My face turned red

But I tried to look the other side

To avoid eye contact

We paid and left the restaurant

While walking to the car I kept on thinking of 7amood

I’ve been trying to call him since yesterday and he’s not answering

And his blackberry is off

Khalid asked me what’s wrong but I said nothing

We entered the car

He started the engine but didn’t drive

I turned to look at him

He was staring at me

Me: what’s wrong? Why aren’t you driving?

5alid: ma bat7arak lain matgooleenly what’s wrong?

Me: nothing .. yalla lets go

I turned my face to the window

He held my face and turned it to make me look at him

Our eyes met

Me: bs … bs ana ma feeny shay
