_________________________________________________________________________________________________-

Reem closed the door with her eyes wide open and jaw dropped, she couldn’t believe that Ali's studio  is just across the street from her apartment.

She put the cupcakes on the coffee table and sat on the couch turned the TV on and started thinking about him.

He was so different?! He saved her life and then turned out to be a rude guy and then he was her best friend's cousin and NOW he works across the street?

Something about Ali made Reem want to know more about him, his dark black hair, his sharp looks and deep black eyes, everything about him was dark even his character and she wanted to know more.
.
.
.

Ali sat on his office and took a deep breath, Reem suddenly popped in his life and she's… she's just not leaving it!

"ALII!"

Ali sighed: WHAT?

Ali walked down stairs and found 2 boxes that weren’t opened.

"their labels says home"

Ali sighed and carried one box: Jake help me with the other one
.
.
.

Ahlaain mama!

Shlonch 7abebte?

Reem: b5aaair el7imdallah!

Mother: wain b5aair! Reema chinch tha3fana?

Reem giggled: la mama ytarawalich

Mother: ga3da takleen 3adil?

Reem: ee !!

Mother: ifff farg bain akilhoum ele mafe 6a3im o akilna!

Reem smiled.

Suddenly a big belly showed in the picture, Reem laughed

Reem: 3aboooooor wa5ray karshich shway ma gimt ashof wayh omi!

Abeer: waay Reema tadren ine ga3da an6ir el youm ele bit7amleen feh 3ala naaar! Wala la athbi7ich 6naza min awal you!

Reem and her mother laughed.

Abeer: ila agool 3asa ma 7abaitelch wa7id engalaizi min warana?

Reem laughed: waay 3abeer min 9ijch!

Abeer: ee 7abebte 3ashan bachr tyeeben 3yal shigir o zirg wana 3yale y6l3on chil7an mil7an!

Reem laughed: ila ta3alaya mita ib tolden?

Abeer: madri bas 7adii mwa9la 5ala9!

Mother: 9arlich shahar tgoolen hal jumla!

Reem laughed, she really missed her family.
.
.
.

Ali took out a photo frame and put it on his office, He stared at the details of the frame, the details of the happy faces that are no longer happy, the people that are no longer in his life.

The phone rang, he picked it up "hello.. yes.. aha.. yeah sure! At 9 o clock tomorrow? See u then …thank you"

Ali: JAAAAKE!

Jake: what!

Ali: I'm off to the supermarket … I'll be back soon
.
.
.

Reem closed her lap top, dragged a chair and put it in front of the window and did what she does everyday… watch the streets, the people and sky  

She noticed a lot of colorful balloons, a guy was holding them and his face was covered by them, she noticed a blonde walking behind him and laughing with him, he held the balloons with his other hand and that's how she saw his face.

Reem: Ali?!

Ali was holding the balloons and the blonde lady was walking with him? Who is she? What are they doing with the balloons? WHAT IS SHE DOING WITH HIM?

__________________________________________________________________________________________


Reem froze in her place, she felt her heart beat in her ears.




Asma: Reema refejti min wi7na 9'3ar



Reem's hand touch his and she remembered him holding her hand and saving her life last night.



Ali let go of her hand: wil ni3im feha



Reem: yin3am ib 7alik



Awkward silence filled the place, Ali kept on staring at Reem while she had her eyes on the floor, she used to say that Kuwait is small and now LONDON is small!



Ali: fur9a sa3eda ya umm



Reem lifted her head mida yinsa ismi?



Asma waay yfashil: Reem!!



Ali: fur9a sa3eeda ya Reem



Reem: wana as3ad



Ali left them standing and walked outside, Reem stood in her place without saying a word, she really couldn’t believe that the rude guy that saved her life yesterday was the sensitive person that she saw through his photographs and he was her best friends cousin!



Reem sighed.



Asma: umm aloo?



Reem: ha?



Asma: wain sara7tay?!



Reem: ma sara7t!



Asma wiggled her eyebrows: aha



Reem giggled: haw shfech?



