Normal? 35


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
