Fay: hi

Fay stretched her hands to Lama, Lama stared at her.

Fay: 3aib a7ad ymid eda o ma tsalmen

Lama: lu t3arfen el 3aib chan ma tamaitay t7osen wara rayal mitzawij

Fay was shocked and Lama noticed that.

Lama: 3ayaz o ohwa ygolch wakhray o ya7girch o ham yayita el maktab?!

Fay: 7ayati.. ana o Barak n7ib ba3ath min akthar min sabi3 sneen 3abalich btyeen shahar wala shahrain o btnaseena?

Lama had no idea what to reply, Fay was right.

"Lama, Shoug? Baba sh3indkom hne?"

Lama turned around and found Barak's father standing.

Shoug: yuba yet akhith minik el awrag o Lama yat wiyay!

Father: shakhbarich Lama?

Lama smiled: bkhair 3ami

Shoug and her father walked to his office, Lama turned back to Fay.

She saw Barak walk towards her, he held her hand: 3an ethnch Fay

Barak walks with Lama to his office and closes the door, she quickly lets go of his hand.

Lama: laish yaraitne? Laish ma khalaitne abard chabdi feha? Khayif 3ala masha3irha?

Barak: yanaitaay?!! Lama tabene akhaleekom tit'hawshon eb ni9 el sharika!! Wain ga3deeen?

Lama wanted to speak but Barak didn’t allow her.

Barak: sim3ene bil awal! Mo 7ala! Youm t3algene fech o youm 9ada 3ane!

Lama: 3ayal ana 7ala ele 3ayshat'ha? Youm lee o youm laha?

Barak took a deep breath and sat down.

Lama: el kil mla7ith shkithkir a7bik Barak

Barak looked at Lama, he was really shocked.

Lama: wana ala7ith wayed ashya2 3anik winta ma tadre

Barak: Lama-

Lama wiped a tear away: bas inta ma tla7ith shay Barak, ma tla7ith ina kil ele ga3da asawe la2ane-

Lama's phone rang and interrupted them.

Lama picked it: Hala Shoug.. okay kani yaya

Barak: la tro7een.. ana aridch el bait

Lama: kisart kha6rik?

Barak looked away.

Lama: mabe aksir kha6rik Barak.. abeek t7ibne! Abe galbik y3awrik 3alay!

Lama left Barak standing and walked to the door.

Barak sat on the first chair he found, he felt that he was boiling, he was sweating.

He opened the first buttons of his dishdasha and rested his head on his hand.

Barak parked his car, he noticed Lama's car parked outside, he smiled.

Barak's phone rang: "hala bo Jasim.. ee ee inshallah! Galole elsa3a 5! Ee 3ayal shtabe t7in min al7een! Yalla yalla iglib wayhik"

Barak walked to the house, and walked upstairs.

He found Lama sleeping on the couch and Shoug sitting beside her watching TV.

Barak: guwa

Barak smiled.

Shoug: Lamaaa

Lama opened her eyes and found Barak sitting beside her feet, she sat straight.

Barak smiled: 9a7 elnoom

Barak smiled, he wanted to hear it from her.

Barak was heading back home, he felt really tired and his chest felt heavy, he couldn't breathe properly.

He finally reached home, parked his car.

Barak felt weak as he walked to the door, his lips were purple and dry..everything was getting a bit blurry, and his steps were very heavy.

He was about to take a couple of steps up the stairs, when he couldn't feel his body anymore.
