" OH MY GOD , French croissants are the love ! " Jana said as she munched her fresh croissant
Yousif smiled as he watched her , the weather was cold but it was perfect , they were sitting in a small cafe on the sidewalk
He was in Paris with the love of his life .. seeing her happy was all he wanted ..
" Bil 3afya "
She blushed " why aren't you eating ? " she asked
" Am not hungry "
Jana just nodded, she suddenly lost her appetite ..
It's been almost 3 weeks since their arrival to Paris , Yousif made sure she saw everything .. he took her everywhere .. got her everything she wanted ..
What more could she ask for , right ?
Wrong
Yousif was out of it , the entire 3 weeks they spent in Paris were a nightmare hidden for both of them ,
Yousif was with Jana every step of the way , he smiled when she was happy .. he made sure she was comfortable
But something was missing ..
Her baby wasn't with her in Paris , Yousif wasn't with her in Paris ..
He was someone else ..
Since the day they got here , he promised to keep her happy ..
And he kept his promise !
little did he know , Yousif attempts were every girl's dream ,
But not Jana's
One would say their relationship was as good as it was before , it was perfect ..
But not on the inside , yes Jana and Yousif were suffering ..
There were nights when he couldn't sleep unless he held her so tight to his chest until they could both feel their heartbeats through each other's chests ..
But those nights were gone now , the last few nights Jana would wake up to find herself alone in the empty cold bed ..
" Yousif? " She would call out for him in a sleepy tone , his head would pop up from the balcony where he stood alone .. looking out at the stars , asking her if she needed anything ..
She would shake her head , her would nod and she'd go back to sleep ..
His kisses were passionless , not like the times where she felt all his love pour out of them ..
His voice was powerless .. senseless
His hugs were colder ..
Jana thought it was just a phase , or she was just imagining it all , maybe it was stress ?
She was afraid to ask herself a question , she didn't want to admit it though
She didn't want to say that Yousif was slipping away ..
Was he realy ?
She would ask , as much as she wanted to deny it .. it was true
One could say he was just tired , that so much was going on that week ..
But its been 3 weeks now .. and Jana was pushing her 4th month ..
And Yousif was still in that shape ..
She decided she'd give it time , act like it was all okay when it wasn't
he took her hand and started walking along the sidewalk ..
They were both quiet , each thinking
Jana just breathed in the fresh air and tried so hard to think .. to remember ..
What happened ? what got Yousif to act this way ?
It wasn't until the day he got a phone call from a friend back in Kuwait ..
At least .. that was what he told her ..
She was looking through a bunch of magazines on the couch , Yousif was sitting watching the weather channel
" Oh .. Yousif your phone .. " She picked it up from the table
" yeah ? let me see .." He took it from her hand , he checked the number and a frown formed on his face .. he didn't recognize the number
" Alo ? "
" Alo , Yousif ? "
" Ee na3am .. " he knew that this was serious
" Baby .. i'll be right back .." he whispered , Jana nodded and he went outside
" 7arith galina sh9ayer .. " The man started .. " El wath3 9a3ab .. bas ent akeed gadha , bas nabeek ta9ber shway .. ma buga wayed , el salfa enshallah bet5ali9 w kilin bya5eth 7agga , ent wainik al7een ? "
" Mo mohim ana wain .. el mohim mokan ma7ad y3rf enny feh .. "
The man laughed " ya7lailik ya Yousif .. wala te'3ayart .. "
" El salfa may9eer t6awel akthar mn chthy , "
" enshallah mara7 t6awel .. bas fe shay lazm t3rfa .. "
" W shno hal shay ? "
" E7na negdar nsawee ele 3lainaa ngool sh9ar bil thab6 w shno ele 5alak ta5eth el bnt .. bas mo mas2ooleen 3n ele besawoona ahal el bnya etha daraw .."
" sh8a9dek y3ny ? "
After the phone call , Yousif walked in there still looking like Yousif ..
little did Jana know that phone call was about to change her man for the 3 weeks to come ,
It was the first night Yousif stayed awake when she went to bed ..
But Jana didn't give it much thought .. in fact .. she forgot all about that phone call ...
