Give fate a chance 7

“After a certain point, money is meaningless. It ceases to be the goal. The game is what counts.”

Aristotle Onassis

I was the first to wake up the next morning..

I had to wake up early since I was the only one that had to go to the university.

Slowly, I tiptoed to the bathroom, washed then changed

I combed my hair and let it fall onto my shoulders, and then got out of the house

I was just about to enter my car when I heard..

Mi7sin: 9aba7 elkhair!

His window continued to roll down.

He was in his patrol, I didn’t notice him there.

Me: 9aba7 enoor!

Mi7sin: shaklich chinich min7asha laish 6al3a hal 7azza?

It was 9:30

Me: hahah la bs lazim aroo7 el jam3a akhith “awrag”

He got out of his car

Mi7sin: ee allah y3eenich!

Me: ameen, o enta laish 6ali3?

I instantly regretted asking him that, 7asait entay shaku?

Mi7isn: dawaam!!

Me: ee 9aa7!!

I was just about to get into my car

Mi7sin: 3ad et9adgeen .. 7ady mishtihy reyoog breakfast and brunch

Umm?

Me: ee walla 3ad reyog’hum 7ilu!

He came closer and looked at my car’s head lights

Mi7sin: a77 shfeehum elaitat?

There was a small bump near the lights

Me: eee wa7da 7arratny!! Waay lo ashofha marra thanya 3ady athba7ha iff tnarfiz

Mi7sin: hahaha enzain khalich min libnaya o goleely shisalfaa?

Me: hehe sorry, bs 7aratny anyway kan akher yom exams o 7ady mishta6a enny khalast o lama yeet

Me: haha madry a7is enna bnaya lo 9bay chan ma7a6 note o chan 3araf e6ali3 sayartaa!

Walla I love my car so much o I hate it when people are not careful around my car ya3ny it’s a Bentley,

Mi7sin: yalla 6awfeeha akeed makant aw makan qaa9id.. o laish ma9ala7tooha?

Mi7sin: hahaah ee lany zafha wela mu 6eeban minha

Me: ahahaha, yalla 3ayal ana lazim aroo7 bye

Mi7sin: yalla ma3 esalama o deray balich

He gave me a smile and turned to his car.

I left the driveway thinking about the reason they sent me that message

Allah yastir!

I arrived at the campus; I have never seen it this empty!

I parked my car and headed to the 3amada

I entered one of the offices: esalam

Woman: wa3alaikum esalam

Me: umm ams we9aly msg enna lazim aye eljam3a astilim awrag?

Woman: ee shismich?

Me: lama al*****

Woman: la7tha

Hmm.. my heart beats accelerated, I was really worried for some reason!

Me: mumkin su2al?

Woman: ee akeed

Me: bs umm shnu hal awrag o laish bs ana dazeenly msg? la shighil bil darajat?

Woman: 7abeebty e7na dazeen hal message 7ag el banat ely fee mashakil eb tasjeelhum

She handed me two papers: o hathail awrag etasjeel 7ag el9aify

I was surprised, why the summer course?

Me: b-bs laish 9aify?

Woman: ana 6ale3ly bil computer enich saqa6tay madat Accounting fa ya tqadmeen 9aify ya tan6reen 

laih elcourse el yay

Whaaat???? NOOOO!!!

I studied so hard for the last exam!! And I never failed a class how come I fail now when I am this close 

to graduate?

I felt the tears forming a lump in my throat, but I tried swallowing it.

I just stared at the woman in front of me wishing that what she said was a lie.

Me: dr mohammad mawjod?

Woman: madry ymkin mawjod eb maktiba

Me: ok mashkora

I walked out of 3amada and headed to dr mohammad’s office.

I was enraged! How could he? I know that I did well on my exam!

Uff, uhwa no3a ya36y darajat 3al mazaj! 3ady wa7da makhtha full mark bs esaqi6ha lana radidta mara 

aw sawat 7araka ma3jibta!

I knocked on his office and tried opening the door but it was locked.

I asked the secretary but he told me that dr mohammad didn’t come today.

There was only five days left till the summer course starts.

I have to talk to him before those five days, or I have to be stuck with 9aify!

I stormed out of the building, and sat on one of the benches in the square.

The tears started to pour on my cheeks..

I wanted to call my mother but I didn’t feel like explaining

I just sat there covering my face with my hands, thinking..

Ma ra7 atkharaaj!

Kila mina ra7 e2akhirny course aw sina kamla!

Laa mabyyy ag3ad bljam3a bs malaait!

Iff I hate this!!

El7imdla 3ala kil 7al :’(

Shraa7 asawy? Maly khilg akhith 9aifyy!

I’m not prepared for this!

Suddenly, I felt someone sit next to me..

La la plsss la7ad yig3aad yamyy!

I hate when people see me cry iff!

I slowly removed my hands from my tear stricken face

Before I turned my head, I wiped my tears

--: 3asa ma shar?

His voice was deep

I heard that voice before!

I turned around..
