PART 37

Mahra was trying to work in the campus libarary but it was just to quite for her to think. She waited for an idea to pop in her head but there was no luck. So she decided to take a walk. She passed through a street filled with caffe’s and ice cream shops. She spotted reem in the window seat having a drink all by her self. So she decided to walk towards her.

Mahra: hi, you by yourself?

Reem: yeah

Mahra: mind if I join you?

Reem: not at all, so how is the coursework going?

Mahra: im slowly giving up

Reem: ‘you give up easily’ why, I made this courswork wanting you to imagine, widen your horizon

Mahra: yeah but I just cant seem to write anything, you said about adding a 

couple, I don’t know if I can do that

Reem: you wrote a good love short story before, you can do it, you are just metaly blocked, I used to be like you when I was younger, those days, don’t I miss them

Mahra: how did you decided to major in English?

Reem: its actually a very long story, i actually majored in meachanical engineering

Mahra: that is very different

Reem: tell me about it, I went through with it and was about to get my bachelors when I met this guy and we fell inlove. Everything about him just made my day. He would just make me smile when im down and I got to know every single detail about him, but then we never made it

Mahra: rly? What happen from the sound of it you seem so inlove

Reem: we were, and then I got married to another rich guy, I was young and stupid, I listened to people around me telling that love wont get me anywhere then I ended up loosing my true love

Mahra: what is his name? (mahra asked out of exitment, she was into the 

story and felt sorry for reem and what she had to give up)

Reem: ohh it was long time ago, so I ended up taking English and majored in 

it and not im a professor here as you can see

Mahra: you’re an inspiration you know that, I hope some day you find him, your true love and tell him how you really feel, he is going to come back to you in a heart beat

Reem: ‘bitch, that is what im doing and before you know it im going to get him’ I don’t know if that will ever happen

They remained that way each telling their love stories and one knowing more that she has too.

Arwa was taking an awful lot of time getting ready for her date. She was always the kind of girl that knew know to dress for everything. But this time it was different, she just couldn’t make up her mind. She sat in the bed devastated not knowing what to do. She was thinking to the extent of canceling the date. Just pick the phone and call fahad to tell him that she was going to cancel everything. Arwa was about to give up when ghaya knocked on her door.

Ghaya saw arwa on the bed in her rob lying with an erg to cry.

Ghaya: what is wrong? You seem like you are about to cry (she let out a giggle, she never saw arwa this way before, and that is because arwa isn’t the type of girl that would give up on her problems)

Arwa: I don’t know what to whear, help me PLEASE!!!!

Ghaya: that is a first, you always know what to wear, its your thing

Arwa: I know right, this is what he is doing to me

Ghaya: he? (she raised an eyebrow)

Arwa: I have a date tonight, and I cant decide what to wear, when it comes to him I just cant think

Ghaya: and are you planning in mentioning his name anytime?

Arwa: ohh umm its fahad (she said it in a very low voice)

Ghaya: and you were planning to just not mention it!! Does mahra even know?

Arwa: no, I just forgot to mention it

Ghaya: yeah right I know you never forget to mention anything!

Arwa: WHAT?? I just wanted to know how things go then tell you when things are good or bad, depending

Ghaya: you know what…

Ghaya walked to arwa's closet and took something out

Ghaya: this looks really good on you, specially if you let your hair down

Arwa: could you do my makeup as well (she asked in an angelic tone)

Arwa was getting ready for her date and ghaya helped. Arwa was glad that she had ghaya for all the help.

This is what arwa was going to wear: but instead if the short shorts in was a black skinny jeans

Back in rashid and mahra’s apartment

Mahra: what a day

She let her body fall on the sofa while rashid sitting next to it, her head was on his tummy.

Rashid: so what did you do today?

Mahra: I met with my professor reem, you know her right, she used to go with you in uni

Rashid: ohh yeah…

As much as rashid wanted to shut mahra up she just kept going. Anything small thing that had to do with reem he would just shut his brain off and not listen. This whole reem situation was over the top. He couldn’t take it anymore.

