PART 18

It was now or never for mayed he made up his mind and it was time to tell arwa, his sister about his decision. He approached her while she was sitting reading her magazine.

Mayed: arwa ana 8arart

Arwa: 8arart 7ag sho? (still looking at her magazine)

Mayed: aba a56ib ghaya

Arwa could see the serious look on her older brother’s face. When he was serious it showed, arwa didn’t mind her brother marrying her friend but it was still shocking news to hear that her brother wants to get married. He doesn’t look like the type that would agree to marry at his age.

Few weeks later…

It was katb ektaab and ghaya woke up bright and early for this day she feared this day would come for quite some time but when it finally came she felt nothing. To her surprise she thought that she would disagree to all of it but it wasn’t anything like she imagined. She acted normal towards all of this. After this day she would be officially a married woman.

Ghaya got into her dress and waited for her friends to appear and see how they looked. Mahra and arwa came rushing into the room with goofy smiles on their faces.

Arwa: shaklch wayid 7low

Ghaya: shokran (she started to blush)

Mahra: bdaina bel blushing malch bs 5ala9 its is your melcha would you relax eshway

Ghaya: I am relaxed

Arwa: surprisingly too relaxed, anywho ana baseer o barid

Arwa rushed out he door while her friends laughed at her she was very bubbly which they loved about her.

Ghaya: mahra, how is the married life? (she asked with a soft voice)

Mahra: I knew you were a bit nervous (she looked at ghaya with serious eyes)

Ghaya: yeah nervous slightly but I hang out with mayed a few times but im nervous for the part where I should know him and learn what he likes and what he dislikes

Mahra: to be honest that part is easy, you will get used to his lifestyle and he would get used to you too, belive me I know mayed he wont do anything this big if he doesn’t want to

Ghaya: yeah (blush)

Mahra: so you like him ha?

Ghaya: I guess

Mahra: 9dg ench CUTE, don’t worry married life can be sexy if you don’t get stuck being friends with your husband

Ghaya just laughed at mahra. Mahra on the other hand happy to see her friend get married. She was the only married one between her friends and now ghaya would join her.


...

Rashid was in his apartment when he received a text from mahra saying that she reached ghaya’s house and the melcha was going to be held there. He smiled to her text and placed his phone in his pocket. Walking to the lobby he saw someone that he wished he never did. He stood in his place blinking again and again thinking that it was just his stupid imagination. He walked towards his car and laughed at himself for thinking that he saw that person. A person he never thought he would see again. He walked to his car when someone tapped his shoulder. Rashid turned around to find a beautiful tall tanned woman, and there she stood right in front of him

Rashid: reem, sho etsaween ehnii?

Reem: I left my husband for you

...

The melcha was already starting and rashid wasn’t there yet, mahra was getting concerned she decided to call him but his phone was switched off. Mahra had this feeling but ignored it and decided to enjoy herself. He is probably just running late is what she thought. Mahra could see mayed sitting with ghaya having the time of their lives. She wondered if their marriage would be any different from hers with rashid.

Mayed: you look stunning (he whispered in her ear)

Mayed was slowly losing his mind looking at ghaya in a sexy dress. As much as he was tempted to rip her dress off, he controlled himself. All ghaya would do is blush and thank him.

People were starting to leave and it was mayed his parents and ghaya and her parents with mahra and arwa. Mayed’s parents excused themselves and so did arwa. Mahra was officialy worried. Rashid wasn’t picking up so she decided to go back to the apartment and wait there.

...

Rashid on the other hand was shocked and couldn’t believe his eyes

Reem: I left my husband for you

Rashid was speechless after all these years, she came back, she came back to him.

Normal? 17

PART 17

In arwa and mayed’s apartment…

Arwa was minding her own business when mayed came in her room looking annoyed with something, it was clear that there was something bothering him but he wouldn’t admit it.

Arwa: mayed balak?

Mayed: ha?

He was to distracted to even listen to people talking around or to him.

Arwa: feek shay?

Mayed: ha umm la la mafeenii shay, bs b’3ait as2lch byoonch elbanat 3ashan a3arf law ard met25er wila

Arwa: haih mahoor beteenii

Mayed noticed that she only said mahra but nothing about ghaya so he remained quite. As much as he wanted to ask about ghaya he knew that arwa would be suspicious of something. After she told him that she was getting married he hadnt seen her or spoken to her. He wanted to know what was happening. So he decided to ask arwa but in a less suspicious way

Mayed: wainha ghaya 3nch, machoofch termseen 3anha, met'6arbeen?

