7amad sitting at a table at the outside tables at the far end of the resturaunt the waiter showed us our way to the table and then left. When we got there M7amad and Jawa both got up. I could feel the tension between me and m7amad his eyes were burning a hole in my heart...it took me back to the day we first went to dinner.
Flash back:
Fatima: 7amood! wain betwadeeny?
I asked with my eyes blinded by a blind fold he had tied around my head.
M7amad: Entay bes ne6ray yah! mafeech 9aber
He laughed at how unpatient I was
Fatima:; yallah we9alna?
M7amad: LA2 ya bent el 7alal bagoulich etha we9alna khalech sakta lama agoulich zain?
Fatima: zaaaainn hfff
M7amad: mu chna giltlich khalech sakta? ya rabe sa3edny 3ala hal bent kila t3aned
He made fun of me in a joking way
I began to giggle
after walking a few more meters we finally came to a stop.
M7amad: yallah take the blindfolds off
I took them off and opened my eyes...what I saw took my breath away.
There was the most beautiful candle lit dinner on the ground, there were around 20 small candles all lit ( 7imdellah ma 9arat 7areeja ) there was a carpet and music. It was right next to el ba7ar where no one could see us.
M7amad: ha shrayech?
Fatima: .....
M7amad: ma 3jibach?
Fatima: 7amood! this is so sweet! madry shagoulik umbaih I love you wallah I do
M7amad: mu kithrey ya ba3ad galby wallah mu kithrey
I gave him the tightest hug ever and I felt like the tears would spill from my eyes at any second.
I loved him, I loved this I loved my life.
Back to reality:
Jawa leaned in to kiss my cheeks
Jawa: shlonich
Fatima: bkhair 7imdellah wentay?
Jawa: 7imdellah
I turned to M7amad who was still eying me from the side.
M7amad: Salam
Fatima: wa3alikum el salam
M7amad: yallah khal anady el waiter 3ashan eyeblkum menu
He waved at the waiter and asked for 2 menus
M7amad and Khalid hit it off, they began talking while me and Jawa caught up.
When the menus were given to us M7amad said:

Boy was this going to be a long night....
Saba and Fawaz: 7
Fawaz: "I cant talk right now"
This wasnt like him...shfee mu 6ab3a yadgirne aw ya36eeny 6af aw 7ata ena ya7gerny...3umra ma sawaha feeny....shfee? I felt my heart beating faster as the seconds went by.
Something was definitely wrong with him
....
Saba: "la tkhari3ny Fawaz shfeek..?"
I waited 2 hours for a reply and when I got it it wasnt what I expected..
Fawaz: "It's a long story and I can't say it over the phone what do you want me to do?"
I was so worried about him I didn't think about what I said next
Saba: "meet me somewhere and tell me then!"
Fawaz: "are you crazy?"
Saba: "what do you want me to say? lets forget it mathalan?? la2 Fawaz enta feek shay o awal mara ashoufik eb hal 7ala.."
Fawaz: "shlon we meet up waint enrou7? la Saba ana asif el 6areeqa el wa7eeda ehya ena tro7en bait Murooj w akalmich mnak..?
Saba: "tonight at her house be there at 7 I'll tell her I need to study and you go to the dewaneya okay?"
Fawaz: "ok"
Saba: "Fawaz..whatever it is it's going to be okay I'm here for you.."
Fawaz: ";*"
I felt so bad seeing him like this! I called Murooj and asked her if I could come over for a study session she said okay. When it was finally 7 I was already standing outside her house waiting to go in. I pushed the big gates open and walked up the steps, the door was open and I walked straight into the living room.
Khalty Nora (Muroojs mom): Hala wala 7abeebty shlonich?
Saba: El7emdellah zaina entay shlonich kahlty?
We made small talk until Murooj came downstairs
Khalty Nora: 7abaybee ana ba6la3 barou7 el jam3eya taboun shay?
Murooj: Salamtich mama
Then Khalty left and we opened our books and sat on the ground to start studying, 15 minutes passed and I didn't get anything from Fawaz. I began to wonder why he was late.