All of Yousif's actions she gave herself excuses for , reminding herself they weren't an ordinary couple vacationing in Paris .. they were running away..
And the most important reason of all was that she didn't want to ruin the baby's health or condition by ruining her own
So that's what she did , she ignored the problem .. hoping it would get better ,
If not today .. then tomorrow ,
But more tomorrows came , more calls started coming ..
Ones that came in the middle of the night , some that Jana wasn't supposed to know about ,
But when Yousif thought she was sound asleep , she was listening to him chatter on the phone ..
To whom , she didn't know ..
But those phone calls were long enough to make her shut her eyes before Yousif could finish ..
Jana just breathed , kept walking holding Yousif's cold hands ..
The hands that were once her medicine .. healed her from everything bad .. everything unpleasant ..
Where did my baby go ? , she kept thinking
oh how she wished she could get inside his lovely brown haired head , see and hear what he was thinking ..
i love you , she said more to herself than to him so many times ..
Yes she did , she loved him ..
That's why at that time , she decided she won't be a woman and freak out ..
She decided she won't doubt him , she won't let it go to her head ..
But she WAS a woman .. and that was the problem , so she was thinking like one
Sara lay in bed thinking ..
That was all she did for the past 3 weeks , think !
She avoided 7arith's calls ..
she was restless at night ..
And so was he ,
He kept worrying about her , and 7arith wasn't stupid ..
He knew when he was being stood up , he knew when he wasn't welcomed or wanted ..
That made him angry .. more than before ..
Sara was begining to have feelings .. feelings one shouldn't have with their ex fiance's best friend ..
Feelings one shouldn't have for their OWN best friend ..
Espacialy if they didn't know how they felt ,
Sara decided she'll just deal with it tomorrow and fell asleep
" Baby.. " 3aziz was in a white deshdasha and '3etra..
He looked amazing , more handsome than ever .. younger .. healthier ..
" 3aziz .. " her voice barely got out
" Le meta baby ? "
" What ??!! what are you doing here ? " She kept touching his face .. feeling his arm , she couldn't believe he was there ..
" Le meta bteg3edeen broo7ech ? "
" Laish 5alaitnee ?!! " Sara cried , but he wiped her tears away
" You need to be with someone .. go back .. go and let them take care of you , your family , your friends .. "
" 3aziiiz .. wait ! " He started fading away
" Give people a chance .. let them be there for you .. its okay to be sad .. but i don't want you to be alone .. "
" i don't want to be alone either ! don't leave me ! "
" I left .. but am happy , and you have a chance to do that too "
" How ?!! how can i be happy without you ?! " She started crying harder
" You will be happy if you give your heart just one chance .. for god's sake Sara listen to it .. "
" I don't know how to .. "
" You know .. you're already feeling it .. "
Sara just cried some more
" 7arith is a good man Sara .. "
" What ?!! 7arith?! .. wait .. how .. what ?!! "
But it was too late , 3aziz and his beautiful smile was gone ..
Sara woke up somehow relieved ..
She still felt the warmth of 3aziz's presence .. his lovely smell .. and thought about what he told her in her dream ..
" 7arith .. " She whispered
She shook her head ..
She didn't believe much in dreams , but THAt must have had a meaning
She burried her head in her hands and went to wash up ,
When she was done taking a long hot shower she looked over at the table ,
She saw 7arith's jacket from the other night and she smiled to herself ..
" What am i doing ? " she wondered ,
She didn't kow why .. but she had an urge to go and see him , to apoligize for what she did .. how she acted around him , tell him she was stupid !
And most importantly .. listen to her heart .. to 3aziz ..
Even if she wasn't ready to love , she would give it more time ..
But 7arith was her best friend .. she would be rediculous to act this way ..
she had to live , she had to love! .. 3aziz wouldn't want her to be alone ..
and Not do this to herself ,
She put on something comfortable and headed to see 7arith ,
She didn't know what she was going to say exactly .. but she was certain of one thing ..
She was going to listen to her heart ..
