I watched her eat happily, we almost ordered half the menu. Her crazy way ofcourse.. dessert first! so we started off with some vanilla ice cream with a huge cherry on top. Then the delicious appetizers and main courses came flooding in.


I love how she's a big fan of food, not like other girls who always claim they have to watch what they eat. She didn't seem to mind, and her body wasn't too slim or too curvy.. She was just perfect. For a few seconds i wondered where it all goes, the food i mean. Then she looked at me, smiled and i forgot what i was thinking.


" Wahab? " She asked and i blinked, surprised " hmm? "


She giggled " Shfeek sar7an? "


I gave her a devilish smile and she quickly understood, she blushed and stared at her plate


" Here try this, " She picked up the spoon and fed me something " It's baby chicken with avocado's "


I HATED avocados, 'til she made me try them with that chicken. But i didn't tell her that, i just smiled and ate as she fed me, she seemed to enjoy it and i didn't mind.


" So why did you cancel the other day were you okay? you sounded weird.. " I asked casually, and then she was caught by surprise, flipping the spoon by mistake and making it fall on the ground, splashing a little sauce on my new shirt.


I was surprised to see her that way, she almost seemed.. scared. I looked at her with huge question marks over my brain, but i was mostly concerned about her.


" Am so sorry! " She was even more nervous, she tried picking the spoon off the ground but i stopped her, holding her hand.. But she took it away and reached for a napkin " Look at what i did to you, am so sorry .. " She picked up and napkin and reached for my shirt, trying to wipe it with all her strength


" Hey hey.. it's okay.. " I told her gently " It's okay " I took away the napkin, held her hand closer to my chest and pulled her towards me " Am sorry, if you don't want to tell me that's fine ". Her head was right below my chin and i breathed into her hair, i could feel her heart pounding.. But it slowed down as she settled and relaxed more into my huge arms.



" Noooo " She looked up, " It's not that.. i was just caught by surprise by the question that's all " She giggled nervously, but i knew it was much more than that..


" That's okay, i never saw you this nervous before.. and i kind of like it " I smiled crookedly at her and she made a face


" Here " I picked up my spoon and made her try my steak " Mmm goood " she smiled, and i lifted my eyebrows


" You don't like it do you?! " I asked


She crinkled her nose and smiled " Umm i think i need one more bite.. "


I smiled and fed her once again, " Now? " i asked, she looked up as if questioning it " Mmmm i don't know .. " THEN i knew what she was doing


I smiled at her " You're doing this coz you like me feeding you, don't you ? "



" Uhh yes? " She put on a smile and i almost saw a fake halo up her head


I laughed, put the spoon down and looked deep into her eyes and she looked back


" You don't have to do that you know .. inty bas ashray, i'll feed you all you want " I said brushing my finger with her cheek slowly



She didn't move away this time, like she always did when she felt shy..


She held my gaze a little longer than she did before and then looked down at the table


" Yalla, presents " i said


" No am not done with my food " She suddenly said


" Bawaklich b3d shway, bs awal a36eech el hadeyya "


" Akeed? "



I laughed and picked up the bag off the floor


I knew she was struggling when i was opening the box, she wasn't the most patient person in the world


I looked at her in the process, she was wide eyed like a kid waiting for his ice cream to be ready "Wayed 3ndech action w fu'6ool ma tgderen tan6eren afta7 el hadeyya ? "


" La2.. yo3ana magdar an6er 3ala ma akil marra thanya, bashof shkither yabeelik tba6il el hadeyya "


I stopped opening her gift and she giggled " am kidding! "


" Mo mal surprise intay "


She laughed " Wahab "


I took out the small silver necklace and reached for her neck to put it on, she seemed to shiver when i moved closer, i could see her breathing was heavier and her chest was moving with every breath.. She didn't look at me, she just waited for me to finish as i put it on


While i was straightening it, i noticed a few red marks in her neck, and a few more circles down near the heart shaped crystal, i was taken aback at first, i wondered (what was going on there?!)