"Salaaam"
I heard a guy say
Murooj: mnu hatha?
Murooj looked at me confused, but I knew...I knew exactly who that was.
Fawaz.
Saba: chna Fawaz
Murooj: lets go see
We went to see who it was and just like I thought it was Fawaz. "Hala" He said looking at Murooj then me. "Hala feek" we both said at the same time. 'Wain 3abood?" He broke eye contact and walked in the house.
Murooj: foug eb ghurfita bes dgeega al7een anadee
Fawaz: Mashkoura
Murooj: shda3wa
she gave him a wink..ehm jad shfeehum rfeejaty? ma 3araft'hum eb9ara7a awal mara ashouf Murooj tsawy hal 7araka
We both stood silently as Murooj took the elevator upstairs. As soon as she was out of sight I turned to him.
Saba: so?
Fawaz: so...
Saba: Fawaz! lat9eer chthe 3ad goulee shfeek?

I walked away from the guys and went but to "study" after we finished studying I called the driver and told him to pick me up.When I got home I put away my books and got my bag ready for school the next day.
I took my phone out I was worried about Fawaz and I haden't hear anything from him since I got home.
Saba: "hey.."
Fawaz: "hi"
Saba: " what are you thinking about?"
Fawaz: "a lot of things..."
Saba: "talk to me about it mu zain tkhaly kil shay eb galbik...what are friends for?"
Fawaz: "Saba I appreciate you being here for me but it's not the best time for me to talk right now.. akalmich when I'm ready okay?"
A7...I felt like I was slapped in the face but I couldn't blame him.
Saba: "3ala ra7tik.. talk to me when you're ready x"
Fawaz: "thanks"
Then he went offline.
I kept myself distracted by watching tv and making myself something to eat, but at the back of my mind I knew I was worried about Fawaz.
FAWAZ'S POV

I stood up walked to my moms room, after i stopped by and checked up on her i saw how tired she looked and how drained of energy she was. It broke my heart and I felt like my whole world was crashing down.. she's my mom ehya el ghalya ele mako mithlha ele elkel yitmana tkon uma 7athe 7abeebty umy el3azeeza shlon a3esh bdonha? I quickly pushed those horrible thoughts aside and took a hot shower to relax.
I pulled out my phone and opened whatsapp, I clicked on Saba's chat and saw her last seen 10:33pm
the last thing I said to her was "thanks" i felt bad how i was pushing her away but im not ready to talk to her about his yet..
allah yashfe umy..
I fell asleep after praying.
SABAS POV:
Its been 2 weeks since I last spoke to Fawaz, I tried but after trying to talk to him and being let down over and over I decided to really give him space. It was hard sleeping and waking up with him on my mind all the time but not feeling like I was on his..
Mom: Saba entay lail7en nayma?! GOUMAYY!
I jumped put of bed it was 5 and I still hadn't gone to the Salon today was Hessa's wedding!
Saba: umbaihhh mama! tawne agouuuum laish ma ga3adteeny lama re7tay?
Mom: w ana shdarany 3anich ams gilt tabeen tyeen weyay gelt la2 barou7 brou7y!
Saba: umbaih umbaihhhh lazem arou7 al7een!
I wore leggings and a hoodie then ran out the house and called the driver to meet me at the car
Saba: go to salon
Driver: okay
We reached the salon and I got my hair and nails done on time now all I had to do was my make up at home and change. I got home at 6:30 and was ready by 7:10
Saba: mama jahza?
Mom: ee bes taw el nas ne6la3 7:30
Saba: okay
I went to my room and distracted myself for the next 20 minutes. Finally it was time to leave and we went to the findiq where the wedding was at. It wasnt in a very HUGE hall like al rayya or regency bs kan 7ada 3ajeeb o bl reception of the findiq kan fee 7areem w ryayeel lana haithala ely they spend the night or are waiting to go to the wedding. Mostly guys smoking.
