Chapter 26

Rose: Love is going to break you. You still have a weak heart. And that's why you don't remember I guess.

Latifa: I don't come up.

Rose: I guess you still didn't realize it. Once you do just call me.

And she passed me her card.

Latifa: Realize what? Don't leave me hanging!

Rose: I'm sorry. I can't say anything yet.

Rose went away. She looked so elegant as she walked. I kept staring at her until she left out of my sight. I sighed. My head was hurting from all of this confusion. I clutched my head trying to soothe the heading that was creeping to my head.

El-Jazii: Boo!

Latifa: HEEE2!

El-Jazii: Yoma shfeek? =|

Latifa: Ana elli shfenii? :). Wsh hoo lh t5r3enii k4a? :).

El-Jazii: Shdranii enk btt5r3een? =)).

Latifa: B'3eet amoot izzbda.

El-Jazii: Izzbda wsh 3ndk ga3da mn bdrii?

Latifa: Shb3t noom.

Latifa: Ma tshb3k entii =)). Ella entii wsh mg3dk?

El-Jazii: Wla shii.

El-Jazii: Ma adrii.

El-Jazii: Ewa.

Latifa: Yall agomii.

Latifa: La. Bs shrbt 39err burt8al.

El-Jazii: 3ad ha4a mn nfs'h yshb3.

Latifa: Ana b6nii ma yshb3 =)).

El-Jazii: Bha4ii 9dgtii.

Latifa: Goli mashalla la yjenii bla ='(.

El-Jazii: Mashalla mashallah =)).

We got up, got our food and went back to our place. El-Jazii's back was toward the entrance and I was facing her.

Fahad came in with two guys on both sides to him. I nudged El-Jazii and she looked up to me. I shifted my eyes to where the guys sat. She turned so little and looked at them. She turned back and started typing on her phone. I could guess she was talking to him.

Latifa: Tklmeen meen?

El-Jazii: Aklm Fahad.

Latifa: Wsh tgolon?

El-Jazii: Wsh d5lk? =)). Lgafa mush 6be3eya =)).

Latifa: 7aywana =)).

We stayed for an hour chatting then went back to El-Jazii's room.

El-Jazii's POV:

We stayed for an hour chatting then went back to my room. I was looking for my card when I saw something at the floor. I kneeled down and picked it up. It was a red rose with a small white flower tied in a dark red thin ribbon and a small card tied at the tip of the ribbon. I opened the card..

"Good morning my love ..
                       
                            I hope you have a nice day ..

                                                                 With love,
                                                                          Your Fahad. "

I smiled reading the card as my face heated up. Latifa elbowed my hips.

Latifa: Wrood o 7rkat ;). Alla ystr mn elli jay ;).

El-Jazii: Ya allah ga3da tdggeen 3la kl shii ='(.

I turned to her to see her taking a video of me.

El-Jazii: Latifa la t9wreen ='(.

And I tried snatching the phone from her hand. She pulled back and went farther away from me.

Latifa: Abi a9wr wjhk el-6ma6a 4a o arslh lh ;).

El-Jazii: Ya 7aywana!

And we both started running in the halls. Latifa suddenly fell on the floor. I stopped and bursted into laughter.

El-Jazii: AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA A7SN!

Latifa: Kli zg :(.

We heard a laughter from ahead of us. We both lifted our heads to see Fahad's friend. I think his name was 3z. This 3z guy was holding his stomach from laughter. His face is red and his eyes were tearing. I looked at Latifa and her face was red from embarrassment. She got up, came to me and held my hand, pulled me and stood in front of my door.

Latifa: Eft7ii el-bab.

I opened it quickly and as I got in. I could still hear 3z's laughter. Once we were in Latifa turned to me.

Latifa: OMG mra fshla ')! Amaana kill me now.

Her hands were on her face as her cheeks were flushed.

El-Jazii: 3adii tra bs 67tii =)).

Latifa: Bs 67t! Okay ya leet'ha 6ee7a 6bee3ya 6ee7a mrra tfshl!

El-Jazii: Y3nii fe 6e7a 6bee3ya o 6e7a tfshl? =O.

Latifa: Klii zg. Ya rb t6ee7een zy 6ee7tii :).

El-Jazii: Ya 7ywana est'3frii :).

Hayfa's POV

There was noise while I was sleeping. I tried ignoring them but they were loud.

Latifa: Kl.. z... Ya rb ...ee..en zy 6...tii :).

Latifa and El-Jazii: ....

Hayfa: Wj3 6ar el-noom.

I said while getting up to go to the bathroom.

Fayrouz: Wj3 ez3aaj leeh kl hal-9raa5?

Hayfa: Ma adrii 3nhm!

I closed the door of the bathroom and I can hear them talking.

Fayrouz: Wsh msweenlha entw?

El-Jazii: D5lna o kna ntklm b9oot 3alii o 39bt 3shan gamt mn elnoom.

Latifa: Bs ma kan 89dna.

Fayrouz: Ajl tstahloon.

Latifa and El-Jazii: :(.

I got out of the bathroom, wore my clothes and went to my room.

Latifa's POV:

Hayfa got out of the bathroom, wore my clothes and went to my room. I could sense that she was mad.

El-Jazii: Elli 9ar klh bsbt enk 9wrtenii -.-

Latifa: Agool bs. Ma 9ar ella bsbt..

I shut my mouth before I could say anything. El-Jazii looked at me with a look that said "F'97teena".

