Cursed With Beauty (36)


Previously:

Khalid: Mai called me telling me she wanted to postpone the wedding..

Joojoo: No one can replace Saif's place in my heart!

Saif: You might as well be her boyfriend. You care more than I do.

Dr: Now the hospital has some news for you..
--------------------
Amal:

They were the last days of school that only included being given the report cards and making the best of it.
It was the time seniors pulled pranks on the teachers and made the juniors promise to do the same.

Many cried about leaving, but all I thought about was how stupid they were for crying about being freed from hell.
It was a hot day but my hands were freezing from being placed under the air conditioner.. I left class for lunch and as I walked, my hand suddenly got warmer..

It was Kovu sitting on one of the tables looking straight at me. I held my hands together showing him that if it was possible, I'd be holding his hands aswell..

Kovu is a very quiet & calm person, something I stopped being since this year.. I've had enough to deal with but I'm glad 7amad was here.
If it wasn't for his annoyance I'd be completely confused, and very misunderstood.

Suddenly, Joojoo came crying..

Joojoo: Amal! He's leaving!

Me: What? Who's leaving?

Joojoo: Saif, he's going away! He's transferring into a school in America!

Me: But.. Why?

Joojoo: I don't know, I really don't! I just don't want this to happen! Please, don't let it happen!

She cried harder, trying to gasp for air at times. She was broken, but I tried to hug her not to fall apart.

S3eed:

Me: Is that why you did it to Joojoo?

Saif: I already told you why.

Me: No, that doesn't make sense at all. What idiot would just break up with someone he loves and hurt himself for no reason?

Saif: Look S3eed, I'm a terrible person. This won't change because, unfortunately, I don't mind being the horrible person I am. I don't want to change, but I don't want Joojoo hurting from me.

Me: You can change for someone you love.

Saif: Well I guess I'm not in love with Joojoo.

No.. I didn't talk to Joojoo after that. Though she did need an explanation, I, myself, didn't understand what Saif meant by all this.

Khalid:

 Our flight's been booked, the day Amal's done with her school is the day we'll be heading to the airport.
We'll be going to Munich and stay at the hospital for a while.. I didn't know if it was going to be a positive act or not. I didn't know what the hospital had in plan for me.

Mai called,

Mai: Did you talk to your father?

Me: Yeah.. We'll be going very soon..

Mai: I talked to mine and we'll be going with you!

Me: But.. We'll spend most of the time at the hospital.. That would be depressing.

Mai: What are you saying!? I'm your fiancé, I have to support you through everything.

Me: Really? You can go shopping or something?

Mai: I'm not going all the way to Munich for nothing, my future husband's much more important to me.

Me: I'll be honest, maybe blunt, but I'm kind of surprised you'd waste some of your own summer for me.

Mai: Are you kidding? I'd be more than happy to do so!

We talked for a while and when she closed the line, it hit me..
Mai's talked to a thousand before me.
Was she just practicing what she's always been doing? What if it was only someone new there she wanted to meet.. Why would she ever stick to someone like me!?

Cursed With Beauty (35)

Previously:

Amal: I wondered if Kovu and I ever stood a chance.
Saif: It would suck to be your friend..
Khalid: I really think Mai's a good person!
----------------------
Khalid:

All of a sudden, Mai called me telling me she wanted to postpone the wedding..

Me: Is everything ok?

Mai: Yeah! No, it's not like that! Umm.. Can I just talk later?

Me: But-

Mai: bye!!

She hung up on me..

Amal:

Though I kept quiet, I saw what Joojoo meant. I really needed her in my life..

I listened to her, helped her, supported her. After a couple of weeks she finally opened up..

Joojoo: I know this is random.. I didn't want to tell you this at first, but, Amal you kind of changed!

Me: Umm.. Is that bad?

Joojoo: No! I was kind of upset before.. I was bothered that you were never there for me.
You always judged what I do, always making me feel like I'm just a huge mistake.

Me: All I know's that you're one of the most important people in my life. I don't believe I'm judging you as much as I'm trying to protect you.. You see I've grown a bit over protective.. I don't know if it's like that because I lost someone already or because of S3eed and how he is.