I had my 3abaya on and was covering my face like my mom always told me to do whenever I was all dressed up and face full of make up. seeing all these guys made me think of Fawaz...where was he o shda3wa ma ykalmne sbou3ain..:(
suddenly i felt my phone vibrate

Fawaz: LOL! ahh al7een 9ertay tshofena? ;p
Saba: lol ee al7en 9ert ashoufa
Fawaz: i missed you ;p
I couldn't believe he said that, it's like all the sadness he caused me the past 2 weeks disappeared
Saba: me too
Fawaz: wallah seeing you made me so happy and it made me smile look at me i cant stop smiling!! :s
Saba: enshallah doum hal smile
I looked at him and he was typing when suddenly a guy comes up to him and whispers something in his ear. He dropped his phone and the smile on his face quickly disappeared. The guy walked away and Fawaz followed
"last seen 8:29 pm"
Saba: shfeek, sh9ayer??
I waited 5 minutes for a reply but he hadn't gotten on whatsapp since then. I decided to go into the 9ala since my mom would start wondering where I was now..Just as I was about to walk in i heard a woman shout
"degaw 3al es3aaf!"
This wasnt like him...shfee mu 6ab3a yadgirne aw ya36eeny 6af aw 7ata ena ya7gerny...3umra ma sawaha feeny....shfee? I felt my heart beating faster as the seconds went by.
Something was definitely wrong with him
....
Saba: "la tkhari3ny Fawaz shfeek..?"
I waited 2 hours for a reply and when I got it it wasnt what I expected..
Fawaz: "It's a long story and I can't say it over the phone what do you want me to do?"
I was so worried about him I didn't think about what I said next
Saba: "meet me somewhere and tell me then!"
Fawaz: "are you crazy?"
Saba: "what do you want me to say? lets forget it mathalan?? la2 Fawaz enta feek shay o awal mara ashoufik eb hal 7ala.."
Fawaz: "shlon we meet up waint enrou7? la Saba ana asif el 6areeqa el wa7eeda ehya ena tro7en bait Murooj w akalmich mnak..?
Saba: "tonight at her house be there at 7 I'll tell her I need to study and you go to the dewaneya okay?"
Fawaz: "ok"
Saba: "Fawaz..whatever it is it's going to be okay I'm here for you.."
Fawaz: ";*"
I felt so bad seeing him like this! I called Murooj and asked her if I could come over for a study session she said okay. When it was finally 7 I was already standing outside her house waiting to go in. I pushed the big gates open and walked up the steps, the door was open and I walked straight into the living room.
Khalty Nora (Muroojs mom): Hala wala 7abeebty shlonich?
Saba: El7emdellah zaina entay shlonich kahlty?
We made small talk until Murooj came downstairs
Khalty Nora: 7abaybee ana ba6la3 barou7 el jam3eya taboun shay?
Murooj: Salamtich mama
Then Khalty left and we opened our books and sat on the ground to start studying, 15 minutes passed and I didn't get anything from Fawaz. I began to wonder why he was late.
"Salaaam"
I heard a guy say
Murooj: mnu hatha?
Murooj looked at me confused, but I knew...I knew exactly who that was.
Fawaz.
Saba: chna Fawaz
Murooj: lets go see
We went to see who it was and just like I thought it was Fawaz. "Hala" He said looking at Murooj then me. "Hala feek" we both said at the same time. 'Wain 3abood?" He broke eye contact and walked in the house.
Murooj: foug eb ghurfita bes dgeega al7een anadee
Fawaz: Mashkoura
Murooj: shda3wa
she gave him a wink..ehm jad shfeehum rfeejaty? ma 3araft'hum eb9ara7a awal mara ashouf Murooj tsawy hal 7araka
We both stood silently as Murooj took the elevator upstairs. As soon as she was out of sight I turned to him.
Saba: so?
Fawaz: so...

nothing like the first chapter 1
Fatima: Khalood 7abeeby yallah malait w ana an6er el mafrouth ana ely a2akhrk mu enta!
Fatima opened the house doors and walked outside into the warm summer weather, the hot kuwait sun burning her perfectly tanned skin. She pulled out the keys to her range and turned on the AC to cool the car before khalid met her at the car.
Fatima: umbaih nesait!