Arwa: (arwa looked at mayed for a second then answered his question) la she is busy with everything at home with her mom, since her mom has been putting the pressure on her to get married, but you know ghaya she said no to all the men that her mom picked since she doesn’t want to satisfy her mother

Mayed was shocked on how arwa just goes on and on, sometimes he felt like suffocating her with a pillow because of how talkative she was but it came in handy this time. He was pleased that he had a talkative sister like arwa or else he wouldn’t know that ghaya wasn’t planning to get married to another man it was her mother’s plans all along and since she denied all of them he had a chance is what he thought.

Mahra: sup peeps (she came in with a smile)

Mayed: bismillah, tawnii as2al arwa 3nch

Mahra: 6ab3an kil 7ad yermes 3ani

Mayed: serii wali la

Mahra: CHUB

Mayed: 3afanallah (with that he left)

Arwa: why are you all smiley?

Mahra: nothing its just a good day

Arwa: what happened?

Mahra: ‘bismillah kaif 3rfat’ nothing happened

Arwa: don’t lie to me, come on spill NOW

Mahra knew it was useless to aruge with arwa so might as well spill the beans. She confessed to arwa that she was going to keep her feelings for herself and that they are married but only as friends and besides they decided on that since the beginning. He hasn’t given a reason to believe that he has feelings for her.

Arwa: intii ghbiya, et3arfeen hal shay

Mahra: sho tbain, I told you he hasn’t said anything about his feelings and nothing indicating that he does so im married to him I don’t want to tell him that I have feelings for him then spend the rest of my life living with him in awkwardness ok

Mahra had a point so arwa decided to back off, she kenw mahra was right, he hasn’t given any indication but she hoped that rashid would develop feelings for her. For some reason she saw them as a cute couple.

Mahra walked back to their apartment and found it empty like usual ever since the incident she hasn’t seen rashid or spoken to him. She wanted to avoid him for awhile since she was still not brave enough to look at him and act as if waiting for him for an hour is nothing and didn’t hurt her. She already had dinner with arwa so she decided to go to bed. She was feeling a little down because she didn’t talk to her parents and siblings for quite some time. She laid in bed and drifted to sleep after thinking of her family.

Rashid came back from uni hoping to see mahra awake or preparing dinner since it was a not as late as he usually comes back home. But the place was quite and he checked mahra’s room to find her asleep. He ordered his dinner and watched tv quietly so he won’t wake his wife up and disturb her. He turned off the tv and walked passed mahra room to the kitched when he heard noises. He walked in slowly to find  her sweating like she was having a nightmare. He placed one hand on her arm and called her name for her to wake up. He was worried she looked really scared with her eyes shut and sweating. She suddenly woke up and took a huge gaspe of air.

Rashid: bismillah 3alaich

He sat beside her and hugged her

Rahisd: its just a nightmare

Mahra: im sorry did I wake you up

Rashid: no you didn’t here some drink water

She did as she was told and took sips of water from the bottle then sat on the bed to slow down her breaths. Rashid just watched her with a smile on his face he realized that he hasn’t apologized yet for being late the other day.

Rashid: mahoor im sorry

Mahra: no its fine, you look sleepy, go to bed

Rashid: that is a good idea, yallah move over

Mahra: 3ala kaifk

Rashid: intii bs move

He laid next to her and held her in his arms till she fell asleep.

Normal? 16

PART 16

Mahra: well there is no point in lying (mahra just wanted to get things out) Im falling for him araaw

Arwa: I KNEW IT

Mahra: balach et9ar5een, I haven’t seen him in awhile and I already miss him, we only text and he is my husband for god sakes

Arwa: does he know that you feel like this towards him?

Mahra: la2 (she had this look on her face that made arwa want to cry)

Arwa: awww mahooor, lat9ay7eenii, you know what I really think that you 

should tell him how you feel maybe he feels that same way.

Back in the ice rink…

Ghaya was enjoying her time skating when she was slowly thinking of what her mother said. Mayed noticed her upset face do he went to a corner of the ice rink and scraped ice so that he can throw it at her. The next thing ghaya noticed was ice thrown at her and mayed laughing his ass off. He just could'nt keep it any longer.

Mayed: hahahahahahahahah, 6a shaklch

Ghaya: you didn’t (she started to collect ice into a ball and throw it at him but he was fast so he ran away) ta3al ehnii, why are you running away

He just skated away while she tried to follow him but failed attempts.

Ghaya: ayyyyyy

Mayed turned around and saw ghaya on the floor with her hands on her ankle. Mayed rushed to her with panic eyes.

Mayed: balaach, feech shay, etroomeen temsheen (the next thing he knew was a snow ball was thrown at his face and ghaya laughing her ass off)

Mayed: hhhhhh aaaahhaa yal ‘3ashasha, kila ha 3ashan etfreena 3alay

Ghaya: I told you that I would get you

Mayed: fair enough, goomii (he helped her up), lets go get hot chocolate

They remained seated having their hot chocolate and chatting away but mayed noticed that ghaya was a bit distracted he couldn’t put his finger into it but he sensed it. Something was not right and she wasn’t saying anything.

