Can we just be us? Part 30

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.