Fatima slapped her forhead and ran back into the house, she forgot something important. She walked over to the living room and picked up her baby "m7amad" then went out back to her car. This time khalid was in the drivers seat waiting for her.
Khalid: haa? mnu wi9al awal? :p
Khalid smiled at his beautiful young wife blinding her with his gorgeous smile and bright half kuwaiti half american hazel colored eyes.
Fatima: asfa nesait 7amoody dakhl!
Khalid: enta lahya mukhich waina ya 7ilwa?
she giggled and he put his hands on her chin and stared straight into her eyes for a moment..
Fatima broke the silence and ended the moment.
Fatima: yallah enrou7?
Khalid: seat belt?
Fatima: already on
Khalid: du3a2 elrkoub?
Fatima: al7een agoula
Khalid started the car and got going, they were on their way to have breakfast at the avenues it was babay 7amoodys first time out the house since he was born, minus the doctor visits.
Fatima was 22 and Khalid was 26, he had a lot of money o ma kan emga9er ma3aha. kil ely taby fatima sharalha ya o wla mara galaha la2. He treated her like a queen even though theyve been married for only a year and a half.
when they finally reached the avenues Khalid took out the baby stroller and set it up then put baby 7amoody inside. Once everything was done fatima took the stroller and pushed it.
Khalid: Fa6oom..?
Fatima: hmm?
Khalid: shoufay el8uraf eb potterybarn kids ma wedich yekbar 7amood w ensawy 8urfita chthe?
Fatima: Eee wedy
Khalid: shfeech 7abeebty?
Fatima looked straight ahead, she never really cared for khalid. Yes true she married him and had a baby with him but...it just wasnt enough for her he didnt excite her. He was drop dead gorgeous and girls would stare at him when he walked by he was smart and funny and rich but it still didnt live up to her standards.
Khalid: fatima...?
Fatima: ma feeny shay 7abeeby wallah
Khalid: okay, tabeen endish ma7al eb kha6rich shay teshtereena 7ayaty?
Fatima: la 7abeeby etha fee shay bagoulik
Khalid: okay
They remained silent until they got to the restaurant.
When they reached the place they took their seats and started looking through the menu when suddenly the waiter comes up and tells them something.
Waiter: ma'am, sir would you mind if push your table to the side there is a couple and a child who want to sit and this is the only available area
Khalid: sure
just then I heard a voice speak
"Jawa meskay fa6oom ana ayeeb el3arabana 3end 6awlatna"
my eyes stayed on my menu not daring to look away, fearing what I might see.
after the waiter pushed some tables and moved a couple chairs I saw the shadow of a man and a woman holding a baby sit on the table across us. The man's face was facing me and the womans face wasnt.
Fatimas eyes wandered over to the man who's voice sounded familiar, she looked him in the eyes and dropped the menu. The shocked look on her face made Khalid turn around and the same went for the woman holding the baby sitting across from the man.
Jawa: Fatima?!
Fatima: Jawa!???
Jawa was one of Fatima's friends from highschool, she lost touch with after they graduated and went their seperate ways..
Fatima: jawa shga3da tsaween? m-mnu....mnu hatha?
she looked at the man knowing exactly who this was..she knew his name, she knew how many brothers and sisters he had, she know where he lived, she knew his favorite color, his favorite singer, she knew why he had a scar or his left thumb she knew what made him happy she knew what made him cry...she knew him...
Jawa: hatha zojy m7amad, w im guessing hatha zojich?
She looked at khalid and smiled at the both of them then at the baby sitting next to fatima in the stroller.
M7amad (Jawa's husband) got up from his seat 3ashan ysalim 3ala khalid his hands were shaking and his eyes wouldnt stop staring at Fatima.
M7amad: hala
Fatima: hala feek, shlonik?
M7amad: 7imdellah wentay?
Fatima: ebkhair
M7amad: mnu hatha el 7ilo?
He pointed at Fatimas baby
Fatima: hatha weldy..
M7amad: shisma?
Fatima: esma m7amad..
He looked into Fatimas eyes and said "allah yal denyaa..."
