*its seems like most of you choose to be on Hamad's team! I haven't decided the ending yet so I'm on both teams ;p



________________________________________________________________



AlZainah: Faisaaaal wayhik a9faaaar!!




Faisal: tawni 6ali3 min elmistashfa aked bekoun a9far!




Faisal laid down on the coach, AlZainah sat beside his head.





AlZainah: inzain shgalolik?



Faisal: sawole fi7ou9aat o galaw lama ti6la3 el nitayij ndig 3alaik





AlZainah: Faisal mu mla7ith inik 9ayir wayed tamrith hal cham isbou3?

Faisal: mako ila el3afya la t7ateen





AlZainah gave Faisal half a smile and was busy with her thoughts.




Sara: Zayon yallah?




Faisal: wain btro7on?




Sara: el jam3a!! bn7ous 3ala eldicatra nyami3lina cham 3alama




AlZainah grabbed her purse: Faisal awal ma ygolonlik shfeek goule!!




Faisal smiled and nodded: enshallah!


.

 While walking to the main door AlZainah noticed that Hamad was leaning on the wall and smoking.




"Zayoon hatha mo Hamad?" Sara whispered. 




"Osh wala kilma la t6al3eeen 9ouba!! china ma nadre ina mawjod!!"




"AlZainah?"




AlZainah turned around: Hi!!



Hamad: shakhbarich?




AlZainah: bkhaair winta?




Hamad: tamaam!!




Hamad gave Sara half a smile and a nod she smiled back.




AlZainah: zayir mnu?




Hamad: mo zayir a7ad! 77 mawjod bara o yay achayik ina kilshay tamam




AlZainah: oh 9ij!!! 




Hamad nodded: wintay sh3indch? class?

Hamad: el project ele 3ind Rashed?




AlZainah nodded.





Hamad: imshay arou7 wiyach




AlZainah smiled, she was so happy that Hamad is being sweet and thoughtful, She looked at Sara.




"ummm ana 3indi class! barou7!" Sara lied.




AlZainah and Hamad walked to Rashed's office. 




"Halaaaaaaaa!! 7ayalllaaaah Hmaaaaid"




Hamad laughed: alllah y7ayeeek!!




AlZainah smiled.




Hamad: yaay wiyaa AlZainah AlFlani binchayik grade el project




AlZainah stood behind Hamad.




Dr. Rashed: yayba was6itich wiyach?




AlZainah giggled and nodded.




Hamad sat down: shnu el grade?




Dr.Rashed: 8.5




Hamad: afa!!!




AlZainah: mashkouur dictor!




AlZainah walked out of the office.





Hamad: la7tha la7thaa



AlZainah stood in her place.




Hamad: Rashed! shda3wa 8.5!




Dr.Rashed laughed: eee 8.5 taqreeban 9!





Hamad: khalas 3ayal khal 9 tistahil AlZainah




AlZainah smiled.



Dr. Rashed: AlZainah you may leave



AlZainah smiled: ok thank you!!




.



.

A week passed, It was AlZainah's midterm week, a week full of tutors, worksheets, calculates and exams halls.


"Waay 9arle isbou3 mo shayfa rab3e! wala mkalmt'hom 3adil!! bas ashof Hesso la2anha ma3ay ib class!" 



Her father: ee baba ro7ay shofeehom! aw khal iyonch!



AlZainah: la la ana baro7 7ag Sara o kilhom biyon hnak!

AlZainah: hal 7aza?

AlZainah: umm tsa3idhom eb shnu??



Father: Hamad eb yfta7 fir3 7ag ma63ima ib Dubai 



AlZainah: wow, zain ysawe!! bye baba!!




AlZainah walked to her car and drove off to Sara's house.


.

.

.


"Shway shway mama smila 3alaik!"



Faisal: yuma tara wala lal7en agdar amshe tikfain!!



Faisal's mother took a couple of steps away from him.



Faisal: bag3ad bil 7adeeqa shway



His mother walked behind him.



Faisal: yumaa... bag3ad bro7i 



Faisal's mother took a deep breath: okay 7abebe



.

.


.


AlZainah texted Sara.



Tawni dasha qurtubaa



Sara replied quickly


Nizlay elsirdaab




AlZainah parked her car beside Faisal's car, she realized she forgot to ask him about the results of the blood test and he didn't bother telling her.



She quickly walked inside, AlZainah noticed someone sitting on the bench, his head was resting on his hand.



"Faisal?"



Faisal slowly turned around to face AlZainah, he was so pale, Dark circles under his eyes, dry lips, he didn't look like the Faisal she always knew.



