Could This Be Love? 47

PART 47

Shamma was studying hard. She didn’t want mess the scholarship and then ask for help. She spent most her days in the library to avoid the disturbance of her roommates. She would come back to the apartment to sleep then goes back to campus study then to the library to study for her finals. She was determined to get a 4.0 GPA. She kept on reading and highlighting what ever was important for her to memorize with one hand and playing with the heart shaped clip on her hair with the other hand. She studied very hard and planned to pass this test. She went to the test room with her head held high. 

She was dittermined to pass it. Not only pass but maintain a 4.0 GPA. She was done screwing up this time.

The test was 2 hours long. She took her time reading each and every single question with her heart racing. She tried calming her self down it worked for a little but she was still nervous. She remembered 3abdl3zeez’s words ‘just don’t screw it up’. She was finally done, she got up and gave her paper in with confidence. She was happy with her test. She went out feeling good wishing that the results will be just as what she felt. Walking to her apartment she heard a small’s girls voice behind her complaining to someone.

Little girl: int’h gilt benseer, pleaaaaase ana aba aseer

She turned around and found 3abdl3zeez holding this little girls hand. He had mention to her that he had a little sister. She wondered how he treated her. Shamma knew deep down 3abdl3zeez was a sweat guy that cares but hides his feelings, she really wondered why that was.

3abdl3zeez: noufa mb al7een

Little girl: 3soooos pleaaase (she couldn’t say the Z properly)

3abdl3zeez just chuckeled at his little sister while shamma watched him her heart started to flutter.

Shamma: hi stranger

3abdl3zeez: so how was it?

Shamma: it was good I just hope it would turn out the same way as I feel

3abdl3zeez: u better, hal ta3ab eli ana t3abt’h mob 3al fa6ii

Shamma: int’h chub

3abdl3zeez noticed that shamma had the heart shaped clip on her hair holding her bangs at one side. It fitted her perfectly he smiled to it, she wore it which meant something to him.

Nouf with her tiny hand and fingers pulled on shamam’s shirt wanting her attention

Nouf: mno intii? (she asked in a very cute way, shamma found her very cute because shamma loved kids especially little girls she always found them cute)

Shamma: ana esmii shamma, intii sho esmch 7abeebti?

Nouf: ana esmii nouf, intii 3soos’s girlfriend?

Shamma: huh? ‘how does she know those things, she is just a kid’

She looked up at 3abdl3zeez with a red face, her cheeks were already in a very dark shade of red she could help it. 3abdl3zeez just chuckeled he loved what his little sister was doing to shamma

Shamma: la la, im his neighbor see this is my room and this is your brothers

Nouf: yes im very sure yalla 7abeebti lets go

3abdl3zeez: ok wait I gotta go change my shirt

They went to 3abdl3zeez apartment 3abdl3zeez went to his closet. Holding shamma’s hand was nouf walking, following 3zooz into the closet.

She could reach the cloths so that she can take a look, she stood on her tippi toes trying to peak into the closet. Both 3abdl3zeez and shamma giggeled the scenary of this little 4 year old. 3abdl3zeez picked her up so that she can see and pick which ever.

Nouf: mafi

She took the shirt from his hand and put it on the iron and started to iron it. He watched her, she never complained she was just simple but not simple at the same time. He couldn’t help but feel like that towards her.