Luckily Khalid and Jawa were talking and hadn't paid any attention to them.
Fatima: w hathy mnu?
She pointed at the baby M7amads wife was holding.
M7amad: hathy benty
Fatima: shesemha?
M7amad: esemha fa6oom.
Fatima opened the house doors and walked outside into the warm summer weather, the hot kuwait sun burning her perfectly tanned skin. She pulled out the keys to her range and turned on the AC to cool the car before khalid met her at the car.

Umbaih laish qa9b lazem agoula ;s
Saba: "bes 9arat meshkila weya rfeejty"
Fawaz: "let me guess what happened ok?"
Saba: "okay"
Fawaz: "she got you normal coke bdal diet 9a7? ;p"
Saba: "chubb la2! LOL :p"
Fawaz: "ha 3ayal? sh9ar :p"
Saba:"mm...akhaf agoul takhith 3any fikra mu zaina.."
Fawaz: "afaa...3anich entay? la abad ana cham sina 9arly a3arfich"
Saba: "bes t3arifny bl esim ma t3arifny 3adil fa yemken :s"
Fawaz: "la kil ely asma3a 3anich mn ekhty enich khoush wa7da"
Saba: "hmm okay bagoulik"
I told Fawaz about everything that happened that night from how Ghalia tricked me to how I stormed out of the cinema by myself. Surprisingly he was really angry but I didn't understand why he was mad I mean... its not like he was my...boyfriend or brother. We talked for what seemed like hours but not just "hours" one of the best hours.
Fawaz: "promise me something"
Saba: "okayy?"
Fawaz: "if anything like this happens again you will call or atleast message me"
Saba: "enshallah thank youu"
Fawaz: "ma baina"
Saba: "I have to go to sleep now waray dawam o 7ady ta3bana mn kil ely 9ar elyoum fa 3an ethnek t9ba7 3ala khair"
Fawaz: "oulla 6a3ay elsa3a cham its 12:30 9arlina taghreeban 3 sa3at netkalam, yallah 3ayal maby a6awil 3alaich ana ba3ad banam wentay mn ahala. goodnight and sweetdreams"
Saba: "you too xx"
I put an alarm for school and connected my phone on its' charger then went to sleep.
The next few days I ignored Ghalia at school and from then on our friendship ended, I didn't want to see or hear from her I couldn't trust anyone who would do such a thing to me. Me and Fawaz would talk ever night for up to 3 hours sometimes it was a nightly routine and day by day I fell for him more and more...
Saba: "Fawazzzz!"
Saba: "wake up! I have great news! bser3a goum mn el noum!"
Saba: "WAKE UP!"
I threw my phone on my bed and ran to my moms room in full speed holding the paper in my hand.
I knocked on the door twice then barged in.
Mom: bismellah shfeech chthy etdisheen la salam la shay wagaftay galby
Saba: mama mamaaaa shoufay shoufayy!!
Mom: shinu hatha??
Saba: enqibalt eb gust bi3tha!
Mom: 9ij?? mabrook 7abeebty allaahh ywafgich! digay 3ala obouch gouleela 7ail byestanis!"

I called my dad and told him the great news, barakly o galy byeebly mufaja2a 7ilwa.

Saba & Fawaz: 5
Fawaz: have fun bl zwara
Saba: thanks
I closed my phone and we were off to zwara..
***
The next day was saturday and I woke up at around 11:30
I checked my phone and found 1 message
Ghalia: "Sabouy movie elyoum 360 at 6:30 ou dinner at b+f okay?"
Saba: "Gm okay as2al umy wagoulich mnu byee?"
Ghalia: "bes ana weyaach"
Saba: "ou Murooj?"
Ghalia: "la2 latgoleenlaha abe a6la3 weyaach entay bes"

Saba: "laish?"
Ghalia: "bes we need me and you quality time! :p"
Saba: "akhaf tiz3al etha darat"
Ghalia: "latgoleenlaha shlon btadry"
Saba: "okay but if she finds out maly shighel ga3da agoulich mn al7een btez3al"
Ghalia: "okay lol"
Saba: "see ya"
Ghalia: " see youu x"
I went downstairs to have some breakfast, I slipped on my slippers because it was so cold and went downstairs.