I looked at her shifting in her seat " I had a little accident the other day at the dentist " She giggled " You how clumsy i can get and with the kids around " She tried to laugh but it didn't come out right to me.. i couldn't tell her a thing.. nor could i figure out what was up



I was mostly angry for her, angry at the thing that caused it and angry because she felt like she couldn't tell me


But we were having the most wonderful time and i didn't want to ruin it, i tried so hard to believe what she told me .. but if there was an expert in cuts and bruises, it was me. I figured it was just an accident she was embarrassed to tell me about .. or would tell me about eventually just not now. I could see her face, she was so sad, she felt uncomfortable and she wasn't smiling any more..


I quickly moved towards her and kissed the crown of her head " Salamat " I whispered to her, she looked up at me and her eyelashes tickled my chin, i smiled at her and i could feel her breath on my cheek


I kissed her cheek and she giggled again, i was glad.


I loved her childish grin, her crazy attitude and her silliness " NOW you can eat " I jokingly said " Not until i give you your gift, she picked up a box and opened it, it was a black watch with a silver frame, there were small silver initials in the middle ( D&G) and i loved it. It seemed like the type of thing i'd wear


" So every "time" you'd remember me! " she was excited " Get it? " she laughed " AND so you wouldn't be late again " She teased



I grinned and pulled her closer to me " Thank you " i told her, she tried to put it on my wrist "Perfect"


" Yes, you are " I took her hand into mine " NOW you should eat " I told her " Am not that hungry anymore " She blushed " Let's go, " I paid, and lead her to the car



We rolled down the windows, the weather was amazingly good, Shaikha's hair was flying and she was smiling all the way. We cruised a bit by the sea side and i never let go of her hand while i was driving, when i pressed her hand she pressed back


I had this plan, a surprise for her.. we didn't take long at the restaurant and there was still 3 hours until i had to take her home; so i drove in silence and we were both listening to Mu6rif's CD that was in my car. She was too happy i could tell, she even forgot to ask me where we were going


But of course the road was a bit long so she asked me midway " so where are you taking me now? "


" You'll see " I smiled


She didn't push it, she just waited.. But i could tell she recognized the way



" Shalaih " She grinned as we were close to pulling up to park


" I had to bring you to the first place we met "


She grinned



I lead her out and we took a very long walk along the shore, she took off her shoes and walked close to me, we talked until we were tired, The lights were all reflected on the surface of the sea and it was beautiful and calm, the sounds of the waves crashing and tickling our feet calmed us down. It was like this place missed us and was welcoming us back


On the way back, we passed by our shalaih's , next to each other.. abandoned after a long time, well, at least mine looked like it was abandoned..


When we were close enough, Shaikha freezed, squeezed my hand and held me back from moving



She seemed to be lost for words, " I had the place arranged by Mulla il 9iby .. "



She didn't talk, but she seemed to tear up. The place looked beyond incredible, i should give Mulla a very generous amount of money for what he did.



The front porch was all decorated by red flower petals laying around everywhere, small electric lights were decorating the top of the front fence and there was a table with a small box, and two chairs by it


She let go of my hand and hurried there, " This is beautiful .. " She looked around, then.. being Shaikha ATTACKED the box


There was a small cake inside and she grinned " There's no anniversary without cake " I told her, we sat and ate for a while



We were silent then, we had nothing to say we were just happy. Shaikha leaned on my chest for warmth, the cold breeze from the sea was attacking us but we didn't care



" Thank you, " She told me, not looking up " For everything " She whispered to me


" And thank you for being mine " I whispered back


Just then , interrupting the moment, was her mobile, It was time to go.



" C'mmon " we walked to the car, Mulla was standing beside it, i winked at him and gestured for him to clean up and he grinned at me



" Yalla aga7i9 feech lel bait " I said



" Wahab gilna our anniversary bs la teshta6 wayed i think you did enough for one day " I laughed and drove off



Then i got a text from 3baid:


You won't believe what just happened, i'll tell you when you get home.

“ Yeah but I’ll need some help.. I don’t DO shopping “


“ Fine I’ll go with you after lunch, I’ve got experience”


I stared at him wide eyed


“ Back when I had an actual girl to shop for, rakkiz! “


I laughed “ What happened 9ij?”


