.

.

.

"Ifff goumaaay"

Zaina left Sara 10 missed calls.

"Anzil? Bait'hom ma yagflon el bab! Bas fashla!!"

Zaina parked her car and walked to Sara's front door.

She opened the door slowly: dayman bab'hom mba6al, bogat'hom ib baiza!

Zaina tip toed her way to Sara's room, she slowly opened the door.

"Saraaa!!"

Zaina: SARAAA!!

Sara: bismillaaah!!!! Shtabeeen?

Zaina laughed: 9aba7 el khaair!

Sara: SHTABEEEN?

Zaina: Starbucks?

Sara: zayoun shfech?

Sara knew that there was something wrong, She knew that Zaina didn’t stop by at 9AM on a weekend just to go grab coffee.

Zaina always depends on Sara, Sara always spends hours just listening to Zaina complain about the silliest things ever.

Zaina: tathkren kint agoulch 3an Hamad?

.

.

.

Sara and Zaina walked to the restaurant.

Sara: hello!!!

Waiter: good morning

Zaina looked around: shiftay? Mo mawjod!

Zaina grabbed a chair and sat down while Sara was ordering.

Sara: to go please don’t forget!!

Zaina looked at Sara and stuck her tongue out.

Sara laughed: yaahil

Zaina looked to her left and found Hamad standing, She felt weird, her body felt numb.

Sara: kil hatha 3ashan shifteeh? Shda3wa wayhch chithi in9ifaag!!

Zaina took a deep breath: t'hagain yathkrne?

Sara: madre!! Jarbay kalmeeh

Zaina shook her head: la la la!!!

"Did you serve the ladies?"

Waiter: yes sir

Sara smiled at Hamad while Zaina look to the other side.

Sara: heh ee

Zaina giggled and looked away.

Sara whispered: elsharha 3alay basa3dich! Plus maleeq ya kirhaa! barou7 elsayara

Zaina: la la Sara ni6raaay!!

Sara left Zaina standing alone in the restaurant.

Zaina sat down and kept staring at her shoes.

"Madame your order is ready"

Zaina smiled and walked to the counter: how much?

Zaina took out her credit card.

"oh madame sorry knet machine is not working yet"

Zaina: waaih!! Ok I'll go bring cash! Do you know where is the closest ATM?

"Sir?"

Zaina: la la its okay!

"Yes"

Zaina took a deep breath, why does the waiter keeps on calling him.

Hamad walked towards them, he stood so close to Zaina she could smell his perfume.

"Where is the nearest ATM for madame"

Hamad: khalas no need it's on the house

Hamad looked at Zaina with a straight face: bil 3afya

Zaina: la la please!! ams 3ashana kan on the house etha tathkir!

Hamad: 3alaikom bil 3afya

Zaina had  no idea if Hamad remembered her, why does he smile when she in a group but keeps a straight face when they're alone?

Zaina: allah y3afeek

Zaina grabbed the food and walked to the car.

Zaina: Sara 3indch cash?

Sara: ee!!

Zaina: takhaylay ma 3indhom knet chan ygole hamad its on the house

Sara: ZOQAAA!!

Zaina grabbed the money from Sara's hand and walked back to the restaurant.

She gave the waiter the 20KD and walked towards Hamad, She wanted to ask him if he remembers her.

"7abebe?"

Zaina froze in her place and changed her direction back to the waiter. She saw a pretty lady walking towards Hamad with her baby blue dress long hair and heels.

Zaina looked at her converse, jeans and shirt.

Olla elfarg baini o bainhaa

The lady whispered something in Hamad's ear and they laughed.

Akeed murta

Zaina grabbed the change and walked to the car.

"What is the most delicious dish you have?"

The waiter smiled: all dishes are delicious madame

"Waaaaayy 6ilbay ayshay!! Mayteen youu3!"

"Osh! La tfashleena shofaw kaho el owner wagif hnak bas la titlafton!"

All girls turned around to see the owner.

"wow smila 3alaikom tism3oun el kalam"

The girls laughed and the waiter stood there staring blankly at them: I call him? Sir!

The owner stood a couple of tables away from them, he was talking to another waiter, wearing dark jeans, a white shirt and grey converse.

The girls didn’t even have the time to tell the waiter not to call him, Al Zainah saw him

 walking towards them.

"Abaih yayna!!! La tistahblon 3iglaw!!!"

"Tifathilaw"

"Umm Hi"

AlZainah wanted to kill her friends and the waiter.

"Amraw"

"Madre shno s2alat el waiter o ma 3araf yjawibha" Hessa pointed at AlZainah.

The owner was looking at Zaina while she was trying to come up with the right words.