Dad: 9aba7 el khair
Saba: 9aba7 el nour
I kissed my dad on his head and went to get me some cornflakes
Dad: ha darastay 7ag emte7anatich?
Saba: Ee el7emdellah yuba 3ady a6la3 weya Ghalia elyoum?

Dad: el 3afu
after I finished having breakfast I went to tell Ghalia that my dad agreed about tonight except that I cant have dinner since the movie will finish at 8:30 and I had to be home by 9:00
Ghalia: "okay 3ady skip dinner, bes movie o nakil bl cinema"
Saba: "okay :D"
At 6 I got ready to go out I wore black skinny jeans and a blue long sleeved shirt under a furry black vest and gold flats along with my black Chanel purse. I applied some black eyeliner and blue eyeliner I added some light lipstick and some bronzer and I was ready to go by 6:10.
Saba: yallah baba ana 6al3a
Dad: take care 7abeebty
Saba: Enshallah
Ghalia was waiting for me outside my house in the car (her driver brought her since she cant drive either)
Ghalia: heeyy!
We hugged and I got into the car.
Ghalia told the driver "go to 360 fast we have a movie 6:30 bser3a"
Saba: you look gorgeous today laish kil hal kashkha 7ag shinu :p
Ghalia: waiii cant a girl dress up for once without anyone saying anything!
Saba: hahaaa! zain zain waih kalaiteeny ma gelt shay
Ghalia was wearing a tight black dress with a scarf over it and the dress reached just above her knee, she had bright pink flats and silver accessories and had her hair up in a cute bun.
Saba: shinu el movie?
Ghalia: filim hindi :p
Saba: waih tadreen eny ma7ib aflam hindeya! they are like 3 hours long o lazem ared el bait by 9!
Ghalia: umbaih sorry nesait! we can just leave before the movie ends 3ady
Saba: okayy
We got to 360 exactly on time.
Saba: Ghalia...
Ghalia: hmm
she was looking around frantically I didnt know what she was looking for she looked like she ahd lost something
Saba: shfeech?
Ghalia: mm wla shay entay shfeech?
Saba: shfeehum hathaila ga3deen yl7igouna? la7athtay?
Ghalia turned around and looked at the 2 guys who were following us mn awal ma wi9alna 360 laih el cinema.
Ghalia: yallah khandish el filim byabde
I looked at Ghalia confused, why did she totally ignore my question about the guys?
Saba: okay....yallah
We went in and the 2 guys kept following! we got to our seats which were at the back of the theater at the very right corner above the stairs.
Saba: umbaih hatha dasheen ma3ana el filim ashkara la7geena shfeehum :s
Ghalia: bagoulich shay...
Saba: shinu??
Ghalia: shiftay hatha ely labis cap a7mar? hatha esma Nasser w ely yama M7amad
Saba: na3am?!
I didn't understand what was going on! what was she saying!
Ghalia: theyre our dates..
Saba: SHINU!?
I didn't notice I started to scream until I saw afew heads turn my way
Ghalia: ushh ush! la tefthe7eena!
Saba: entay mu 9a7ya 9a7?
I picked up my bag from my seat and left but she pulled my arm before I could walk down the steps.
Ghalia: la saba ne6ray 9aber sem3ay!
Saba: shtabeen tgouleen? you used me to cover you for a date? sh'hal 8ilat 7aya? entay ma teste7een 3ala wayhich? o feeny tsaweenha? wallah 6e37tay mn 3ainy! o heday eedy
I pushed her arm off me and walked down passing the guys, when I reached the boys I turned slightly to the left and said "ma kent adre enha mkha6i6a chthy wila chan ma yeet"and I made sure my shoulder pushed one of the guys. I was fuming with anger I couldn't contain myself. I was so close to tears and I felt them build up in my eyes. My parents raised me not to let this happen to me and I was so angry that one of my best friends, or EX best friends did this to me.
