CHAPTER 8

I couldn't believe it. The party was mixed.

I saw shaikha walking towards me and ghala, she was wearing the tightest and shortest dress that i've ever seen. She looked cheap.

She came and Fajer was with her. Ughhhhh don't get me started with Fajer. She backstabbed me and ghala last year cause she transferred schools. She thought she would get the attention or be the "popular" girl if she spilled out our secrets. 6a7at men 3ayny. I can't even look at her. Although i miss her so much, she was one of my closest friends.

Shaikhaa: JAWAA W GHALA! TAWA MA NAWERAT EL 7AFLA

Me: haha bwejoudch, bas shaikha sorry me and ghala are leaving now.

Shaikha: laayssssh?????????

Me: its mixed. Law ahaly yadroun ena i attended a mix party chan thba7ouny.

Shaikha: waaay shda3waaa, please ge3daw 3ashany

Me: sorry wallah ukhuuuy mayrtha

Shaikha: call him w gouleela

Me: yanaaytay?

Shaikha: wallah 9ej, call him

Fajer was standing, looking so awkward. Matekalemat kelsh.

Me: laa shaikha akhaf, a9lan 7atan ana ma aby, byethba7ny law dera ena ana yeet a mixed party!

Shaikha: next week party bas girls 3ashanch entay w ghala!

Ghala: bnkoun awal nas yayeeen:D

Fajer: its good to see you guys again

Me: thanks

Ghala was giving her death stares

Raj came and picked us up.

Someone called raj

Raj: hello

Okay i will drop juju then come
Yeah dont worry

He closed the line

Me: raj who was that

Raj: my friend

Aha. So 7atan elsayg eychathb 3alay, I'm going to put an end to this thing. Lasm a3arf sh9ayer

I dropped ghala and went back home.


The house was empty.

Me: mary where is everyone

Mary: i don't know

Ashkara ga3da etchathb, her voice was weak

I called fahad

His phone was switched off. Great.

I called muneera. Her phone was switched off too.

Ant7r?

Me: alooo mishooooo

Misho: "na3am" he seemed upset

Me: shfeeek

IT WAS RINGING!!

Muneera: a-aaloo

Me: muneera waynchh

Muneera: al7een rada elbayt

Muneera: jawa ba3dayn t3arfeen

Muneera: malada3y, ana w fahad al7en radeen

Ok, so fahad w muneera w kel ely yeshtaghloun b baytna yadroun w ana la? why won't they treat me like an adult just for once.


I was waiting impatiently for them to come. I've been thinking about everything, was my father going to be okay? I kept on praying that my father would be healed.

Finally, after 45 minutes of hell they showed up.

Muneera's face was pale. It didn't have a drop of make-up.

Fahad had black spots under his eyes, he looked like he didn't sleep for a long time

Me: mta baba ta3ab? w shfyyy?

I tried my best not to cry

Fahad: uhwa ta3ab youm elym3a belayl

Muneera: walah umy galat ena matabeech tadreen, rou7ay kalmeeha ehya

Ughhh i was so pissed at my family at that moment

I stayed in bed, i couldn't sleep. I checked the clock and it was 3 AM.

Maku fayda, mara7 anam


I went and sat in the living room. I didn't open the tv. I just stared at a picture of my father.

I saw a light in fahad's room. aked mu nayem.


I knocked on the door

"mnuuuu?"

Fahad: deshaay dakhel

Me: fahad gouly el9ej, ent walah mara chathabt 3alay, ubuy feh shay? ana magdar a3eesh etha ubuy 9arla shay, tekfa gouly el9ej

A tear fell from my eye

Fahad: kalbaaa;p

Me: haha, malayt

Fahad: tabeen nshouf movie?

Me: yallah!

We were watching She's the man, i can never get bored of watching this movie.

We fell asleep while watching the movie. I woke up the next day at around 9. Muneera and Fahad were still asleep.

I got dressed and rushed to the hospital! I didn't wait for them to wake up! I need to see my father now


I wore









When i reached there i asked raj where my father's room was

I took a deep breath before i opened the door

I kept repeating to myself: be strong jawa, dont cry infront of your father, dont make him feel that he's sick

When i entered the room i saw my mother sleeping on the coach, she looked tired

I saw my father laying on the bed he had wires connected to his body. And a kamam over his mouth

He was awake

I got closer to his bed and said: "ba-baaa" my voice was really weak

My heart was aching, i can't stand looking at him like that.

My father tried his best to open up his arms, signaling me to come and hug him

When i hugged him, i cried a lot. I couldn't hold back my tears

Me: baba 7ady kheft 3alayk, ma7ad galy 3ank ela ams belayl, latfaker ena ana knt 6al3a w mu yaya 3ndk, baba walaht 3alayk 7ayl

I cried and cried and cried

My father couldn't speak, he was too tired.

The doctor entered the room

He kept talking and talking

He finally said: your results are looking fantastic, you can leave the hospital in a couple of days!

Me: so my father is okay now right?

Doctor: he is excellent! His pressure is back to normal, he's gaining back his health

Me: el7amdella!!

Doctor: but you should leave now, you can't stay at the hospital, he needs to rest

Me: but i just got here, i didn't see my father from friday!

Doctor: you can go now, and come back by 9 o'clock.

Me: ollaaaah

Doctor: excuse me?

Me: never mind

I kissed my father's forehead and went to the car with raj

When i got in the car wela ghala etdg 3alay

Me: hey ghala

Ghala: emshaaay baytna, ba3dayn ne6la3 netghada then enrou7 eldawam

Me: ok

I needed to get things out of my mind for a while


I went to ghala's.

Awal ma dakhalt wela agoul 7ag ghala everything

Ghala g3dat tabchy: ya3ny 3ame yousef ta3baan 7ayl, shloun 9arla chethy??

Me: enshalah by6la3 ba3ad youmayn, w lasm arou7la elyoum at 9 belayl! mu ratheen eyga3douny al7een

Ghala: jawa ana baye wyach, 3ame yousef methel oboy, magdar akhaly, lasm asalm 3alayh

Me: your a true sister, a7bchh

Ghala: ana akhthar

We went and ate lunch eb shake shack, then went to work

When i reached the restaurant i told ghala that i wanted to go to the bathroom.

I was walking through the hallways of avenues, i hated those hallways, eykhar3oun

Out of no where wela a7ad yamsk eydy w yes7abny
