Chapter 8

……: 3afraaa

I looked back to see 7amad

Me: yes?

7amad: you forgot your pen

Me: oh thank you

I walked to the door and before leaving the class I heard ….

Guy: haaa 7amadooo shaklik 7abait’ha … bs tra walla shaklha mb mal hal swalf

I left I had no interest in their conversation

I walked to star bucks to meet up with juju

We ordered our drinks and started chatting 

Jujuu: 3afoooor don’t turn bs fy wa7d yals y6al3ch mn 2wal ma dash

Me: 5ala ywaly I don’t care

Juju: 5aiba balach 7arajty tra he’s just looking ,,, shakla sar7an feech

Me: ma 7arajt bs goomy 5alna n6la3 inseer our next lecture … I have a feeling that it will be fun since you’re with me in the same lecture

I stood up and looked around I saw that the guy who’s juju was talking about turned out to be 7amad

The guy that I asked for help today morning? Ya it was him and yes he was just staring

We got out of star bucks

Me: juujuu it3arfeen who’s that guy that was staring??

Juju: mno?

Me: he’s 7amad… the morning guy?

Juju: looks like he has a crush on u ;)

I just ignored what she said and walked silently to the class

After this class I had 2 more lectures then I’ll be heading home

First day of uni was fun

I’m starting to love uni life

I reached home ate lunch with the family, chatted with them

Well actually I was only chatting with my brother 7amood since I’m still angry with mama and baba

The rest of the week passed by smoothly

And today is Wednesday

That means today I’ll officially be 5alid’s wife…

Today I will have to sign the papers…

I woke up went to uni I had my first lecture with 7amad in the class

Then I met juju in star bucks

We chatted a bit then while walking to the next class  I asked her to come over after uni so she can help me deal with everything

She came over w 3gb 9alat il m’3arb they were coming

I took a long relaxing hot shower

Then she helped me curl my hair

I wore a simple black Gucci dress with a Gucci belt

Since tomorrow is the big milcha

Today it’s just the family thing

I put on some simple make up ( mascara, eyeliner, eye shadow, blusher, dark lipstick)

I was ready at 7

That’s when they called me down stairs

I went w salamt 3ala ahl 5alid

Then my brother knocked the door and entered with the paper so I could sign

My hands got shaky

I didn’t want to sign

Maba atzawaj chy

I held the tears in my eyes I signed

Then all I hears is ahly w ahla iyabiboon

My brother rushed out of the meelas

A tear scapped my eye

6ala3t mn il meelas knt ma5nooga

I went to the back yard I sat there beside the pool

I calmed down then juju called me to come

Srt ylast w klhm barkoly

My mum had those tears of joy

Ba3dain galo ina 5alid w ubooh w my brothers w baba baydshoon

They came and 5alid salam 3ala ahla w then it was my turn he kissed my forehead then my dad w uboo 5alid kissed my forehead w barkoly

7amood hugged me and whispered to stay strong and the 5aloof salam 3alay

W chan ygool 7ag 5alid

5aloof: zain walla fakaitna mnha

I was used to his rude comments but this time I got hurt

We sat and then my father and brothers and his father left

He stayed and they started chatting

Then at 10 we ate dinner then they said their goodbyes and left

I rushed to my room and cried my eyes out

5alid’s P.O.V
