Cursed With Beauty (29)

Previously:

Khalid: It was pain and hopelessness that left me broken..

Joojoo: Saif and I are together now.

-------------

Khalid:

The doctors said that my leg was no longer working. For me to walk normally again needed a miracle. Drive? Forget about it.

Mr. Marwan visited, he saw me at my weakest point. He actually decided to bring Mai with him.
I wanted to sit up, but the bruises made it impossible.

Me: Esalam 3alaikm 3amyh..

3amy: Wa 3alaikm esalaaam! El7mdllah 3a salamtek Khalid!

"Allah ysalmk" I said with the breath I struggled to take in.

I once again tried to sit up.

3amy: Relax Khalid, no need for formalities.

Father and Mr. Marwan talked about what happened, but Mai pulled a chair at the end of the bed, and stared at me.

Amal:

I finally saw Mai.. She was a pretty face who didn't respect what she had.
She was such a baby face, but her actions were.. Not to be so proud of.

Me: Ahlaan!

She looked at me silently, got up and offered her hand to shake.

Mai: Ana Mai.

I ... Didn't ask??

Me: Amal, nice to meet you!

Mai: What's his name?

Why the hell did she come??

Me: Umm.. Khalid, he's Khalid.

She walked to the right side of his bed.

Mai: Khalid?

Khalid looked at me, red faced. Shy as usual, but what was I to do?

Mai: Khalid, can you see me?

Me: Umm Mai, he's not blind.

Mai: Khalid, do you see me?

Khalid seemed terrified. She freaked him out, but all he did was stare into her eyes.

Mr. Marwan and father sat in the corner, they didn't see the freak show I was watching.

Khalid nodded.

Mai: Good.

She left. I didn't exactly know what was going on, but Khalid seemed to get it.

Joojoo called:

Joojoo: Come outside, we'll go have dinner.

I told dad and walked outside and found Joojoo's car.

Joojoo: Amaaaaal!!! How are you?

Me: Exhausted!

She helped me apply some make up in the car, and by the time we were done we'd reached the restaurant.

We sat down..

Joojoo: I'm so sorry about telling you about Saif fel hospital, right now I'm thinking it wasn't a good time..

Me: As long as you don't hide it from me.

I continued reading the menu, I didn't the "Salma" thing to happen with Joojoo.

Joojoo: umm.. Then I have to tell you that.. Saif is coming.

Me: What!? He'll join us!? Joojoo!!

Joojoo: Noo, no no. He's just coming with some classmates!

Me: Uuugh Joojoo! If it wasn't you who's dropping me home, I'd be leaving! I'm so sorry, but you're just SO bad at timing!

Joojoo looked like she started feeling guilty, and it was time I remained silent again. We ordered instead of arguing, and as we waited, we saw Saif and his friends come..