“ I don’t wana talk about it “


I would’ve pushed it even more, but he sounded serious and angry.. so I just dropped it “ So here we come DYNAMITE!!” I shouted to lighten up the mood and he smiled


“Hathy 7ilwa..” i held out a Swarovski necklace with a small crystal heart, it was beautiful. I imagined it on her, reflecting her dark hair and eyes and I quickly had the urge to buy it

“ Yeah that one’s nice” 3bdallah agreed


“ Baby!” I suddenly answered the phone, terrified! Hoping she didn’t see me.. I laughed nervously when I realized she was at home “ Ee ana m3a 3baid.. eheh.. ee adeg ana b3dain” I sighed after I shut the phone


3baid was looking at me up and down” 5ebel ent 5ebel?! Shfeek dageen 3alaik amn el dawla?!! Shfeek 5ayif? “


“ Ent chub la a5aleek tred eb taxi “


He rolled his eyes


I was so excited the next day, I couldn’t wait to see her. I couldn’t wait to give her the present. I took a long shower, got dressed in the newest shirt I bought from La Martina yesterday (3baid’s idea ofcourse) and was ready to go


“ Hey you..” She said into the phone, but she sounded muffled


“ Babe what’s wrong? “


“ Nothing.. nothing just umm.. can.. I know today’s is super important and I know we’ve been waiting for it but.. can we do it some other time?”


My heart sank, I was disappointed but mostly scared, what was up?


“ S-sure of course whatever you want, but can you at least tell me what’s wrong?”


“ No don’t worry walah it’s okay.. I just need to go with my father to do something and it might take a while”


“ I’ll wait for you, any time you’re ready boo” I said holding the phone tighter to my ear, hoping she’d still come


“ It’s just..” She wanted to say something I knew it” Just not today Wahhabii..” The way she said my name while she breathed into it, it was like something was aching in her, like she was hurting


“ Whatever you want” I said worriedly


“ Okay.. I’ll talk to you later” she said and quickly hung up


I was worried sick, but hoped for the best


“ She WHAT?!” 3baid said into the phone


“Al7een ana ele 9ayer fene, ent shaku met2azem?”


“ whayyib el necklaaace wel T-shiiirt, hal wagt kina ngdar nro7 n6ali3 feh el mbarat!”


“ Chub el mbarat ma3yooda, w b3dain ent ele ‘3a9ib btyee, elmohim.. wainik ent ana bamer 3amoor el dwaniya dam mako anniversary”


“ Ee yalla ana bas rayi7 achayik 3ala maw3ed el waled el sboo3 el yay.. wayeekom enshallah”


“ Mashy 9ar”

3baid walked into the hospital, said hello to a few people at the register and checked in to arrange the appointments for his dad


“ No I told you I don’t need this, no! swair it’s a bad idea “ 3baid heard someone say behind him, he took a quick glance behind him then looked again


What the-

IT was Shaikha! What was this?


A girl was playing around with the wheelchair and Shaikha was sitting on it, she was mad.. VERY mad. The girl was fooling around and Shaikha didn’t want to be seated in there he could tell


“ Sara my dad is waiting “ She said, she suddenly met the eyes of 3baid then she flinched, quickly looking away


Her friend turned away and quickly disappeared into the hospital


He shook his head, she couldn’t have possibly skipped her anniversary to come play on a hospital chair .. But didn’t Wahab say she worked in some sort of clinic? Maybe she was working.. or maybe she was here with someone and was goofing around out of boredom..She didn’t look sick, did she?



3baid shook those thoughts away, he only saw her for a split second.. plus, she will surely explain it later to Wahab.. He didn’t have the right to talk about this. Maybe it was personal, or maybe she would tell all to Wahab later.



He left the hospital and washed those thoughts way, heading straight to 3ammar’s house.



While all the guys were sitting there, Wahab’s phone rang and he took it outside. 3baid smiled knowing it was Shaikha.. “ Good, “ He thought, “ It’ll all be cleared out to him now, it’s none of my business”.


