Someone we didn't expect.

Someone that we haven't seen for months.

Someone that I couldn't bear seeing.

-

Bandar and Fahad stood up and attacked him with manly hugs. They were so happy, I guess I'd feel that way if my best friend cut off all connections suddenly and disappeared for months. If Bandar knew about what he did to me, Bandar would've kicked him out of our house by now. Laith was still as a rock, he was tense, VERY tense. He had his jaw clenched and gripping his hands into fists. Anger was the only emotion shown in his eyes.

"Waink m5tfy? 9arlena shahrain ma shfnaak!" Bandar exclaimed.

"Eee walla 9adg Bandar faj2a e5tfait. 9ayer shay?" asked Fahad.

"Wsh nswy, 6la3atly mshakl faj2a w knt m'6e6ar eny arou7" 5alid replied. (Had you fooled didn't I =))? you guys thought it was Sa3ad right?)

"Allah yhdak, 5ala9 el7amdila kl shay 9ar a7san" Bandar said.

Laith was angry, I mean really really angry. He was so angry that it would be normal if went up to 5alid and just beat the sh*t out of him. Heat was radiating from his body, that's exactly how angry he was. I held his clenched fists, flattened them, then intertwined my fingers with his. That made him ease up a bit, he looked at me and flashed me his charming smile. And I just blushed.

"Shahad! Mara7 tsalmeen 3alla 5alid?" Bandar asked.

"Haa? .. um ella" I spoke hesitantly walking towards 5alid.

"Welcome back" I smiled.

He hugged me and said, "Thanks babe." I felt Laith's stare burning through the back of my head and my only thought was; I hope I get out of this alive.

I whispered "Jerk" into 5alid's ears, and pinched his arm as I was letting go. That surely left him with a shocked expression on his face, but he quickly recovered. 5alid gave Laith a dry hug and it showed from Laith's facial expressions that he DID NOT want to talk to 5alid. 5alid then sat with Bandar and Fahad and continued playing Fifa with them.


-Whatsapp chat-

Prince-L (Laith): 
Ta3aly lel 7adee8a

Me: 
Laish?

Prince-L:
baklmk, yalla come now!

Me: 
Why would I ;) ?

Prince-L: 
SHAHAD COME OUT NOW!!

Me:
Okay okay .. JEEZ!

Prince-L:
bsr3a I'm waiting.

Me:
I'm comin'

-End of chat-


I headed to the garden and found him sitting on one of the swings. It's our place, ever since the day we became friends we would always meet up here if we wanted to talk privately.

"Hello amigo" I said as I walked over to him and sat on the swing closest to him.

"Shahad maly 5lg"

"Shfeek?" I asked worried

"Shfeeny? wsh feeny? Wsh elly ma feeny ya Shahad! Aby afham kaif t5meen (hug) 5alid b3d kl elly sawah feek?? Kaiif?? Kaif ma t7seen bl gahar elly 7asait feeh? Ma tdreen ena fee wa7ed y5af 3alaik? Ma tdreen enny maby ashouf wala walad ygarrb mnk? Shahooda laish ma t7seen feeny??" he said with a calm voice trying to cover his anger and pain.

"Liath what was I supposed to do? A5iza w amshy? Ent tdry ena Bandar w Fahad ma ya3rfoun 3n el salfa. Etha ma 5amaita (hug) by7soon ena fe shay 9ayer. La t5af I can take care of my self." I replied.

"La walla? Then why am I your protector baby?" he said playfully. YES! Fun Laith is back!

"One, it's because I like having you near me. Two, I am NOT a baby. Three, if I couldn't take care of myself, then how did I pinch 5alid and whispered 'jerk' into his ear?" I spoke sarcastically.

"You pinched him?" he said muffling his laugh.

"Yes and I pinched him too" I replied.

We looked at each other for 2 seconds then cracked up. We both fell to the ground and just laughed for no apparent reason. We were so close to each other, I was almost stuck to him. We quieted down and just stared into each other's eyes, gosh his eyes are so deep it's like I'm looking into his soul. My face was inches away from his, his eyes were looking at my lips then back to my eyes, shifting between them. Laith then cupped my face with one hand and pushed the hair falling on my face with the other. He whispered 'you're beautiful' under his breath. Laith kept coming closer and closer, and I just froze with fear thinking 'This is it! Noo! I'm too young'. He closed his eyes and I closed mine, my heart thumping. The next thing I feel is his lips on my forehead, then he backed away and looked at me. I looked at him with questioning eyes.