Joojoo: Oh no! S3eed is the most supportive, most caring and kind person ever!

Me: AYH! Ewww! Why are you saying that!? Is it not enough he tried to lock me up?

Joojoo: With you he's different. He listens to me, make me feel better when I need someone to do so!

Me: Joojoo that's my job! I'm the one you're supposed to call the second you stop being happy!

Joojoo: Yeah! I've been feeling guilty about not telling you, but he's a really nice person to talk to!

Me: This is not another relationship is it!?

Joojoo: No! We're just friends! There you go again trying to make me feel bad! It happened once but no one can replace Saif's place in my heart!

Me: I'm sorry! I just cannot let you hurt yourself again!

Joojoo: I'm really glad you care.. I didn't know you wanted me to be safe.. Thank you Amal, and I'm so sorry!

It was all better again..

S3eed:

Saif seemed torn up, and he whenever I was around he tried to act like nothing is going on..
He sleeps all day, and wherever we go at night it's as if he's lifeless.

Me: Why won't you just talk to her?

Saif: She'll be too close to me again.. It'll hurt her even more.

Me: You're crazy. You want her but you don't want her to like you.. WHY?

Saif: Did I not tell you? I'm a bad person. She needs someone better than me.

Me: Who could possibly better?

Saif: Stop asking! You might as well be her boyfriend. You care more than I do.

Me: I'd never. Saif you're my guy!! How could I possibly hurt you.

Saif: Haha! Well yeah. Can we stop talking about Joojoo?

Me: Alright alright..

Khalid:

Since summer was coming soon I had to ask father about the plan.. Mai postponed the wedding and we were staying in the country to have it..
When I told my father what Mai decided, but he wasn't bewildered at all.. It was as if women postponed their weddings everyday!

Father: Yes, well I was the one to decide this.. Khalid there's something more important right now..

Me: What is it?

Father: I'd received calls from the hospital.. There are more procedures that need to happen, but enshallah it's all positive. You have an appointment next week.

That week did not want to come.. It was the most tiring, restless, stressful week I'd ever gone through.. Mostly, what made it hard was the worry.. Recalling what the doctor said.. "You can no longer walk.. Your request to jog is simply impossible.. "

The day I had the accident ruined my entire life.

In the doctor's office. This was what he said..

Dr: We sent your files to a hospital outside the country.. This was something your father wanted. Now they've got some news for you..

Previously:

7amad: we're dangerous for each other.

Joojoo: He can have to daughters of the country if he wanted them all, but I need him to stay with me!
---------

Amal:

I ran as fast as lightening, in my way, so far away stood 7amad.

Me: BOOKWORM!!!! OUT OF THE WAAAAAY!

He didn't move, but as soon as I got closer he held me. I was locked between his arms.

Me: Ye5! Get off!! I'm late! Let me go! Let me go! Let me go!

7amad: No lady runs that way. Leave it to Naruto.

He let me go.

Me: 7araam you hold me a9ln you idiot!

7amad: The wind was going to pick you up.

Me: So be it, I don't want to go to hell because of you. I have to go, I'm beyond late.

7amad: Time management, work on it!

I went to class, but my English teacher was so furious.

Teach: Amal! Shame on you! Your class already began, I don't want you to interrupt us! Stay out!

Pshht! Whatever she wants!

Me: Sorry Ms! It's ok, I'll go.

When I got out, I saw Kovu right in front of me. I looked left, then right, no 7amad.
I glanced in his eyes and didn't say a word.. I had a strong urge to hold him, but I held on to my arms to stop myself..
He smiled at me so softly, took a step back as if denying the force of a magnet.. Suddenly, my English teacher opened the door and I fled to the cafeteria.. There I saw Saif..

Saif: Hallah bljamal halla, come sit with me.

WHAT ABOUT JOOJOO?

Saif: Afaa mtsweelna salfh. Amal the bitch's walking around with her nose up! She's got 7amad now!

Me: Hah! I wouldn't date 7amad if you payed me.

