CHAPTER 20

i slowly opened the door of the shalaih and i escaped . 7imdillah no one saw me . i ran as fast as i could to the address that jasim gave me and after few min i reached . i was waiting out of the deywania but jasim texted me to enter . as soon as i entered i was surprised to c FAISEL . i stood there frozen + i was shaking . faisel had a confused look on his face .

 

 

jasim : guys this is my gf muneera .

 

jasim's friends : hi 

 

i knew that from the  moment that jasim called me his girlfriend  this would be the last time i would c him again . tears were running out of my eyes . faisel had the mad look on his face. jasim was confused .

 

jasim : muneera shfeech ?

 

me : i have to go now . 

 

i ran as fast as i could back to the shalaih . i sat in the room alone crying my eyes out . 

 

*KNOCK*   *KNOCK* *KNOCK*

 

faisel : muneera fechay el bab . (mad tone)

 

i was scared to death . i was shaking alot . my heart was beating fast . my eyes cant stop crying. i opened the door . then faisel slapped me hard .  it hurts . but what hurts the most is that faisel wont trust me anymore.

 

faisel : muneera how can u do this . i trusted u with all my heart . i thought that u were a good girl . u dont do these things . but i was wrong . 

 

words couldnt come out of my mouth but my eyes were speaking . faisel grabbed the phone from my bed . 

 

faisel : did u c this phone ? u will never c it again . and what happened before a while will stay between us only . my mother wont know about it .  

 

after that , faisel stormed out of the room . i was left alone in the bed thinking what will happen now . i was sure that the love story jasim and i had ended today . i stayed up all night crying . i didnt get the chance to sleep because i keep on thinking  about the future . the sun rised and it was 8:00 . we are leaving back home . i wipped my tears away and i smiled to cover up the pain. i went to take my bag down stairs . 

lulu : gm 

 

me : gm 

 

yara : last night we didnt c u .

 

asouma : ee wain kentay .

 

me : i wasent feeling well so i slept in the other room .

 

asouma : muneera whats wrong with ur eyes they are  red  .

 

me : when i get sick they turn red .

 

asouma : salamat .

 

i took my things downstairs and i entered the car . yara + asouma + lulu kept on talking and laughing and  i was just looking out of the window and thinking . they knew that something was wrong with me . after several min i reached home . i entered the house and found my mom sitting .

 

mom : al salam 3alikum shlonech muneera estanastaw ?

 

me : ee wayed 

 

mom : shfee 3yonech ?

 

me : mafeehum shay 

 

mom : embala 

 

she held my face and she started looking at my eyes.

 

me : e3yoone et9eer cthee lama akoon maree'9a

 

faisel was staring at me . he knew that i wasent sick . he knew that my eyes were red when i cry alot . 

 mom : tabeen awadech el 6abeeb ?

 me : la2 mashkoora . ana al7een abee aroo7 anam .   

 

as i was walking up the stairs i could hear my mom telling faisel 

 

mom : shfeeha muneera ?

 

faisel : mafeeha shay . 

 

mom : met2aked .

 

faisel : ee met2aked .

 

 

i went up to my room and i closed the door . i laid on my bed staring at the ceiling .the only thing that i have left from jasim are memories .