Mayed: ghaya shaklch ta3bana, ardch elbait

Ghaya: mayed im getting married (she blurted out)

Mayed felt like his heart had stopped after what she said.

In mahra’s apartment…

Earlier in the day mahra texted rashid saying that she was making dinner and that she wanted him to eat with her. She made dinner and prepared it on the table with perfect table wear and candles to sooth the atmosphere. She got a little dressed to show rashid that she was his WIFE and not just a room mate that he lives with.

She waited with the food on the table with a smile on her face waiting for him to come any second now. She texted arwa to tell her that she was going to tell him all about her feelings and get it over with. She had no idea where all this courage came from so suddenly. Tapping her foot on the floor as she waited nervously for him. All she could do is smile at her dumbness at the moment. She didn’t know what she was getting herself into but she didn’t care.

30 minuted has passed and he hasn’t arrived yet. She got out a magazine to read as she waited but the 30 minuted turned to 1 hour and nothing from rashid. She got worried so she texted by saying that she was home and where was he. He replied by saying ‘im running late sorry, maybe next time, I have many things to do’. Her facial expression changed from excited to sad. She wanted everything to be perfect but she was missing the most important thing which was rashid. She covered the food and went to bed to get her head off of things. All the hard work for nothing what else was she going to do.

Rashid came back from uni  tired as hell. All this work is going to kill him is all he thought. He dropped his bags on the floor and looked at the dinner table. It was set perfectly with candles and flowers. He felt bad for not showing up but he had work to do that he couldnt just ignore. He tried listening into mahra’s room but there was no reply so he decided to knock on her door he just wanted to see her face before going to bed, he missed how every night he would go to sleep with her face printed on his mind. But after knocking there was still no reply so he decided to go back to sleep since it is already late and mahra was most probably asleep.

Mahra on the other hand was wide awake ignoring all rashid’s callings and remained on her bed with sadness. They were married so she wanted love, she wanted to spend her life as a married couple. She was shocked herself because she didn’t want to get married in the first place but her strong feelings for rashid made her change all that. They were friends after all so she didn’t expect him to feel the same way about him or anything else. She made up her mind she was going to let it go and just get over with it. True they were married but they weren’t in love at least he wasn’t with her or is that what she thought?

Normal? 15

PART 15

Days passed and mahra was seeing less of Rashid. They would see each other in the morning and that was it. But they texted often, she would text him where she would be going for the day and make sure he ate and everything while he would tell her to take care of herself and call if she needed anything.  Without noticing it they would text every time they had a chance.  Rashid was getting busy with his projects so he spent most his time in campus. Mahra was getting tired of it, she missed spending time with him. All she did every minute of the day think of him. She just cant help it. She was making her way to her classes so she thought to send a text to rashid.

To rashid:

Morning, didn’t get to see you this morning :(, don’t forget to eat breakfast cz you woke up extra early this morning

To mahra:

Good morning, don’t worry im eating now, yallah mahoor please take care and call when your done with classes ok :)

Rashid was walking to at the engineering building discussing his project while having breakfast with his group.

1^st guy: dude I wish I could be that smiley in the morning, my mood is crap!!

A girl from the goup: your mood is always crap, besides I don’t think that smile is there cz he is in a good mood, right rashid?

Rashid: what is that suppose to mean?

1^st guy: who were you texting bro, you seems to engrossed and that stupid smile on your face was there all the time

The girl: its his wife

1^st guy: ahhh I see, maybe I should get married

Rashid: shut up, yes im married but it is not like that

The girl: how is it like?

Rashid: im not talking about this

…

Ghaya was on her way to her class but she couldn’t take it anymore, not after the news her mom told her. She knew that this day would be coming but not this fast. She expected it to happen later on, like few years later. She had to decide but she didn’t have any sleep last night thinking about it. She was too busy talking to herself having arguments to herself that she didn’t realize mayed was right infront of her looking at her to look at him back.

Mayed was going to class when he saw ghaya’s troubled facial expression. She was walking right past him and didn’t realize he was right there. So he stopped her

Mayed: hey!!!

Ghaya: ohh hi, sorry didn’t see you there too much in my mind

Mayed: I can see that ‘I love it when she gets all shy’, you alright, you seem a bit distracted

Ghaya: ha umm ya I just cant go to class like this I cant think, I guess im going back home

She started to walk away when mayed called her name with a big smile on his face.

Mayed: why waste a perfect day

He dragged her from her hand and took her to his car and drove off. Just like that, everything was so simple with him, what he wants he gets. And he made it pretty clear.

