Chapter 21

I just hugged her and cried my heart out

I don’t know what happened then…

I opened my eyes to see myself in the hospital..

I saw juju and 3abood sitting at the couch

Me: juju..

They both rushed to me

Juju: il 7amdillah 3al salama

3abood: matchoofeen shar il  7ub

Me: il shar mayeek

3abood: 3afary ana mthl o5ooch u can tell me what happened .. even if 5alid is included.. inty i5ty w a5eed bawgaf wyach

Me: WHAT?!! 3 days? It5abalty??

3abood: look u have got fever .. and ‘9a36ch wayd nazl.. so ur staying ..

I just gave up and slept.. 3abood slept with me at the hospital since juju 3ndha jam3a..

I woke up next morning to find my maid..

Marry: morning apary

Me: good morning… where is 3abood?

Marry: he went to work.. he told me to come stay with u..

Me: ok

I just ate a bit and then the doctor came

He checked up on me

And left

I kept on watching tv..

I checked my phone to find 57 missed calls .. 3 was from mama and 54 was from 5alid…

I called mama back telling her that I’m fine ..

I didn’t tell her that I’m at the hospital 3ashan mat7aty..

Then checked my bbm..

I saw add requests from  5alid’s cousins and I accepted them..

I wasn’t ready to read what 5alid wrote so I didn’t open the chat…

I talked with the girls telling them that I’m fine..

Then juju barged into my hospital suite…

Juju: uff ma ystwy argd here bdalch winty itseereen??

Me: well akeed ystwy..  let’s change places

Juju: hhhh.. btw 7amad was asking about u ;)… y7bch il walad

Me: no .. I’m ignoring him..

Juju: a7san..

We kept on chatting

Then 3abood came with MacDonald in his hands

I ate shway 3ashan 3abood mskeen he got it 3ashany

We chatted then 3abood left 3ashan yseer il meelas 3nd rab3a…

5aloof my brother came to check on me

W he got me flowers

The rest of the 2 days were somehow the same…

Today I’m leaving the hospital

Yaaay…

Juju and 3abood dropped me home

I went to my room and took a showered and changed my clothe

I wore my juicy training pants and a shirt

And went to sit down…