Mahra: its soo sad, her story, she chose money over true love, and she regrets it, I feel bad for her

Rashid: I don’t think you should

Mahra; why, I just belive in love and she seems to love him A LOT, he is an idiot for not listening to her and giving her a second chance

Rashid: I really don’t think she should be telling you any of these things, cant she keep her private life private!

Rashid just suddenly exploded. He couldn’t listen anymore to what mahra was saying.

Rashid: im tried im going to bed

He just got up and started walking towards the bedroom leaving mahra alone and confused not knowing what the hell just happened.

PART 36

Fahad: did you think for one second that I gave it to because I like you

Arwa: what?

Fahad: you heard

Arwa: im sorry but I have to go (she picked up her stuff and left)

She left without saying anything to fahad. She just got up and walked to the door.

Fahad: awa, ARWA!! WAIT

Fahad got up and ran after her

Arwa: is this a joke to you?

Fahad: I told you that I like you and you think that im joking?

Arwa: all the times we spent at eachother’s throat and now you say you like me? Is this a mind game?

Fahad: are you even listening to yourself. I like you, I don’t see you as a sister or a friends I see you as someone I can spent my life with and love and couple up with

Arwa: lets for one second pretent that this is real ok, you like me what if suddenly you change your mind and you don’t feel the same way anymore, then what? where does that leave me? People change their minds a lot, it could happen

Arwa was coming from somewhere, she has seen these girls at her school break up with their boyfriends and remains miserable. She didn’t want to be that type of girl. Mahra and her would avoid these situations and not risk their reputation over something stupid as boyfriends. She wa being a reaslist.

Fahad: if that would happen I would have changed my mind 5 years ago

After hearing that arwa looked down and turned red. She never expected him to say that. Hell she never expected for this to ever happen in the first place.

Fahad: choofeenii (he looked deep into her eyes) kaan 3ndii wayid wakt a’3ayer rayii bs maremt afaker fi shay ‘3airch

...

She sat there engrossed in the leacture while trying to come up with a story for her new assignment.

Reem: I want you guys to write a science fiction you could add a couple in their but do not, and I reapeat DO NOT focus on the coupe but focus on the story itself

The pupils started to walk towards the room when mahra approached reem uncertain of the new assignment. Mahra’s problem was thinking of a plot. She wrote from experience not imaginatiom. And reem knew this. You cant blame a girl for getting revenge for her ex or can you?

Mahra: professor, I cant think of a plot for this assignment

Reem: ohh ‘that is not a first’ I was planning on making this the coursework of this course. A whole story, like a short novel

Mahra: I just cant come up with a plan

Reem: you did a great job last time you can do it again im certain

Mahra: I really hope so…

Back in arwa’s apartment

Arwa went back home with fahad’s last words still ringing in her head again and again.

Flashback

Fahad: laish sakta?

Arwa: fahad, ma3arf sho agool

Fahad: mabaach tetla3wzain mn eli glth, bs 3a6eenii fr9a

Arwa: fahad-

Fahad: don’t decide now, take all the you need, and when your ready ill be waiting for you

He got closer to her and kissed her foehead. And with that he left. He left her confused. He left her with answers that she didn’t know what to do with or how to deal with. she spent all the night thinking about it and couldn’t sleep.

Arwa’s point of view:

What is the harm in giving him a second chance? He seemed like he changed. I just don’t know what to do in these situations.

…

Arwa isn’t that type of girl that would go out with any guy that asks her out. She didn’t know what to think or how to deal with it all. She was scared to just give him a chance because deep down she might actually fall for him. She thought about living 10 years from now and wondering what would hapeen if she said yes. If she gave fahad a chance. You wouldn’t know until you try right.

