Nayla got into the house. She had two long tiring days. Too many things have happened in her love life. She dropped herself on her bed. The Air Conditioner was blowing straight into her face. She stared at the ceiling and gave out a loud sigh. She needs a change. She has to move on. Something new that would take her mind of everything.

Nayla wanted to get done and over with work for today. It was finally the weekend and she couldn’t wait to finish work. She got out her laptop and signed in. She looked for Ali’s CV. She got his number and called him.

Ali: Alo

Nayla: Ali ma3ak Snapshot Advertising Company.

Ali: Ee ya halla e5ty

Ali: 3ashat el asami e5ty .. Maga9artay .. Fi aman Allah

Nayla: Ma3a elsalama

Nayla took a nap for an hour. Finally some peace and quiet. Just a long lazy weekend to rest and do absolutely nothing.

Knock Knock

Um AbdulRahman: Nayla .. Nayla?

Um AbdulRahman opened the door and walked in.

Um AbdulRahman: Nayla Yuma gomai shfeech nayma ly hal 7aza? Mo mn 3waydech

Nayla: Yuma ta3baaaaanaaaaaa weli y3afeech 5aleeni anam

Um AbdulRahman: Gomai lebseelach shay 7elow 3endena 5alatech ta7at .. Yalla gomai tara 3aib 5awatech esbegooch

Nayla: Enshalla al7een bagoom

Nayla took a quick shower and as soon as she was done she opened her closet. She got out an off-white dress that had golden flower prints at the bottom. She put on white chanel watch and blow dry her hair quickly. She applied bronzesh make up with light pink lipstick.

It was Thursday. Girls from their family would come together on this day every week at Bu AbdulRahman’s place. Friday was family day including uncles and guy cousins at el bait el 3od.

Nayla put on off white flats and ran down stairs. She saw her mom moving her hand slighty so no one notices as if she was asking her to slow down. So Nayla did what her mom was asking her to do. She walked down the stairs trying to be careful looking around for spilt water in front of her. She suddenly notices her sisters and Hamad’s mom standing and smiling at her.

Her aunt Faiqa said as loud as she can: Alf el 9alat wel salam 3alaik ya 7abeeb Allaaaah Mohaaaamed

And all followed: Keleleleleleleleeeeey

It kept on repeating again and again. Nayla was shocked. Who’s getting married? Me? To who?

Faiqa: O salem galbha labsa abya’9 7abeebtii .. Ta3alai 7abeebti ge3dai yami

Nayla thinking to herself: huh?

Um Hamad: La .. Chantey tag3ed yami

Nayla’s face changed color.

Nayla: Chanat-ha? Y3ni Hamad 5a6ebni !! Ma3endeha 9bay ‘3air Hamad !!

Nayla didn’t know how to react. She got her phone out and texted Hamad.

Umm Hamad .. WTH?????

She waited for his reply. Dinner was served. Still nothing from Hamad.

We need to talk asap

They all had dinner and moved to the outer maylas behind the house. Nayla stayed outside and called Hamad. She was furious. She felt like throwing her phone and breaking it into pieces. She was running out of patients.

Calling ...

+973 3*******

Hamad: Nayla ana mash’3ool

Nayla: Mo she’3ly .. lazem entefaham

Hamad: 3ala shenow?

Nayla (Angerly): Ent mn 9ijek?!!! El neswan ga3deen eyabebon o ent tgoli 3ala shenow??

Hamad (Laughing): Ya b3d 3umry enty

Nayla: Ent shfeek? 3aglek metbari menek?

Hamad: Enzain yalla bentefaham 3ugb el melcha ana fil zra3a

Nayla: Hamaa...

TooT TooT TooT........

Nayla got the first 3abaya she saw in front of her and left the house. She drove to the farm and walked really fast towards the stable. She saw Hamad in a cream sleeveless top with brown shorts giving his horse a bath. He looked like he was in a really good mood. Nayla stood there watching him from the back of the stable’s door.

Hamad: 7ayach .. Tara agdar achoofech malah da3i ten5ashain

Nayla (walking towards him embarrassed): Tawni we9alt .. makent men5asha

Hamad (Smirk): 7ayalla eb5a6eebty

Nayla: Ana yait agoolak ena hal shay mabe9eer

Hamad (smiling): Ok

Nayla: La mn 9iji Hamad .. akalmek jad

Mama (Work)...

Nayla: Halla Yuma

Um AbdulRahman: Nayla wainach ??

Nayla: Re7t el 9aydaleya abi cream 6ebi

Um AbdulRahman: Enzain rej3ai gabel eyey o5och 7aman o yagleb eldenya etha machafach

Nayla: Al7een barja3

Nayla looked at Hamad dying to finish their conversation. But she had to leave. He kept on sneezing throughout her visit.

Hamad (Sniff): Shgalat omech?

Nayla: Ana lazem amshi al7een bs ben5ale9 kalamna b3dain

Hamad: Enshalla

Nayla: Hamad .....

Hamad: Na3am

Nayla: Eljaw bared 3ala enak te6la3 chethi

Hamad smiled and walked her to her car. None of them said a word. She was replaying what just happened. Why did she show him that she cares? But she had to say something. It was stupid of him to get all wet in this weather.

Hamad was just too happy. He didn’t want to say anything that would make her take it back.

She got into her car. He put both his arms on the top of the car’s door. Nayla put her window down. Hamad looked at her and smiled.

Hamad: Y3ni 6aga darb tzefeeni?

She couldn’t say anything. For the first time in three months she’s speechless. She always had a rude comeback. But not today.

Hamad: Yalla betet2a5erain .. Byee

Hamad walked away back to the stable. She wanted to hug him. How could she when she was still angry? Is it true when they say that time heals? Is she forgiving him? But he didn’t even admit it. He’s walking away. He didn’t even take a second look. Please look back. I want to see you looking back at me. Hamad turned and winked at her. Nayla couldn’t help but blush. This overwhelmed feeling was taking over her.

Nayla got out of the car confused. She thought to herself no she can’t be forgiving him. She is a girl of pride. There’s no chance she’s getting married to him.

She entered the house. Everyone was still there. She could over hear them planning the day he will be coming to sit with her and talk. Everyone is deciding everything for her. A girl must have a say in this. She entered the maylas but looked tired and pale.

Nayla and Sumaya started whispering to each other.

Nayla: Sumaya .. What did I miss?

Sumaya: Shoofat el sena betkon youm elsabt

Nayla: Whaaat?!! Enzain laish mesta3yeleen ymken ana mabeeh !!

Dalal (Whispering): What are we whispering about?

Sumaya: Nayla is freaking out

Nayla: No I’m not .. Shda5al?

Dalal: La Nayool 3adi etha matabeenah o et7eseen enach mo meste3eda say something

Nayla: Madri .. Umm .. Ma3arf .. Madrii Madrii

Dalal: Eee fehamna .. Enty matadreen

Sumaya: Nayool Dalool bs 3aib b3dain bentekalam .. 5aleeha tag3ed weyah o b3dain y9eer 5air

Meanwhile, Nayla got a texted from a weird number
