Ali couldn’t take what he saw out of his mind, were they shopping for their own baby? Were they expecting a baby or was the baby already born?

He shook his head, why does he even care?  It shouldn’t bother him, he took a deep breath and put his head on the steering wheel.

.

Reem gasped: MIN 9IJA?

Reem: rad 3alay

Asma: shgal?

Asma: Ah Reem-

Reem grabbed Asma's mobile from her hand

Asma: HEEY!!

Reem searched Ali, she found his name and clicked on the green button.

6oo6 6oooo6 6ooo6

Reem waited patiently

"Hala Asma"

Reem's heart beat raised when she heard his voice, She opened her mouth but no words came out.

"Asom?"

Reem: ana…

Ali sighed: entay Reem?

Reem: ee

Ali: na3am? Amray?

Reem: Ali ana.. ana

Reem: OK ALI SAW ELE TABE!

Reem clicked on the red button.

After a few minutes Reem's mobile vibrated.

Ana insad ib wayhe? MIN 9IJCH INTAY?!!

Reem giggled she didn’t even know if Ali was really mad or was he kidding.

Eee Ali insad ib wayhik. Did it hurt ur ego?

Ali smiled, she is unbelievable.

Yes it did.

Reem smiled.

A7san.

Ali laughed at Faisal.

Faisal: aha

Ali: F9aail min 9iji!!

Faisal: ok ok wana ba3ad min 9iji

.

.

Reem laid down on bed she had no idea if Ali was really mad at her, She didn’t mean to stick her nose she just counted him as a friend and she wanted to be there for him she just wished Ali would understand that.

.

.

.

Ali changed from a channel to the other, he checked his timeline and didn’t find any tweet from Reem, he searched her name and went through her profile.. The last tweet she tweeted was 6 hours ago.

Ali sighed and laid down on the couch.

He knew that Reem was different but he wasn’t sure about his feelings towards her.

Yimkin ana mit3alig feeha o bas!! Farg bain lama enta3alag ib shakh9 o ina in7iba! Imbala kalame 3adil! Ok dam inha uff dam inha ohh ya3ni dam ine ma a7ibha

Ali sighed he couldn’t even think straight.

Ali: khal agom anam abrak!

Faisal: MAZAAAAJIK

Ali: shfeeeh?

Faisal: kil hatha ta2theer Reem?

Ali: F9ail shfek? Jawabtik  gitlik Reem malha ta2theer 3alay!

Faisal: Ok

Ali walked to his room, threw himself on bed and looked at his mobile, He got used to sending Reem a goodnight DM

Goodnight

Ali was about to send it when he decided to delete what he wrote.

Today was a long day. #Goodnight

He  tweeted, put his mobile on silent and closed his eyes.

.

.

Reem was about to send Ali a DM when she saw his goodnight tweet.

Kitab tweet bas ma 6arash DM, ufff shakla 9ij za3al 3alay o bas ma ra7 ykalmne.

Reem closed her eyes and slept with a heavy heart for the first time in a long time.

_____________________________________________________________________________________________

Reem walked to her class while reading her notes for the last time, everyone says that last minutes review wouldn’t make a difference but to Reem it does!!

She felt her mobile vibrate in her purse.

Maraitay 9oobe bas kentay lahya eb ur notes :p good luck :D

Reem smiled and looked around.

Ma ashoofik?

Ali smiled.

Mu wagte al7en roo7ay emt7anch!

Reem looked around again.

Imbala wagtik! wainik?!!

Ali smiled mako fayda 3aneeda!

Reem's eyes kept looking for Ali.

ib nil3aab? Wagta? :p

Ali laughed, he bend to the left a little bit, Reem saw him, he had a huge smile on his face she automatically smiled back.

Good luck Reem :D

Reem sat at the end of the hallway and held her notebook in her hand.

Will Ali be something more than her friend? That was a thought but Reem kept shoving it to the back of her head, she didn’t want to think of the fact that she'd actually fall for him.

He was so different, he went through a lot and that really changed his character, it changed the way Ali treated people and no one could blame him.

