Suddenly everything changes 27

***AZIZ:

ok that was weird..

shfeeha hathy!! Mu chithy egi6oon 3umurhum 3ala elnas!

O hathy wallah ghareebaa.. elwa7eeda min rabi3 sara ely etha shft’ha kila alg’ha ga3da tkhiz! O kila 

tibosam o etsawy 7arakat

But I have to admit .. the cupcake tasted heavenly!!

At least there is one good thing about her.. bs ham madry laish sara trafij hal ashkal..

 Before I saw sara’s friend I was focused on calling ghala and apologizing and tell her that I love her..

But now.. I don’t even feel like reaching into my pocket to pull out my phone.

***NOOR:

So I have had a crush on aziz since the first time I saw him.. picking up his sister when we were in grade 

9..

He was SO HOT!!! I can’t even begin to describe!

So I decided to befriend sara.. in order to get closer to her brother!

We started talking and going out and I actually started liking her.. but I never forgot the main purpose of 

my friendship with her..

I always dropped hints about her brother but never really came out to and said it..

But after I heard that he was getting engaged I panicked and I had to act fast..

So I went to a place of an old woman a friend once told me about..

And I told her about my problem.. and that some b*tch was going to steal aziz from me..

She immediately gave me the answer ..

She give me a bag filled with powder and told me to combine it with whatever I’m baking/cooking.. and 

make the girl aziz was engaged to eat it..

I took her advice since I was desperate.. but I made sara eat the cupcakes I baked using the powder 

because I couldn’t reach ghala.

And yes if you all haven’t figured it out yet, ana si7art sara.. it was the only way I can order her around 

and make her turn on her brother!

I’m sick and tired of hearing her talk about ghala and how she loves her!

 and I’m planning on doing the same to aziz..

I went inside the house and headed to sara’s room..

I flopped on her bed as she got out of the bathroom..

Sara: hii

Me: ahlan!

Sara: I think I have bad news..

I sat up straight: shnu ba3ad? Etha mo 3an 3azeez maby asma3

Sara: la its about him.. he umm ghala and aziz are not breaking up

Me: SHNU?

Sara: tawa kalamta and he was like I love her o she’s the only girl he’s going to umm…

Me: going to shnu???

Sara: uhh.. marry

What??? NOO!!

He doesn’t know what he’s saying!

But I have nothing to worry about, my cupcake will make him fall in love with me for sure!!!

Me: hmm we’ll see about that!

***GHALA:

The days passed until it was the weekend..

My mother told everyone 3an ta2jeel el milcha so my aunts decided to throw a gathering in the shalaih..

Aziz’s family was coming and my family 3ashan ta3aruf since there is time.

He called me the other day telling me that he loved me and that he was sorry..

But I couldn’t feel the sincere apology I was waiting for!

I brushed it off, all that’s important is that aziz and I are on the same page!

***ABDULLAH:

Since what happened between me and ghala the other day, talah kept telling me things like “aziz khalas 

7awel tinsaha..” or “allah mu katebha min ni9eebik ebtelga ghairha”

Its like everything is telling me to move on, except for my heart!

I’m trying to convince my self that I don’t love her anymore.. but I cant fool my heart!

That’s why I spent the past days talking to dana and getting to know her better.. so I can move on..

I think I’m starting to have feelings for her!

But the weird thing is, everything dana does reminds me of ghala!

And I always feel guilty, as if I’m betraying ghala.. and dana felt the same too

Well, ghala made her choice.. and I think I have the right to make my own choices too!

But still the nagging feeling wont stop.. I felt like I had to do something!

Like I had to apologize to ghala!

And that’s what I decided to do tonight in the gathering!

My phone’s ringtone interrupted my thoughts..

It was aziz..

Baaih minzimaan mo mkalma!! Walah walaht 3alaih!

Mu 3adla nkhaly bint etfareg baina!

I pressed answer..

Me: halla wallah

Aziz: hala feeek 3baid shakhabrik shidniya feek?

Me: walla bkhair!! Bs fagdik!

Aziz: ana akthaar ya bu najem!

Me: meta nshoofik??

Aziz: elyoom baye shalaihkum enshallah 3ashan el … elta3aruf

For a second I forgot the reason that made us part for so long..

Me: ee.. ana ba3ad ashoofik enshallah!

Aziz: enshallah yallah tamerny 3ala shay

Me: salamtik yal 7abeeb

As soon as we hung up dana called me..

Me: halaa danaa

Dana: hala feek!

Me: shlonich?

Dana: el7imdila bkhair u?

Me: bkhair damich eb khair!

Dana: haa sh3indik el yoom??

Me: haha shaklich ma3indich salfa.. baroo7 eshalaih

Dana: haha waay wedy lo e7na eb London chan al7een 6ala3na!

Me: eee shftay shloon!

Dana suddenly got excited: laish mani6la3!!

Me: la yuba shfeech yanaitay

Dana: waay walla malaitt!! O maly khilg aroo7 zwara!

Me: la la te3awithay min eblees o ro7ay lizwara o wanseehum..

We continued talking .. wallah hal bnaya mu 9a7ya :p

***AZIZ:

ya salam walla lail7een mishithyy el cupcakes malot rfejat sara!

They’re so addictive!

3ad thak elyoom awal ma radait el bait sa2alt sara etha fee bs khalesaw!

Maku ella agol 7ag swair tgol 7ag rfeejat’ha tsaweely!

Elmuhim.. I was getting ready to go to the shalaih..

Wallah maly khilg!!

Yayny e7sas ghareeeb! Kilish maly khilg ghala o maly khilg abarerlaha elly 9ar..

Akeed ebteg3ad etsa2ilny malyoon su2al o mara7 enkhalis!

La7tha 3azeez shga3ed tgool!!

Hathy ghala shloon maly khilg’ha!

La la I’m acting weird today..

---

It was a long ride and we finally reached the shalaih

We were late!!

My parents, sisters and I got out of the car, and went to the living room where everyone was gathered..

And the whole time I felt nervous.. and a little sad..

I have no idea why I’m being that way!

I searched for ghala in the room but she was no where to be found *sigh of relief*

Lafait 3ala ereyayeel o salamt 3alaihum..

Ga3adt o kint ga3ed adawer abdullah.. makan mawjood

Gilt aroo7 eduwaniya akeed eshabab ga3den hnaak!

I got up and excused my self..

I went outside to the hall that leads to the duwania

I was humming to myself..

And my eyes darted right and left incase I see abdullah or .. ghala

As I got closer to the building I heard noises..

I turned my head and saw two figures..

It was dark and I couldn’t quite point out who they were

Garrabt yamhum…. O yalaitny magaratbt!!!