Ghaya: mayed (in an angelic tone)

Mayed just looked at her waiting for her to say something other than just call his name in the most sweetest voice he has ever hear. He slowly was loosing control

Ghaya: where are we going? (she wouldn’t look at him because she was too shy to do so)

Mayed: laish matchoofeenii yoom etramseenii?

Ghaya’s cheeks had more shades of red on them, mayed just loved doing that to her.

Mayed: a7een betchoofeen wain benseer

Mayed drove until he stopped beside this huge ice rink. For the weather they 

are in right now it is the best palce to go to.

Mayed: yallah

He got out of the car and so did ghaya. She didn’t know what else to do.

Ghaya: mayed what are we doing here?

Mayed: what does it look like, we are going to ice skate

Mayed grabbed his jacket from the car and walked with ghaya beside him to get into the ice rink. Ghaya was slowly getting her head off of things which made her even more nervous. She was the type of girl that liked to think and think ahead of what to do or what will happen to expect everything she hated people changing plans or a change in her life. She tried changing this habit because things chage, hell life changes. As she wanted is to prepare for the changes.

In the arwa’s apartment…

Arwa: wallah madriibha I texted she didn’t answer me, but she told me that she wasn’t in the mood what do you think is it

Mahra: aha (mahra was too busy looking as her phone than listening to arwa)

Arwa: mahoor yalsa agoolch feeha shay, it sounded like she was hiding something the last time I talked to her

Mahra: aha

Arwa: o ba3dain sarat UAE, o galat enha mabetrid Canada o 5ala9 betet3alaj ehnaak tara feeha mara’9

Mahra: aha

Arwa: OHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO, intii mob yalsa tesm3eenii

Mahra: ohh sorry im just thinking of something else

Arwa: ohh I know you better than that, your thinking of rashid right? Don’t you dare say no cz I know that you are

Mahra: well there is no pint in lying (mahra just wanted to get things out) Im falling for him arraaw

PART 14

Mahra got into the apartment and found rashid sitting on the couch watching tv. She took off her shoes and let out a big sigh.

Mahra: your still up

Rashid: mahoor elwakt met25er

Mahra: ma7asaina bl wakt, we were catching up with ghaya

Rashid: ohh enzain, bs latet25rain mara thnaya chi, ana ylast ehnii atrayaach o a7aaateech

With that he got up and went to his room. Mahra felt guilty that she was out all night while he waited for her. She didn’t ask him to wait for her but she still felt guilty. It is true that her parents aren’t there so that doesn’t mean she can take rashid for granted.

Mahra: ‘how sweet, he waited’

Walking back to her room to brush her teeth and prepare for bed she still felt terrible for what she did. For some reason she wanted to apologize. A reason for her to see him. She was doing all that without even noticing it. She slowly knocked on the door and peaked inside the room to see rashid opening his eye lids and stretching.

Mahra: ‘masra3 ma rgad’

Rashid opened his eyes to the scene of mahra right infront of him. It made him a bit worried. He jumped from his place and asked

Rashid: mahoor balaach feech shay

He got up from his place and walked to her looking at her from head to toe to make sure she was alright.

Mahra saw the concerned look on his face and had this smile on her face. She blushed slightly

Mahra: im sorry (she said it in a low voice)

Rashid: sorry?

Mahra: I stayed late, I didn’t know that you were waiting for me, I didn’t ask you to, then you waited and then I woke you up, I scared yo-

Rashid: bismillah kila ha 3ashan etgooleen sorry

Mahra: umm…

Rahisd: allah ya5eth ebleesch at7asab mstiwi feech shay, latzay’3eenii chi mara thanya

Mahra: sorry

Rashid: hahahahahaha (some how he found it funny)

He got back in bed and covered up looking at mahra

Rashid: mafeech ergaad?

Mahra: la2 (she lied)

Rashid: ta3alii

He patted on the space beside on the bed asking her to sit closer to him until she feels sleepy. Mahra sat on his side and covered herself. Her feet touched rashid’s leg

Rashid: ahhhh eryoolch barda

Mahra: sorry im always freezing

Rashid: ta3alii

He got closer to her and they were practically stuck to each other. He placed his right arm on her shoulders sharing body heat with her to keep her warm.

Rashid: tdreen ench dala3a

Mahra: hhhhh, its part of my charm :)

Whenever she had problem sleeping before someone would just sit with her until she fell asleep. it helped her to sleep, and he remembered. They stayed like that until they both fell asleep.

The next day…

Mahra woke with this happy feeling inside of her, she saw that she was on rashid’s chest sleeping peacefully and so was he. She got up and tucked the blanket for him and went out the room to take a shower and get ready for uni. Rashid on the other hand gets ready in a few minutes. After she was done, she went back to rashid’s room and found him still asleep on the bed.