"You're too young." was all he said for me to understand. Understand that we were too young for this. Understand that it's a risky thing to do. Understand that we're not ready. Understand that we have strong feelings for each other that are undefined. Understand that if we ever kissed we wouldn't be able to stop.

Laith pulled me closer to him and hugged me, my head on his chest. Listening to his calming heartbeats, while he was playing with my hair humming the tune of "All About Us - He Is We". No night could ever be as amazing as this night.

"SHAHAD?! LAITH?!"

And let the havoc begin ..

I hope we stay like this forever.

Life so far has been great. Laith has been very kind to me, and we've been so close to each other. I tell him everything and so does he. It's been 2 months since the 'Sa3ad' incident and he hasn't come to visit me or Bandar. Bandar and Fahad still don't know what happend or why he wasn't talking to them. 5alid hasn't visited us since Sa3ad kicked him out. Sara and Salma are still my best friends and we've been closer than ever.


I'm now lying on the chair in the duwainya, my head is on the pillow but I still fet uncomfortable. Fahad and Bandar are playing Fifa. Guys and their Fifa ugh.



"Salam" he said as he walked into the room.

"w 3laikm al salam" we replied in unison.

As I was standing up, getting ready to run to him and hug him he said, "5aleek mensad7a ana jayyek"

I did as I was told and lied back down on the chair with my head on the uncomfortable pillow. He came up to me, kissed my forehead and said, "hey" with loving eyes.

"Hi" I replied as I was staring into his deep dark brown eyes.

He removed the pillow from under my head and place my head on his lap. He then started playing with my hair while saying, "So? How's my beautiful princess?"

"She's happy as long as she has her prince next to her" I replied.

"Aha.. and who might that be my lady?" he asked playfully.

"Hmm.. let me think.. He's smart"

"Yes?"

"He's nice"

"Aha"

"He's cute"

"mmm"

"and he's caring. Have you ever met anyone with these characteristics?" I asked with a smile tugging on my lips.

"I think I know someone, but he might be taken. He's mesmerised by this girl" he spoke smiling.

"Yeah?"

"She's adorable"

"And?"

"She's sweet"

"Tell me more"

"She's beautiful, and he's completely taken by her. He feels so lucky that he met such an amazing friend. Have you figured out who might they be?" he asked.

"Tell me." I replied taking in his faces.

"Well the guy's name is Laith and the girl's name is Shahad." he said smiling.

I stood up and attacked him with a tight hug not noticing the single tear dropping from my eyes, I whispered into his ears, "I'm lucky to have a friend like you" And he just hugged me tighter.


"Tbeen ntmsha bl 7adeega?" he asked.

"Eee yalla" I replied.



As soon as we stood up, someone came into the duwaniya saying:

"Shahad"


Someone we didn't expect.

Someone that we haven't seen for months.

Someone that I couldn't bear seeing.

"I'm back with Wajd" 

-

It's been 3 weeks. 3 awful, dreadful weeks since that incident. I'm hurt, sad, angry, and alone. I haven't been myself since that day, I would always snap at people and I would get mad at the slightest of things. I stopped confiding in people, I lost the most dear person to me. I feel lost. Thank god I've had Laith to help me. Yes, you read right, Laith Sara's brother. He picked the broken pieces of my heart, glued them together, and gave it to me. He's been the second closest person to me after Bandar. 5alid never visited us since that day, and Fahad was busy being Fahad. To understand my situation I have to take you back. Back to that horrible day:



-3 weeks ago-


"I'm back with Wajd"

"Wha-aa-t??" I asked shocked, I stopped hugging him immediately.

"I think you heard me, but I'll say it again. I'm back with Wajd" he replied coldly not looking into my eyes.

"Why?" I said with a hint of anger detectible in my voice.

"I love her" he said.

"No you don't, you got over her. She broke your heart." I stated, my voice rising.

"A person can forget another person's faults when they're in love." keeping his cool.

"Yeah when their loved one bought the wrong type of cheese, or when they forgot to text back, but not when they cheat. WAJD FREAKIN' CHEATED ON YOU!!" I burst.

"I know, and I'm willing to get past that" he replied.