I took out my phone from my purse to call my driver to pick me up when suddenly I bumped into someone and my phone fell from my hands since I was shaking after what had happened.
"saba?"
I looked up to see Fawaz, his zaity eyes and perfect smile looking straight at me.
"H-hala asfa I mean s-ssoryy ma kent..I mean I wasn't looking and um and I'm sorry"
Fawaz: 3ade ma 9ar shay shfeech shaklich mkhtar3a ou metdodha?
Saba: la mafeeny shay bes emm.,,bardana shwaya ou sayigy na6erny bara ou ee..bes...
"Haha awal mara ashoufich chthy" he said with a slight smile on his face barely making his tiny dimple appear on the left side of his cheek. "Chthy shlon?" I asked with a worried expression on my face.
Fawaz: la bes you look really scared for some reason are you sure you're alright? are you here....alone?
Saba: Yea I was in the cinema
SHIT! why did I say that! how bad does it look when a girl walks out the cinema alone at night!
Saba: la I mean I was in the cinema and my friend tawha 6la3at fa I'm waiting for my driver to pick me up thats all
Fawaz: hmm...I can tell when someone is lying you know?
Saba: uhm I'm not..
"Fawaz yallah! el filim byabde shfeek?" one of the 3 guys standing by the concession counter said, they were all looking at me probably wondering who I am and why Fawaz was talking to me.
Fawaz: I gotta go but you're telling me what's wrong fahma?
Saba: nothings wrong really
Fawaz: Saba come on something is wrong. Just stay by your phone tonight and whatever it is don't worry
Saba: okay...thanks
Fawaz: okay tabeeny awadeech sayartich?
Saba: umbaih la mashkour maby a7ad yshoufne shbegoulon 3any :o
Fawaz: gouleelhum ana wild khalich mabeech teftarain eb 360 brou7ich kila shabab ou mu 7ilwa ena el bent tkoun brou7ha
Saba: la latkhaf el sayeg na6erny bara al7een
Fawaz: hmm are you sure?
Saba: I'm sure
Fawaz: okay gouleele etha we9altay el bait.
Saba: uhh okay..
Fawaz: yallah bye lazem arou7 take care
Saba: you too enjoy the movie
Fawaz: Thanks
He flashed me a gorgeous smile and I melted! then he turned around and walked in behind his friends into the cinema.
When I got home my parents asked me why I came home so fast I told them the movie was full and we just got something to eat and that's it. I went up to my room and laid on my bed. Ughh! what a horrible night I cant believe that just happened! I changed out of my clothes and washed my face then prayed and got onto my computer to pass the time.
Shittt I forgot to tell Fawaz I'm home! hmm maybe I shouldn't I mean...maybe he was just being nice and it felt weird telling a guy I didn't know that well when I got home and stuff..6af let me just watch a movie. I went down to the kitchen and made me some popcorn then watched mean girls it's one of my favorites! just as the movie ended I heard my phone ring
ring! ring! ring!
Ghalia is calling
"accpet call" decline call"
I let it ring until it cut off
She called again
and again...
the 3rd time I declined the call and sent her a whatsapp
Saba: "stop calling I dont want to talk to you."
Ghalia: " just hear me out! please!"
Saba: "khaleeny me7tarmitich a7san ou leave me alone, I don't want to hear what you have to say. Bye."
Ghalia: "I'll explain everything bacher"
Saba: "y9eer khair"

I clicked on the notification and it opened the dm chat with me and Fawaz.
Fawaz: Hey

Saba & Fawaz: 4
Fawaz: nesait ka ra8my lo 7tejtay shay
Saba: mashkour
I took the paper and put it in my purse, then got into the car. I didn't know what this feeling was, but it was something I've never felt before, it was a rush of excitement a thrill an energizing feeling that I never wanted to disappear.
"go home" I told the driver
I reached home at around 1:30, I set my bag down and went to take a shower. We have zwara tonight and today it's with my mothers side of the family. I got out of the shower and blow dried my hair. I brushed my teeth and went to pick out something to wear for tonight since our zwaras were fancy and not the casual kind. I picked out a cream colored skinny jeans and a white blouse with a gold blazer on top of it. I walked over to my jewellery armoire and picked out a big cold chained necklace and a black and golden ring. For shoes I picked my black Tory Burch flats.