Mahra: rashood yallah warana jam3a

Rashid he just remained asleep, it seemed like he was tired. He moved a bit indicating that he doesn’t want to go.

Mahra: rashood (she placed her hand on his arm and moved a little with her sweet voice calling to him)

Rashood: mahoor 7abeebti wli ey5aleech, 5 degaayeg bas

Mahra froze in her place, ‘7abeebti’ kept ringing in her head. She thought about it for a second but she knew that it didn’t mean anything. He is really tired and must of said it by mistake. He probably doesn’t mean it like that or does he?

Mahra: enzain, im going to make breakfast

mahra's point of view:

7abeebti? what is that suppose to mean? he is probably just tired, what would he say it if he didn't mean it? stop it mahra your making a fuss about something that doesn't even make sense.

PART 13

The elevator doors opened and there was mayed standing shocked to see her here. Ghaya couldn’t believe it. What on earth was he doing here.

Mayed: so you are following me now?

Ghaya: no I swear this is not it (she looked embarassed)

Mayed: hhhhhh relax im kidding, so what brings you here? (he found her embarrassed look cute while she tried to explain)

Ghaya: im visiting a friend

Mayed: ohh, which floor?

Ghaya: 8

Mayed pressed the button and that was the only button he pressed. Ghaya was surprised now that he lived in the same floor the one she was going to. She walked out and he did behind her. She stood infront of the door and was about to ring it when mayed pulled out a key and opened it.

Ghaya: this is your apartment?

Mayde: yeah, and your?

Ghaya: my friend said that this is her apartment number

Mayed: let me guess your friend is arwa

Ghaya: yeah

Mayed: she is my sis, im mayed by the way

They went thought the door and inside the apartment.

Ghaya: ghaya

Mayed: thats the door (he pointed at the door that leads to arwa’s apartment)

Ghaya: thanks

Ghaya kindly walked over to arwa’s apartment and said her hellos.

Arwa: mn wain yaitii? Masma3t elbaab

Ghaya: ha umm aaaa, I ran into mayed on the way here

Arwa: ohh yeah as you can see I live with my bro (she mad a face)

They sat and talked but ghaya would listened and laughed slightly. Even with her own friends she was too shy.

Mahra: ghayooo laish intii ba3adch chi, so how is Canada? You like it here?

Ghaya: e9ara7a its no UAE but I got used to it

Arwa: well yeah I kind like it, mayood says it nice

Mahra: chub, ana yaya ebroo7ii enzain

Arwa: 3ala kaifch intii yaya wiya rashood

They both looked over to ghaya to see a confused look on her face they both cracked up at the scene.

Ghaya: mno rashood hatha?

Arwa: he is mahra’s husband

Ghaya’s face change from confused to SHOCKED. They all laughed while ghaya was still shocked.

Ghaya: mahra’s what?

Mahra: yeah you heard her, im married

Ghaya: your so cool about it, mahra you know your MARRIED

Mahra: yeah so, its like having a room rate

Arwa: you see what im dealing with, this is how she has been ever since

Ghaya: mahra… are you sure your ok with all of this?

Mahra: would you 2 all calm down, im telling you im fine, and this is normal, 3adi mafeeha shay

Arwa: btw ghayoo he is rashid wld 5alo meera

Ghaya: ohhhhh that is why you were so cool with it, you know him that’s why, and I bet you like it

Mahra: what is that suppose to mean?

Ghaya: ohh you know what I mean, arwa right she used to like him

Mahra: I didn’t, and we drifted apart we just reconnected awhile ago before getting married by a few days

The girls catched up on things and had a great time. It was getting late so they both had to leave and get back to their own houses.

Mayed was going in the building when he saw ghaya walking out to her car.

Mayed: tawa elnaas

Ghaya: hhh we had a lot to talk about

Mayed: I can see that, mno beyrdch elbait?

Ghaya: I will, my car is parked over there

Mayed: sho ‘6alaam,  betrdeen broo7ch?

Ghaya: I have a car, mayed (saying his name felt so right coming out of her lips and into mayed’s ears)

Mayed: bamasheech lain sayartch, yalla

Ghaya: la la noo need, you go inside

Mayed: FYI no one can argue with me, there is no point

Ghaya: hehehehe ok (she didn’t argue that much because she wanted him to, as much as she didn’t want to admit it to herself)

He walked her to her car and took his time embracing the moment. Ghaya took out her keys to unlock her car. Being the perfect gentleman mayed is, he opened the car door for her and said

Mayed: drive safe

Ghaya: thank you (smile)

Mayed: ‘she has dimples’

Ghaya started the engine and drove off to her destination leaving her cheeky smile planted in mayed’s brain. Mayed watch her drive away then went back into the apartment wondering why he was feeling what he feeling.

