Chapter 11

3afra’s P.O.V

The weekend passed by peacefully after the party

And if you’re asking about 5alid tra I don’t know about him anything

So today is Sunday

I woke up took a quick shower and rushed to the car

While heading to uni, I checked my phone to find an add request

I accepted and asked who was it

I arrived uni and entered the class and to my luck is was crowded

….: 3afra

I turned my head to the source of sound to find 7amad waving

7amad: there’s an empty place here if you want ?

I walked and took a seat beside 7amad

Me: thank you

The class started and I started taking note

After class I had my break so I called juju so we could meet at star bucks

I headed to star bucks and saw juju an took a seat

We chatted a bit … well actually we gossiped

Then I checked my phone to see who was the person that added me

------

Me: oh, sorry ma knt a3arf

Me: juju asma i5t 5alid added me

Juju: ya a3arf she asked me for your pin and I gave her

Me: ay awamr thanya 6al 3mrch?

Juju: yes wa9leeny il bait f darbch

Me: inshallah 3amty

I dropped juju and went home

I entered the house to find my mother crying and my brother is ready to leave

I forgot to mention that 7amood studies in London

I ran and hugged him and said good bye

Then we went to eat lunch and he headed to the airport

I ate then went to my favorite place

My mini kitchen

Yes I love cooking

I got all my ingredients out

And started mixing them

I turned on the oven and inserted my molten chocolate cake

When it was ready I got them out and went to get ready

I took a shower

Wore my peace jeans and a black top

Wore my abaya and told rajo to get the car ready

I went down got my cake and entered the car

Off we go to juju’s

When I reached

I saw 3abood her brother out I guess he was heading to the meelas

Me: 3aboooooooooood

3abood: halla walla b 3afary.. halla bl 3roos halla

Me: la it’s for everyone … yalla imshy da5l

We went inside and I added the vanilla ice cream to the plates

When they were ready to be served I called the maid and told her to take it to 3abood’s meelas

Then juju and I went upstairs to start with our project

5alid’s P.O.V

I was busy with my phone when 3abood gave me a plate of chocolate cake

I wasn’t hungry

When he said mlchat

I immediately thought of 3afra

La la sho akeed jawaher 3ndha rab3 ‘3air 3afra

3abood came and sat beside me and whispered

3abood: 3afaary .. ta3aaly shway gabl latseereen

She made a sign that she don’t want

I guess she thought that I was one of 3abood’s friends

3abood: ta3aly ha raylch

Walla I saw her blush when he said raylch

She walked slowly toward us

When she came she stood beside 3abood

3afra: na3am 3abood sho tba? I’m tired to aba aseer il bait argd

She made a cute puppy face

3abood: inzain bs first salmy 3ala raylch yal baby

Me: haih 9a7 tslam eedch walla it was delicious

And with that she left and my heart went with her

I wanted to tell her don’t go

I went back home and slept while thinking of her