Wahab got back and sat next to him” Soo” 3baid winked “ Was it her?”



He smiled widely” Yea.. she just got caught up.. We’re meeting next weekend for sure”


3baid smiled” Cool, Yalla shabaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaab!!” He suddenly shouted “ Kout bo 6!! “ wahab smiled and jumped in to join the circle


The following week seemed to have taken forever to come. AbdulWahab was more than excited to see his girl again..


“ Whayyib tge6ny 3ala sayarty? Ga6ha 3nd bait 7mayin ams..”


“Yalla mashy, goom bs la nt2a5ar “


While the boys drove , listening to Mu6rif’s sweet tunes Wahab suddenly shouted “ KART!!”


“ Huh? “ 3baid wondered


“ 3baid kart! Ma sharaitlaha kart!!”


“5arra3tny allah yil3an ebleees!!!! E9fe6 e9fe6 yam Markaz sil6en Salwa”


“ Yalla degeega w yay!” He left the engine running, and 3baid stayed in the car


Abdullah laughed, the girl got his cousin sprung ..

3baid was glad Wahab seemed so happy.. after all he’s been through 3 months ago, no one would recognize him now..



He was the scariest guy, a very dark sense of humor.. most people looked away when he passed them! They were too afraid he’d start a fight.


Now he was different, he seemed calm and collected.. he seemed HAPPY. He laughed and joked and his face got it’s color back.. 3bdallah was glad.. he actually wanted to thank Shaikha . She must be some girl to have did all this.


The door was opened and closed so fast making the noisiest sound ever, it was like a rock being broken


“ Woah woooow! What up dude?!!” 3baid said


Wahab didn’t talk, he just pushed the gas pedal as hard as possible, making the car SQUEACK in the process



“ whayyib shway shway shfeek ga7a9t?!! yannait??!!!”


Wahab didn’t seem to be with him at the moment


“ Whayyib! Shfeek?!” 3baid repeated


“ It’s her..”


“ WHAT?! Who? Shaikha? “


“ It’s her.. the girl I was telling you about..”


3baid was confused.. then he quickly remembered “ Oh no.. not that girl again.. “


Wahab seemed determined, he was following her


“ Whayiib la tyin! Shaikha na6retek 5al hathy twally goom roo7 7g el bnt”


Wahab didn’t answer him


“ Whayyib.. shfeek ya5ook 5alha twally shfeek..”


3baid saw that scary looking face again, there was NO talking him out of anything.. Wahab was PISSED


“ GODDD!!!” HE suddenly shouted, I” lost her!”


“ Wahab! Ge6ny bser3a w goom roo7 7g el bent! Ent yannait?! Shfeek? 5alha twally yuba shal salfa ele mo ra’6ya t5ali9? “


Wahab calmed down again, he seemed to realize what he was doing


“ You’re right.. am sorry I didn’t know what’s gotten into me” he slowly said


“ It’s not me you should apologize to.. it’s nearly 8 your girl is waiting “


Wahab looked at the clock, he looked broken.. he quickly picked up the phone and called her. Luckily she had just arrived at the restaurant and he just finished dropping 3baid off


“ Go get her dog “ 3baid punched his cousin “ and DRIVE , el tag7eeee9 el sa3a 9 3nd bara7at 7mayin bacher mo elyoom! soog wely y3afeek roo7 7g el bnya “


He laughed and drove off


When he finally arrived, he saw Shaikha wearing a light silver blouse with small crystal beads all over it and very long flowy white trousers, she looked like magic .. and the necklace would go great with it.



What the hell was I thinking?, Wahab wondered, She smiled when she saw him approach and he smiled back


How could I leave THIS waiting for me?.. He thought mesmerized by her, The waiter closed the door of their private table and he slowly sat beside her, she was still smiling shyly, when wahab looked deeper into her eyes, she looked away “ Am sorry “ He said gently


“ For what? I didn’t wait long..” She told him


“ Am just sorry “ He whispered to her again and she grinned at him


He was in love.