Normal? 12

PART 12

Mahra and rashid went out the apartment and walked to the uni, it was pretty close. They made their way and met up with arwa and mayed.

Rashid: hala mayood sh7alk?

Mayed: rashood, wallah mn zman 3nk, ana ebair el7emdillah? Int'h sho emsawii?

Rashid: ana el7emdiilah eb5air

They guys sat and catched up on things, while the girl made their way to their classes.

Arwa: omg I want details  NOW

Mahra: bismillah era7maan era7eem sho details?

Arwa: you exactly what im talking about

Mahra: what married life is just well weird, ill tell you that

Arwa: come on sho weird?

Mahra: I don’t know, ill talk to you after k, girls night

Mahra just didn’t know how to explain it to arwa, she knew that arwa would just come to the solution that mahra is in love.

Arwa made her way to the class room when she bumped to someone near the class room door.

Arwa: im sorry

Girl: its ok

Arwa: omg, ghaya??

Girl: haih

The girl was very cute with her eyes fluttering not knowing who arwa was, she was trying to figure it out. Suddenly it hit her, her lips formed a huge smile.

Ghaya: arwa?? Is it seriously you?

Arwa: 9dg yoom galaw it’s a small world, hh so how r u?? how have you been, wallah I have so many questions

Ghaya:  im great actually , I have many questions too, we have to catch up

Ghaya was one of mahra and arwa’s close friends before her father got a job offer then left to Canada.

Ghaya: so wain mahra, wyaach ehnii?

Arwa: haih wyaayii, we came to study here

The girls went into the class room and were looking forward for the end so that they can catch up. Mahra went out of the class with this annoyed look on her face. She spotted arwa chatting with a girl.

Mahra: ufff el professor hatha zft, may3arf yeshra7

Ghaya: wallah mat’3ayartii

Mahra: OMG GHAYOOOOOO!!!

The girls made a fuss and noticed that all eyes were on them. They quite down and calmed down a bit

Mahra: 5ala9 elyoom lazm we catch up sho hai el7ala

Ghaya: adrii

Arwa: may59nnii elyoom girls night nafs ayaam gabl

The girls exchanged number and made their way to their apartments. Ghaya was walking towards her car when she saw the guy she spilled her smoothie on and painted his white v-neck shirt red. She was talking to some guys and chatting away. It was her chance to go to her car and start driving without having eye contact or speaking or anything. She made her way to her car when she dropped a book. As much as she wanted to leave it and run away she was already close to her car but had to back up and grab her book.

Mayed spotted ghaya he remembered her from the other day and her troubled look when she spilled red smoothie all over him. He told the guys that he had to go. So picked up ghaya book from the floor and approached her with a grin formed on his lips.

Mayed: you dropped this (he could see that ghaya’s eyes were on the floor, fearing from looking at his face, she was very shy and he knew it)

Ghaya: thank you (she said it in almost a whisper)

Mayed: your welcome, so today no smoothie (he could see that her face turned red, just like the smoothie that was spilled on his shirt)

Ghaya: im sooo sry about that, rly I am

Mayed: its alrgiht I told you, the red is better than white color of the shirt (and with that he left)

Ghaya was beyond embarrassed. No more red smoothies when she in a hurry. She learned her lesson. She left to her house to freshen up and then drive to arwa’s apartment. She had this feeling that she saw mayed somewhere but couldn’t remember where. He wasn’t from around here she knew that much. She made her way to the elevator when she pressed the button for the door not to close. The elevator doors opened and there was mayed standing shocked to see her here.

PART 11

Back in the UAE, at the aiport…

Arwa: uff t3abt mn seira wil rada, o b3eed!!!

Mayed: arwoo bdaina 7ana, tara baredch elbait

Arwa: what im exusted!!  (as she said that he gave her a look that indicated if she doesn’t shut up he would kick her in the face) ok ok sorry

Arwa was the type of person that cared how she looked. She dressed depending on the situation and dressed good. She had this long sleeved top that had stripes of black and grey with a black leather skirt. She paired it with a black hand bag and a scarf with a hat. She had on these black high heel boots.

Mayed on the other hand was more simpler. He didn’t really care about how he looked as long as he is comfortable he would be good to go. He had this brown jacket with a white undershirt with black jeans. He paired it with brown shoes.

They where both chilling in the aiport, starbux coffee shop waiting for the boarding time. It was finally time for them to board the plane so they walked to the gate. They had to sit for awhile till everything got in order. Somone caught arwa’s eye. She had always valued fashion. A guy in a blue jacket with black vest and a white undershirt paired with black fitted jeans, standing with a ticket in his hand waiting for his turn.