Asma: mafene shay



Asma wanted to explain to Reem how harsh can Ali be sometimes but he had his reasons! Asma couldn’t tell Reem, she didn’t want Reem to judge him or feel sorry for him.



Reem wanted to tell Asma about the mysterious guy that saved her life and that the guy turned out to be Ali!



Reem: umm Asom china lazm amshe?



Asma: laish? Shwarach?



Reem: ma waray shay bas ta3bana o barid el bait arayi7 o '3air chithi ma kalamt omi min awal ma yet fa-



Asma: skype?



Reem: ee bil thab6 3ashan chithi barid



Asma found the perfect reason for Reem to leave without knowing that she helped her fake a reason!



Reem: khal asalim 3ala ahalich wamshe



Asma: ok


.


.


.



Ali inhaled the smoke and leaned on the wall behind him, the cold winds of the night made him chill, he closed his eyes and remembered his house back home… how warm it was even on the coldest days.. he remembered his parents.. Ali remembered his mother's tears and his father's cold stare when he left.



Ali took a deep breath



"Waay Remo maleeqa!"



Reem: yalla bye



Reem stepped out of the gallery and continued walking, she didn’t notice Ali standing.



"ib tamsheen lay sha8itich? Lal7en ma ta3almaty min ele 9ar ams?"



Reem froze in her place and turned around and found Ali leaning on the wall and a big Smokey cloud around him.



"You're ready to go Miss Reem?"



Reem smiled at the driver: yes



Ali shook his head, Reem was walking to her car! He inhaled his cigarette for the last time threw it on the floor stepped on it and walked inside without looking at Reem.



She sighed and got in the car, she really didn’t know how to deal with him! She didn’t even know him!


.


.


.



Ali got in his apartment, threw his keys on the coffee table and sat on the couch



His mobile buzzed



Hi Ali.. I heard about your gallery I miss you and wish u all the best



Ali sighed and deleted the message, he threw himself on bed and closed his eyes.


.


.


.



Reem looked out of the window, a new store was being redecorated in front of her apartment, Reem put her hand on the window and smiled the weather was cold.



She was in the mood for a walk around the town, she grabbed her coat, scarf and walked outside, Reem stepped out of the building with a huge smile on her face, she loved the fact that she was freezing to death even with the jackets and coat!



Reem walked into the best bakery in west Hampstead "bake a boo"



She sniffed the smell of the freshly baked cupcakes.


.


.


.



"Mo sh'3lich tgoleleha.. olla kil hal salfa zalat elsan"


.


.


.



Reem was walking back to her apartment when she noticed a man who was across the street he was talking on the phone he looked so furious his hands were moving all over the place, he was shaking his head with disagreement, he turned around and she saw his face.



Ali?



She quickly looked at the other side, shesawi hne?



Reem wanted to walk to her apartment then she decided to walk to Ali, she thought that they meet on the wrong foot maybe? She walked across the street and Ali walked inside a store.



Reem got in she looked around and didn’t find Ali, the store was still under constriction



"May I help you miss?"



Reem turned to her left and found a man standing.



Reem: umm is Ali here?



"Yes he's in his office upstairs.. um ur a friend of his?"



Reem: umm I



"ALII! UR FRIEND IS WAITING FOR YOU!"



Reem: oh no I-



Ali: I don’t have friends! Ask him to leave



"She's a sheeeeeeeeeeeee!!"



Reem's eyes winded: ok ok I better leave



"ALI!"



Ali: IM COMING !



Reem heard Ali's footsteps on the stairs and she knew that it was a BAD idea, Reem walked to the door, she actually felt like running away.



Ali: umm yes?



Reem closed her eyes tight and turned around, she noticed Ali's face changing, Ali shock his head and gave Reem half a smile, Reem's smile grew wider



Ali: refejat Asom?



Reem: Reem Al Flani



Ali: aha



Awkward silence filled the place



Ali: Ummm



Reem: kint badish sha8iti o shiftik bara



Ali: sha8itich?!



Reem: ee.. kahi



Reem pointed at the building in front of the store, Ali looked outside and gulped.



Reem: umm hal ma7al-



Ali: hatha gallery… umm mukane



Reem: mukanik?