"Reem yalla el dictor yah!"

Reem closed her notes and walked to her class.

.

.

.

"O KHAIR YA 6AYIR? IYE EL KUWAIT O MA IYE YSALIM 3ALA OBOH? ANA EL WALAD WALA OHWA? YABENE OHWA IYENE! O LA YI3TITHIRLE BA3AD!"

Ali's mother sighed and shook her head.

.

.

.

Reem's eyes widened MA9ADG!! FA MARA WA7DA?!! AHHHH!!

Reem stormed to her professor's office.

Shlon emt7anch?

.

.

Reem sat on the chairs in the second floor, she was completely shocked and mad at herself for receiving an FA.

She closed her eyes and put her head between her hands.

"Reem?"

She raised her head and saw Ali.

Reem: ALIIIIIIII

Ali: shfeeech?

Reem: iff ifff

Ali sat on the chair beside Reem.

Ali: sh9ayir?

Reem: khathait FA!!

Ali giggled.

Reem's eyes widened: shetha7ik?!

Ali: khara3tene 3abali 9ayir shay!

Reem: la wala? Al7een el FA mo shay?

Ali shook his head: 3adi

Reem smiled: ya salam?

Ali: 3eeday el mada wel omor bil saleem enshallah

Reem: ifff 3ala biroodik!!

Ali: 3ala 6are el broud classy badi min 3ashir digayig

Reem giggled: gooom bas goom

Reem smiled and nodded: shukran Ali

Ali smiled: 3afwan Reem

.

.

.

"YUBBAAAA MIN 9IJIK?!"

"EE EE MIN 9IJE YALLA 9I3DAY DARACH"

Reem laughed: ifff yuba zoqa winta m3a9ib!!

Reem's father laughed: wentay ma tkhaleen el wa7id ytim m3a9b 3alaich?

Reem smiled: La!!

Reem's eyes winded: ay Ali?

Mother: shfech? Wild khalat Asoma ma ghaira!

Reem: yumaa mit2akda?!!!

Mother: ee! Ali wild Hessa!! Kha6ab Zaina!!

Reem grabbed her mobile and sent Ali a DM.

.

.

.

Ali was driving when he noticed the twitter notification, he smiled he knew that it was a dm from Reem.

Inta Ali wild Hessa?

Ali laughed so hard, he knew that she heard about his cousin's engagement but he wanted to goof around.

Laish?

Reem ifff laish ma yjawib el so2al 3ala 6ool?!

Bas chithi, answer my question.

Ali smiled.

Mane mjawib el so2al ila lama tgolele laish?!

Reem maleeeq!!

La2ana wa7id isma Ali cousin Asom o oma Hessa tawa kha6ib!

Ali didn’t reply directly, he parked his car and got out of it.

O so what? Etha ana?

Reem's eyes winded.

Shno ya3ni so what? Is it you??!

Ali smiled, he was really enjoying the conversation.

Does it matter?

Reem sighed.

Yes it does!

Ali's smile grew wider.

Why does it matter?

Reem went quiet for a few minutes, 9a7 kalama why does it matter?

She had no answer for the question, he kind of surprised her with it.

Tadre shlon? It doesn’t matter

Ali was kind of disappointed with Reem's reply.

Ok

Ali walain nafisat!!

Reem iff al7en 3abala ine nafast!!

It's not me, it's my cousin.

Reem smiled, a part of her relieved.

Ok :D Wainik?

Ali bas ok?

Reem giggled.

Ali smiled.

Reem giggled.

Ali smiled he knew that she was joking.

Bayan :p

Reem grabbed her car keys and walked out: yumaaa ana shway o rada!!

Misafat el6reej wana 3indik :p

Ali smiled.

LOOL na6rich :p

.

.

Ali stood in his place with a blank face, he had no idea what to buy.

BOOOOOOOH!

Ali quickly turned around and found Reem in front of him, He kept staring at her Ali really thought that she was kidding!!

Ali: intay shitsawen hne?

Reem laughed: mu tabene asa3dik?

Ali: ee?

Reem: kane yeet!!

