Muneera walked in Jana's room one more time
She wanted to feel her again , she missed her and everything in the room smelled like her
From the light purple walls to the white bedsheets ..
The closet , the desk ..
And the photographs
Wait , she thought
She looked closely to one of the photographs that hung on the walls and saw Jana arm in arm with her best friend Rahaf
She remembered the day she saw her at the supermarket , and then she sighed
She still felt weird
Jana would at least call her mobile by now , but she didn't ..
No word seemed to be coming from her , her brother was very busy with his work
But that's not an excuse for him to ignore that fact too
It was like he didn't worry as much as her ,
But then again , he was a very powerful business man
He didn't have much time to even worry ..
" Where are you dear ? " She said gently to the photo , her eyes shifting from Rahaf's face to Jana's
" El salam 3laikom .. " She walked into her brother's office trying not to make much noise with her heels
" Hala hala wa 3laikom .. " bo 3adnan greeted her with his friendly smile
" Shloun el shi'3il , basher ?"
" walah kil shay tamam .. enty shloun el wath3 ma3ach ? enshallah merta7a ? matabeen shay e5tee ? "
" La teslam kil shay abeeh mawjood .. " She hesitated " bas .. fe shay wa7ed b3d .. "
" aamreenee ya b3dhom , ele tabeena ana 7ather "
" Teslam 3yoonik .. bas .. knt gam afaker eb Jana "
He looked uncomfortable , shifting in his seat " Shfeeha Jana ? .. mafeeha ila il 3afya ya5tee .. may9eer b3d chthy t7ateen ya Mneera alah yhadach "
" Adree .. bas mo mn 3awayedha t'3e6 chthy .. ehy ma dagat 3laik ? "
" uuhh .. embala ! .. ehe dagat ams wenty 6al3a .. w galat enha eb ma6ar Frankfurt w 6ayart'ha t6eer b3d sa3a "
" Enzain ! w shno el ra8am y3ny agdar adeg 3laiha ! " Muneera's voice was very optimistic
" Uhh.. la e5tee kan el ra8am pay-phone mn el ma6ar .." He looked apolegitic , but it didn't do Muneera any good ,
She sighed " allah yhadak Muthana laish ma tgoolee ? "
" Nesait ya5tee kan ams wenty knty mo mawjooda .. ana marra thanya lmn akalimha agoolaha tdeg 3laich , wala yseer 5a6rech ela 6ayib .."
" Akeed Muthanna ? "
" Akeedain afa 3laich .. shno ana age9 3laich ? "
" La mo 8a9dee chthy .. yalla ana mashya , tabee shay? "
" slamatich "
Muneera walked out of his office still not sure , she wasn't completely satisfied with what he'd said
There was something missing.. something he's not telling her ..
She picked up her car keys and decided to go sit in a cafe to clear her head
Caribou was'nt very crowded ..
A couple of business men were sitting down having a serious argument , two guys were enjoying conversation and a girl sitting on a couch drinking coffee
" Rahaf ! " She called out as she approached the girl
" What a coincidence ! " It was the second time she saw Rahaf by chance ,
" Hala 5alty ! " She greeted her and kissed her cheek
" Yaya broo7ich ? " Muneera asked ,
" Ee walah 5alty , you're welcome to join me .."
Muneera smiled " I'd love to , let me just get a drink "
Muneera sat across from Rahaf , she reminded her of Jana ..
Everything about her , she was her best friend and somehow Muneera felt closer to Jana by sitting with her
" Shloun omich w 5awatich? "
" Walah el 7mdelah kilna b5air .. enty shemsawya 5alty? shloun el 3eesha barra el Kwait? "
" Walah t'thayeg el 5lg bas shensawee .. ana ma9adagt 3lallaah ared .. bas 7athee mo 7lo hal marra , Jana mo mwjooda "
Rahaf looked uneasy when she heard that , she grabbed her coffee and sipped it
" Ma 3alaina shloun el derasa ? "
" Walah zaina 5alty .. bas lil7een ma te5a9a9t "
" Ee .. athker Jana b3d kanat metwahga .. She called me everytime telling me she wanted to quit , but she was a fighter .. she always got good grades "
Rahaf smiled at the memory of her friend and her heart ached
" Rahaf .. sweetie , Jana didn't call you lately ? "
Rahaf looked at her , Muneera looked so concerned the poor thing but Rahaf didn't want to lie either
" La walah 5alty madree 3anha .. " And she sipped her coffee again
Muneera nodded , she wasn't expecting anything but she had to at least ask
" El thaher ma yalge6 lmn tdeg 3lay madree shesalfa , bas 3amha gal enha daggat ams wenha bil ma6ar .. akeed saferat mokan thanee "
Before Rahaf could say something else , Muneera said " Yalla 7beebtee ana b3d lazm aroo7 .. a5aleech al7een , salmay 3la omich w take care "
Rahaf nodded but had a bad feeling instantly , as Muneera walked out of the coffee shop , Rahaf grabbed her things and followed her
" Auntii Mneera ! "
Muneera turned aroud to look at her surprised , " What's wrong sweetie? "
" We need to talk " Rahaf bit her lip
They sat down in a quiet place and only ordered water this time ,
Rahaf tried to speak as politely as possible trying not to freak Muneera out ,
She Laid down the facts easily , trying to be calm and collected
She made it sound like it was a very normal event and that there was an upside to the story
While Muneera sat there not saying a single word ,
After Rahaf was done , She waited for Muneera to speak again
She breathed and then began " When was this ? "
" Almost a year ago .. "
Muneera nodded
" Why didn't anybody tell me ? .." Muneera was asking herself this time
" I .. i don't know what to say aunt Muneera , i felt like you should hear it from somebody else .. "
" No no honey .. thanks for telling me .. i had no idea .. " Her voice was a whisper
" I need to go have a talk with my brother, if you'll excuse me dear .. "
Muneera got up ,
" Wait aunt Muneera ! " Rahaf said again
" Here's my number .. " Rahaf gave her a peice of paper , " You know in case anything happens .."