Ali: uhh



"WELL ITS HIS GALLERY NOT MINE!"



Reem looked back at Ali's friend and looked back at Ali



Reem: ur gallery?



Ali nodded: sharait el mukan el isbo3 ele 6af



Reem's eyes winded, Ali will be just a cross the street?

____________________________________________________________________________________________

Reem wore her off-white blazer and was ready to go, she stood in front of the mirror and
stared at her reflection, she wore a black dress and an off white blazer and put her hair in a messy bun.

Her mobile buzzed it was a message from Asma with the address.

Reem picked up her clutch and walked out of her apartment.
.
.
.
"ali"

Ali turned around: na3am?

Asma stared at her cousin for a while.

Ali: umm Asom?

Asma: ufff sha3rik ybi6 el chabd rida lay wara shway!

Ali: agooool

Asma: goool

Ali: 3a6eena mgafach  

Asma: waay maleeeq!

Ali walked away from Asma.

Asma: agool 3laiwi

Ali turned around: 5air?

Asma: bitye Reema refejti chan zain t3amilha zaaaain!

Ali raised an eyebrow: o shfeeha mu3amalte?

Asma giggled: la abad ma feha shay

.
.
.
Reem got out of the cab and stood in front of the gallery, it was full of people she took a deep
breath and walked inside, she looked around for familiar faces but didn’t find any, Reem grabbed her mobile to call Asma.

"REEEMA!!"

Reem raised her head and found Asma standing.

Reem: ahlain Asooma!

Asma: allah sh.hal kash5a

Reem was about to open her mouth when she heard her name again.

Reeeema!!

Reem turned around and found Asma's mother: 5alti Nora!

"Shlonch?"

Reem: b5air el 7imdallah

"Ta3alay 5al a3arfch 3ala ahalna! Kilhoum yayen ma59ooo9 7ag 3alawi"

Reem greeted everyone with a smile on her face

"o hatha oboy"

Asma giggled, Reem smiled.

Asma's father was talking on the phone "baini o bainik zain ma yaw…walaw ina aked 7az ib kha6ir 3ali bas a7sanla"

Reem noticed that Asma took a deep breath.
.
.
.
.
"Bo 3alwa.. psst! Bo 3alwa"

Ali: 5air?

"Mnu el mazyoona ele ma3a omi?"

Ali turned to his left and saw a familiar face, he was sure that he saw her somewhere , he
wasn’t sure that it was the same person that he had in mind, a young lady stood beside Asma, she was wearing a black dress, her eye were the first thing that caught his attention.

Ali: la aked mu ihya

"Mnu mo ihya??"

Ali: 3azoz 7abebe iglib wayhik

Aziz: afa! Shda3wa bu 3alwa!

Ali: yallah 9abrik!

Aziz: bo 3alwa 6wil balik ma3ay! ana ib mood ene a7ib! dash hal mazaj ib qiwa el youm!

Ali: bas el youm ib mood inik t7ib? inta kil youm 7ab!

Aziz laughed.
Ali turned to the opposite side where Reem was standing, a million thought went through his head ma38ola tkon ihya? O shili yayibha hne?

Ali got himself  busy with the people while Reem took a tour around.

Reem was staring at a photo, it was a photo of a young girl crossing the street she was wearing a tutu, the whole picture was black and white and the girls tutu was pink.

Reem smiled and kept on staring, she felt that the photographer was a sensitive person, and a sad one, Most of the photos were black & white, most of the people in the photos were sad, some of the photos had a glance of hope with their pale colors.

"Reeema!!"

Reem: Asoma! Way shofaay hal 9o-

Asma: Reem Al Flani

Reem turned around and found a guy standing beside Asma, her eyes winded she couldn’t believe that it was HIM!

Asma: a3arfich 3ala mu9awirna el mubdi3 Ali Al Flani!

Asma nudged Ali, he stretched his hand towards Reem's hand.

Enjoy it;**

________________________________________________________________________________________________


Reem was walking back to her apartment, it was cold and the dark streets of London were empty, A cold wind blew and chilled her, even though her jacket was zipped to her chin she shoved her hands into the jacket's pockets.