I ordered a cheese sandwich and sat far.

Saif came up to me.

Saif: Why don't you like me?

Me: Cuz I don't have to, where's your Joojoo?

Saif: She's not mine.

Me: WHAT!? What did you do to her?

Saif: Killed her. Ya3ny what did I do, it's over!

Me: Uuugh and she didn't tell me! How could she!?

Saif: You never asked. You, yourself don't care. Why'd she tell you if you had no interest?

Me: What are you talking about?

Saif: You either disapprove of everything she does, or you never pay attention. She's tired of talking you know.

Me: She told you all that?

Saif: Maybe she did, maybe not. All I know's that it would suck to be your friend.

Joojoo! Why didn't she say anything!

Khalid:

After work I went back home, I found Amal having ice cream while watching TV.

Me: Isn't this what girls do in the movie when they break up with someone?

She choked,

Amal: What!?

Me: I'm just kidding!

I pushed my wheelchair beside her.

Me: What now?

Amal: It's nothing, terrible day! You? And Mai?

Mai isn't as bad, she was just unpredictable. We texted each other sometimes, funny stories and what not. She said she liked my sense of humor..

Me: Well.. We don't want a huge fuss.. Apparently no one DOESN'T know Mai, and so we need to be quiet a bit..

Amal:

I was still mad at Khalid, but whenever he talked about Mai he seemed much more lighthearted about it. It didn't seem like he minded at all.. I really didn't want to bring 3ashah up again.

Me: Do you like her now?

Khalid: She's okay, I mean I haven't spent much time with her, but through her calls and texts I would judge that she really is a good person!

All I wanted was for Khalid to be okay..

Me: I'm sorry for giving you a hard time, you didn't deserve it..
Though.. Sometimes I wonder if there's ever a chance in this society that I can marry who I love than be thrown at a stranger..

Khalid: We won't "throw you" away, and certainly not to a stranger! It'll be someone you've met and you've talked to.. Our love just doesn't come before marriage, it grows with time!

I wondered.. If Kovu and I will ever stand a chance.. We've gone through enough this school year, but he's really strong.
He had a certain type of respect towards S3eed for being my cousin..
S3eed has provoked him so many times, but Kovu ignored him so well..
Kovu and I only hung on patience, and were only able to savor those times our eyes met..

Cursed With Beauty: To the Readers



I've received many different comments & I wanted to reply to all of you.

At first I want to thank you all for your wonderful support. The more you comment the more I'm inspired to write. I owe a lot to my readers.

I've had comments about my short posts. Unfortunately my inspiration comes in a certain dosage.
I try my best to give a meaningful post filled with events, just so that it doesn't become boring.
Sometimes I stop only because I have to live to tell some more.

About Kovu's name, I'd like to keep him an anonymous. Kovu's a very important person, and I don't want him to be a typical character from this story.

I do read all your comments and not only once but I actually reread them constantly. I enjoy your interaction, your analysis and your thoughts.

I may not be able to reply only because I work from my phone, and I have limited access through it, so sorry about not replying.

Again, all your comments prove that my story isn't just being thrown to thin air. I enjoy reading every comment be it praise or criticism, they're all appreciated.

Thank you all for your support!

I'd like you to comment about what you think might happen next. If there's anything you expect to happen, share it here! I'd love some of your own imagination!

Cursed With Beauty (33)

Previously:

Khalid: At Mr. Marwan's meelas, we sat down as we discussed my future with Mai.

Saif: I'm just not good enough for her. She needs someone better.
-------

Amal:
I was walking down the hall when suddenly 7amad joined me.

7amad: Good morning!

I didn't reply.. Many have been talking about us.. Someone spread a rumor claiming that we were a couple.
I've gotten enough hate glares from girls who had a crush on 7amad, and I was not going to take the blame.

7amad: Talk to me.

Me: No.

7amad: Are we giving up? You've agreed to let me help you, and what's going on is only the beginning.

Me: 7amad!! Have you not heard?! "The Brangelina of the school" "The power couple" and I don't even know what all of that means!

