“Mama t7seny agdr 3ala hal
ms2olya?” I
asked my mother out of the bloom.
• • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • •
“Madam Fahdah, Mister Fahad is
here, he says he wants to see madam Sultana.” Jen’s voice blasted through the
landline telephone
“ok thank you Jen!” replied my
mother, “yalah ro7i ejlsi m3ah aked mshtag lk w ana blbas 3shan b6l3!”
I made my way back to the
brown living room, but didn’t find him there. I went to the staircase and I saw
no sign of him..
“Suuull!” I heard my uncle’s
voice coming from my room
I have a super strong
relationship with my uncle, I still respect him since he’s my dad’s brother but
then he’s only 6 years older than I am, so we’re like close friends. I would
never mind saying anything to him since I was kind of the reason he met his
fiancé, and know a lot of his secrets.
Hussa is one of my friends
back from when I used to live abroad, and I’m still in touch with. I guarantee
you she is the cutest creature you’ll ever see; although she’s 21 years old she
still hasn’t grown from her ‘baby-face’ features, and not only her face that
is baby-like, but everything about her from head to toe is supper tiny. Two
Decembers ago, when I first came back home from University, I had a friends’
gathering at my house, since I missed them so much. On a chilly night, eleven
girls including Areen and I were sitting around a fire pit sharing our stories
from university and some of the events we went through. By the sound of AlIsha
prayer, Hussa asked if I can show her the way to a room where she can pray, and
so I took her to a living room next to our guestroom and asked her to wait
there till I got her a mat. I remember walking away from her, and hearing her
close the door really fast and following me, I turned around to find her
following me with a red face,
“eish feek?”
“fe a7ad already bl’3rfa w ana
fta7t 3laih!”
“3laih? Meen fe? baba?” I
asked her
“la ma atwa8a3! Ana a3rf
shakil 3amy!”
“Hw! 6yb t3ali m3ay w 9aly b’3rfty,
w ana ashof men fe!”
I took her to my room to pray,
and went to see who’s in there! But there was no one! So I went to ask the
maids,
“Jen do you know who was in
the guest’s living room?”
“umm yess! It was mister
Fahad!”
“What? Fahad? What was he
doing there?”
“I don’t know I think he wants
something with the TV or something, I don’t know!”
“Ok thank you!”
“I went outside and grabbed my
phone to see a miscall and a Whatsapp from him,
“um I think I freaked one of your friends…
lol ops :p?”
I decided to call him,
“Alo Fahad!”
“Sul men hee?”
“hw leshh ba3ad?”
“because shaklahaa katkooot!
Ma amzaa77 how old is she? Mu 9’3era 3laik m9adgt’haa?”
I laughed, “I know she’s a
cutie, w laa she’s 19!”
“6yb ra3yat 7rkat?” he asked
“Fahaaadd, shg9dk haa?” I
replied back
and just like any two -- they had
a crush on each other, they got to know each other, fell in love with each
other, and love each other a little bit more everyday. So last May they finally
became engaged and official. I couldn’t have been any happier for both of them,
she’s a great girl and he’s a wonderful man, and both of them deserve the best.
Each other.
* * * *
“ahlaaaaan” I squealed as I
fast-walked to hug him.
“ya haala b m6awl el’3ebaat!
T9dgen lw gltlk lk wa7sha?” he asked
“ee a9dg.” I replied all
confident
“6yb t9dgen lw glt lk as7bha
5la9 ma tstahlen?” he asked again jokingly
“laaa ma a9ddggg‼” I
screamed as our giggles filled the place
“6yb t3alii t3ali ng3id” we
both sat in front of each other and started talking, “haa shglty 3n eli bali
balk?”
“ay bali balkk?” I replied
back
“mu 3laayy Sal6onaa” he gave
me the wink face
“mashalahhh w hatha ana agol
bgola, athrk daryy?”
“yarb enah Faisal! Kl swalfah
3ndi” he replied back
“6yb eish elm6lob?” I asked,
acting a little pissed
“la t7mgen 3ad! Tdren enty b
Faisal ga3id b bait aboy Ahmad zay el doda, glt ajy aklmk!”
“mafe shay yngal, I said yes
enshala, bs ena we wont publicize it and nothing till I graduate, b ethn alah!”
