Chapter 17

I was playing with a little boy. The same boy the I had a flashback about. We were playing chase I guess. He was chasing me when he suddenly fell on the floor passed out. I ran back to him and started shaking him, hoping he would wake up.

Me: 3bdallah !! 3bdallah goom yala!!

He wasn't answering me. Tears were running down my eyes like a waterfall. I got up and ran to my mother's side.

Me: MAMA !! MOMMY !! WAAAAAH !!

Shmoo5: Shfeek 7beebtii?! Leeh t9e7een?!

Me: Ma-*hic* ma *sniff* 3bd- *hic* allah 6aa7 !! *hic*

Shmoo5: ESH?! Wen 6aa7?! wdeni lh bsr3a !!

A strange woman with golden eyes: Latifa! Golii esh feeh 3bdallah o wenh?!

Shmoo5: Latifa wdeena lh al-7een!

My mother held my hand and I started taking her there quickly. A few women walked behind her wanting to check if anything happened to the little boy. The woman with  golden eyes ran to him and hugged him to her body. My mother let go of my hand and ran to the woman and little boy and started trying to see whether the little boy was alive or not. After that, a lot of women gathered around them and I couldn't see what happened.

I opened my eyes. The first thing I saw was the ceiling of the room I slept in. There were tears in my eyes.

Was I shocked?

Was that a dream? Or a flashback?

Who was this little boy?

I wonder if he's okay?

I turned my head to look at the clock. It read 5:30 AM. 2 hours max and everyone will wake up. I got out of my bed and did my daily routine. I went to the kitchen to make some breakfast. I poured some cereal and hot milk on a bowl and started eating on the table. After I finished I put my bowl and spoon in the sink and started cleaning the. When I finished, I looked at the clock and it read 6:15 PM. I went to the living room and surfed the magazine to look for a few design companies for Joe.

....: Good morning.

I turned and saw Joe. 

Joe's POV: 

Latifa: Good morning Joe.

I smiled at her. I don't understand why Sir. Adam would kidnap Miss Latifa. I don't think he kidnapped her out of grudge or revenge. That way he would torture her or something similar. Not spoil her and let her live in luxury.  I wonder what his reasons are. 

Latifa: JOE!! 

I looked at her surprised. 

Joe: What's wrong?!

Latifa: I was talking and you didn't answer. 

Joe: Sorry. What is it you were saying?

Latifa: I said, I found a few design companies on a few magazines here. Would you like to read about them and check them out?

Joe: Sure. 

I looked through them and they were well-known companies. And also they welcome beginners. I looked at Latifa and she was looking at me smiling. 

Latifa: So, what do you think of them?

Really, she was too nice. We're her kidnappers and she gives us her cheerful smiles.

Latifa's POV: 

Joe: They're wonderful. Thank you<3!

And Joe smiled to me a big, wide and wholehearted  smile. 

Latifa: You're very much welcomed.

Sha4a's POV: 

Today, I get out of the hospital. I was on the wheelchair being pushed by the nurse. I was getting up to get in the car. An ambulance was behind us getting a female patient out. I could only see bits of her face and hair. She looked a lot like Latifa. Oh no.. She couldn't be her. I left the chair and could hear the nurse calling me. I started following them as tears were forming in my eyes. It was hard and I couldn't run. I fell on the floor in front of the entrance. The nurse came and started talking but I couldn't understand much. My mind was focused on the girl in the hospital bed. 

Sha4a: Take me to the patient that just got in!

Nurse: Okay okay!

As she helped me get in the wheelchair and got inside my mother was coming out. 

Njoud: Sha4a 7bb nseetii shii?

Sha4a: Mama mo al-7een! 

I  held the wheels of the wheelchair and started pushing them to the ER. The nurse and my mother were behind me trying to catch up with me. I passed by a room and saw the girl laying on the bed. A doctor came out and I held to his arm. He looked at me surprised by this gesture. 

Sha4a: Doctor! Is she okay?! 

Doctor: Yes she is. Do you happen to know her?

Sha4a: Yes! She's my best friend! Can I please see her?!

Doctor: I don't thin-

Sha4a: PLEASE DOCTOR!! I beg you .. please.

And I started crying really hard. The nurse and my mother finally caught up and saw me crying, and came running faster. 

Njoud: Sha4a shfeek?! Fe shii y3wrk?!

Doctor:.... 

Sha4a: Please!

Doctor: Okay .. but only a glimpse and you have to get out quickly.

Sha4a: Okay. Thank you so much Doctor!

Doctor: You're welcome. 

Sha4a: Mama estnii hina shwii dgeeg o bjii!

The doctor held the handle of my wheel chair and pushed me inside the room. When I saw her.. I just got so disappointed. She wasn't Latifa... 

I turned to the Doctor and told him I was finished. He took me out the room and I thanked him one more time. My mother saw me and she hugged me. I felt better. After that we got out of the hospital to go back home. My mother asked a few times what happened but I didn't answer. It would've hurt much more if I said it out loud.

 I told 3omar what happened after nagging for a while to tell him what's wrong. I'm really hopeful to have him by my side.