"Saba!" I hearded my mother yell from downstairs. I set my clothes on the bed and went down to see what she wanted.
Saba: Hala yuma.
I kissed her forehead and sat down next to her on the sofa.
Mom: Sabouy 7abeebty khaltich dagat 3alay elyoum etgoul Hessa enkha6bat

Mom: Ee wallah madry 3ala shinu mesta3yeleen
After I finished speaking to my mom I went to my room to send Hessa a message.
Saba: "hey Hessa, its me Saba :D shlonich? sem3at 3an khi6bitich allah ywafgich o yhaneech alf mabrook 7abeebty! ;**"
I sent the message then took out the paper with Fawazs' number from my bag. I created a new contact
"Fawaz AL-X"
ding!
Hessa: "Hala Sabouyyy! el7emdellah ana zaina! entay shlonich? allah ybarik feech el faal lech enshallah ;**"
I replied to her and then got on to twitter.
"Create tweet"
Saba: Bored nothing to do any movie suggestions?
ding!
"Muroojalx has retweeted your tweet"
I closed my phone and laid on my bed
ding!
"Fawazalx has requested to follow you!"
I looked at the screen not quite sure I was reading correctly, I put in my password and waited for his profile to load...
"accept" "decline"
I pressed accept since I didn't mind having someone I sort of knew following me on twitter, if I didn't know him I would have declined.
I followed him back since he was public and tried not to think of it.
ding!
Fawaz: hey
umbaih.. why is he talking to me?
Saba: heyy
Fawaz: need a movie?
Saba: Yes please!
Fawaz: you should watch the kite runner it may not be what you're looking for but believe me it's an amazing movie but if you want something funny watch 21 jump street
Saba: I already watched the kite runner :p 7ada 3ajeeb so I guess 21 jump street it is! Thank you
Fawaz: Ee its an amazing movie bes 21 jump street is a comedy so it won't be like the kite runner :p enjoy and tell me what you think of it.
Saba: Enshallah thanks again x
Fawaz: no prob always here :D
I closed the chat and got online to watch 21 jump street. It was a really funny movie and I couldn't stop laughing its definitely a must see!
by the time the movie was over it was 6:30 so I got up to get dressed for zwara. I wore my clothes and put on make up then went downstairs to wait for everyone to finish.
Dad: ha jahza?
Saba: hala yuba ee jahza
I got up from the sofa and kissed his head.
Dad: yallah ka sweech el sayara rou7ay ne6ray bl sayara al7een umich ou okhouch byanziloun.
I took the car keys and went to wait in the car, sha8alt el dafaya bl car because the seats were so freezing cold.
I got my phone out and tweeted "Zwara in a bit", just a minute after I clicked tweet I got a dm.

Saba: sure x
Fawaz: have fun bl zwara
Saba: thanks
I closed my phone and we were off to zwara..
Saba: mashkour
I took the paper and put it in my purse, then got into the car. I didn't know what this feeling was, but it was something I've never felt before, it was a rush of excitement a thrill an energizing feeling that I never wanted to disappear.
"go home" I told the driver
I reached home at around 1:30, I set my bag down and went to take a shower. We have zwara tonight and today it's with my mothers side of the family. I got out of the shower and blow dried my hair. I brushed my teeth and went to pick out something to wear for tonight since our zwaras were fancy and not the casual kind. I picked out a cream colored skinny jeans and a white blouse with a gold blazer on top of it. I walked over to my jewellery armoire and picked out a big cold chained necklace and a black and golden ring. For shoes I picked my black Tory Burch flats.
"Saba!" I hearded my mother yell from downstairs. I set my clothes on the bed and went down to see what she wanted.
Saba: Hala yuma.
I kissed her forehead and sat down next to her on the sofa.
Mom: Sabouy 7abeebty khaltich dagat 3alay elyoum etgoul Hessa enkha6bat