Then she'll know exactly what to say ,
" Saferat ??!! bas Jana matsafer ela lmn tgoolee ! " Muneera kept saying
" Kanat wayed ma5that'ha el far7a .. ma medahaa 7ata tdeg .. and gitlaha roo7ay wenshallah ana ra7 agool 7g 3ametech " 3adna explained
" Zain w mat3rf chm ra8amha ?!! w wain saknaa bil thab6 ?!! "
" Gitliich ehe saferat m3a refeejat'haa 7g cham deera eb orobba .. w ma7adedat cham yoom bteg3ad eb kil deera .. y3ny 7abba tekteshef .. w ma3a be3that'ha gilt 5l troo7 t3awed nfs'ha marra wa7da .. "
Muneera frowned still not liking it , " 9ij ana b3eeda muthanna .. bas knt lazm tgoolee eb wagt abchar 3al a8al .. tdree enna ma3ndee '3air hal 3e6la ele ayee ashoofkom feha .. "
" Ana asef e5tee .. gitlich el shay 9ar bser3a bser3a .. w knt bagoolich awal ma aftha .. bas tdreen b3d el shi'3il "
" Zain w meta a5er marra dagat 3laik ? "
Muthanna thought for a second .. " Gabil yoomain .. gitlaha inch greeb w too9leen , galat awal ma tlagee fer9a betdeg marra thanya w tklmich .. "
Muneera nodded , but she still wasn't covinced " Il mohim .. shlounik enta b3d ?shemsawee bil shi'3il ? "
Muthanna smiled in relief , glad the discussion about Jana was over
That was a rock out of the way ..
As Sara marched towards 7arith's apartment , she kept thinking about how much of a good person he was ..
He was an amazing friend , a great listener .. and he cared about her ,
More than anyone beside her parents ..
He was always there , he still is ..
Even after he disappeared for quite some time , he came back .. she knew he would ..
She thought about all the nice things he did for her , that even her girlfriends would't even think of doing ..
All the perfect things he said .. always perfect .. always at the right time ..
He knew her better than anyone , inside out ..
And more importantly , she was falling for him ..
More each second ..
Those few days felt awful .. she felt like she was cheating on 3aziz .. abusing her friendship with 7arith ..
but there was a thing about the dream , it made her realy think ..
She had to start living again .. she had to do it for her .. and for 3aziz too
Maybe she wasn't too crazy about the idea of 7arith as a lover at the moment .. but she knew she had to get her best friend 7arith back at least ..
She'll know where to go from there ,
After all , if he could survive all the crazy talk , crazy attitude thing with her ..
he was one hell of guy !
A guy that was worth it
As 7arith sat watching Gorgeous Italian actresses , chefs and weather girls on tv, he kept hating himself
WHY ?!!
Why did he have to fall in love with Sara ?
Why her ?
He could've even got those beautiful girls on Italian TV too!
He wasn't being arrogant or too full of himself , it was true !
It was a fact !
No girl would say no to 7arith ..
And that was by experience
He remembered all the times when he and Yousif would go out , girls would literally come running to them
He smiled at the memory
But his best friend was finaly cought , he was finaly totaly and unconditionaly in love with a girl that he shouldn't be in love with
Just like him ..
But Yousif did it anyway ..
Love aside .. Sara was acting so wierd lately , he knew she was avoiding him
except this time he had no idea why .. he didn't say anything that would upset her , nor did he mistreat her in anyway..
So what was wrong ?
He wasn't the type of guy that would crawl for a girl .. espacialy for a girl that was doing THIS to him ..
From that moment 7arith made a promise to himself .. he decided to give Sara a taste of her own medicine
He wasn't going to be mean or hurt her in any way , no ..
But he just wanted her to see what it was like ..
just as that thought crossed his mind .. the doorbell rang
He opened the door to see her .. see the face he was picturing for hours .. in fact days ..
He couldn't help but smile
" Hey 7arith .. " Sara said as she bit her lip ,
nope , he decided he won't fall for that .. he remembered his promise
" Walah zain thakra esmee b3d ... "
She giggled awkwardly " common don't be like that .. i was just .. busy "
" Aha .. silly me ! the girl was busy .. " he hit his head playfuly with his hand
Sara laughed this time , he tried not to fall for that either .. and boy did he try hard ..