Fayrouz: Bsbt wsho?

Latifa: Btnzleen tf6reen?

El-Jazii: Tra ana o Latifa f6rna.

Fayrouz: Hey la trg3oon golo wsh 9ar? -.-

Fayrouz: HAHAHAHAHAHA ya letnii knt m3km kan f6st.

Hayfa got out of the bathroom and Fayrouz got in.

Hayfa: Mama dgt?

Latifa: La. Btnzleen tf6reen?

Hayfa: B3d shwii.

Latifa: Okay. Ana broo7 lil-'3rfa.

El-Jazii and Hayfa: Okay.

I was tired and wanted to nap a little. I went to my room, wore an over-sized t-shirt. I tucked myself in bed and drifted to sleep.

Sha4a's POV:

Life couldn't be better right now. I was on cloud nine. But it's boring here alone. And Latifa still has a week before she comes back. 3omar is busy with a few paintings he's working on. I decided to watch some TV. I saw a group of artists painting on walls. And I got an idea. I ran to my mother.

Sha4a: Mama ;;).

Njoud: Shtbeen bsr3a?

Sha4a: Abii floos =$.

Njoud: Leeh? o km?

Sha4a: Abii ajeeb shi zy el-jdaar el-kbeer o b5a5at 3shan abi at3lm ashyaa2 jdeeda bma enii 6fshana =$.

Njoud: 6yb. Bs gbl la tdf3een dgii golelii km.

Sha4a: Okay. Shukrn =$.

Njoud: 3fwn.

I took the card and called my driver to get the car ready. I wore my 3baya, hijab and my cross bag. I went out and got in the car.

Komar: Where go?

Sha4a: Jareer.

Komar: Okay.

I went to Jareer and bought the stand I wanted and the colour sprays. I went back and told Komar to set it up. I went to my room and wore something more comfortable. Then went downstairs and Komar finished setting up the stand. I brought a table and put the colour sprays on it and put my phone on shuffle. I took a pencil and sketched a simple horse.

Shmoo5: Hahahaha ewa 97 3leek.

....: I know hahahaha.

Who's she?

She seems familiar.

.....: Ya allah b6nii ahahahahaha.

Njoud: Ella tg63.

Shmoo5: Alla ydeem el-7aal. Ella Rose, mta enshalla raj3a mn America?

Rose?!

How does she know Mama and 5ala Njoud?!

Rose: Walla ma adrii. Bs ma bn6wl zy daymn.

I saw Mama, 5ala Njoud and Rose all turn to somewhere. I wanted to turn my head to see but it was as if my head was frozen. Until a sudden scream was echoed through the house.

........: AAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!

Latifa: AAAAAAHHHHHH!

I woke up in my bed sweating and breathing hard. I lifted myself up a little and tried to calm down a little. I got up and got me a bottle of water and drank it hurriedly. The cold water inside my mouth felt so good and refreshing. I decided to take a shower and refresh myself. An hour and I was done. I went to my parents room and knocked. But no one answered. I called them.

Shmoo5: Alo?

Latifa: Mama wenkm?

Shmoo5: Ana o bobk glna bntmsha shwii o 5awatk mo 3ndk?

Latifa: La.

Shmoo5: Ajl shoofeehm bil-lobby. O e4a lgeteehm t3alolna bil-7dee8a elli r7teelha 4eek el-mra.

I went downstairs and looked for my sisters. After a quick search I didn't find them so I called Hayfa.

Hayfa: Alo?

Latifa: Wenkm?

Hayfa: Bil-coffee elli jmb el-hotel. Elli r7na lh 4eek el-mra.

Latifa: Okay. Jaytkm ana.

Hayfa: Okay.

I went to the coffee and spotted them at the same table as before.

Latifa: Boo. Mama tgool nroo7 lha. Yalla?

Hayfa and Samar: Okay.

We started walking to the park and spotted them at the bench talking with each other.

Latifa: El-Slaam 3leekm.

3bdul3ziz: 6yb 6yb ksrtw 5a6rii =)).

Latifa and Hayfa: YAY!

We spent the rest of the day walking through the streets and checking a few shops. We went back home at 10 PM. I BBMed El-Jazii telling her that our parents agreed about tomorrow. 

BBM:

Latifa: Mama o Baba ma 3ndhm man3 3la 6l3tna bukra. 

El-Jazii: 7ta Sa3ad o Shroug. A9ln galw a7sn 3shan 7na nroo7 ntmsha -.- 7setnii nshba -.-

Hayfa: Ajl g3deenii 7. Ana bnam al7een. 

Latifa: Okay. T9b7een 3la 5eer.

After Hayfa and Samar slept I went to my parents room. I knocked the door and Baba answered it. 

3bdul3ziz: Feek shii?

Latifa: La bs abii aklmkm. 

3bdul3ziz: Ed5lii. 

My dad opened the door and I got in. My mother was on the bed watching TV. 

Shmoo5: Shfeek?

3bdul3ziz: Tgool tbii tklmna. 

Shmoo5: Sh3ndk?

My dad was sitting beside my mother whilst I was standing in front of them. 

Latifa: Mama skrii el-TV. 

Shmoo5: La t5wfenii gollii bsr3a feek shii?!

I took a deep breath. 

Latifa: Mama, meen Rose o 3bdallah? 

Upon hearing their names, my parents expressions changed dramatically. Now I was sure they knew them.