AlZainah: sa2alta 3an the best dishes 3indkom!

AlZainah raised her head towards the owner, the first thing that she noticed about him was 

the scar he had on his cheek.

"Bema ina hal isbou3 opening week shraykom akhtarlkom el dishes 3ala thouqi?"

"Eee chan zain!"

The owner smiled politely at the girls and walked away.

"ABAIH LONAA IYAANIN!!!"

Hessa was Zaina's craziest friend, she was so full of life and fun to have around, you can't stop laughing when you're around Hessa.

"La la la intay khalay lona 3ala side shiftaw sh6oulaaa?"

Sara was the kind of friend that you know you'll always depend on, she so sweet and sensitive, a bit obsessed with tall guys. 

""Tista3b6oun? Wil scar shtgoulon 3anha?

Latifa was the kind of friend that knows everything about everyone and no one figured out how she does that, she's a professional stalker.

Al Zainah was too busy thinking: a3arif wayha!! Shayfita min gabil!!

Latifa laughed: kila min instagram! Kila n7is ina n3arif elnass we7na bas shayfeenhom ib instgram!

The girls laughed.

The dishes started filling the table, most dishes were so delicious.

.

.

AlZainah: ta2akhar elwagt yalla?

Hessa: EXCUSE ME!!!

AlZainah: Hessa heey!! 9outich!!

The waiter walked to them: yes?

Hessa: check please! knet!

AlZainah noticed that the owner whispered something in the waiter's ear and the waiter came back to the table.

Waiter: the bill is on the house

The girls were shocked: no!!

AlZainah: no! please bring it!

Waiter: sir says it’s the opening week and it's on us madame!

Hessa: NOO!!

The girls turned staring at Hessa: shfech?!

Hessa: she's not a madame!! She's single!!

They laughed, Hessa's comments were so random and funny.

Hessa: Zaino!! Gomay saway 3umrch kilish o ila nidfa3 el check! Kalmeeeh!!

Sara: ee zayoun goumay!!!

AlZainah: yanitaw intaw?!

Latifa: la7tha la7tha!! Zaino! Mo giltay omch o oboch kanaw ma3zoumen bil iftita7?

AlZainah nodded.

Latifa: bas 3ayal y3arfich!

Hessa: FBIII!!! la6ouf thakiyaaa!!!

AlZainah turned her head at the place where he was standing earlier, she wanted to thank him but he despaired.

AlZainah: ikhtifa

Sara: bas ya jima3a a7ad 7a9ila free good food wegoul la? Imshaw!

The girls grabbed their purses and walked to Zaina's car.

AlZainah couldn’t stop thinking about the owner of the restaurant.

Latifa: nsameeh the cute guy with the scar?

Hessa: la 6weel akhaf ansah

Sara: Scar!! Scar o sara! S o S! bas tharouuri intizawaj!!!!

The girls laughed.

AlZainah: wain agi6kom? el nuzha wala routha?

Sara: yal maleeeqa wa9laay kil wa7da bait'ha!

AlZainah: way bas ta3abt ikhtaraw bait!

AlZainah wanted  to go home as soon as possible to ask her mother about the owner of the restaurant, she knew his face too well but couldn’t remember anything about him.

.

.

.

.

AlZainah parked her car and walked inside.

"Mama?"

Mother: bil ma6bakhh

AlZainaah: mamaaa!!!

Mother: shfech?

AlZainah: 77 mno el owner mala?

Mother: haw shno 77?

AlZainah: el ma63aam elyded!! Ele in3azamtaw 3ala el iftitaa7 mala

Zaina's mother was silent for a couple of minutes.

AlZainah: mama?

Mother: ma atwaqa3 ra7 t3arfena

Zaina's mother grabbed her green tea and walked to the elevator.

AlZainah: Yuma!? Shfech?

Mother: mafene shay!

AlZainah: laish i3tifastay lama sa2altich?

Mother: ma i3tifast! Bas fakart shlon ajawibch

AlZainah: okay? Bas hatha eljawab?

Zaina's mother nodded.

AlZainah felt that there was something weird going on, both entered the elevator quietly.

"Mahaa? China zayouna ta2akhirat?"

AlZainah smiled: kani baba!

Zaina walked to her father gave him a side hug and sat beside him.

AlZainah: yuba bas2ilik

Father: si2lay

AlZainah: el ma63am ele ri7taw iftita7a gabil cham youm

Father: shfeh?

AlZainah: mnu el owner?

Father: ma 3arafteeh?

Mother: giltlaha ina ma ra7 t3arfa o bas mala da3i t3arfa

Zaina raised her eyebrow at her father, he smiled.

