Normal? 37

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.
