Chapter 33

Farah's side:

She grabbed her phone and sent a text message " We need to talk ASAP. "

After 2 minutes she got a reply from Khaled " Whats wrong? "

Farah: " Come over to my grandmother's house! I'll explain everything. "

Khaled: " Fara7, walah el3athem male khulgich! "

Farah: " Walah el3athem Khaled its worth it. "

Khaled: " I'll be there in 15 minutes. "

Farah: " Faster!! "

Khaled: " Okay. "

20 minutes later, Khaled came. They went to the garden to talk!

Farah: " You won't believe what just happened! "

Khaled: " What Farah? "

Farah felt guilty about doing this.

Farah: " Well, a-am. "

Khaled: " KHAL9AY? "

Farah: " Inzain lat9arekh, Lulu and Wahab... "

Khaled: " SHFEHOM?! "

Farah: " There's something between them. "

Khaled: " I knew it, walah I knew it! Shdarach entay? "

Farah: " I overheard them, she was talking to Mesk. She said that she's going to see him this thursday! "

Khaled: " AYA WILD IL***** !! Met2akda men kalamech Farah? "

Farah: " HOW?! SHE DOESN'T EVEN TRUST ME, KHALED! SHE HATES ME! "

Khaled: " T9AREFAY! "

Farah: " Khaled e7med rabek geltlik hatha! "

Khaled: " Khala9 mashy mashy, ana bat9araf. "

Farah: " Shbetsawy? "

Khaled lit up a cigarette and started smoking " Kelshay eb wagta 7elo, elwa3ad elkhames. "

Farah: " Khaled please gouli shbetsawy? "

Khaled: " Base6a, ra7 an6erha lain te6la3 men bait'hom ou al7ag'ha lain elmokan eli betshof el****** feeh ou nakbes 3aleiha ou 3ugob 3ad ta3alay shoufay shbi9er, ou nesait.. Ahmed bekon weyay! Ou Ziyad ba3ed. "

Farah: " Khaled mala da3y Ahmed. "

Khaled: " La laish mala da3y? Men 7aga y3aref kelshey. "

Farah: " Walah madre. "

Khaled laughed " Ba7e6 countdown 7eg youm elkhames, ana a3alemhom. Yala bye! "

Farah: " Bye. "

Khaled left.

Farah went back to the girls:

Farah said nervously " Ilsalam 3alaikom. "

" Wa3alaikom elsalam. " We replied

Farah: " So Lulu, what do you have on thursday? "

Me: " I promised my friend that I'll go out with her. "

Farah: " Wain? "

Me: " Mmm, we're not sure yet. "

Farah: " Please ajley el6al3a and come here. "

Mesk: " Haw laish? "

Farah: " Aha. "

Mesk: " Whats wrong Farah? "

Farah: " Me? Nothing. "

Mesk: " Are you sure? "

Farah: " Yeah. "

Mesk: " Okay. "

Farah: " I have to go now! "

Mesk: " Okay. "

Farah: " Bye guys! "

" Bye. " Both of us said

Farah left.

Mesk: " Feha shay 9adgeny! "

Me: " Ee embayen. "

Mesk: " Akhaf sma3at shay? "

Me: " I don't think so. "

Mesk : " Madry walah! "

Me: " La tkhar3eny Mesk! "

Mesk: " Mu ga3da akhar3ech, bes madry yemken sma3at ma yendara! "

Me: " Ee walah, yala Mesk I have to go now. "

Mesk: " 3ala wain? Tow elnas! "

Me: " Lazim ared, elsa3a 10 il7een. "

Mesk: " Khala9 okay, see you later. "

Me: " Inshallah. "

I hugged her, and left.

When I first got back home I saw my parents and Ahmed.

Salamt 3alaihom ou ga3adt weyahom shway.

Me: " Baba 3ady arou7 7ag Jouri? "

My father: " La yuba 6a3ay elsa3a cham! "

Me: " I'll sleep over. "

My father: " Elsayeg nam 7aram yuba. "

Ahmed: " Shewadech hal 7aza? Khal Jouri etyelich. "

My mother: " Ee walah khal Ziyad ege6ha. "

Ahmed: " Ee khal yge6ha Zayoud! "

Me: " Okay, I'll talk to them. "

I went upstairs to my room;

 I was nervous about doing this bes I'll call Ziyad.

I dialed his number, pressed the green button.