Faisal: hala



AlZainah quickly rushed towards him: Faisal lal7een ta3baan?!



Faisal smiled and nodded: shway



AlZainah: way Faisal!! shgalolik? shno nitayij el ta7aleel?



Faisal looked away: mako bas a7taj atghatha 3adil




AlZainah: haw Faisal! ya inik chathab aw ohma ystahblon!



AlZainah noticed that Faisal was breathing heavily, she knew that he was hiding something.



"La enshallah el laila bndakhla, nan6ir 7alta tistqir o dictora ya36eena el okay winsafir"



AlZainah overheard Faisal's father, Faisal sighed.




AlZainah: Faisal? shilsalfa? Mnu ele bedish el mistashfa? mnu ele besafir? Faisal sh9ayir!?



Faisal sighed: Zayon maku ila el 3afya la t7ateen!!




AlZainah: inta lu bas tjawib as2ilte mara7 a7ate!!!!!! Faisal please gole shilsalfa!!! please!



Faisal: akhir mara shiftich feeha




AlZainah: ee?

AlZainah: okay?



Faisal: Zayoon



AlZainah: Faisal please ta7acha!! a7is galbi ib yougaaf!!




Faisal: smila 3alaich!!



AlZainah: Faisal!! shfeek? shgalolik? sh9ayir?



Faisal: leukemia



AlZainah: na3am?



Faisal: blood cancer



AlZainah kept staring at Faisal, she really wanted him to laugh his silly laugh and tell her that he's kidding, She wanted his tanned skin back, the dark circles around his eyes to be gone, she wanted to see his smile and the sparkle in his eyes.



She slowly stood up, she tried so hard not to cry: fa shra7 y9er?



Faisal: ga3deen yzahbon agrathe



AlZainah: 7ag el mistashfa?



Faisal nodded: o mita ma 3a6one el okay barou7 america



AlZainah felt her tears roll down her face, she quickly wiped them away and sat beside Faisal.



AlZainah: barou7 ma3ak!




Faisal: wain?



AlZainah: america!!



Faisal: ib 9ifatich mnu? 



AlZainah: Faisal tathkir mara-



Faisal: lama naqzt ine abe akha6bch?



AlZainah nodded.

AlZainah wiped away her tears: adre

AlZainah: Faisal please-



Faisal: intay ele please.. Zayon ana lal7en mo mistaw3ib ele ga3id y9er wa7is ine ib 7ilm 



AlZainah sighed.



Faisal: mabe ashofch wala abe tzorene 



AlZainah: Faisal yanait?



Faisal: please?



AlZainah looked away with tears in her eyes, she stood up and walked to her car. She felt like crying her heart and eyes out.



The first person she thought of going to was her father, she drove off to the company.


.

.


.


The elevator door opened, AlZainah rushed to her father's office.


"Yubaaaaa!!"



She rushed to her father, hugged him and cried her eyes out.



"Shfeech smila 3alaich!!"




Hamad quickly stood up, he had no idea what to do or say.



AlZainah's father pushed her away from his arms: zayon baba sh9ayir?



AlZainah: Faisal mareeeth



Father: eee adre ya yuba!! 3a6eeh cham youm ba3ad berid china el bakhat!!





AlZainah: laa baba!!! Faisal mareeth fe cancer!! mara7 y6eeeb!!




Her father sighed.




Hamad felt like he shouldn't be there, specially when Ahmed isn't so he left the room.


.

.

.


Hamad stood outside the office, he was so shocked of the news and AlZainah's tears broke his heart.



"Hmaaaid! laish mu dakhil?" 



Hamad looked to his left and faced Ahmed: Zayon dakhil wiya oboha



Ahmed: ok?



Hamad: Faisal fe cancer





Ahmed: Faisal? ay Faisal?



Hamad: Faisal AlFlani



Ahmed: waaaih!! allah yshafeeh



Hamad: ameen



The office's door slowly opened and AlZainah walked out with slow steps.



"Baba zayon digay 3ala Basha iye yakhthich! la tsogeen wintay eb hal 7ala"




Hamad looked at Ahmed and whispered "ana bagi6ha winta tifham wiya 3ami.. wil awrag dakhil" 




Ahmed: yanait?



Hamad left Ahmed standing and walked towards AlZainah.



"Aridch el bait" 



AlZainah looked at Hamad with eyes full of tears and nodded, it broke his heart seeing her like that.



Hamad walked beside her, she suddenly turned around facing him: a7is mafene shada amshe.. abe aga3ad



Hamad: hal maktab mba6al ta3alay



AlZainah sat down, Hamad stood in front of her.



