Still running for what seemed hours but really a simple 20
minutes. My tears blurred my vision and just like that I bump through a hard
figure, which causes me to fall back to the ground. I look up to see a man in
his late 30’s probably but damn was he hot. I got all chocked up and just
froze. He handed me out his hand to help me up.
“I’m sorry, are you alright” he looked back at my entire
body making sure I was alright. I quickly wiped my tears away and I’m 100% sure
I look like a zombie walking this earth with all my eye makeup running down my
face.
“Yeah don’t worry, I’m sorry” I smiled and walked two steps
away just to find that I had about 15 missed calls from hind and 12 from 3boud.
I panicked; they’ll probably kill me for running off like that without a
warning. I called back hind.
“Heyy” I murmured through the phone as I shut my eyes
tightly waiting for the lecture I was about to receive.
“Are you alright!?” she replied rather quickly with worry, I
expected a roar of “WHAT WAS THAT ALL ABOUT” but I’m guessing she saw mohammed
and knew the reason behind my crazy reaction.
“7bebti don’t worry al7yn bayeekm, I’ll just sort out my
makeup and come”
“Ok babe we’re heading back to my house so come meet us up
there”
“ok bye hanoda”
Just as I was about to start walking I heard the stranger
say something but it wasn’t very clear. It sounded like “5alejeya?” I turned to
him.
“umm eeh” I replied with a raised eye-brow and then realized
this was completely normal which caused me to slightly laugh at myself. The green eyes, fair skin and light hair did make
it hard for people to guess where I was from. Never has anyone ever got the
right answer.
“It’s just” he was at a loss of words.
“I look different, I know don’t worry you’re not the first *giggle*” his face was priceless.
“I’m 3mr by the way” he smiled, showing off his perfect
pearly white teeth.
“Maryam” I smiled back.
“3ashat ilasami”
“3ashaat ayamk, I have to go nice to meet you” I waved and
walked to the nearest café to clean up all the mess on my face. That was weird.
Talking to a guy that handsome while having a face of a monster. Awkward, but
its not like I’ll ever meet him again so whatever.
…..
Hind’s point of view:
“Where is she” he looked at me with desperate eyes.
“She’s alright don’t worry! I told her to come to my house”
“Il7imdallah wain kanat” he let out a huge breathe like he has been
holding it in for a long time, I just stared back at him wishing he’d care for
me like that but that was just plain stupidity. He doesn’t and will never think
of me that way. I was just a cousin to him. A nobody. I made up a story about why she suddenly left.
…….
Mohammeds point of view:
After the rough week I had, nothing will have kept me going
and draw a smile on my face like Aisha. She came to London as soon as I called
her up a week ago and told her about the depression I’ve slipped through again.
Remembering abdulaziz, my brother. Every ounce of my being missed him. 7 years
of not having him by my side. Graduating high school was one of the last
memories I had with him. He was too young. Just a 15 year old who died of a
rare disease in the lungs. My tears flooded my eyes. Even after all these years
it still killed me.
“7mood are you ok?” Aisha put her hand on my shoulder trying
to soothe out the pain. I wiped the tears quickly and smiled to her.
“I am don’t worry”
“isn’t that the reason I’m here? I’m worried about you
7mood!”
“its just that you know” I tried explaining myself but I had
nothing to say. It was hard to talk about my emotions. Her phone rang.
“I’ve got to take this its mama”
“salmi 3alaiha”
“inshallah” she walked outside to talk to her.
Aisha is my aunts daughter. Her parents passed away when she
was 6, in a car accident that only she survived. Since her mother was my mums
sister she took her in and she became family. She was the sister my mother
didn’t give birth to that’s why I called her. She knew Abdulaziz the most since
they were the same age, just 3 months difference. She was also i5ty bl r’9a3a.
I sipped onto my coffee that was now ice cold since my
thoughts occupied me for a little too long.
……..
Maryams point of view:
I got out of the café and started walking back to hinds
house. I needed the walk to clear my mind that was already filled with
conclusions that get crazier by the minute.
“Maryam” he called out, breathing heavily. “Has anyone ever
told you you’re a fast walker * laughs *”
“No just in a rush” what does he want now. He kept walking
next to me. Excuse me but I need my privacy. I was already not in the mood.
“look 3maar *sigh* can I be alone please I want to
be alone” I stopped walking and forced a smile.
“3mr *he corrected* and I’m just walking with you because
you aren’t feeling well so I just wanted to check if you’re alright”
“I am, thank you now you can leave” I pointed to the
opposite direction.
“I’m only leaving when I know you get home safely! 3shan
at6man w ‘9meri my2nbni” he smiled and started walking. “yalla *chuckle*”
“Fine but I’m not responsible for the injuries you’ll get as
a gift from my brother *giggle*”
“Ouch she has a brother” he acted pained.
“b3aaad! What exactly did you have in mind to do exactly?
Charm me with some magic, flirt and then get my number” I raised my eyebrow.
“not in a million years”
“you’re a tough one! I was just making conversation * smirk
* I’m not that kind of guy, I would certainly not take advantage of a girl
alone, I have sisters” he looked at me and his expression was hard to read like
he was serious and a little pained that I would think like that of him.
“I’m just messing with you”
“I know”
“we’re almost there by the way” I smiled.
After 5 minutes of walking silently we have finally arrived.
“thank you 3mr”
“Yes! she got it right this time! Must be the handsome face!
*smirk*”
“someone’s full of himself *giggle*”
“at least it made you laugh” he smiled. “it was nice accompanying
you”
“It wasn’t bad after all” I smiled, I haven’t thought of
mohammed for the longest time ever since the incident. This guy sure has his
charms.
I waved and knocked the door to finding Arleen opening it
with a wide smile.
“Welcome miss Maryam” she greeted me with her thick
philipino accent.
I got in and just as I was taking of my coat hind runs and
hugs me tightly.
“Don’t ever! EVER don’t that again!”
“Promise” I hugged her back tighter. “wheres 3boud”
“upstairs he doesn’t know you’re here”
“what does he know”
“that you forgot your wallet and you didn’t realize you also
forgot your phone back at the apartment which explains why you didn’t answer”
“what will I ever do without you?”
“you’ll not live a second without me” she fluttered her long
eyelashes.
“th8a much?”
“e7iglyy” she smiled widely. “3BOUD SHE’S HERE”.
He sprinted down the stairs and slapped my right arm softly.
“Ouch! What was that for!” I rubbed my arm.
“for not taking your phone with you! Now come here! I was
worried!!” he grabbed me into a bear hug.
……..
Hind’s point of view:
And there it was again. All the love and care he had. I was
just standing there like a statue. How much I craved to be the one in between
his arms.