He didn't pick up the phone.

Bel6agag kaifa, I don't care anymore. Sh'hal dala3?

I wore my PJ's and laid on my bed, I started thinking about Thursday night.

Did Farah hear anything? I don't think so.

My phone rang, its Ziyad.

Me: " Alo? "

Ziyad: " Hala M7amad. "

Me: " Huh? "

Ziyad: " Ee shfeek dag 3alay? "

Me: " Sheno M7amad? "

Ziyad: " Ee ent dag 3alay! "

Me: " Ahh rab3ek yemik, fahamt. "

Ziyad: " Eeh. "

Me: " Ziyad? "

Ziyad: " Ha. "

Me: " Can you come over to my house? "

Ziyad: " Laish? "

Me: " We need to talk. "

Ziyad: " There's nothing to talk about. "

Me: " Imbala, there is. "

Ziyad: " Hold on a second. "

He went outside.

Ziyad: " Alo. "

Me: " Alo. "

Ziyad: " Wana shako aye baitkom hal 7aza? "

Me: " We have to talk Ziyad! "

Ziyad: " Wetha umech aw uboch galaw shyayba hatha? "

Me: " Ee 3shan chethy you'll bring Jouri with you! "

Ziyad: " Hmm, khala9 okay. I'll be there at 12! "

Me: " Waiting. "

Ziyad: " Yala bye. "

Me: " Wait. Ziyad! "

Ziyad: " Hala? "

Me: " I miss you wallah. "

Ziyad sighed " Lulu, we'll talk when I see you. "

Me: " Waiting. "

I wore my ripped denim short, with my gray Abercrombie hoodie. Put my hair into a messy bun and went downstairs!

My father: " Ha betyech Jouri? "

Me: " Ee baba. "

My father: " Khoush! "

I smiled.

15 minutes later, my mobile viberated.

Jouri: " I7na barra. "

Me: " Ok. "

I went outside and I hugged Jouri " I miss you yel kalba! "

Jouri: " Me too wala, wainech ma tbaynen? "

Me: " Mawjouda. "

Jouri: " Chub. "

Me: " I love you! "

Jouri: " Rethait shwaya. "

She laughed and went inside.

Me: " Ye3ni bteg3ad bel sayara? "

Ziyad: " Wain tabene arou7? "

Me: " Ta3al khal neg3ad bel 7adeeqa. "

Ziyad: " Ok. "

He took two plastic chairs for us.

Ziyad: " Madre. "

Me: " Sheno ma adry? "

Ziyad: " La tis2len. "

Me: " Bes Ziyad you wanted to know! "

Ziyad: " Adry, ou ma te7amalt eli sima3ta! "

I sighed  " I'm sorry. "

Ziyad: " Don't be sorry. "

I looked at him!

Ziyad: " Mara7 a6awel 3alaich elmawtho3, bes I did this leana akhaf 3alaich walah. I love you so much, entay eb 7esbat ekhte! "

Me: " I love you too Ziyad... "

He smiled " Welaht 3ala elhwash weyach. "

" 7maaaar. " I said while pushing his shoulder

Ziyad: " So are you hungry? "

Me: " Eeh! "

Ziyad: " Call Jouri, lets go to McDonalds. "

Me: " Male khelg, yeblina take-away! "

Ziyad: " Syage ana? "

I laughed " You3ana! "

Ziyad: " Sheno baitkom ma ywaklonech? "

Me: " Imbala bes khala9 latsolef wayed ou rou7 yebli! "

Ziyad: " Okay. "

Ziyad brought us McDonalds, we sat in the garden.

We ate, we talked.

We had so much fun!

Everything is perfect el7emdila.

Chapter 32

Two weeks later.


Everything is great, el7emdelah.

I removed my cast finally, Wahab is back; we didn't fight at all, everything is simply A M A Z I N G between us. I agreed to go out with him on Friday, allah yastir!

Ahmed rad weyay nefs awel, thank god!

Jouri still likes Khaled, bes mu nefs awel.

Fay is moving on, she says that she's fine but I know she's not.

I told Mesk everything, I told her about the avenues thing ou kelshay, at first she was mad leana I didn't tell her bes be3dain 3ady! She was really happy for me. I love Mesk, I really do! She's amazing.