7amad: This is a challenge disguised as hate.

Me: And what am I supposed to do?!

7amad: Every word that mentions you, good or bad, is a bonus.

Me: So I let them talk? So we pretend to be a couple? Hah! I don't even like you to be with you.

7amad: Of coarse you hate me, because I'm your mentor now.
I make you do things you hate for once and you benefit from it for much more than just once.

As we walked, a girl by the locker said "Good morning Amal, good morning 7amad!"

I didn't reply.

7amad: Good morning!

He flashed a bright smile to the ground. I looked at her and it felt like she was going to melt at some point.

Me: We're not supposed to "talk to strangers" unless they're victims.

7amad: I'm a guy. They're all my victims. Don't get me wrong, and I'm not bragging, but I'll be the victim if I didn't reply.

I stopped by a class as I saw Kovu sitting there. Way in the back with some of his friends.
I got a strong urge to enter, but 7amad pulled me away.

Me: Do you have to ruin everything!? Every time and everywhere? Let me live!!

7amad: Don't give in, don't let anyone know who makes you weak.

Me: Ugghh! They think YOU make me grow weak. If they knew any better they'd be laughing their heads off.

I walked back as temptation was strong for a second glance. Before I got to the door, Kovu stood right outside looking straight into my eyes.

His beautiful eyes.. We only stood there staring at each other. Our eyes tell us exactly what we wanted to say, it was all confusing but extremely crystal clear.
I was under a trance.. Under his spell. I didn't want to leave, but 7amad had to interrupt.

7amad: Yallah da5l.

I pulled Kovu inside.

Me: 7amad! Buh-

7amad: Yeah, my class. Get to yours now.

7AMAAAAAD!!! DIIIIE! I scream on the inside.

S3eed:

Saif continued to ignore Joojoo.

Me: Why won't you at least explain what you're doing?

Saif: She knows.

Me: If she got it, she'd stop calling you.

Saif: Then she WILL understand. Sometime in the future or something.

Me: How do you know?

Saif: Stop asking me all those questions! I'm bored!

I left him alone, but as I was walking around I heard the sobbing.. Yes, it was Joojoo..

Me: Joojoo.. What's?

Joojoo: You already know, while I have no idea.

She tried to walk away..

Me: Joojoo! Can I talk to you?

We walked up the staircases..

I explained to her what Saif didn't want to say.

Joojoo: He's an idiot for not seeing how wonderful he's been to me.

Me: but he thinks that you deserve more.

Joojoo: I don't care about what I deserve, I care about what I need. I need him, nothing more.

Me: I'm sorry! Wallah I am, but sometimes he becomes so difficult! I really didn't want you to remain confused for too long. It would seem unfair.

Joojoo: Thank you S3eed!

She wiped her tears as she continued: I have no idea what he's up to. He can have the daughters of the country if he wanted them all, but I need him to stay with me!

There was nothing more I can do to help, I simply let her be.

In my class I heard some boys talking: Amal is 7amad's girl now. Even though 7amad shouldn't be in a relationship... Now the girls will kill her.

They chuckled.

I ran to her class and got her out.

Me: WHO'S 7AMAD"S GIRLFRIEND!?

Amal: If they had nothing better to talk about, why am I the one to blame.

Me: Ayh! You stay away from him.

Amal: Yeah, sure for you I'll stay away from 7amad, Joojoo, Saif, even my father and brother, my teachers, the cleaning ladies, grandmother, hell, why not the entire world?

Me: Shut up, just listen to me.

Amal: Where's Salma to boss around? She should keep you busy.

Me: Stop talking about her!!

Amal: Listen, you calm down and talk to me properly.
You should be glad I'm listening to you, I'd leave but unfortunately there's still like 1% of respect I have for you after all you've done. Stop believing the bullshit you hear and get off my back.

She got back into class.

Amal:

As soon as class was over I kept looking for 7amad. I ran up and down, and found him in the library.

Me: Bookworm, we need to get things straight.

7amad: Continue.

Me: I HATE YOU! For the bottom of my heart and deep down in my soul I hate you.

