Empty Spaces -16-


Hello!
*I got a request on ask.fm to post what previously happened last post, I'll start doing 
that! Thank you for the suggestion ;D

*I'm thinking of ending the story soon! What do you guys think about that?

Enjoy it!

"Ma tadren? Jad wai3!! Ygolch tdour 3ala ele 3indhom floos o tsawe 3umrha 
elfaqeera el maskena! O ma ghair ya9rfon 3alaiha!"


Lama was disgusted by what she overheard two girls saying.


"Laa shfech!! Kanat wiyana bil madrisa ma tathkrenha? Fay AlFlani"


Lama was too shocked,  were they talking about the same Fay that Barak loved? Or maybe a girl with the same name?


Lama couldn't focus in class, a lot of ideas were going through her head and it felt like the clock isn’t moving.


She grabbed her purse and walked out of the classroom, she was distracting all the way back home, what if the girl they talked about was Fay that Barak loved?

Lama parked her car and walked to the elevator and up to her apartment. 


"7abebete?"

Lama smiled: halaa


Barak: radaitay? China mbachr!


Lama: ee la3at chabdi min el class o 6ala3t!!


Lama sat on the couch in front of Barak.


Barak: waih Lama! Jablaay derastich! Khalasay hal course 3ala khair!


Lama: waay barak ya sheen hal 6ari!


Barak: Lama fech shay?


Lama: la laish?


Barak: madri shfech a7is balich mo wiyach?


Lama went silent for a couple of seconds.


Barak: Lamaa??


Lama: Baraaak el yoom wana bil jam3a sima3t bintain ysolfon-


Barak: eee?


Lama: 3an wa7da isimha Fay


Barak sighed: walaain


Lama: o ina shlon tdour 3ala el riyayeel o-


Barak: LAMA!! KHALA9! MABE ASMA3 EL SALFA 7ATA!! LAY MITA WI7NA MA
 3INDINA GHAIR HAL 6ARI?


Lama: bas ma anlam!


Barak: LA IMBALA TINLAMAIN! Lama kil ma 9irna sh7lona trideen tyeben 6areeha! Mit3amda? Gha9ib tabeen tsaween mishakil?


Lama: la wala!!!

Barak: Lama intay murti!! Wa7ibich! Wala ya6re 3ala bali a7ad ghairich!!


Lama felt the blood rush in her body, it was the first time that Barak tells her that he
 loves her.


Barak sat beside her and held her hands: bas khalas la tfakren feha wala ib ay a7ad ghairna!


Lama smiled: 7athir


Barak: o tara gilt shay el mafrouth triden 3alaih!


Lama giggled: adri


Barak: ridaaay!!


Lama blushed and looked away: mani gayla Barak


Barak: laish ballah?


Lama: bas asti7i


Barak laughed: tis7een min raylich?


Lama: eee


Lama stood up and rushed to the door, ana banzil 3ind Shoug!


Barak: ee ee in7ashay! Ma midane shiftich!


Lama: a7san 3ashan tolaah 3alay!


Barak smiled.


.
.

Lama walked to Shoug's room: Shouuuuuuug

She opened the door Shoug wasn’t there, she walked to the living room.


Lama: Shougoo? Intay hne wana adawrich!


Lama noticed that Shoug's face was pale, She looked at Barak's mother.


Lama: khalti shfeekoum?


Barak's mother: Lama 7abebte ta3alay gi3day bagolch shay


Lama had a quick flashback,  She heard the exact same sentence when her parents died.


Lama: mabe aga3ad! Khalti sh9ayir?


Shoug: Lama gi3day wingoulch!


Lama: SHOUG!! GITLICH MABE AG3AD!!!


Lama's eyes were automatically filled with tears.


Barak: Lama shfech? Sh9ayir?


Lama: madri Barak mu ratheen ygolole!!!


Barak gave Lama a side hug: enshallah mako ila kil khair.. yuma?


Barak's mother sighed: Omch Noura tiwafat


Lama suddenly felt numb, she couldn’t feel her legs.. she felt Barak's arms lift her.