AlZainah: tadre shkithir kan ynaqiz 3alay ina ytzawajne o agdra? a7iba!! bas ma atkhayila y9er rayle!!



AlZainah gasped.



Hamad: Faisal mo raylich?



AlZainah looked at him: na3am?



Hamad looked so shocked: Faisal mo kha6bich min ahalich o na6rich titkharjain 3ashan tamlchon o ta3linon?



AlZainah: la shako! min galik hal 7ache?



Hamad shook his head: ana el ghabe ele 9adagt!!!



AlZainah: Hamad shilsalfa? 




Hamad grabbed a chair and sat in front of AlZainah.




Hamad: ana bagoulch kil elsalfa min awlha lay akhirha!!

_________________________________________________________________



AlZainah parked her car and was about to leave.



"Law sama7taay"




AlZainah smiled: hala okhoy?




Faisal: masfi6i!




AlZainah: way Faisaaal isfi6 elside el thani




Faisal: 6il3aaay



AlZainah: Faisaaal!! please!! 




AlZainah walked to Faisal's car.




AlZainah: chink tha3faan?




Faisal laughed: mla7thaa? nazil taqreban 4 kilos ib isbou3 o shway!




AlZainah: olllllla Faisal china wayed?!




Faisal: la la mu wayed! el nass trou7 nade o takrif 3ashan tith3af wana jismi brou7a yth3af!




AlZainah giggled.

Faisal: laaish?

AlZainah: waay yal 3ayar!!! inzain shda3wa! shoufle a7ad min rab3ik!



Faisal: o ba3dain? ana agoul dawreelch wa7da o khalas! 




Deep down AlZainah knew exactly why Faisal didn't want her to interview a guy, He is jealous..she knew it but acted dumb
.



AlZainah: ana badish ashouf Sara etha tye wiyay





Faisal: wana barou7  asfi6



Sara had a full day planned, she had to study for her midterm and visit her grandparents so she won't be able to help AlZainah.



"Khalas barou7 brou7i!!"



.



.



.




AlZainah stood in front of her mirror and looked at her self one last time, She was wearing a black dress, a beaded necklace and her favorite Gina slippers.




"Yumaaaaa!! ana 6al3aa!!"




"Wain ray7a Baba?"




AlZainah: ohh yuba inta hne! 




Father: ee 7abebte! ha wain ray7a?




AlZainah: barou7 asawe project 7ag el jam3a!




AlZainah raised her note and pen in her father's face, he smiled: Allah ywafgich baba




AlZainah walked to her car.




etha ligaita tamaam! wetha ma ligaitaa Faisal gha9bin 3alaih bekalmle wa7id min rab3a!!




.



.


.


AlZainah grabbed her mobile and texted her friends.




Tawni wa9la 77!! wish me luck! 





AlZainah walked to the restaurant with hesitance; slow steps, she was afraid that Hamad would reject or embarrass her.  





AlZainah entered the restaurant, it was a bit crowded, She saw Hamad standing beside a table that was full of girls.



"Hello miss may I help you?"




AlZainah smiled: Hi no thanks! I'm here for Hamad




The waiter smiled and nodded: okay I'll call him




AlZainah grabbed a chair and sat down, She looked to her side and saw two guys that are with her in uni.



waaaay ma a9adif a7ad ila wana 6al3a brou7i chine khibla!!




"AlZainah?"




AlZainah stood up: Hi Hamad!!




Hamad: halaa




Hamad stood staring at AlZainah with a blank face.




AlZainah: umm Hamad tathkir el project ele 3a6ana yah eldictor Rashed?




Hamad: ee?




AlZainah: faj2a elyoum gale ina its due el khames!!




Hamad: okay?




AlZainah: o ma a3arif a7ad ghairik ygdar ysa3idne!




Hamad looked around the restaurant.




AlZainah: etha mu fathe 3adi!! ana adig 3ala Faisal akhale ydawrle a7ad min rab3a




Hamad gave AlZainah a cold stare: Laaaa fathe!! bas imshay ng3ad dakhil




AlZainah: okay!




AlZainah walked behind Hamad, They walked into an office, She noticed that he had a wall that was full of photos, she looked at each photo with a smile on her face, her smile faded away when she realized that he had no photos of his childhood. Its like he deleted that part of his life from everywhere.




She turned around and saw a photo frame on his desk that was flipped down.




Hamad: nibda?



AlZainah pointed at a photo: takharajt min? 