7amad: flattered. So?

Me: I DON'T WANT TO BE YOUR GIRLFRIEND!

7amad: one, don't start to believe the lies. After listening to them once you stop. Two, you know way too much, we can never be together. Three? You're not at all my type.

Me: When will the world understand?

7amad: Once you show them. If I tried my games on you, you'd win with your own rules. Us together, we're dangerous for each other.

Me: Yeah.. Ok?

7amad: I'm but a public figure, I can't commit to anyone so everyone else doesn't hurt.

Me: I, on the other hand, am NOT a puppet forced into anything.

7amad: You're a misplaced beautiful lunatic. You need a mental hospital.

Me: Stop being hurtful!

7amad: My ego pains of the times you repeated that you hated me.

Me: I shall have my revenge, bookworm!

7amad: Hate never goes far.

He won. I left.

Cursed With Beauty (32)

Previously:

Saif: Sometimes I feel like I don't deserve her..

Khalid: 3ashah al7een fee thmat rayal..
-------------------

Amal:

It broke my heart that Khalid won't get the girl he wanted, but I was enraged about having to settle with only someone close to her.
I've fought with Khalid so many times, but it seems that he just wouldn't change his mind.

Me: You love someone you do everything in your power to keep them!

I shouted.

Khalid: Why are you so mad?! It just can't be anymore! It's too late!

Me: This is not everything you can do! Why won't you tell me! Why Mai?

Khalid: Mr. Marwan trusts me. I am honored to be trusted by him, and I'd be honored to protect his daughter!

Me: Do you even love her!?

Khalid: Amal, what world do you live in? For generations we've only had those arranged marriages! There's no love before marriage here.

Me: Don't.. Just tell me honestly. Do you even like her.

Khalid: No! Okay? Is that what you wanted to hear? I find her weird and insane, and I don't even like her, probably never will. People have to live with it, move on!

Me: Why are you doing this?

Khalid: Why are you driving me crazy!? Can't you see me? I'm broken! I can't do what every full man can do! I'm not complete but Mr. Marwan doesn't mind. Where will I find such a good person willing to give his daughter to a person like me? Disabled and lifeless.

Me: You are not lifeless! You're a man, You ARE a full man! You're a man I'm more than proud to call my brother. You're more than just body Khalid! You're just giving yourself up!

I stormed to my room and shut the door loudly.

I thought Khalid could be the one to show me that those in love do stand a chance in such a society, with no need to do anything that could upset anyone!
Love of only pure intentions.. It only made me doubt it existed.

Khalid:

In the meelas of Mr. Marwan, the same one I've gotten used to. Father and I sit there to discuss the future of Mai and I...
On and on, then I finally get to see her. She was only the young girl I saw a couple of times before, only dressed up. Yes, we got to talk, but there wasn't much I had to say..

She offered tea and sat politely, and I'd never seen her acting "normal" before.

Mai: Khalid, is there something wrong?

Me: Not at all

Mai: Good, because I made that tea..

Me: What would that mean?

Mai: I don't know.. It was my first time, I thought you just got poisoned.

I started laughing, but I tried to hold it in only because it was inappropriate.

Amal: I was at home with only the baby so I decided to go mess around with yado's sacred sewing machine.

Baby 3osha was old enough to sit properly while cushions were by her side and so I let her sit beside me.

I had an old shirt with me, And I tore it apart and tried to just see a thread line develop on the torn fabric. Back and forth I went across the cloth, and for some reason it was so enjoyable.

Imayah came back from God knows where and decided to sneak up on me.

Suddenly I heard a whisper

Imayah: Scissors are in the drawer.

I screamed, jumping up into a ninja position..

Me: Imayah you scared me!

I sighed a sigh of relief.

Imayah: What's this? You know how to use the sewing machine?

Me: No grandmother, I was just trying ..

I sat back down with yado as she taught me some basic tricks.

S3eed:

Suddenly, Saif started ignoring joojoo as she tried to call, or even meet him. After hearing what he said, I couldn't help but feel sorry for her.

Saif: I'm just not good enough for her. She needs someone better.

