CHAPTER 17

the plane finally touched down in k-town . i got out then i collected my bags and i headed to the arrivals sections . as i was making my way down there , i heard someone call my name out . a huge smile formed on my face , i turned around to find the one and only nasser . my smile disappeared by his sight.

I stood still and my eyes started to scan his features . Nasser has shaved his beard off and he reminds me of before of our love story that ended . it brought back many memmories , good ones . His eyes have the same sparkle he used to have before . Its like my nasser is back .

Nasser : 7imidllah 3ala il salama

He said while smiling which was weird

Me : allah iysalmik

I replied and my eyes were popped out of their places because i was astonished of how much he changed

Nasser : lujain abe akalmich ib maw'9oo3

Me : mo gilt gabil mafe shay nitkalam 3ana .

Nasser : la2 fe 7ay....

and he paused . Did he almost call me '7ayati' ? The last time he called me 7ayati was a long time ago . This brought back the bright past of us . Nasser seems weird today , weirder than ever .

me : umm inzain how about we meet up in starbucks bed3

Nasser : eee 5ala9 mita ?

Me : bachir il 9ibi7

Nasser : 3ayal ashoofich bachir inshallah !

Me : eeee

We stood there staring at each other and sharing smiles . i then got a call from taiba

Taiba : alooo lujaaain i7na ra7 nit25ar 3alaich wayid la2na fe 7adith bl 6reej

Me : ufffff mo wakta !

Taiba : dawrelich a7ad thane iywadech

Me : inzaaaaain byeeeee

I hung up

Nasser : 3asa ma shar

Me : ha .... umm la2 mafe shay bss ga3da adawir a7ad iywa9ilne il bait

Nasser : ana awa9licccchh

Me : laaaa2 3adeee .... ill call sara

Nasser : 5ala9 3ala ra7tich ! 3ayal ana baroo7 al7een ! ma3a il salama

Me : bye

I dialed in sara's number then pressed call

Me : aloooo sara

Sara : hala lujain

Me : sara ta3alay i5thene im in the airport

Sara : hawwww ?? Ishga3da itsaween bl kuwait

Me : rija3t ihnee 7ag 3irs fatima

Sara : shlon itroo7een il 3ers intay mo ma3zooma wala ana wala yadtitee ! Kila minich

Me : hmmm ... 5ala9 3ayal akalmich ba3dain

Sara was about to say something that would hurt my feelings so i decided to close the phone .

I sat down on one of the empty chairs there thinking of who could take me back home . The only choice i had was to call the taxi which was not a turn on at all .

While i was dialing in the taxi's number ,  i felt a shadow covering the light . I looked up to find nasser .

Nasser : mashallah 3alaich ma ta'3ayartay 3aneeda wayid

I shyly smiled then said

Me : umm la2 3ade ill call the taxi

Nasser : min9gich ... agool 9ikay il telephone o ta3alay ma3ay

And before i could reply , i found nasser walking his way out of the airport pulling my bags , i quickly ran behind me and i followed him to his car . I sat down in the front seat and nasser did the same then we drove off to my house . I was using my phone because it will be awkward if i sit there doing nothing . I caught nasser's eyes staring at me . I turned around and i smiled

Nasser : m7lawa lujain mashallah

Me : umm .. mashkoor

Me : shlon fatima ?

I said out of the blue

Nasser's smile turned into a straight face .

Nasser : zaina

Nasser : lujain

He said and he sounded serious this time which got me worried . It made my heart beat faster than ever . Butterflies formed in my stomatch .

Me : na3am

Nasser : shi9ar baina lujain

Me : i guess things didnt work out

Nasser suddenly stops the car on the side of the street and says

Nasser : why am i with fatima ?

Me : u chose that not me

Nasser : lujaaain wallah madre shi9ayir ib hal denya madre ana wain madre ana shinu

And suddenly tears start falling on his cheecks . i felt so sorry for him , really sorry ! il si7ir il fatima sawita ib nasser kan il sibab ib hal shay ! nasser ma yistahal chithe wa la ana . I wanted to hug him tight and tell him that everything is going to be alright but i didnt i didnt know if that is right but something in me felt right about it . My heart was telling me yes and my mind was telling me no .  My mind would usually win at this game but it didint this time , instead my heart won the battle . I spread my arms and i hugged nasser tightly . His scent filled my nostril . How much i missed it .

Nasser : you and i were meant to be cant u c it

Me : i used to c it but not anymore

I replied  while moving away from him .

Nasser suddenly leaned closer and he kissed my cheeck . He didnt say anything and so did i . We both stayed silent for the whole ride . We finally reached my house .

Me : mashkoor wayid matga9ir nasser

Nasser : ma sawait shay

He replied  . His face defined the word sadness . I could sense it . Now i was sure that nasser was free from fatima's evil spell . It wasent right for us .

me : nasser inta shdarak ina ana kint bo9al ilyoom

Nasser : ily iy7ib yis2al lujain

Me : ........

I took my bags and before i turned the door knob to enter the house . My phone started vibrating

Wb to kuwait  . I suggest u stay out here because i have prepared a nice surprise for u

-Unknown

And after a few seconds i recieved this shocking message from taiba

Ambaaaaaaaih lujaaaaain rakaan sawa 7adiithh
