Something You Stole - Part 17

Previously..

-- 

she was about to head out but stopped before opening the door..

"Fajer bagoolich shay.."

--

i looked at her worried face, and shot her a whats going on look.

"i called 3aboud.."

"annnd..?" Fajer looked up and her brows formed an upside down v, like she was about cry

"i-i think ba7rainy Sara is here.. w i think shes.."

"you think she's what...??"

"i think shes out with him now.." 

7asait nafsi 9gheera, o 7asait iny ghabiya ib shakil mo 6abee3i. 

"call the nurse." 

"laish shfeech?"

"i wanna know when im getting out of here!"

"as2alha lich ana, and i'll get you ur coffee.." she said in a sad tone of voice.

i nodded and tucked myself in the hospital bed, holding my tears back. I wasnt going to allow myself to cry over him again. This pain happened too many times and im starting to get used to it. I felt worthless and shallow, and as i began to realise; he's actually playing me, i dozed off to sleep..

Lets get out of the hospital and the whole "3abdalla game" shway, and take a closer look at what Shaikha's doing with her friends. 

The girls headed to Chocolate Bar il bid3 and found a good table outside. They made their orders and treated themselves with the latest gossip to fill out their time. Rahaf was the oldest (20) so her word seemed to overlap Shaikha's (19) and Maryam's (18) most of the time. Maryam was younger than the girls, but her inner thoughts and mature mind made her seem like the eldest. 

"Shayookh mino ily kan wiya Fahad ib Johnny?" she smirked 

"His friend 9ali7 why?"

"Bas as2al"

"Laykooooooon??;p" 

"Shasawi he's so cuuuuute! oo sha3ra!" she laughed

"hahaha! Rahaf yoozay!" Maryam said "tawich hadda whats-his-face.. take a break!" 

"Yam3awda hathi waaaaain ta5ithlich a break! haha, she cant stand being single for more than 5 days, which is just enough time for her to find someone else!" 

Rahaf burst into laughter, lo ay bint 3adiya chan z3alat 3al kalam, bs Rahfo here saw it as flattery that complimented her sharp features and perfectly gym-toned body.

A while later, Maryam gasped in shock and hid her face with her oversized LV bag, the girls were confused and asked her what was wrong, tears began to fill Maryam's kohl drawn eyes and she asked Shaikha to switch seats so she wouldnt be facing them. Ya3goob, her 21 year old ex, entered with his newly-wed by his side and found a table right behind Maryam and her friends. The waitress asked them what they'd like to have. "Chocolate Fondu" she whispered to herself.

"Chocolate Fondu please" 

"7ayati shino hatha ily fee marshmallows il abyath?" his wife squealed

"Il cookies?"

"Laa 5ala9 abi molten chocolate cake" 

His voice reminded her of so much, and like any girl, she remembered the way he used to shower her with love and attention, but mainly the 3 words she heard from him every night before she went to sleep. 5 years of "Maryam and Ya3goob" were just an illusion that they both lived through, but it was all over now, Ya3goob is a married man, and Maryam has to realize this soon enough before she messes things up for others, and by others i mean.. well, lets just keep it as a surprise for the sake of the story ;)

Back at Dar Al-Salaam:

Fahad went down to the entrance of the hospital to get something, and Lulu was ordering Fajer's coffee. It was around 6:45pm  now, and Fahad's dad was still the way he was when he was first admitted to the hospital, Fajer was asleep and heartbroken, and 3abdalla was still out with the Slut.

A nurse entered Fajer's room to check the IV and her fracture's progress..

Knock Knock

She opened the door for a man who handed a bouquet of flowers to her.

"Please give these to Fajer"

"Oqay sir"

"Thank you"

The nurse placed them on the table beside Fajer, but as she made some adjustments Fajer woke up and smiled at her.

"How are you peeling now meees Pajer?"

"Im in a little pain but im okay, thanks"

"Oqay good, and dis is por you" she pointed at the bouquet 

"wha- who's this from?"

"A man"

"umm, okay, thank you- oh by the way do you know when i'll be getting out?"

"maybe a few days"

As she headed out, Lulu came in with my coffee and sat on my bed. I reached for the flowers and smelled them as Lulu eyed them with curiosity and confusion.

"who are they from?" 

"I have NO idea ;s" 

Lulu touched the only purple flower and pulled a card out, "Salamat Fajer, hope to see you back on your feet in no-time! -F " 

I was shocked, Lulu was shocked too bas il ibtisama kanat shagga wayha! 

"Oh, my, GOD!"

"Who's F supposed to be?" i acted clueless.

"FAJER?? Seriously!??" 

I nodded

"it's FAHAAAD! I'm sure! I'm 100 percent sure!" 

I didnt say anything, I just looked down at the card and ran my fingers along the letters he wrote on the card, with a smile on my face, and a feeling of warmth in my heart.