Me: Bas Saif, you're not the same!

Saif: Nothing changed. I was made for all the ladies, she was made for a faithful person. I'm not what she needs.

I tried showing him how different he was without him noticing. At the mall I made him walk past a group of girls, but he said, saw, heard nothing.
It seemed so effortless to him to avoid staring.

Me: Did you see those girls? They were beautiful!

Saif: What?

Me: The girls who just passed us by!

Saif: Oh, I didn't notice.. Sorry..

Me: I thought you were made for all the ladies. You don't even care now. I told you, you're not the same.

Saif: It doesn't prove anything.

 He walked a step in front of me and started flirting with the girls who were in front of him.
They rolled their eyes and walked away.

Saif: Nope, same old Saif.

Mr. Marwan: Mnoo byr'6a ya36ee bnteh 7ag wa7d 3ala krsee ?

Amal: I always win, I always can.

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

Amal:

Obviously the white flag S3eed raised was only pretend.
He was in no way tired of fighting, but was actually more determined to light up the flames of war between us.

To every man, there is a woman who can get him to his knees. God I thanked that it was true, for if it wasn't I would still be locked up in a classroom.

S3eed:

She lied.. I didn't even know she was capable of doing so. I let her fool me, seduce me into believing it was true.
Crocodile tears were what ran down her face, or was it anger?

Amal:

I gave all the books 7amad gave me back.

Me: I read them, all.

7amad returned them to the librarian who only sat in front of the computer screen and gave disgusted looks.

Honestly, it all made sense. Why 7amad wanted me to know how to act, how to analyze body language, why I needed to trust myself, have confidence, and use all my powers.
At some point I had to be in control and manage every single emotion I had.

The way my attitude changed caused a stir around my classmates. "She's like the female 7amad." They all claimed.

S3eed:

I've seen how Amal dramatically changed. It made me nervous to come up to her sometimes.
The way she walked made everyone in front of disappear and dissolve.
She didn't speak much, which made everyone wonder what she was upto.
She was just a walking box of interesting mystery.

Khalid:

The decision was made, after thinking for so long, I was prepared to give Mr. Marwan my final answer. The only thing that held me back was hesitation.

When I was finally back home, Amal & yadoh with the baby were there to welcome me back.. I had to talk to the both of them about my decision.

Amal:

As shy as Khalid always was, he was able to tell yadoh about wanting to get married..

Khalid: Grandmother.. I know I'm on a wheelchair, and i know no one would find me eligible for marriage with this situation, but Mr. Marwan is accepting

He was finally fighting for 3ashah! I knew he wouldn't give up!

Khalid: Grandmother, I'm going to propose to Mai, Mr. Marwan's daughter..

Me: What! Khalid! How!? Why!?

My grandmother looked at me weirded out by my reaction.

Me: Khalid.. What about 3asha?

When he heard me, he wore a broken smile while looking at his wheelchair and trying to move his useless leg.

Khalid: 3ashah.. Is already getting married.. It's too late Amal...

When he looked up, his eyes were sparkling.. The tears in his eyes glistened..

Khalid: I going to get some rest..

S3eed:

I was out with Saif and as we had lunch a topic began about Amal & Joojoo..

Saif: I know it's causing problems that I'm dating your cousin's friend, but it's so different! Did you know I haven't lied to her once?

Me: Did you tell her your mom makes you go grocery shopping?

I laughed.

Saif: How do you know about that?

Me: My mom saw you once..

Saif: Honestly.. She does. She likes to cook.

Me: Really!?

Saif: I swear! She makes pastas, and cakes and pastries, so good!!

Me: As if you ever had some!

Saif: She sends us sometimes..

Me: mashallah..

Saif: Can I tell you something? Sometimes I feel like I don't even deserve her..

Previously:
Joojoo: Saif will be coming to the dinner.

Khalid: Mr. Marwan saw me at my weakest point

-----------------------
Amal:
Saif and his friends sat a table away.. His gaze cuts through the distance. It was like his eyes aimed directly.

They shared smiles and looks, then came S3eed..