Suddenly she reached out for her phone and started texting

To fahad:

You wanted a reply, here is one. Meet me at x restaurant  on Friday at 7

She waited impatiently for a reply. She didn’t care if it was too late. It was already 2 pass midnight. She wanted a reply right away. She didn’t care what fahad might think of her. 5 long minuted later she heard her phone ring

From fahad:

You wont regret it :)

PART 35

A week has passed since Valentines Day and since ghaya got the knews that she was pregnant. Everything was fine but she hasn't told the girls yet. She just didn't know how to tell them. The timing was always wrong. She had to tell them sooner than later. They were already sitting in a coffee shop giggling when ghaya just blurted out

Ghaya: mayed and I are pregnant

Arwa and mahra: WHAT

Ghaya: I know I know, sorry I had to tell you just now, but to be fair I found out a week ago and hadn’t even told my parents yet, I want to adjust to the whole thing first

Mahra: im guessing congrats is the word

Arwa: OMG  I still cant belive it, your pregnant, your having a baby, maroom at5ayal

Ghaya: well welcome to my world

Mahra: la dont say that, inshalla everything will be fine, you will be a wonderfull mother and mayed would be a great father, im happy for you guys

The girls where shocked at the beginning but got used to the idea as the day passed on. They knew somwday this would happen. It just ook them by surprise that it came sooner than later.

As for the guys:

Fahad: mabrook, ha betestiwii obo, 5alaa9 mayood shayab wain n7n o wian int

Mayed: balaak emsawii esalfa chan’h 3ndii 5 e3yaal o mstiwi 40 sn’h

Rashid: mabrook mayood, allah eyeeblkm el5air kl’h

Fahad: 38balk rashood, shaklii 3ayal ana lazm aseer a3ares ayeebli 3yaal

They all laughed. But rashid on the other hand just kept on thinking what fahad said.

...

A week and a few days has passed but it felt like a century to arwa and mystery guy hasn’t showed up yet. Arwa was slowly loosing hope. What if this guy who ever he is, is the one. She has waited around, waiting for her knight and shining armur but her luck seems to run out. Finally a light of hope shined at the corner of the street that arwa was passing by.  The flower shop ‘marry’s flowers’ rang in her head. She knew that palce well enough to recognizre it anywhere. Finally it hit her, marry’s flowers was the name in the white card. So she decided to take some action. As some of you say take matters into her own hands. She parked her car and went into the shop. It was a small flower shop filled with varaieties of flowers, with different colors and sizes. Walking to the counter she found an old lazy with round glasses wrapping a bocay of flowers.

Arwa: excuse me ma’am, I know this might sound crazy but do you remember a guy buying a red rose in Valentines Day

Lady: red roses are very famous on Valentines Day dear, but I do keep a records book on the customers

Arwa: GREAT, im sorry to bother you with this, but some guy left me a single flower but without siging it and im desperate to know who it is from, its just like what I want a single most perfect red rose

The old lady was listening to arwa going on and on about this mystery guy. She liked what she heard, a love story. That was one of the reasons she opened her own flower shop. That is when it hit her.

Lady: that reminds me, there was this young man who came I here on valentines day who was looking for a perfect red rose, he collected all the red roses in the shop and analyzed every single one of them till he found the perfect one (she walked to the record book) and this is what he signed his name as (she showed arwa the record book)

The moment arwa led eyes on the recoed book she couldn’t believe it. From all people HIM?? She couldn’t understand what was going on. The name just stared right back at her. She finally left the shop with nothing except for confusion.

Could it be?

Fahad Al X is her knight and shiny armur?

…

Rashid was on driving his car but his mind what somewhere else. Fahad’s words ringing in his head, he would just ignore it.

When he got married to mahra, having her children and starting a family with her never crossed his mind. But now things changed, he could see 10 years from now with mahra beside him in the passenger seat and 6 kids at the back. A one big happy family. He had this smile on his face thinking about it.

…

She couldn’t believe her eyes anymore fahad? The guy that put her though hell most of the times they spent time together. This must be a joke is all she thought. She tried making sense out of it but she came to nothing. Her head just went in circles. She finally decided to text fahad and see what he has to say

Message to fahad:

Meet me at x coffee shop in an hour

She was taking initiative. She wasn’t taking no for an answer and she was determined to know why the hell did he send her this rose.

An hour has passed with arwa trying to imagine the scenario in her head and how everything will go down. The only thing that came to her head is all this would be a misunderstanding and then she could go on with her life like nothing has happened.