And Ziyad... Well, we didn't talk that much! Uhwa 7ada emnafis shda3wa 3alaih. I have to talk to him lena jed I can't take it anymore because I miss him and he wanted to know, ye3ni kelish mala da3y e3a9eb!


So today's Thursday, our family gathering side uboy.

My mobile was viberating.

Me: " Ha. "

Mesk: " Way3a, sh3endich elyoum? "

Me: " Nothing, I guess. "

Mesk: " Come over to bait yedeti? "

Me: " La male khelg, a9lan I have to rest my ankle mu zain amshe wayed wayed. "

Me: " Oh. "

Mesk: " Lulu betyen! "

Me: " Khala9 okay! "

Mesk: " A7ebich! "

Me: " Shut up! "

Mesk: " Hahahaha. "

I went to my mother and I told her that I was going to my grandmother's house, she was surprised.

My mother: " Shel6ary? "

Me: " Madre abe ashoufhom! "

My mother: " Entay kel 3 months etrou7en mara wela shilsalfa? "

I laughed " Tegderen itgoulen. "

I changed into my navy aeropostale training ou lebast mn dakhel white tank top, and wore my silver toms glitter shoes. I applied some make up, sawayt sha3re kuba lai foug and I'm ready to go.

I told Wahab that I was going, ou gali etha Khaled kan menak ared elbait 3ala 6oul and I agreed. I don't want to fight with him anymore, mu 3ala Khaled! He's not worth it.

I arrived at 7:30, I texted Mesk. I told her that I was out side!

Mesk: " AHLAN AHLAN! " while hugging me.

Me: " I MISS YOU. "

Mesk: " 3ayara walah! "

Me: " Wala men 9eji I miss you! "

Mesk: " Ee lo 9ej walhana 3aley chan yetay men nefsich mu maq9oba! "

Me: " Hehe walah 7ade abe ashoufech bes male khelqhom. "

Mesk knows that I hate Farah.

Mesk: " Yala emshay salmay ou neg3ad bel '3erfa ensolef. "

Me: " Okay. "

Dakhalt dakhel el9ala salamt 3alaihom, 6ab3an all of them were like ' Men wain 6al3a elshams, men ziman mu shayfenich' etc.

We went to the room, we closed the door.

Me: " Mesk. "

Mesk: " Hmm. "

Me: " Bashouf Wahab bacher! "

We heard a noise.

Mesk: " Shh shh! "

She opened the door.

Mesk: " Ashwa mafe a7ad! "

Me: " Khara3teny! "

Mesk: " So, betshofena bacher? "

Me: " Eeh! "

Mesk: " Wain? "

Me: " Lail7en ma nedry, yemken pinkberry! "

Mesk: " Are you sure about this? "

Me: " Eeh! "

Mesk: " Ele eray7ech, if you need anything. I'm here for you! "

Me: " 7abebty wala! "

Farah's side * she overheard everything* :

Oh my god!

Lulu and Wahab?

Wahab?

The one that I love?

Lulu is in a relationship with Wahab!

I have to deal with this.

I grabbed my phone, I sent a text message.

" We need to talk ASAP. "

To be continued..

Chapter 31

I woke up the next day around 8:45, ga3adt weya eldeyay ta8reban. Jouri and Ziyad were sleeping!

I checked my BBM, I found a message from Jenna.

" He's fine, sa2al 3anech. "

Il7emdela, thats a good start of the day. I called my driver ou geltla eye bait Jouri to pick me up. The driver arrived in 10 minutes, ga3adt Jouri I told her that I was leaving.

Well. That was funny!

Me: " Agoulech kelshay when you wake up, bye! "

Jouri: " Bele may7afthech. "

Me: " 9ij yahel ou ma ten3a6ain wayh. "

Jouri: " Use the elevator, mara7 anazlech. "

Me: " Adre! "

I went dowsntairs, and found Jouri's mother reading the newspaper. That's kinda awkward, she doesn't know I'm here.

Khalte Eman: " Oh, Lulu 3endina. "

I smiled " Ilsalam khalte. "

Khalte Eman: " Men meta entay 3endina? "

" Men ams. "  I replied

Khalte Eman: " Ana ams gafla elbab elsa3a 11 makentay mawjouda! "

Okay, now that's embarassing.

My phone interrupted, Fay was calling!

Me: " Alo. "

Fay: " LULU!! "

She was crying.

