CHAPTER 15

as i was about to walk out of the room , i felt m7amed's hot hand wrap around my arm .

m7amed : lujaaain

he said in his weak voice . i turned around to face him . he had both of his beautiful eyes open . and he had placed his other hand on his stomach .

me : na3am

m7amed : ana 7ade ta3ban

he said and my heart got broken . i felt pity and sad for him  .

me : al7een badig 3ala saleh 3ashan na5thik il mostashfa

m7amed : la2 mo 2la

me : m7amed min9ijik ,,, ur so tired and i could c it through your eyes . maly shi'3il im calling saleh and i wont be getting  no for an answer .

m7amed : intay wayid 3aneeda tadreen

he said and as soon as he chuckled he started coughing .

i scrolled through my contacts and pressed on the name ' saleh ' then call .

saleh : aloo

me : saleh ibser3a ta3al shi8at m7amed he is very sick , we need to take him to the doctor .

saleh : yallah ana yaya masafat 6reej o o9alikum .

me : ok we are waiting bye

i said then i hung up . i sat down on the chair next to m7amed's bed .

m7amed : min waylich ra8ma

he said while looking straightly at me .

me : lama kina binsawelik surprise i took his number

m7amed : ra7 tims7eena al7een fahma

me : ur really sick and u find this more important than ur health ?

m7amed : eeee

me : la2 its not imp ur health is more imp.

m7amed : it5afeen 3alay lujain ?

he said out of the blue . i paused and i kept on staring at him . silence filled the place and our eyes were the only things moving .

me : ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

and all of a sudden , the door opened and saleh came in . thank god , perfect time and i didnt have to answer the question and face the awkwardness .

saleh : a7777 m7amed shaklik film

he said while laughing .

m7amed : chub o yallah sa3dne

saleh : inzain

m7amed stood up slowly then saleh helped him walk to the bathroom . we waited until m7amed came out from the bathroom. he came out wearing his hollister hoodie jacket with free city pants . he then grabbed his rayban shades and he placed them on . the only thing i did was ataaaanii7 3alay because he looked so freakin hoot with his messy hair . bamoooooooot min il jaaamaaaal ya nassss ! 3athaaaaaaab .

saleh : mishaina

he said and i came back to reality . saleh helped m7amed enter the car then all of us drove off to the hospital . they took m7amed into x rays then they transferred him into a room . after that , the doctor came in with the results .

doctor :  so m7amed seems to have a worm in his stomatch because of something he ate which then leads us to an operation .

saleh : olaa kil hatha bss 3ashan shay makla .. yal 7aywan inta shimakil 3ashan iy9eer chithe

m7amed : shadrane ,,,, kalait pizza bl 7afla ba3dain gabil ma anam sharabt 7aleeb

saleh : chayakt mita taree5 il intiha2 mal il 7aleeb ?

ma7amed : la2 ... laish ya3ni lazim achayik ?

saleh : inta mo mal  tig3ad ibroo7ik bl she8a ... lujaaain tokfain rij3ay 3eeshay ma3a lay 9eer fe shay .

i chuckled . their the funniest friends i have ever seen jad allah iy5aleehum 7ag ba3a'9 .

doctor : so , are u ready for the operation ?

ma7med : is it nessecary

he said and i could feel that he didnt want to do it .

doctor : yes because if that worm stays there more it will grow bigger and bigger and unfortunately ull end up dying . 

m7amed : i have no choice , so ya im ready .

he said and i sudden feeling of wryness filled me .  i wanted m7amed to be safe and mostly i wanted the operation to be successful  . a tear suddenly escaped my eyes .

i couldnt even look at m7amed my eyes were glued on the floor and the tears just kept on falling .

doctor : ok then , i will call the nurses for u so they can take u to the operation room .

m7amed : ok

the doctor left and the silence filled the whole place , my tears wouldnt stop falling . i hope m7amed dosent notice that .

m7amed : lujain

he said and i couldnt look at him because i know that ill burst out crying if i do .

me : na3am

i said in my shaky voice .