Hamad: Miami.. university of Miami



AlZainah sat down facing Hamad, She really felt awkward.




Hamad: khal ayeblina shay nshriba 3ala ma tratbeen omorch




AlZainah nodded: okay mashkour




AlZainah wanted to see the photo that Hamad flipped down but what if he saw her?




iff base ligafa mani mit7arka, ymkin 9ouraat kha6eebta!!




Hamad came back with two bottles of water.




Hamad: room temperature 9a7?




AlZainah nodded: 9a7




Hamad: el3a9eer yay 




AlZainah smiled.




AlZainah: nibda?




Hamad: yalla




AlZainah: talk to me about yourself and your restaurant?




Hamad: umm I'm 27 years old o giltlich min wain takharajt! 





AlZainah: your major?



Hamad: I double majored, finance o marketing




AlZainah: why a restaurant? 




"Omi t7ib ti6bakh"  Hamad smiled.




Hamad: fa gilt why not? mita ma yat o ishtahat ti6bakh y9er the dish a specialty for the day




AlZainah smiled, That was super cute.




AlZainah: your biggest supporters?




Hamad: my family





AlZainah: are you married?



Hamad: engaged



AlZainah: do you love her?




Hamad: too personal o ma athin hal ma3louma t'him el dictor Rashed




AlZainah: do you forgive easily?



Hamad: la o I don't give second chances




AlZainah: what do you regret?



Hamad: nothing




AlZainah: favorite childhood memory?



Hamad: I have nothing in mind 




AlZainah: your best friend?



Hamad: I don't have one 





Hamad knew that AlZainah was asking him the questions that she wanted answers for, not questions that were assigned for her.



AlZainah: why 77?




Hamad took a couple of minutes: its a personal question




AlZainah: personal?




Hamad: ee 




AlZainah: gole yah! mara7 aktiba!




Hamad: next question?




AlZainah: al7een ina etha you're engaged wala married isn't personal o hatha personal?




Hamad: next question? 





AlZainah sighed and kept asking Hamad random questions about his business until her mobile vibrated, it was the group, a text from Sara.



Faisal 6a7 3alaina! 7ararta almost 44! wi7na bil mistashfa al7een shakla benam 3indhom el laila!




AlZainah sighed.




Hamad noticed that something was wrong but didn't bother to ask what was it.





AlZainah: khalas atwaqa3 khalasna! 




Hamad nodded: okay



AlZainah: Hamad



Hamad: hala?



AlZainah: tadre ina kil el banat ysamonik scar?




Hamad: scar?




AlZainah nodded: awal shay 3abali bas rab3e! athare kil el banat ynadonik scar!





Hamad: 3ashan hathe?





Hamad pointed at the scar on his face. 





AlZainah nodded: ele shlon 6la3atlik? Oh wait shno el salfa ele alaft'ha 7ag Jen?





Hamad looked away.





AlZainah smiled to herself: tadre lal7en ma3arf asoug gare?





Hamad looked at AlZainah with a shocked face: lal7en?!





AlZainah giggled: ee!!





Hamad: tara mu nase shlon ta3awart





AlZainah: adre





Hamad: bas ma widi atim athkir please fihmene 





AlZainah: ga3da a7awil afhimik Hamad bas mani gadra! wayed taghayart!




Hamad: ma taghayart! bas Hamad ele kintay t3arfeena kan 3umra 12 sina! wana al7een 3umri 27 sina 





AlZainah: adre! Bas Hamad ele a3arfa kan 7anoun! kan ydafi3 3ani wetanajar ma3a el kil 3ashani! wana 7adi di3la o ma7ad ygarib 9oube!





Hamad sighed.



AlZainah: tathkir wayh khalti lama shaftik?




Hamad smiled.





AlZainah laughed: lama 3abalaha 7a6een ketchup 3ala wayhik?





Hamad laughed: ee 9a7!!! 





AlZainah was quiet for a couple of seconds, it was the first time that she heard his laugh.





AlZainah: ba3ad inta madre sh7ashik!! Ma bichait kilish!! 





Both of them were quiet, Hamad kept staring at AlZainah until she looked away.





Hamad's face suddenly turned serious and the smile faded: elmohim ma 3alaina! khalasna?





AlZainah: ee! 





Hamad stood up and walked out of his office, AlZainah walked behind him, He silently walked her to her car.





AlZainah: mashkour Hamad!





Hamad nodded: 7ayaachh





AlZainah called Sara directly after driving off.





AlZainah: halaa!! sh9ayir? chathabaa! faj2aa? waaih maskeen! Eee ee shifta el yoom agoula tha3fan yth7ak! Salamta ma yshouf shar!