"But.. but.. she cheated, you were heartbroken. You wouldn't eat, you wouldn't sleep, it was as if you were a walking corpse. Remember when I used to force you to eat and play with me until you got better? Don't do this to yourself, you won't be able to handle it. Trust me."

"I won't be able to handle it or YOU won't be able to handle it" he asked.

"What are you implying?" I said angrily.

"Maybe you're just jealous, maybe you don't want me to go back to her 'cause you're afraid that I'm going to leave you. Maybe you want to be with me. Maybe you love me." he spoke truthfully.

"I'm NOT jealous, and I'm definitely not afraid. As for loving you; yeah I love you but ONLY as a brother! I'm worried about you, I don't want you to get hurt." I justified.

"I don't need a babysitter. You're just a kid."

"I AM NOT A KID!! I CAN TAKE CARE OF MYSELF!! I DON'T NEED YOUR HELP OR YOUR FREAKIN PROTECTION IF YOU'RE GOING TO ACT THAT WAY!" I screamed.

"Fine. Then I think it's best if we don't talk." he decided.

"What do you mean?" I asked hesitantly.

"I think we shouldn't be friends anymore. You don't need my protection and I don't need your help and worries" he justified.

"FINE! I wouldn't want to be friends with a jerk like you anyways"

"Bye Shahad." he said as he walked away. Away from me, away from our friendship, away from everything we ever shared.



I ran to the swings in the garden and sat on one of them crying my eyes out. I didn't want to go upstairs and face the girls. I cried and cried and cried until there were no tears left in my eyes to cry. I felt like a mourning wife after the death of her beloved husband. But instead of the dying husband it was a dying friendship. Why did I agree to stop talking to him? How will I live? I've depended on him for so long that I forgot how to stand on my two feet.

I sat on the swings for hours, thinking, doubting, and analysing what happend. Until I felt someone sitting on the swing next to mine. I turned my head to find Laith.

"Halla" he said with a smile.

"Ahlan" I replied trying to smile but my lips were failing me.

"Shahad ana aby a3t'thr 3n elly 9ar mn zman. Ma kan ga9dy a39b 3alaik enty w Sa3ad, ana al7een fahamt ena 3ela8atkm 3ela8at a5wan w ana asef marra." he apologised.

"La 3ady. Ma y7taj tet2asaf, I get what you're coming from."

"Shokran. Soulfy 3alay, aish a5er a5bark" he said, his smile never leaving his face. That's when I remembered the fight I had with Sa3ad, and the waterfalls began.

"SHAHD?? SHFEEK 9AYER SHAY?" he stood up worried, carried me, sat me on the grass next to him, and hugged me. I wouldn't talk, I just kept weeping.

"Shahad you can tell me, I promise I'll keep an open mind." he said sincerely. And I told him, I told him about everything that has resulted to the fight. He just sat there quietly, listening intently to what I was saying while hugging me.

When I was done with the story, he wiped my tears and said:

"5ala9 Shahad, la t9ee7een. Ma yswa t9ee7een 3alla wa7ed ma y3rf geemtk. Shh.. 5ala9"

"Bs he left." I said still not believing.

"W etha he left? You shouldn't care. Ma yswa 7etta ta36eena wagtk, dam ena kan sahel 3alaih ena ynsak ajal ensaaih la t'htamain lh. W ana bakon 9deegk w your protector w your hero bidalh w bakoun a7san mnh b mlyoun marra. Le2anny a3rf geemtk w gadrek w a3rf enk mn a7san el banat w maby t'6ee3 mny el for9a eny akoun greeb mnnk. So Shahad, will you be my friend?" he spoke with an air of confidence that left me in awe of him.

"I'd love that." I replied.

He hugged me again and we stayed that way, chatting through the night.

-End of flashback-



Laith truly helped me through the Sa3ad thing. Bandar and Sara know that I'm talking to Laith and they're okay with it. I'm beginning to see him in a new light; I once despised him and hated the way he treated me, but I now think that he's the best thing that has ever happened to me. I hope we stay like this forever.

When suddenly I heard the door open, and someone saying in a low but angry voice: 

"Eash ga3d tsawoon" 

Oh god..

- 

Please don't start a fight. Please don't start a fight. Please don't start a fight. Those were the words running through my head. I still don't know who's hugging me, in fact I'm afraid to turn back and face him. No not the person hugging me, but the person that possesses the angry voice.