m7amed : intay ga3da tabcheen

me : la2

i said trying my best to convince him .

m7amed : 3ayal 6al3ene

i didnt want to , i couldnt . so i  kept on staring at the floor .

saleh : ana baroo7 il 7amam

he said and he left both of us in the room alone .

all of a sudden m7amed stood up and he started approaching me slowly . he then sat down infront of and he placed his hand on my chin , then he gently moved it up .

as soon as he saw the tears falling he started whipping them away by his thumb softly .

i couldn't hold it anymore so i threw myself in m7amed's arms and i started crying like a baby  .

m7amed : lujaaain shfeeeech ga3da tabcheen chithe

he said while playing with my hair .

me : kila minik *sniff*

m7amed : 3ashan ily 9ar bl 7afla amis ?

me : la2 * sniff *

m7amed : 3ayal laish ?

me : the operation

i said and i knew that ill regret saying it later .

m7amed : ya3ni intay it5afeen 3alay lujain ?

he said softly and i knew that he was waiting for my answer

me : ee

the door surprisingly opened and the nurses came in .

nurse : m7amed please can u lay down  on ur bed so we can push u to the operation room

m7amed : ok

and before m7amed stood up he kissed my forehead and said

m7amed : mara7 a6awil inshallah , bss abeech to3dene ina  u wont cry

me : i wont

i replied while smiling . m7amed laid down on his bed , then the nurses pushed him out of the room . saleh entered the room and we sat down waiting until m7amed will finish from his operation . i took out my phone and i found a message from taiba that said :

taiba : lujain u need to be in kuwait within tomorrow ma boga '3air 1 week for the wedding and we need to make sure we have everything for our plan .

i texted her back

me : ok then , ill have to make up an excuse for going to kuwait . ill pack my bags , but can u book me a ticket ?

within a few seconds i got a reply from her

taiba : sure , ill book u a ticket that leaves tomorrow @ 9

me : ok but taiba cant i stay longer in switzerland ?

taiba : no lujain .... u cant back down now we need to make our plan work

me : ufffff ....ok then book me that ticket and ill be ready by then .

taiba : done :)

and the chat ended .

* AFTER TWO HOURS *

m7amed still didnt come back from his operation and i started to get sleepy , so i decided to take a nap .



















" lujain " lujain goomay " a familiar voice said . i opened my eyes to find saleh .

saleh : yallah lujain rij3ay il bait o ana ra7 ag3ad ma3a m7amed

me : bss ...

saleh : mako bss o hal kalam yallah rij3ay il bait la2na today was a long day for u .

me : ufff inzain bss ya3ni ma 5ala9 min il 3amaleeya ?

saleh : la2 

i needed to c m7amed before going back to the apartment , i needed to because im leaving back to kuwait and i didnt want to leave without saying goodbye .

me : saleh im not going until m7amed comes back from his operation

saleh : uffff 3ala rasich il yabis ... ya3ni bachir ra7 itshoofena

me : .............

me : 5ala9 ok ra7 aroo7

i got out of the hospital then i took a taxi back to the apartment , i started packing my bags . and as soon as i finished , i went to m7amed's apartment .  i took a piece of paper and i wrote this :

dear m7amed , first i want to thank you for all things  u did to me . without u idk what i could have done . remember when i bumped into u in 360 ? becuase i still remmeber that and do u also remember when i found out that u are my cousin in the shalaih . good times . u might be wondering why i am writing this message its not to say hello but to say good bye . i dont know how time passed by so fast maybe because i keep on getting attached to u  . and i dont think its  a good idea to get attached more because i know that its going to be hard to leave u . and its already hard now . remember when u asked me if i cared about u today ? well that answer is yes . m7amed i care about u and i want u to know that . and i also want to say that i'm so sorry about my attitude last night i know that it was ur birthday and i shouldnt have done that , i never got the chance to apologize so iam doing it now . i hope u forgive me . i never thought that we will meet again but im thankful for coming here because i met u and as they say life moves on without me . i hope you liked my gift ! and i will never forget the memories we had here . good bye m7amed and stay safe

- lujain <3 ;(