 The guy clearly knew how to dress and she was interested. She looked closer to his face and noticed that he was Emaratii it she stared more into his face when she finaly put a name to the face. She recognized him immediately. Her face turned to different shades of red when she knew him.

Mayed: ohh hatha mob chana fahad?

Arwa: ha ummm… ohh yeah it is

The guy that she was staring at for some time tunred out to be the guy that she hated the most. She wanted to dig a hole and hide in it. Mayed got up and started talking to fahad. Arwa sat in her place and didn’t move an inch. She just sat in her place and watched mayed and fahad talk. She saw mayed pointing towards her and fahad looking back at her. She just looked away and read her magazine.

It was boarding time and first class members had to start moving. Arwa made her way and got into her seat. Mayed’s seat was right next to hers. She watched fahad carfully hoping that his seat wasn’t next hers. Thank got is all she said when fahad took a seat 2 rows infront of them. She was at ease and the whole flight to Canada she spent it in her seat trying not to walk around avoiding bumping into fahad.

The 14 hours flight passed slowly for arwa. The plane was finally landing when she got seated properly and straighted her body. The passengers started gathering their stuff and were ready to exit the plane. Mayed and arwa walked to the language collection and ofcourse mayed did all the work while arwa just stood their watching. She was standing minding her own business when someone behind her spoke

Fahad: ya3nii mabetsalmeen?

She knew the voice too well to recognize it anywhere. She turned around and saw fahad with a smile on his face.

Arwa: what do you want?

Fahad: afa, ana machftch mn fatra o chi et3amleenii

Arwa:  (she rolled her eyes) esalam 3alaik fahad

Fahad: chiii abaach (wink), o 3ala fekra cheftch etrak’9een fi 3rs rashood, kila ha 3ashan matbain etchoofeenii

After saying that he just left with a smirk on his face. He enjoyed annoying her. Arwa’s mouth dropped. She was hoping to avoid that part but fahad just had to bring it up. All the memories of him annoying her back in the day were resurfacing. She shrugged in annoyment and just tried her best forgetting what just happened.

Arwa and mayed went back home to settle in their apartment and take their time unpacking.

Mayed: tbain shay, ana yoo3an

Arwa was settiling in with mayed when mayed wanted to go get some food for them because they didn’t get groceries for their kitchen. Arwa and mayed’s apartment was a bit different then Rashid’s and mahra’s. For both their privacy they got 2 different apartments with seperete kitchen and everything but there is a door that is connecting the 2 apartments because mayed was too protective of his sister to let her live alone. He grabbed his keys wallet and mobile and left the room. He made his way to the coffee shop and ordered 2 coffees and waited at a table checking his messages or anything since they moved half way around the globe. He heard his order shout out so he stood up but that is when everything went red. All he saw was red slushy all over his white v-neck shirt that perfectly showed his masculine arms and chest. The girl that is responsible for all that action was a tiny person with short hair and cute face. She was so tiny that mayed had to look downwards at her. Usually mayed would be pissed being the high tempered person he is. But after seeing the girl terrified at what just happened from the expression of her hands over her mouth open wide, her cheeks burning red and teary eyes.

Girl: im soooo sry I swear I didn’t see you, I wasn’t paying attention

Mayed: are you ok?

Mayed just ignored her apology and wanted to know if she got hurt while she 

bumped into him.

Girl: yeah, but as for your shirt im so sry its all red and ruined, I swear I ddnt mean it, let me pay for the dry clean

Mayed: hhhhhhhhhh, its fine

Girl: im really sorry again

Mayed: its fine

Girl: I have to go, anyway sorry for all that

Mayed: again its fine really no problem

Girl: bye

The girl just left mayed standing there not knowing what just happened. The image of his face and abs that was showing through his wet t-shirt was stuck in her head.

Arwa was at the apartment fixing it when she heard the door unlock. She stood up and found mayed with this look on his face and his white shirt with a huge red spot on it.

Arwa: what the hell happened to you?

Mayed: it’s a long story

Arwa: I can see that

Mayed went to his room and took of his shirt. He just laughed at the situation. Who was that girl he wondered.

PART 10

They were on the couch eating while watching tv. Rashid’s eye lids were slowly closing. Mahra found him cute the way he tried to fight sleep.

Mahra: just go take a nap

Rashid: I cant I have to finish unpacking there are many things to do

Mahra: a nap wont kill you, and besides I can unpack for you

Rashid: la sho maba ata3bch, you have your own to unpack

Mahra: la wallah im almost done with mine so its not a big deal

Helping out and everything is what wives do so it was what mahra was going to do, after all she is a wife.