Me: " Shfeech Fay? "

Fay: " Lulu, bamout bamout! "

Me: " Sh9ayer shfeech? "

Fay: " Can you come over? "

Me: " Sure! "

Fay: " Okay. "

Me: " Fay shfech 3asa ma shar? Ga3da etkhar3eny walah! "

Fay: " Lulu. "

She hugged me so tight.

She didn't reply, she's probably sleeping.

@Ziyad_AlFlani: Confused.

@Ziyad_AlFlani: Yep.

@Ziyad_AlFlani: Because its too much to handle.

" Well, you wanted to know. " I tweeted

@Ziyad_AlFlani: " I didn't see that coming. "

" Well, goodnight(: " I tweeted.

@Ziyad_AlFlani: " Sleep tight. "

Chapter 29

I didn't know what to do. Tears started falling from my eyes, Wahabi? Hospital? WHY!

Me: " Ha? Laish mustashfa? "

.... " Who are you? Are you his sister? "

Me: " Aaa. No, I'm his cousin "

.... " Can you please tell his parents that they should come to the hospital immediately? "

Me: " Can you please tell me whats wrong? "

.... " Mafe shay enshalah, lemma eyoun be3arfoun. I have to go now, bye! "

He hung up the phone.

I hope its just a dream, I closed my eyes. I kept repeating this sentence:

" It's just a dream. "


" It's just a dream. "


" It's just a dream. "


" IT'S JUST A FUCKING DREAM! "

I started crying heavily. This can't be happening, sheno 9arla? I went to the bathroom, I washed my face and I called Jenna.

Me: " Alo? "

Jenna: " Lulu. "

Me: " Jenna Wahab.."

Jenna: " SHFEEH? "

I started crying " Tawa fe a7ed dag 3alay ou gale ena Wahab eb mustashfa elamery and your parents should go right away. "

Jenna: " SHENO? Yala bye. "

Wahab opened his eyes.

Me: " WAHAB!!! "

Wahab: " L-u-l.. I'm tired "

I cried " Smela 3alaik. "

Jenna: " Wahab!!! "

He smiled and closed his eyes again.

So here's what I decided to do, ra7 abde awakher 3an Ziyad shwey shwey. I have to! I know its so hard, bes I'll try. I love Wahab NOT Ziyad. Ra7 at3eref eb ashya2 3omre ma e3taraft'ha 7ag a7ed. Awel leman kena 9ghar I had a crush on Ziyad, kent a7eba 9ij. Kent kela a7lem feeh, 7atan gabel la anam ag3ed afaker feeh. Be3dain lema he left kent ag3ad abchy every single day, kent abe Ziyad. Bedait ansa Ziyad shway shway, be3dain Wahab came to my life and changed everything . Wala ana wayed a7eb Wahab, alah ya3lam shkether, bes still fe shay dakhle e7eb Ziyad! I'm not a player or something, bes ye3ni kent a7eba 7ail. Yemken fe ba3athkom maraw bele ana marait feeh, et3arfon elsh3our ele lama et7eboun a7ad 7AIL be3dain he leaves faj2a, ou 3ugib ma tensouna he simply comes back  ou et7ison ena elfeelings towards that person came back also? Well. Hal shay 9ar fene awal ma sheft Ziyad at the airport. Ou ana ba3ed a7es ena Ziyad likes me, ana t'3ayart 3an awel. When I was a kid I was chubby ou ma ashaweg kelish. Bes now I started taking care of myself. Ma kan e3amelny chethe, al7en mu3amalta 7age ta'3ayerat. Adre ena friends yehtamon 7ag ba3ath, bes Ziyad yehtam fene eb zouda. Ok awel kena wayed close weya ba3ath bes ye3ni ma kan yakheth raye eb ashya2, ohwa ra7 yeshtre sayara 3ala tho8i ana ou elmeshkela ohwa may7eb elsayara, bes sharaha 3ashany . Walah el3athem I LOVE WAHAB, and thats why ra7 abde awakher 3an Ziyad. Mabi a3alga ma3ay, ou mabe a7eba. Al7en I don't have any feelings for him, bes akhaf e9er shay ekhalene a7eba mara thanya. Mabe athlem Wahab, ana a7eba ou uhwa i7ebny!

T3arfon this phrase?

What goes around COMES back around.

Ye3ni lemma 7abait Wahab, Ziyad fell for me. Wala jed eldenya dawara!
