It was one, i couldn't sleep, i could hear me7sn and his friends yell out loud since they were watching a soccer game.

I decided to go and sit in the garden, i was wearing my hollister shorts with a white shirt i had my hair down on my shoulders.

I sat in the garden listening to my ipod and just think, wooow everything past by so quickly, my phone rang. It was a number from another country, i guessed it was baba.

Me: aloo

Baba: hala eb 7abeeeebty

Me: hii baba shlounk? wlaaht 3alayk 7ayl

We talked for 10 mns then i closed the line

My eyes teared a bit since i remembered my mother, i called lulu, she's the only one that can make me feel better : aloo

Lulu: aloo

Me: lulu *sniff*

Lulu: shfeech????

Me: tethaakart mama, iff staghfarallah*sniff* allah khatha aghla nas 3endy *sniff*

Lulu talked to me and made me feel better, when i closed the line a deep voice behind me said: ana ba3ad a7s methlch sa3at

I turned around and found khaled standing in front of me: shloun t7ss?

i wiped my tears immediately

he grabbed a chair and sat next to me