S3eed: Get up.

Me: But Joojoo, she's

S3eed: Get up!

He turned to Joojoo: Whatever you plan, you keep my cousin out of it.

Joojoo: I didn't- I didn't do anything wro-

S3eed: Did you hear me?

Joojoo started tearing up.

Saif came..

Saif: S3eed walk.

They walked outside.. I tried to calm Joojoo down.

S3eed:

Saif is suddenly the heavenly in love man.
He got mad for shouting at his girl.. She came before our brotherhood.

Me: Just get my cousin out of there.

Saif: Joojoo will be alone.

Me: GET HER HERE!

Saif: Mb a9'3ar 3yalk ana tklmny chee. Ehda 3an tgool ashya tndam 3alaiha.

Me: SAIF I DON'T CARE ABOUT YOUR GIRLFRIEND! GET MY COUSIN OUT OF THERE!

He went in and moments later, Amal came out.

Me: Yallah to the car.

Amal: I came to tell you I'm going back with Joojoo. My father knows where I am. You're not responsible of me.

Me: WHAT HAVE THEY TWO DONE TO YOU? Listen to me!

Amal stayed quiet..

Me: You're sad?

Amal's facial expressions changed a thousand times.. I didn't get it.

Me: What happened to my good cousin? Have you too turned into some type of bitch too? It feels like Salma standing in front of me.

Amal: Salma, she could be under your control. You're her brother. I, on the other hand, have enough standing over me, and you're not one of them.

I stood shocked and immobile.

Amal: See you later S3eed.

Khalid:
I finally got to sit down with 3amy Marwan alone.. Mai left & father went to work. It was night time & I was glad Mr. Marwan kept me company..

Mr. Marwan: Have you thought about it Khalid?

It was all ugly and messed up in my head.. Even when I was a broken man in front of him.

Me: Na3am 3amyh.. Bas ma afham.. Laish ana?

3amyh: I already told you how troublesome she is..

So what he's throwing her at me?

He continued: You're the only one who proved trustworthy!

Me: I'm in no situation for marriage 3amy.. I don't know.

3amy Marwan: Khalid, think, and think well. Who else would give his daughter up for a disabled man?

He left, closing the lights behind him.
If he'd known better the curtains would be closed. It's didn't matter though, it wasn't like the moon's light was my view. Just another wall of bricks.

Amal:
It was another morning, another day. School again, where I was? Locked up in an old classroom.

I screamed and I shouted, no one listened. S3eed just pulled me to "talk", but suddenly I've been thrown into a classroom no one used.
I tried to check the windows, but I was on the second floor and the windows had safety bars.
I pulled out my phone. On twitter I dm'ed Saif.

Me: Open the door! Open the door!

S3eed:
Saif asked me: What's wrong with your cousin? I think she's locked in or something.
He'll ruin everything..

Me: She probably lost it.

Amal:
I called Joojoo, but she didn't know what classroom I'm talking about! I've further explain, but she'd "never been there."

S3eed suddenly came in..

S3eed: Your phone, where is it?
It was in my pocket.

Me: My phone's at home. what do you want ?

S3eed: I'm not an idiot, give it to me.

I threw my backpack to his face.

Me: Look for it. I'm not afraid of you, I wouldn't lie, idiot.

He searched and found nothing.

S3eed: Uff!

I tried to run, but he pushed me to the floor.

S3eed: Don't even think about trying, no one knows this building.

S3eed:

Suddenly, she spilled into tears. My heart shattered at every drop, but I tried to look away.

Amal: I really thought you cared. I almost thought you'd be different.. That you can be for me, my only..

She cried louder. Her words were exactly what I wanted to hear, exactly who I wanted to hear it from. She felt it all along, and she finally confessed!

I helped her up.

Me: I'm sorry.. I'm so sorry..
A sudden blow of a brick heavy object hit me..
On the ground, and Amal grinning, standing tall in front of me.

Amal: I always win, I always can. You don't control me, you simply cannot. A step ahead of you every time. Don't try to tame me.
She picked up her backpack, textbook, and left me on the ground..
