Cursed With Beauty (21)

Khalid:

It was a mess.. Though Mr. Marwan was silent, there was a vibe of rage & tension. Mr. Marwan was a part of the higher class society we both came from, unfortunately Mai failed to represent it..

I didn't want to judge Mai, I don't know why she is the way she is.. It makes it almost unfair for me to choose exactly what I should be thinking of her.
I just wondered how a girl in her situation, stitched and bruised would be thinking of hooking up at that time.

Mr. Marwan and Mai quietly walked out of the coffee shop..

Amal:

I was sent back home after I exhausted myself of crying..

"I'm tired. It hurts, I just cannot handle it."

I kept repeating this sentence to the nurse, who thought I was talking about my physical state, when I actually knew that I was tired emotionally.
It did hurt to see him in pain. And I couldn't handle facing S3eed & Saif again.

Bakc at home, in bed with baby 3oshah sleeping beside me.. I cried & prayed all for Kovu, I just wanted him to be okay.

I flipped my phone out, just to stop the over thinking. I tweeted, I tweeted like I never did before. Right after blocking Saif and all his drama.

I heard a knock, & Joojoo came in..

She ran towards me and hugged me, & I wished she'd never let go.

Joojoo: I heard about your breakdown, I'm so sorry I wasn't there for you!!

I cried even more when she said that, I've been pushing myself away from everyone, secretly I didn't want anyone to get used to me.
I didn't want to have friends just because I had trust issues.

Me: Joojoo, it's been weeks but, you have to know this, I can't keep it in much longer!

I told her about everything that happened.. Saif, S3eed, Kovu, even meeting 7amad. That morning, the fight. Everything.

Girls sometimes don't need therapists, they just need their best friends.. To stand against the world, they always need someone to help them up.


Mama Hamda called out for lunch, Khalid was already seated with his face directly on the table..

I started laughing as I sat down and Joojoo sat beside me. Baby 3osha was in her stroller between me and Joojoo.

Me: What happened?

Khalid: I have no idea, I really don't.

He lifted his head and saw Joojoo.
Khalid's always been shy from girls, so he sat quietly.

We had lunch & Joojoo had to go back home after that.. So I sat with Khalid in the living room..

Khalid: Amal I need your help, I seriously don't know what to do..

Amal: .About what?

Khalid: Remember Aisha? From the beach day?

Amal: Oh.. Yeah?

He told me all that happened..

Khalid:

I thought Amal could help, I was too lost, I couldn't do it alone..

Amal: Leave it to me, Ok? Tomorrow you apologize to Mr. Marwan..

Apologize!? Did she not listen? I didn't do anything!!

Me: How do I apologize!? And why?