Father: Mahaa yebele fak'ha allah la yheench

Zaina smiled.

Father: khal agoulch bsr3a gabil la tye omch

Zaina giggled: ee goul!

Her father smiled: tathkren sultan?

Zaina was quiet for a couple of minutes: sayiqna gabil?

Her father nodded.

Zaina: okay?

Father: ele shifteeh el yoom wilda

Zaina: Hamad?!

Her father nodded.

Zaina was too shocked to reply, She couldn’t believe that the guy that she saw today was her childhood friend, He was the kid that protected her from everyone, the friend that she cried missing for weeks when he disappeared out of her life.

Lama sighed while putting her hair in a messy bun.

"what is this?"

 "bed"

"9aaaaa7!!!"

"Yalla now go!"

"NO NO NO NOOH"

"Baraaaaaaaak!!"

Barak: shfeekoum?

Lama: ta3abt!

Barak laughed: Noora!!! baba! Yalla!

Nora: MAMA NAUGHTY!

Barak tried to hide his smile: La! 3aib!

Lama looked at Barak while he carried baby Noora and put her in bed. She looked at 

her daughter's brown curls, big eyes and tiny hands wrapped around her father's 

neck.

She couldn't ask for anything more, She's living in the house where she grew up, her husband and daughter are healthy and happy and that was more than enough.

There was a bit of changes that was done in the house, but mama Nora's room stayed the same, it still smells like her.. In rough days Lama walks to Mama Nora's room and stays there for hours.

"tfakren fene?"

Lama giggled: sh'hal thiqa?

Barak: eb ma7alha! Etha ma ra7 tfakren fene btfakren ib mno?

Lama shrugged her shoulders: shakh9 thani

Barak gave her a straight face: masma3?

Lama whispered: ga3da afakir ib shakh9 thani

Barak: MA ASMA3?

Lama: ohhh khalas khalas ga3da afakir feek!!

Barak: ee 3abali

Lama imitated Barak "eeh 3abaali"

Barak tried to hide his laugh he rushed towards Lama and started tickling her.

Lama couldn't breathe from laughing.

"Mamaaaaaa"

Lama: baaaas baraaak hidne!!!

"Mamaaaaaaaaaah"

Lama tried to escape from Barak's hands that were wrapped around her.

"MAMAAAAA"

Barak finally let Lama go, she rushed to their daughter: hala mama?

Lama found Baby Nora sitting on the floor: abaih Barak!! Sh6al3aha min frash'ha?

Barak laughed: Nora? Baba!! Shlon nigaztay min frashich?

Nora couldn't be happier, she was giggling and clapping, Barak put her back in her bed.

Barak: imshay

Lama: mani mit7arka! Ba3arf shlon ti6la3 min frash'ha! Wayed 3ali 3alaiha!

Lama and Barak sat on the floor in front of Nora's bed, they could see her big eyes staring at them waiting for them to leave.

Lama: 7abebe? Nora namat 9a7?

Barak: eee namat!

They heard her giggle and cover her face with her teddy bear, Lama and Barak stayed in the same place for half an hour, Lama closed her eyes and put her head on Barak's shoulder.

Barak: 7abebete la tnameen

Lama: hmmm

Barak laughed: gilna la tnameen

Lama: osh

Barak: bas gomay khal nrou7 inaam

Lama: wetha Nora 6la3at min frash'ha?

Barak: ma ra7 ti6la3 goumay!

Lama through herself on Barak while they're walking to their room.

Barak: maaa amshe 3adil ya3ni?

Lama: kaifik 3ad

Lama and Barak got ready for bed, Lama covered herself with the blanket.

Barak: shiftay? Gitlich etha khalainaha btnam!

Barak closed the lights and got in bed, he wrapped his arms around Lama and closed his eyes.

"Mama?"

Lama: barak sima3t ele sima3ta?

Barak: khasawe nafsna ma sima3na tikfaain

"MAMAAAA!!! BABAAAAA!!!"

Lama opened the lamp and saw Lama standing with a wide smile.

Barak laughed: el ibtsamaaaa shireeeeraaaaa!!

Lama: la tith7aak Barak! Khal t7is inha sawat shay ghala6!

Barak: ta3alaaay 7abeebtaaat Baba!!

Lama: ma9adig!! Baraaak!!! La t3awidha!

Barak carried Nora and put her in bed between them, Lama looked at her husband, 

They went through a lot but they stayed strong for each other.

Fay married a 90 year old man, he died and she inherited a big share of his money, 

she eventually got what she wanted which is money and nothing else.

Lama and Barak filled each other's empty spaces, they found the love and felt safe having each other.
