Chapter 6

So he agreed, I didnt have time or 5elg to change. So offcourse, I just wore my 3abaia.
In the car, we started talking. "Kent barou7 ma3hum." Nawaf said. his voice was shaking. "With who?" I asked. "With Faisal oo Salman!" he started crying! Oh god! Seeing him cry tears my heart out! "Dont cry! E7med rabbik!" I fail at comforting. "Yaleetni mett! Kan a7sanli walla a7sanli" I got angry! "Dont say that nawaf! I DONT WANT YOU TO DIE! Dont say that 3ala nafsek, laish tgoul 3ala nafsek ketha?" I was kind of relieved that he didnt go with them. I know its wrong to say that. "WHY? WHY DONT YOU WANT ME TO DIE!" He yelled. I sighed, its time for me to tell him! "Remember lamma kenna nkallem w gelt lk shy? Bs mama 9arra5at w ma kamalt!" I reminded him. "Ee 9a7 eesh kenti betgoulin?" He asked. "I wanted to tell you that... Please la tfaker 3'ala6 aw shy.." I hesitated... "Shda3wa, wsh afakker 3'ala6 rawa3teeni!" This is going to be super awkward since its face to face, I mean lw kan a phone call ahwan! "I- I... I share the same feeling..." My face turned as red as those toms shoes I'm wearing. I looked down. Waggaf bnu9 elshare3 and laff 3alay. Tanna7 shwy. "Ya3ni..?" He asked, ybeeni agooul a hole jumla! ( I LOVE YOU! ) I cant, I just cant ma y6la3 men fammy! "Ee ya3ni ee hatha." I still couldnt look at him. "9dg? really your not joking?" I looked at him, laff wajha quick. Cuuute! His face were even redder than mine oo metshaggeg! He drove away oo we did not speak a word, both of us too meste7een to even look. 

Wa9alna. I ran down to Faisal's room bel3enaya, ajheza 3aleeh oo 7ousa I couldnt even see his face. My tears rolled down my cheeks. Tsannadt 3al jedar oo slowly jalst bel ar6' abky! My brother here almost dying! My only brother, best friend is leaving me! Suddenly, I remembered my mother! I ran to Nawaf who was sitting on a chair almost falling a sleep! "WHERE'S MY MOTHER W 5ALATY" I asked panicked! "Ee walla your righ weenhum?" He picked up his phone and called 5alty Mneera his mother. "Were in a room they put us in, bs ana w 5altek Salwa." (My mother) "Okay, ween bnjeek L6eefa and I." He sounded relieved, and hung up. "Yalla L6eefa they have a room here lets go see them." I smiled. For no reason. Just smiled. "Okay, yalla."
We entered the room, my mother was sleeping, 5alti mneera too. Even though they just called. But I think theyre too tired. "We should leave, Nawaf." I suggested. Though it wasnt really much of a suggestion. "Sure. Elli yray7ek..."
We went back home. "Thankyou Nawaf, 9dg I'm sorry enni ta3abtek oo abviously tb3'a tnam.." I wanted to continue bs I knew if I continued by9eer something awkward. "La wsh da3wa, a9lan ana kan weddi arou7!" I dont think kan wedda? "Thanks again. Good night." I smiled and walked to my room. "Good night." He replied back.
I entered my room. Noura and Reema are still sleeping with boxes of tissues stuffed under all of those blankets. I took of my 3abaia oo I was wearing a pyjama mn gabl. I unlocked my phone. 21 mentions. 32 bbm. Mu fa6'yatlhum. I just checked bbm mn barra. New conversation. Its Nawaf.

Nawaf: You really meant what you said in the car?

(R) Latifa: Yes... I do... Uhm, bs I have another thing to say..

Nawaf: Sammy!!

(R) Latifa: Nawaf I love you! oo mara7 a6l3 ma3ak. Fa the best way is this!

Nawaf: You made my year, beautiful. Goodnight!

(R) Latifa: Good night! ;*

This is the happiest thing ever! I looked at my bracelet and started playing with it untill I slept. 
I had the strangest scariest dream! I dreamt that I was being followed by Faisal holding a knife against me and I'm running to nowhere screaming and crying. "No Faisal! Your my brother your my brother!" and Nawaf screaming "Run l6eefa! Run bsr3aaa" He was chained to a tree. I ran and ran breathless stumbling upon rocks till I fell on a grave on Salman's body!

I woke up screaming! Nawaf slammed our door open and yelled! "GOUMU WE HAVE TO GO TO THE HOSPITAL" He was smiling.