Ali giggled, Reem was unbelievable!!

They looked for a proper gift, they finally choose it.

Ali went to pay while Reem was talking to him and looking though the store.

Reem: tara 7ada shakhbari yshtron hadaya min mothercare!! Aku wayed ma7alat a7la!

Ali giggled: min 9ijch? Mothercare o ykhib 3alay!!

Reem giggled.

Reem: takhayal 3gub ma ri7t classic el youm radait 7ag eldictor o... waaaay shof hal badla cute!! Ali?! ALIII!

Ali suddenly went quiet, Reem thought that maybe he walked a bit far and couldn’t hear her.

She saw him standing and walked to him with the cute outfit, Reem noticed that he wasn’t moving, he just stood in his place.

Reem: Ali?

She stood beside him, he was frozen in his place and he was staring forward.

Reem looked at were Ali was looking and saw a couple, they were waiting for their turn to pay.

Reem: Ali shfek?

Ali's was breathing heavily, he kept staring at the couple.

Reem started freaking out, she hesitantly put her hand on Ali's shoulder: Ali..

He looked at her and looked back at the couple, Ali put the outfit on the first hanger he found and walked away.

And then it hit Reem! The couple may be Majed and Heba?! Can that be possible?

Reem stood in front of Ali: ALI!

Ali: Reem bas khal namshe!!

Reem: ele ga3den y7asbon Majed o Heba?

Ali closed his eyes and took a deep breath.

Reem: Ali jawibne!!

Ali: EE REEM EE!! ELE GA3DEN Y7ASBON OHMA MAJED O HEBA!

Reem looked straight in Ali's eyes, she grabbed the outfit: imsh in7asib!

Ali: mi7na m7asbeen! Ib namshe al7een!!

Reem: BAS ALLI?!-

Ali: wakhray 3an 6reje

Reem: Ali please

Ali shook his head and sighed.

Reem was about to put her hand on Ali's shoulder when he took a few steps back.

Ali: Reem..

Reem saw that they were walked towards her and Ali.

Reem: 6la3aw!! 6la3aw min elbab el thani

Ali looked at Reem, Reem smiled.

Ali turned around and found Heba and Majed right in front of him, he froze in his place.

Reem grabbed a random outfit: Ali shoof hal badla mu a7la min ele ikhtrnaha?!

Ali looked at Reem, but Reem looked at Heba and Majed.

"Ali? Baaaih int min wain 6ala3t?"

Ali looked at Majed and Heba with a disgusted face, Heba gave Reem a cold stare.

"Mar7aba ana Reem Msa3ad AlFlani"

She stretched her hand to shake Heba's hand, She noticed that Majed's eyes winded when she mentioned her father's name and she did that on purpose, she knew that Majed knows that her father is one of the  most successful men in business.

"Mabrook..ma sima3na ib khabar zawajik"

Ali looked at Reem: yalla?

Reem gave him a warm smile: yalla

Ali paid and walked to his car without saying a word to Reem, he would ignore everything she'd say.

She continued walked behind him until his car.

Reem: WAAY ALI SHFEEK 7AGRNE?

Ali turned around and looked at Reem: LA WALA? INTAY SHRAYCH LAISH BA7AGRICH?

Reem: Ali ana ma sawait shay ghala6!! Ohma ele ghli6aw 3alaik!!! Ohma ele elmafrtoh yist7on y7i6on 3ainhoum ib 3ainik mu inta!!

Ali: REEEM

Ali took a step closer to Reem.

Ali: GILTELE INHOUM MISHAW WANA WATHIQ FECH FA 9ADAGT!! MO MIN 7AGICH REEM! MO MIN 7AGICH TAKHTHEN 3ANI HAL QARAR!

Reem: bas ana kan qa9di ina-

Ali: intay mo min 7agch tsaween ele sawaiteeh.

Ali got in his car, he looked at the side mirror and found Reem standing in the same place, he didn’t want to leave the parking until he knew that she got in her car and drove off, so he waited.

He saw her wipe her tears and walk to her car.

She drove off, he drove off.