Barak: smila 3alaich!! Lama 9alay 3al nibii!!


They helped her lay down on the couch..Everything was blurry, all voices were so loud, and her body felt so heavy.


She couldn’t imagine losing her grandmother, she was the only family Lama and 3aziz had, how would they go on without her? How is Aziz now? Does he know or not yet?


Lama closed her eyes, she felt the warm tears roll down her cheeks, Lama heard Barak's voice, he is her family now, he's her everything.


"Barak" Lama whispered.


Barak: 3youn Barak!!


Lama looked at him, he wiped her tears away: osh ihday


Lama throw herself in his arms, she hugged him real tight, she didn’t want to let him go, she didn’t want to ever lose him.


"oshh 7abebte bas"

.
.
.
"3atham allah ajrkom.. allah yir7amhaa"

Lama nodded and greeted all woman, she didn’t shed a tear or say a word since she heard the news, her abaya was on her shoulders, she adjusted it every once in a while, she kept staring at the water bottle that was in her hand.


She had no idea what to do or say, the living room was filled with woman that claimed to know her grandmother, but none of them can feel the pain she going through..


"Lama khalaas el3aza.. taben nrid el bait al7een?"


Lama raised her head and saw Shoug, she looked at her with a blank face and shook her head.


"Ok.. mita ma baghaitay triden nadene"


Lama sat in the same place, she didn’t move an inch, she didn’t shed a tear yet, she felt her abaya fall of her shoulders..she didn’t even have the energy to adjust it.. the only thing she kept repeating was "ya raab yaa raab", she know that Alllah knew exactly how she felt and what she needed.


"Lama?"


Lama raised her head and saw Aziz..She rushed towards him and hugged him..she felt her abaya fall of her shoulder..she felt her brother's tears on her shoulder.


"Mama Nouura ra7at ya Lama ra7at!!"



Lama couldn’t help but cry, she held her brother in her weak arms, he couldn’t stop crying and she tried to be strong for him.. she was the only family he had, they lost their parents and Mama Noura was everything to them.

________________________________________________________________



Barak opened his eyes, he looked around and he realized he slept in the living room, he also remembered that Lama went to sleep while his arms were wrapped around 
her, his shirt smelled like her..it was an amazing morning, but it would’ve been a 
perfect one if she was still in his arms.

"Lama?"

Barak walked to Lama's room: Lamaaa?

He found his mobile on the coffee table.

I had to rush to class!! Akhalis at 12 today! Please la tro7 el dawam? PLEASE? please?

Barak smiled.
.
.
.

"Shtbaeeen? Inzain kani al7een ayech ashtrelich starbucks o kamlay classaitch la trideen!"

Shoug left her room and found Barak in the living room.

Shoug: ana ray7a el jam3a 7ag Lama!

Lama was sitting waiting for Shoug when her mobile rang.

Lama rushed to the parking, she saw Barak in his car.

Barak: labsa nafnoof abyath o raf3a sha3arha

Lama smiled, he was talking about her. Barak was so happy to see her, she looked so beautiful without even trying.

Lama opened the passenger seat: na3am okhoy?

Barak laughed: yalla 3ad!

Lama: weeh alarm 7ag classy!

Barak: ya3ni tlomene laish ine ma ashba3 minch?

Lama blushed: bye Baraak!!

Barak slipped money in Lama's purse while she was getting out of the car, he knew she wouldn’t take it.

Barak laughed: rakzaay bil class

Lama closed the door, made a fish face and crossed her eyes.

Barak laughed: 3iz allah mintay mitkharja hal course!

Lama waved and walked to the door, she stood waiting for the elevator.

"Ma tadren? Jad wai3!! Ygolch tdour 3ala ele 3indhom floos o tsawe 3umrha elfaqeera el maskena! O ma ghair ya9rfon 3alaiha!"

Lama was disgusted by what she overheard two girls saying.

"Laa shfech!! Kanat wiyana bil madrisa ma tathkrenha? Fay AlFlani"

Lama was too shocked, they were talking about the same Fay that Barak loved? Or maybe a girl with the same name?


The elevator door opened and she quickly got in.