Rashid: you sure?

Mahra: yeah of course and you look like your going to pass out if you don’t take a nap

Rashid went into the toilet and changed into a pair of pj pants and a wife beater. He always slept like that. Mahra went after him with a water bottle in his hand. What she noticed from being his wife for a few days that he always drank water before he slept.

Mahra: here

Rashid: thanks (smile)

With a blink of an eye rashid’s eyes were shut and in deep sleep.

Mahra: ‘ya7laila ta3baan’

Mahra went on her knees and started unpacking his luggage. She didn’t mind at all. Weirdly all this was ok to her.

The next day…

Mahra woke up and directly went to the toilet to refresh herself. She put on a pair of shorts and a shirt. Wrapped towel on her hair and went out. She saw rashid on the table drinking coffee.

Mahra: good morning

Rashid: good morning, coffee? ‘why did she have to wear that’

Mahra: thanks I just have to dry my hair

Rashid: do you want to go t the store this morning

Mahra: sure I need to get some stuff

Mahra went back to her room so that she can get dressed and blow dry her hair. After finishing blow drying her hair she took off her shorts and shirt revealing the black panties and bra she had on.

Rashid remembered that he got a call from the university so they had to finalize their papers today. He walked to mahra’s room which was right in front of his. What made it much better, the room door was slightly open so rashid could see what was going on. He wanted to knock but he just stood there instead. His mind was telling him to look away but his body wasn’t responding. Mahra was stripped down to her panties and bra. She was putting on a summer dress so that they can go to the super market. To rashid it felt ok, it felt alright to see her like that. After all she was his wife, his wife so it was all 7alal to him.

After she put on the dress she tried buttoning up the 3 buttons at the back. But had problems reaching them. So rashid knocked softly and entered.

Rashid: here let me (without realizing what he just did)

For a minute he wished that he went back in time and just didn't go in like that. If you would stop and think anyone would know that rashid was watching her undress. He placed his hands on her waist then moved his hands to the buttons and took his time. Mahra could fell his touch from her waist rooming around her back. To her it felt so right.

Rashid: the university called and they want us to go their to finalize everything before we start classes

He said those words with his hands still on her waist and his hot tingly breath on the bare skin of her neck. Mahra could feel the hairs standing up and Goosebumps over her body.

Mahra: ehm (was all she could say)

After remaining that way for awhile mahra moved away to grab her clip and tie her hair.

Rashid: a7la yoom ho ta7at (with that he left the room)

Mahra decided to let her hair down and braid one side of it. She usually lets her hair up and doesn’t listen to anyone who tells her other wise. But this time all it took is for rashid to say it and there it was her hair was down.

Mahra: ready

Rashid: yalla lets go

They went in the grocery shop and started placing necessary things in the cart. Mahra was doing all the work while rashid just watched. She seemed in charge and in grossed in what she was doing. She was focused which he found sexy. The events if this morning was rewinding in his head. He leaned against the wall with a sexy grin on his face.

Mahra: would you stop day dreaming and help me

Rashid: sho darani fi hal shyaa2 ana

Mahra: just go get the bread mn the breads section

Rashid: 7a’6reen

She smiled and continued shopping for groceries. They were done and went back to the apartment.

Mahra put on the apron and started cooking for lunch. Rashid sat on the kitchen stool and watched her. Who knew that they would end up getting married. They were close once and then everything changed. They separated and then reconnected by getting married. It was all just weird.

Mahra: would you stop that

Rashid: stop what? im not doing anything

Mahra: exactly

Rashid: your crazy you know that right

Mahra: that is what every wife wants to hear from her husband

It was ok for her to say that, they both accepted the fact that they were married. What made it even more weird is that they were both ok with it. Rashid found it a turn on watching mahra cook for him. It is something he couldn't understand. Mahra is mahra, the girl he has known for a long time. He never felt this way before. Probably it was the married life getting to him. Seeing his wife half naked most of the time sleeping in the same roof as her would turn on any guy.

The food was done and mahra was setting the table. She had this vibe when it comes to the kitchen.

Rashid: wa a5eeran knt bamoot mn elyoo3

They sat down and started eating.

Mahra: how is it?

Rashid: ewlawi3 bl chabd (he just laughed, couldn’t keep a straight face)

Mahra: fine then don’t eat

She got up and took his plate from infront of him. Rashid got up and held her hand which she held the plate with the the other hand holding the table, making her trapped between his arms.

Rashid: wain sayra?

He said it almost with deep husky voice that mahra couldn’t stand it anymore. Her breaths were heavy and it was obvious. As much as rashid wanted to rip her dress he controlled himself and so did her. He let go of her and they both just sat down acting like nothing happened.