Reem heard a loud laugh, she stood in her place and looked around, she heard a scream, she started walking faster than before, her heart was beating so fast, she heard a lot of foot steps behind her, when she went faster the sound of the footsteps went faster until a loud voice made her freeze in her place.

 "HELLOO THERE!"

 
Reem took a deep breath and turned around, she saw two tall guys standing, she took a step back and felt someone behind her.



"where you going love?"



Reem stayed silent and kept staring at them, they were obviously drunk and she didn’t want to piss them off, One of the guys started walking towards her.



She was shaking and a lot of ideas were going through her head, her legs were numb she couldn’t move.



Reem took a step and hit something.



Reem: way yuma!!

 Reem quickly turned around and found a guy standing, The look that he had on his face was so sharp, he grabbed Reem's wrist.



Reem wanted to pull away but he held her tight.

 "The show is over"
 "OH COME ON"



The guy held Reem's hand and walked away from them, she could hear them whining and cursing him, she was so surprised how did they back off once they saw him.

 Reem pulled her hand away from the man once the voices behind them were gone.



Reem: umm thank you so much I-



: "Way yuma? Ha?

 Reem raised an eyebrow Kuwaiti?



: Kuwaitiya?



Reem nodded: ee



:"inzain ya 7ilwa ahalich ma 3alimoch ina ma y9er bnaya ti6la3 bro7ha ib hal 7aza?"



Reem didn’t like the way he talked to her: o min 7athritik 3ashan t7achene chithi?



:7athriti ele an8atht 7ayatich gabil digigtaain etha ma la7a'6taayy ya3ni!

 The guy lit a cigarette and inhaled the smoke.



Reem stood in front of him: mashkor! Adil baje 6ireje



:mit2akda bitriden bro7ich?



Reem: ee mit2akda!



The guy shrugged his shoulder: Kaifich

 Reem: umm mashkor

 
:"el3afo"


The strange guy left Reem and walked away, she rushed to her building.



.


.


.

 -Next morning-



Reem stood in the middle of the apartment and looked around, the maroon walls, the smell of burned wood, the wooden floor, everything was the same yet it looked so different, She was different, Reem opened all curtains, London's warm sun rays entered the apartment, she smiled and sat on the couch.



"deray balich 3ala nafsich" Reema heard her mother's voice in her ears, a tear escaped her eyelids, she knew how hard it was for her mother to let her go but she needed to leave Kuwait, Reem needed a break! She closed her eyes tightly and remembered Zaid, her best friend who proposed and she couldn’t say no! Reem knew if she refused to Marry him she'll lose him, she never thought that she'll "literary" lose him, Zaid passed away after a car crash and left Reem behind.

 
She stood up and walked to her window, it was a normal working and busy day in London.



*KNOCK KNOCK*



Reem haw mnu ele biye hal 7aza: im coming



*KNOCK KNOCK*

 
Reem: IM COMING!



"REEEMOO BA6LAAY EL BAB!"



Reem giggled she couldn’t believe it! She left Kuwait but Kuwait never left her.

 Reem opened the door and her eyes were wide open.



Reem: ASOM!

 Asma: AHHHHHHH REMA!!



Reem: AHHH



Asma: YAL MALEEQA INTAY MIN MITA HNE WANA MADRI!



Reem: ams yeeeet!! Ma midaane akalmch!!Way ta3alay da5il shfeena wagfeeen bara



Asma was Reem's childhood friend, Asma's father had a good job offer in London and they left Kuwait, Even though Asma was 7 hours away from Reema they remained close friends.



Asma: ta3alay golele sha5barich!

 Reem: shraych tsawele ryoog 3ala ma abdail wayeech?



Asma: waay ma midane shiftich ila bidaitay tit2amraain!



Reem: ASOM!



Asma giggled: okay okay



Reem walked to her room and Asma walked to the kitchen.



Asma: AGOOL REEMO



Reem: asoma mu lazm t9ar5en asmi3ich



Asma: INZAIN AGOOL



Reem giggled: na3am?

Asma: ee

Asma: Agoool

Reem grabbed the sandwich and sat on the counter in front of Asma.

 Asma laughed: ok
