A9lan Ana Majnouunak (33)

A7ibkoum kelekom. Thank you so much for your support! I love you and always will xx Here's an extra long post:

Previously:

We headed back up to our rooms and packed our bags. I left out the essential stuff I'm going to be needing for tomorrow.

I wore my comfy Hello Kitty PJ's and slipped under the covers.

I brushed my hair and thought for a while about Na9er.

Shasawee feeh hal walaad? Mahma yegouloun, mahma, 9aar mahma taam... Enta el bedayat, wakher sa7el ou meena!

****************

I felt vibration under my pillow. Grunting, I stuffed my face into the pillow, and slipped my hands under to check my phone.

Na9er calling.

I threw my phone back under my pillow and closed my eyes tightly.

*************

"Jaay! Yala wake up! It's our last day here..!" said Jude softly.

"Yala ya 7elwe! 9abaa7 el kheer!" said Dee in a Lebanese accent.

"Mmm.. okaay.. Fee zuwarraa?" I grunted.

"Not that I know of, yala 6ala3tlech your heels and dress.. entay bas goumay ghaslaayy ou nsa3dech!" said Dee.

"Enshaalah, enshalaah.." I said softly. I threw the covers off of myself and dragged myself to the bathroom.

I brushed my teeth ou ghassalt wayhee.. I took a quick shower and slipped into my dress.

*************

"Elsalaam 3alaiikum!" I said as I entered el Duwaneyya.

Everyone greeted us back.

Shockingly, Mi7sen was there.. Perfectly 3ala hay2etah ga3d yam 3amii 3abdulah, yesoulef weyah ou yeshrab chayy..

I threw a quick glance at Jude. She was already staring at him.

Ga3adna kelena, ou soulafna, had a great time.. 6ab3an Jude Ou Mi7sen couldn't stop stealing glances at each other..! It was adorable really..

Na9er mar 3ala balyy.. it hurt, it really did.. Chithe ya Na9er 6ela3t? Walla ine-

3ami 3abdulla interrupted my thoughts, "Yala tefa'6elaw 3al ghadda ya jema33a.. Emshaw khansali el 3a9er bel awwal.." He said to the guys.

I headed upstairs to freshen up.

14 miss calls.

3 messages.

5 BBMs.

Most of the miss calls were from Na9er, a couple from my other friends..

I opened one of the messages.

"Pick up!"

"Joory.. yam3awda wala 7agech 3alaii

3ala kel ely sawaiitah.. ana asef 3ala

ely 9ar.. manii 3aref shagoulech ana!

I'm willing to do anything you want

me to do ine aratheech..

Please rideely khabbar.

Sincerely, the love of your life."

Both were from Na9er.. as I read the messages, I heard his voice saying the words he wrote..

Did he really mean it, though?

I opened the third message..

Urgh, da3aya!

Gelt 7ag Jude ou Dalia 3an el messajaat.. Galouli a7geraa.. Ou ena ely sawaah mou shuwaiya!

I was hesitant.. I'm not willing to give all of this up and throw it in the trash..

****************

We had lunch, and 7amoud came with his dad.. It was good seeing him.. He seemed fine, ou ertaa7 galbi ib shouftaah..

After lunch, however, Jude was washing up .. I walked towards her to wash my hands..

She looked at me and smiled, "It's going to be alright honey.."

I shook my head and looked at myself in the mirror.

"I don't know.. I'm not willing to give up everything this fast.."

Jude was silent for a second. She picked up a towel and slowly dried her hands as she was thinking..

"What you really need is closure," she suggested.

"You think so?" I lifted an eyebrow.

Jude winked, "I know so!" She placed the towel in the hamper and handed me a towel and kissed me slightly on my cheek.

I smiled and looked back.

Surprisingly, Mi7sen was right there, leaning against the wall and smiling.

I shot a glance at Jude and gave her a mysterious smile, "So, um, I'm leaving now.." I said awkwardly and left the two love birds alone.

Dakhalt ghurfat el esteqbaal.. everyone was there.

I sat down in a sofa by myself. I took my time, ou adri inee tana7t wana ga3da afaker, bas I decided to see Na9er and tell him how I feel about everything, and simply walk away.. Yep, that's going to be my closure..

Suddenly, someone plopped down next to me.

I jerked my head to my right, it was 7amoud..

I smiled.. He smiled back, revealing his perfect white pearl teeth..

I looked away and drifted away ma3a elsouwalif..

********************

3:45pm

Starbucks, man6u8a el 7urra.

Many months later..

I sat down and took a big sniff into my skimmed vanilla latte.. It smelt amazing!

Jude was sitting right next to me..

"So, Mi7sen galy elyouum raye7 elshalaaih.. Wayy Joory! Remember? Wala chena ams youm kena in6el 3ala ta7at we spy on him.. Wala elayyam tarketh!"

I smiled and nodded. It's been months, since I ever talked to Na9er.

It killed. Many sleepless nights, sobbing, and crying myself to sleep.

Yeah, it was hard on me.. But I eventually got over it.

I took a deep breath, and sipped my perfect scented latte.

******************

8:01pm

Bedroom.

It's been a long time since I've talked to 7amoud, I miss him.. really bad.

Wayd teghayar 3alaii.. magam yedig.. magam yes2aal..

I was positive he fell in love with a girl, because I constantly find another line he was talking to, it was ridiculous.

So I decided to back off..

I shuddered off my thoughts and opened my laptop, and TV to watch Friends.

I paused the video, and decided to make popcorn and get me a diet coke.

Rushing down the stairs, I opened the fridge door and got out a diet coke. I popped in the microwavable popcorn in the microwave, and went to my mother's room.

Ge3adt weyaha shuwaiiya, she said ena kan waraii 3ers in a few days..

I smiled, I love going to weddings.. Such a happy enviroment.. What's not to love? Music? Check. Dancing? Check. Yummy food? Check. Happiness? Most definitely check!

I jogged back to the kitchen and got out a bowl.. Fathait el popcorn dakhel el bowl.

I had a quick flashback..

~~

"Shhhhh!" giggled Dalia. "Betga3doun Khalti ou 3amii men elnouum!"

The microwave kept on beeping and making the silly sounds it usually makes.

This made us giggle even harder.

Jude came in. She gasped, "Ya7mara! Jooreyoo! Lail7een mabadaltay?! Tarra Na9er gall two minutes wuhwa barra!"

"Shit!" My eyes widened. "Esa3a cham al7een?!"

"3 a.m.. Yallaaa Joory!" Whined Jude.

"Okay.. Okay.." I said and looked at Dalia.

6ab3an Dalia 8amta eltha7ka, ou wayeha kan film! She bursted into laughter and started to throw popcorn seeds on me.

"A77 YA7MARA! Tara 7aaaaaar!" I screamed and lunged towards her to attack her.

Dalia laughed even harder.

"Ya chlabaaaaa! Ebyeg3edoooooon!" Jude kept on te7el6iming..

Ayaam kam 3eshnaha.. Ya ma7lahaaa!