I replied confidently, “b3dain what is he doing at baba Ahmad’s? I though he had
stuff to do..” I asked confused
“ha? Ee atwa8a3 5la9 bs ja
ysalim 3ala aboy!” he stood up and came to hug me, “anyways, mabrokkk ya 7bebat
3amikkk! Alah ytamim 3ala 5air ya rbb, don’t drive him crazy!”
I laughed and hugged him back,
“alah ybark feeek! Wala ho eli shakla byjanini!”
As soon as my uncle left the
house, I got a call from Faisal
“Aloo?”
“a7ad galk 9otik yrid elroo7?”
he ‘greeted’ me
“ee ktheeerr!” I replied
teasingly
“mashalahh 3amty Sultana meen
eli galkk? ha?” he asked
I laughed as I laid down my
bed, “la yn6 fek 3rg amza7!”
“6yb 9otk yrd elro7, w ‘97ktk
t7yy baladd!”
I never knew how or what to
reply to him when he sweet-talked me, like I swear I think my brain just
blanks. Stops working. Nothing comes up on my mind to say. Nada. I think a huge
part of that is because I was a bit shy around him around that time, specially
with all the new changes..
Again, literally -- B l a n k
!
So I always keep quite, fearing
that I might say something stupid or too silly that it’ll ruin the moment,
“6yb baba listen, klna b3d
bukra jayeen ok?”
“Faisal you should really put
this in mind, w mu eni I’m blaming you, bs I really wished eni agdr aswi milka
w Areen tkon hina! I’m doing all of this to please you.. I just hope you know
it.”
“I know baby, and I appreciate
it w I promise you r7 a3w’9k enshala.. I just realized that really you never
know if you’re living tomorrow or not, and so you need to do what makes you happy
and not waste a minutes.” He explained to me his point of view, “and don’t
worry about Areen I just got off the phone with her and explained why you never
had the chance to deliver the news to her yourself.”
“If you were here I would’ve
hugged you..” I confessed
“5ams digayg w ana 3ndk!”
I laughed at his tone, “ya
majnon! Eg3d mkanik bs! A9lan I need to sleep, I need to wake up and hunt for
dresses” I replied irritated
“you’ll look breathtaking with
anything on!”
“good night Faisal”
“good night 7abebty”

My mom informed my dad with my
decision the next day and he was extremely happy that he was marrying his only
daughter to his nephew. He called my uncle and they agreed on the date, time,
and everything else.
In the evening, Faisal was
coming over, although we didn’t need to talk about anything anymore, he
insisted that he wanted to come visit. I informed my mother and she informed
the kitchen on everything they needed to do. I wore my Sleeve Dolce and Gabbana
dress with lace printed flowers, my Mui Mui black heels, and decided to part my
hair in the middle and have it curled into big waves.
Jen informed me that he was
waiting in the salon downstairs, and when I saw him in a Thob and a Shma’3. Oh
dear God have mercy. Triple the hotness. It’s not
like it was the first time I ever see him in a thoob, but I was looking
differently at him that time, and when you look at someone as the person that
you’ll most likely spend the rest of your life with, believe me it has
a different taste to your eyes. He stood up when he saw me, and I slowed down
with every step I got closer to him. We stood staring at each other, till it
was too much for me to handle and I started staring at my feet. He lifted my
chin up and kissed my forehead, “one day and you’re mine..”
“I was always yours..” I
replied (count this one for me, it’s the first
time I say something cute.)
“officially and legally mine.”
He replied
“enshala!” I replied shyly
“6yb Mrs. Faisal AlX, how many
kids do you want to have?”
I looked at him with shocked
facial expressions, and he burst into laughs
“maa y‘97kk!”
“amza7 walaa!”
“Faisal tra ana ma abi yntshr
el5abar lain at least my last university year! Ma abi milka, zwaj 9’3er in two
years will do, bs hatha eli abeh lw sm7t!”
“enti tamren w ttdalalen bs!
Bs ma gltely km btjeben le bnt 7lwa zaykk?” he asked
“uff shklk ‘3l6an,
hina mu m9na3 bizaren!”
“ya zen elsamjen bss!”
I hit his arms slightly, “6al3a
3laik 7abeeby” I replied sarcastically
“bl’9b6! 7abeeeebk!”
I wanted to change the subject
so I asked him, “So to whom do I owe the pleasure of you visit enshala? Sh3ndk? Lesh
jay?”