She walked to the coffee shop with her eyes scanning the people seated she finally saw fahad’s back. She approached him with uncertainty. Half of her wanted to discover what was going on and the other half wanted her to run for her life. What if is was all a joke and she would be pranked like she always did.

She tapped his shoulder and stood right infront of him.

Fahad: you figured out that the rose from me didn’t you?

Arwa: yes I did, and what the hell were you thinking? Is this a joke to you? Are you just doing this for fun? Haven’t you realized that we are not kids anymore? We moved on from praking each other? Wha the hell do you want from me?

She finally shut her mouth and took a deep breath

Fahad: you done?

Arwa: yes

Fahad: have a seat

He waited for her to sit infront of him and and with her sparkling eyes she looked at him waiting for anwers.

Fahad: did you think for one second that I gave it to because I like you

PART 34

He dropped his things and rushed to where she was sitting. Ghaya opened her palm revealing a preganacy stick with a RED positive sign on it.

mayed eyes just popped out in shock he knew what that stick was.

Mayed: thats  a pregnancy-

Ghaya: yes (she cut him knowing that he would say that)

Mayed: and the red obvious positive is a yes

Ghaya didn’t know what to say. Its not like being pregnant was part of her recent plan. Maybe later in the future, but not in this moment. A cat ate her tongue and she just lost her ability to speak. A hot tear escaped her eye. She just couldn’t absorb what was going on.

Mayed knelt down to his knees and whipped her tear away.

Mayed: its ok, this is ok, and we will be ok

He reassured her that everything will be good. And her pregnancy is not a bad thing. It was a good thing.

Mayed: kil shay mn allah n3ma

He hugged her and kissed her forhead.

The rest of the day was a little awkward. But the couple managed. Ghaya called an OBGYN to make an appointment. Mayed would join her to make sure that everything is ok.

They where both sitting in the couch watching TV when ghaya’s sweet voice broke the awkward silence.

Ghaya: mayed?

Mayed: (he looked down at her since she was lying on his tummy) na3am 7ayatii?

Ghaya: what if im really pregnant, these tests are rarely worng

Mayed: ghaya we are not going to prove it wrong, everything will be fine, we just adapt, I know for a fact if your pregnant everything will be fine, and we will love the child and we will have a wonderfull mommy

Ghaya: bs ma-

Mayed: mabaach etfakreen fil maw’9oo3 wayid, just leave everything for tomorrow ok, just rest baby

After an hour mayed was already asleep while ghaya just kept her eyes open thinking. As much as she wanted not to think about all of this she just couldnt help it.  It would feel different to know for certain that there is a tiny baby in her. What would this baby look like, her or mayed? She just didn’t know what to expect.

After all that thinking ghaya finally drifted to sleep. The next day she woke up to mayed holding her with a smile on his face. That is when she knew, what ever happens they will be ok. She got dressed and made breakfast like she always did.

Mayed woke up to the smell of an amazing breakfast. He was glad to see ghaya like that and not worrying about what would happen. It is true that this was not their plan. But if it came to having a baby they would manage just like how they managed with everything else.

Mayed: hi there beautifull

Ghaya: good morning handsome

They kissed on the lips and started their day like any other day. After their lovely breakfast it was time to go to the hospital for the check up. They held hands the entire ride there and till they walked in the building.

Ghaya’s heart rate increased with every patient was called out. She waited for her turn with no patience and an unsteady feeling. Finally she heard her name through the speakers and made her way to the door. She knocked and following her mayed. They both took a seat staring at the mid forties blond slim lady sitting right infront of them.

Doctor: why so tense? (She let out this laught that both of them didnt know what to make out of )aren’t you cute couple, young though

Ghaya: umm thank you

Mayed just sat there not knowing what to do or say.

Doctor: so you have taken the pregnancy test form the drug store correct?

Ghaya: yes and it said positive

Doctor: good, these sticks are rarely worng but they can be wrong, im not saying that you are not preagnant, to be even more sure we will be taken a blood sample

Mayed: when will the results come out

Doctor: we wont make you wait, by today after 30 minutes after taking some blood, the nurse would be taking blood now, have you eaten anything?

