Chapter 28

 Eid came and nothing interesting happened
Today is the first day of eid
I had my white tight-fitting bandage dress on
And my red louboutin high heels
Did my hair into big curls
Went to my grandparents house
Salamt w chy
People started coming
And most of them said “ 3gbal manchoofch bl fstan il abya’9 f 3rsch”
I guess wearing a white dress was a wrong choice
Anyway I enjoyed my time with my family
At around 7 o’clock my mum came to me

Mama: 3afoor 5alid baymr 3alaich w seery wyah 3nd ahla

Me: mama maba!! Please !!

Mama: la 3aib lazm itseereen

I wasn’t in the mood to argue
I went back to my chitchat with my cousin
After 10 minutes the famous 5alid appeared
Salam 3ala yadoty w gom mama then he came and kissed both my cheeks and sat beside me

He kept talking with mama
Uff ma3arf laish mama wayd it7ba

5alid (whispers): our first 3eed together w inshallah a lot of 3eeds are coming

I just smiled
After drinking his tea
He turned to me

5alid: yalla seery yeeby 3abatch banseer

Me: lazm?

5alid: haih yalla

I went and got my abaya and wore it
And went to 5alids car
We got into the car
He started the engine but didn’t drive

5alid: 3afra?

Me: na3am?

5alid: ma tbain iteen 3ashan 7amda?

Me: 5alid u know what happens everytime I see her

5alid: just 6af her wla tra walla batit3been … she’s so lifeless

Me: I’ll try

He drove to his grandmothers house
We reached there
And he came held my hand
And we got in w salamt 3alaihm w sat beside 5alid
The girls told me to join them upstairs to have some fun lain il 3sha
I went with them
We were chatting when my eye fell on an old piano
I love pianos!!!

Me: allah piano!!!

Them: no!! don’t touch it

Me: bsmillah laish?

7amda: ha piano 3amoor w itha dagaity baseer azgra

Balaha hay chanha yahl
Ya3ny what might happen if he knew
I went and sat on the piano chair
Opened the cover
And with that 7amda ran downstairs
The girls asked me not to touch it and they’ll tell me why later
So I didn’t touch it
I just stayed sitting on the chair


5alid’s P.O.V.

3afra sarat way il banat
I was sitting with the guys
7amda came running

7amda: 3amoor!! Il7aag!!

3amoor: balach? Sho mstwy?

7amda: 3afra!!!

Me: balaha 3afra???!!!

7amda: she’s touched 3amoor’s piano

3amoor ran upstairs and we all ran after him

3afra’s P.O.V.

Me: are you sure?

3amoor: haih

I started playing the piano and singing
يا أمي يا غلا الدنيا ..

,,وأصدق عاطفه في الكون 

وأدفا حضن يحضني .. 

,,وأكبر قلب يحويني 

أنا بك دنيتي جنه..

,,وبسماتك مطر ومزون 

وضحكاتك ربيع أخضر..

,, زهوره فتحت فيني

إذا شفتك أرى الدنيا..

,, صباح بالفرح مسكون 

واذا غبتي عن عيوني..

,, يغيب النور عن عيني 

عشقتك والهوى طفل..

,,ربا في خافقي المفتون 

كبر هذا الطفل واصبح..

,, غرامه يسبق سنيني 

أنا يا أمي .. أنا يا أمي ..

,, ما أفيك مهما يكون 

جميلك دين في عمري .. 

,,وربي بك موصيني 

ومهما عشت لك وافي ..

,, بظل الوافي المديون 

لأنك روحي في قلبي ..

,, ودم في شراييني

And when I was done I looked at him
He was tearing
I wanted to hug him
Ksar 5a6ry

Me: 3amoor?

3amoor: itwalaht 3alaiha

Me: inshallah she’s in a better place .. w mama shai5a is your mother now