She touched Rahaf's cheek " Thank you darling "
Muneera was shaking as she entered the house , it was both anger and nerves
She had no idea what she was going to say , but she knew she had to do something and FAST
She walked in Muthanna's office without knocking this time , her legs barely being lifted from the ground
" Back so soon? " Muthana said as he looked up from his desk
" What the hell did you do Muthanna ? tell me what the HELL happened ! "
Muthanna blinked " I .. i don't understand "
" Don't you play me Muthanaa how DARE YOU ! , i know EVERYTHING ! EVERYTHING ! "
" Mneera relax .. please .. sit down .. " He got up
" I know Jana's missing ! and i know you didn't contact ANYBODY ! NO ONE ! i know you lied to me and all her friends ! fe mu9eeba 9ayra hnee wenta meste'3el safretee w mo rathee tgoolee ! "
" Mne-"
" STOP IT ! JUST STOP !! tell me where's my niece Muthanna or i swear to god i'll go find her myself ! "
" I .. " He didn't know what to say
" That's it .. am going to the police "
" Muneera wait ! " He called after her ,
She turned around not to listen , but to talk
" They trusted you Muthannaa .. her parents TRUSTED YOU ! " tears began to fall " 5alooha amana 3ndik ! .. ana lo adree chan radait el Kwait mn zmaan .. lo adree inna chthy el wath3 chan ma hadait'ha ! "
And with that she left the room , Muthanna was astonished by what had just happened
He sat down on his chair again , eyes wide , breathig hard
He had to do something ,
" Aloo .. Sa3ad , ta3aly el maktab al7een "
Muneera walked in Jana's room again ,
As if to find some clue .. some sign to where she is ..
She had to find her ,
She just had to ,
Now suddenly everything fell into place , she knew why all her stuff were here .. she knew why she didn't call .. she knew
After half an hour of aimless search , she sat down on Jana's bed and cried ..
" Crying won't do any good .. " She told herself ,
She went to her room and called up Rahaf
" Aloo ? " Rahaf answered
" Alo Rahf it's mee Muneera "
" Ee hala 5alty "
" Am going to need your help"
Rahaf smiled , She was glad she did this
Anything to help find her best friend ,
She was hoping that someone would tell her that .. and not just shut her out of Jana's news and life like that ..
" Anything " She finaly said
" My father is a lawyer .." Rahaf was saying later that evening
" He knows some people that can help too , and .. if you want , we can keep it confidential .. no one has to know about this "
" That would be perfect sweetie but .. i want to wait before getting more people involved .. for now i want you to tell me everything that happened to Jana before she disappeared .. every person she saw .. every conversation she had .. everything "
Rahaf nodded and began to spill everything she could remember
" Hey !!! " Sara shouted at 7arith as he took the last slice in the pizza box
7arith stuffed it all in his mouth and then washed it down with coke
Sara was still staring at him
" What? " He asked like he did nothing wrong
" I wanted to eat that "
" I didn't know that " He lied
" Liar ! "
They were both sitting on the couch in his fancy apartment watching a movie
He was right , this was the perfect date
They did it all exactly like they used to when they were just best frieds , but they loved it
But this time , the sparks that were flying .. the butterflies in their stomachs .. made it much more exciting
They were watching the oldest version of Superman , they were laughing at the colors .. the lame movie schemes they used back then and the super fast monologue
Once the movie was over , Sara decided to clean up their mess
" Move over " Sara was telling him around the tiny open kitchen
" Shtabeen ? "
" Bage6 el we9a5a enta shfeek? "
" Mn galich tge6eenha ? "
" Wa9e5 enta wa9e5 ?! .. ma ennathif y3ny ? "
" 3a6eenee hatha .. " He moved closer trying to trap her
" No ! "
Her back was finaly glued to the fridge and 7arith stood infront of her , he looked at her and she looked back
It would've been the perfect moment for a first kiss
She saw 7arith lean over slowly , she tried to remember how people breathe .. but she couldn't
Before she knew it , he grabbed the pizza box out of her hand and threw it in the traSH , leaving Sara still ow-struck
" There " he finaly said " 3ashan ma tagregain 3lainna ana nathaft w ana wa9a5t "
She laughed
He realy wanted to kiss her right there ,
But he wasn't going to .. not now
They say the best things come when you wait , so that's what he was going to do