" 7arith am sorry .. i .. i came to invite you over for lunch ? "
Okay .. maybe he was going to keep a small amount of the promises he made .. a small lunch ..
But he still put boundries .. it couldn't be that easy for her to walk in and out of his life like that..
though he doubted he could do that to her , he decided to at least try ..
7arith wasn't the guy to put up with these games
" Alright fine .. i'll have lunch , but you have alot of explaining to do .. "
" hmm .. i know .. i know .. " she admitted
he smiled and excused himself to close up his place and go
" The place is very nice .." 7arith said as he checked out the place ,
" No kidding .. it comes with waitresses too ! " Sara commented as she watched 7arith not only check the place .. but the tall Italian girls too
Okay .. funny feeling here .. , she said to herself
She had to admit , she didn't like it
7arith smiled to himself , yep .. he was a guy that could play this game too
" Damn you chose the right place .. " he nodded and sipped his water ,
Sara pressed on her lips and pretended to smile " So .. how've you been ? "
" Oh ! good good .. keeping busy myself you know.."
" Oh yeah ? .. what were you up to ? " Sara smiled , suddenly glad he wasn't checking out any girls anymore
" Well .. you know i couldn't help be in the same place with all these pretty woman and not take a shot at my chances .. "
Sara rolled her eyes
" I saw this tall tanned babe by the market .. man was she a pretty picture "
" Mhm .. that's .. well .. i don't .. " She tried to find the words , but she was lost
Man this stupid feeling ! , go away !!
She kept saying to herslef
He laughed " No i mean i asked her out .. nice girl .. little truobled english though .. but i bet she could get an A in other subjects too "
" OKAAAY ! too much information ! " She said as she picked up a peace of bread and stuffed it in her mouth angrily
God she HATED this conversation !
He laughed , as he looked a little too deep into her eye .. he knew he had her ..
" Am sorry .. but heey S common ! where's your spirit ?! "
" I don't think i have a spirit for hot Italian girls .. and dirty .. talk .. stuff " She frowned not liking to put any words into action
He laughed again , " Am sorry boo .. tell me how's your week been ? "
" it was good .. realy .. realy .. good .. " She sighed as she watched another tall girl passed by ,
Seriously , was she wearing a skirt or just a tiny ribbon to cover her butt ? , she did't know
7arith looked down and smiled , there was a few more tests to come ..
He decided to take it easy now , but he was eager to know
he had to know .. and soon ..
By the time they had to pay the check , 7arith didn't let Sara pay ofcourse .. even if she was the one with the invitation
The waitress happily placed the check in his hands and he took it gladly ..
As he opened it , he found a name and a number written on it , with a little heart
He laughed " Woah .. Guess this place has more than food to offer ., " He realy didn't mean for that to slip out !
He didn't mean to make Sara's face become more red , but he had to admit .. even if it wasn't planned ..
That was a bonus for him ..
A bonus for his plan ..
All the way back Sara listened gladly to him talk about what he wanted in a girl , think about who to choose from the available alternatives and ask what she thought ..
She played nicely , remembered what she said about being a good friend ..
But she didn't know how much she could handle ,
7arith wasn't completely awful .. it wasn't all about girls ..
But thast was what Sara kept thinking about ..
And she hated it
She hated that he was being hit on
She hated that he wanted to see girls in Italy
She hated that he was talking about it !
She hated all of it !
" So .. wana go to the movies tomorrow ? " she finaly heard him say
" Hmm? .." She blinked
" wana go bacher ? see a movie ?"
" Okay yeah .. that would be cool .. " She smiled
" Cool .. " he smiled
Oh god no , don't smile like that , she kept thinking
Why did he have to be so hot ?
It was making it harder !
They arrived to her doorstep , said goodbye and she entered her house
well there was an upside to the story .. he wanted to hang out with HER tomorrow and not those other girls
common he was STILL her best friend , her 7arith ..
But there was a small part of her that was afriad he might not be for long
She quickly washed that thought away , and wished tomorrow would be great ..
Greater than today ,
She remembered his smile and her heart skipped a beat