Ghaya: yes breakfast

Nurse: ok miss, please roll up your sleeve

The nurse inserted the needle into ghaya’s arm and collected blood into the syringe. After she was done mayed and ghaya waited 30 minutes in the waiting area. After these 30 minutes where done. They walked back to the doctor’s office.

Doctor: congratulations, its official your preganant

A smile formed on both their faces. After all it is a blessing.

Doctor: your blood level is good, everything seems to be good, we will be having monthly checkup and that is basically it

Mayed held ghaya’s hand and kissed it.

Doctor: just don’t sit a lot and not move, I want you to move its alright don’t be afraid, it being your first child, ill be giving you vitamins for you to take

Ghaya: thank you

And that the start of a family for mayed and ghaya. They got a blessing and their were learning to adapt to it.

PART 33

The next day arwa went to all her classes but paying attention to other things, she was looking around hoping to find this mystery guy or anything of the sort.

She went out of her class and spotted fahad sitting on a bench with his sunglasses looking as hot as ever

Arwa: waiting for someone?

Fahad: actually I just got what I waited for

Arwa had this confused look on her face she couldn’t understand what fahad meant. So she just let it go and started talking about random things

Fahad: so did you get that perfect red rose?

Arwa: matter of fact I did get a red rose, and its killing me, I want to know who it is from. You’re a guy, I want a guy’s perspective

Fahad: thank for noticing that (he said in a sarcastic tone)

Arwa: come on, what do you think this means? A rose on my car with a white car but no signature

Fahad: its part of the mystery, isnt it better to build the mytery first then show up

Arwa: yeah but its killing me, I wonder who this person is

Fahad: you might be surprised to see how your charm affects people; I gotta 

go see ya around

Sometimes arwa just didn’t get fahad. You might describe arwa as naive when it comes to romantic things. She wants to find her knight and shining armor.

Later that day...

Ghaya walked to uni feeling a little bit different. She couldn’t lay her finger into it but she felt it. And she just knew it. She sat beside arwa and mahra.

Ghaya: what is wrong with you? (she asked mahra)

Arwa: don’t get me started, she has been like that the whole day, she is pms-ing

Ghaya: ohh, you look terrible, im just glad this never happens to me when I get my period

That is when it hit her, she was late this month. 4 days late and she was never late.

Ghaya: just remembered I gotta go do something for class, catch up with you girls later

Ghaya rushed off and got into her car. She wanted to call mayed so bad but she didn’t want to freak him out over something she wasn’t even sure of. She got into the drug store and grabbed a box of pregnancy tests. She noticed an old lady in her 50’s shaking her head in disgrace.  Ghaya was annoyed who the hell does she think she is?

Ghaya: don’t worry im a married woman (she wiggeled her ring finger and walked away)

Walking to the cashier all she thought about was what she would do if the pregnancy was a positive sign.  After paying she walked to her car clutching into the paper bag. Her breaths were getting narrower by the minute. Finally she reached home, and sat on the bed for what seems centuries while only 45 minutes has passed. Taking her time whether to take the test or just ignore this whole thing, she hoped that this would be just a dream. Part of her wanted to drift into a long lost world and just pretent not to face this. But after all she had to just come to terms with it. That is what you get for having unprotected sex. They only tried not using a condom once and this is what happens. Without noticing it her body just got up and walked to the bathroom with the pregnancy test in her hand.

2 L O N G minutes later she got her answer. The result staring right back at her.  She didn’t know what to do, say or think. She held the preganancy test in her hand and sat on a chair near the entrance of their apartment. She sat there like a statue without any movement or action. She got lost in her thoughts, in her own world.

Mayed parked the car and walked towards a familiar building. A building where he always entred smiling. Coming back to his wife always made him smile. He was finaly done with his project so he could spend as much time as he wanted with ghaya.

Mayed: esalam 3alaikum

He saw ghaya sitting on a chair lost in her thoughts.  A facial expression on ghaya’s face that mayed couldn’t quite figure out yet.

Mayed: ghaya balaach?

He dropped his things and rushed to where she was sitting. Ghaya opened her palm revealing a preganacy stick with a RED positive sign on it.