AlZainah had so much on her mind, Her project, Hamad and Faisal.




She was worried about Faisal and Hamad really confused her, what was so personal about his restaurant's name? What was the picture in the frame he flipped down? Why isn't he giving himself a chance to just talk and be himself around AlZainah.

"Siktaay siktaay mo fahma shtgoleen khalsay aklich" 



Hessa gave AlZainah a death stare.

The girls laughed.



AlZainah grabbed her purse that was near Faisal and sat close to him.



AlZainah: shlon eldawam?



Faisal: zaaain, wain kintay?



AlZainah: bil jam3aa!



Faisal: china wayed 3ala jam3a

AlZainah: maleeeq!!!!



AlZainah looked to her left and found Hessa and Latifa giggling and whispering. 




Faisal: ana ba93ad foug atghada! o 5 ya tfathon el bait aw ma asma3 likom 7is!!




Faisal walked to the elevator, once the elevator door was closed Latifa and Hessa rushed to AlZainah.



Hessa: WAAY CUTE!!!



AlZainah: shno?



Latifa: yghaar 3alaich yal ghabiya!!!




AlZainah: shako shako? ila da3ala o 7acharaa!!



Hessa giggled.

Sara: imshaw mustard o 3an el msasaar ele mala ma3na!! 



AlZainah: ay mustard?!!! classy ba3ad shway! 



Sara: nakhtha to go wingi6ch el jam3a! 



The girls picked up their lunch and were on the way back to uni to drop AlZainah.



AlZainah: ni6rouni bas bakalim el dictor warid! 



Hessa: yal kalba m3anyatna o makhtheeen to go 3ashan tkalmeen el dictor?



AlZainah: 9arlina isbou3ain mdawmeen o 3a6ana project! o ghibt fa madre 3an shno o ma 3indi group!!



AlZainah got out of the car while the girls were complaining, She walked to the elevator and up to her professor's office.



She was practicing what to tell him all the way to his office.  



His office's door was closed, he was inside and a guy was sitting in front of him, giving his back to the door.


AlZainah knocked softly on the door, Her professor smiled and opened the door.



Prof: Hi



AlZainah: Hi dictor!!



Prof: Hala, come in




AlZainah took a couple of steps inside the office, She wanted to know who is the guy that is sitting on the chair. 



Prof: you may sit



AlZainah: thank you I'm good!! Umm sir I'm here to ask you about the project!!



Prof: what about it?



AlZainah: what is it about?



The professor laughed: ola! ma tadren what is it about?



AlZainah: heh umm la



Prof: yartheeek ya Hamad?




AlZainah froze in her place, she had no idea who is Hamad but she hoped he wasn't the Hamad she had in mind.



AlZainah looked to her left and found Hamad sitting on the chair, her heart skipped a beat.



Prof: Hamad AlFlani a3tiqid inkom t3arfoun ba3ath



AlZainah: la ma n3arif ba3ath



The professor was kind off shocked and Hamad's face showed no expression. 




Prof: el project group work 



AlZainah: okay?



Prof: you have to choose a popular business, ay nou3 ma tafrig, A restaurant a shop anything!



AlZainah: okay?



Prof: the only condition ohwa ina lazm el owner aw el co-founder ykon Kuwaiti, someone young



AlZainah nodded.



Prof: mabe a7ad akbar min 33!



AlZainah giggled: okay?



Prof: you have to interview him or her, how did their business succeed, how did they get the idea? what inspires them? who supported them? o 3ad be creative with the questions!



AlZainah: may I work on it alone?



The professor looked at her then at Hamad.



Prof: ok khalas you may



AlZainah smiled: thank you!! 




AlZainah walked out of the office and started walking to the door.



She grabbed her mobile and called Sara: aloo? ha wainkom? ta3alaw 3ind elbab! TISTA3B6AIN? wana sheridne el bait al7een? Mako sayiq!!! ejazta el youm! ridole yalla!! la mani na6ra wala dgeeega!! 



AlZainah saw Hamad walk to the parking, he was behind her so she guessed that he heard the conversation.



She saw him get in his car and drive off.



AlZainah: yallaaaa!! wain 9irtaw? badig 3ala Faisal tara!!!



She turned around and saw Hamad drive back to her direction, AlZainah quickly gave him her back and continued talking to Sara.



"Feech shay?"



AlZainah turned around and found Hamad staring at her.



AlZainah: laaa!!



Hamad: wain sayartich?



AlZainah: ib baitna!
