Part 30
Aisha:
sweetie what's wrong?
Meera:
Hessa?
Hessa:
he said he loves me
Looking
down at the table
Aisha:
Who? Saif?
The
sound of shock in her voice
Hessa:
yes... he said that I was too scared to get involved and the reason for all
this to fail is me
Aisha:
is he right?
Hessa
just remained quite not knowing what to say
Aisha:
it's ok I'm if you feel the same way
Hessa:
I just did not expect this to happen, I had everything planned out,
my career to focus on, myself to take care of
Meera:
I felt exactly the same way you do, but then Hamad came along and everything
changed, for the better (then she realized what she said)
Aisha:
it's ok to let people in, look at me look at Meera, you don't have to be
scared
The
reason Hessa was scared was because of all the failed relationships she had
before. So she decided to focus on her career and just have fun with men. But
when she met Saif everything changed, her mind set changed and she wanted more,
with him.
Meanwhile...
with the guys...
Abdulra7man: you two finally decide to make it, I need
these night outs
Hamad: tough having kids?
Abdulra7man: but it's worth it
Saif was quite this time and the guys were not used to
it
Abdulra7man: everything ok
Saif: yeah (grabbing his drink and gulping it down to
the last drop)
Abdulra7man: if you say so
One of the guys: you have no idea, the next morning
literally, she asked me to meet her parents
The guys laughed
One of the guys: I had to run the hell out of there and
change my number
Abdulra7man: I can't wait for you to get married and
then for your wife to hear all this stories about you
One of the guys: me, marriage, please, am I right Saif
Saif: yes you are my friend (having another drink)
A group of girls walked by and some of the guys
whistled and flirted
Another one of the guys: Saif you up
Saif: not in the mood
Another one of the guys: your loss my gain
He stood up and walked to the prettiest one and started
to chat her up. This was the time that the guys started to hook up and leave.
Abdulra7man: 3an ethnkm shabaab, I need to get back to
the wife
Hamad: so do I (he said trying to keep up appearances but secretly he really wanted to see her)
Saif heard them talk about their wives and it hit him,
he wanted what they had.
...
After
having their girls night they all got up and let their separate ways. Hessa
walked to her car and drove away without thinking she just drove and arrived at
her destination. Looking at the lights open inside the house, she missed this
place. Parking at her usual spot she walked on the familiar doorsteps and rang
the bell. He was at home and she slightly wished he wasn't to save her the
embarrassment. Ten seconds, twenty seconds then thirty seconds have passed and
she was about to run away when he opened the door. He was in his pj clearly not
expecting anyone. All he did was stand right in front of her with his hand
still on the door knob.
Hessa:
hi
Saif:
what do you want?
Angry
at himself for speaking up and ruin what they had, at her for running away and
leaving him heartbroken, angry at the world for making him feel this way
when all he wanted is to hug her and kiss her to make all what felt go
away.
Hessa:
I'm sorry
She
said with her eyes tearing up and tried to control it but it just ran down her
cheeks.
Hessa:
I was scared and stupid, running away was the dumbest I ever did and I'm sorry ... I- I
love you
The
moment he heard her say that his heart felt at ease. He waited weeks for her
and it was the most exhausting few weeks of his life.