"Rdo 3alay" he said yet again, still keeping his low-angry voice that sends shivers down my spine. 

The peson hugging me took his hands off me and said: 

"Ana w Shahad n7b ba3a'6" WHAT THE HELL?? 

The moment he uttered the first syllable I knew who he was. Why did he hug me? The last time we talked more like argued, he said awful words that made me cry. His words made me cry between the arms of the man with the awfully low-angry voice. 

Do you know who he is? 

Yes, he's 5alid. 

Why would he say that we lo-

"YA GLEEL EL 7AYA!" yelled Sa3ad as he advanced towards us. He held 5alid by us shirt and stuck him to the wall saying, "Ya elly ma tst7y, hathy e5t 9deegk mtrabya ma3ak w ktha tg3d tsawy? T5arb som3at'ha w som3at obooha?? 9dg enk 7mar! ETHLF MABY ASHOUF WAJHEK 7SABY MA3AK BA3DAIN"

"With pleasure" replied 5alid smirking as he left the room.

"W ENTY YA .. YAA .. MAGDAR AGOUL KELMAH T3ABER 3N MASHA3RY LK AL7EEN! AHLK 3AYASHOUK A7LA 3EESHA W ENTY KITHA TSAWEEN? TR'6AIN TSHOUFEEN OMK 7AZEENA? TR'6AIN TSHOUFEEN OBOOK M3A9EB? TR'6AIN TSHOUFEEN BANDAAR!! BANDAAR!! TA5YALY WSH BY9EER LH ETHA DARA!!"

"Bs Sa-"

"WALA KILMAAH!!" 

Tears were threatening to leave my eyes but I held them in. Until- 

"Enty ensanah w*6y*h w kareeha w ma 3omry aby ashoufk. Lamma ashoufek a7ss b lo3ah, enty mu 9deegty wala e5t 9deegy enty al7een 9rty wala shay bl nisba ly.. Mn al7een ana ma a3rfk wala enty ta3rfeeny." he said in a calm voice. His eyes were blazing with anger, he was furious. Furious of something I never did. Furious of something I never thought of doing. Furious of something I wasn't raised to do, and all that happened because of a lie 5alid told. 

"Oud-"

"ESMY MA YJY 3ALLA LSAANK FAHMA?!!! YALLA ROU7Y FOUG!!" he screamed. 

Like a rat I scurried away into my room afraid. As soon as I reached my room I jumped on the bed and cried. I cried my eyes out. 

After a couple of hours of just crying my phone started vibrating in my pocket, I threw it on the side and continued wailing. My room's door opened and a head popped out of it, it was Salma! Then Sara's head pops in, I tried smiling but my lips wouldn't move. 

Salma and Sara ran to me, jumped on my bed, and started hugging me. I continued crying. 

"Shahoody 7abeebty what's wrong? Aish 9ar?" Salma asked. 

"It's no-o-th-thing" I replied with tears streaming down my face.

"Shahad tell us, maybe we can help you" Sara said. 

I lied down with my head on Sara's lap and told them everything. I told them about the prank, 5alid's reaction, me crying and snuggling to Sa3ad, 5alid hugging me from the back, 5alid confessing his love, Sa3ad kicking him out, and finally Sa3ad un-friending me. I cried at the last part the most. I never wanted to lose him, he was my father, my mother, my brother, basically he was my protector. And now I have no one to fight my demons with. Sa3ad, why didn't you listen to me? 

After filling them in with what had happened, Salma suggested an amazing idea: 

"Roo7y lh when he's alone w tell him the truth" she said.

"He won't listen, he wouldn't even let me say his name" I replied with a waterfall coming from my eyes.

"Make.Him.Listen." Sara spoke.

and then we started planing our plan. 

-

We are now hiding behind the bushes in front of the duwaniya, waiting for Sa3ad to come out. 

After an hour and a half of waiting, he finally came out with talking to someone on the phone. He was smiling, then he was blushing, then he was laughing. I envied the person talking to him, that person made Sa3ad laugh and I was jealous. Salma stood up and called Sa3ad. 

"Sa3ad! Sa3ad! Abeek tsa3edny asheel akyas el ba8alah" she said. 

He quickly mumbled a bye into the phone then asked her to usher her to the bags. I quickly ran to our swimming pool and sat on the chairs next to it.

What he didn't know is that Salma was taking him to the pool where I would confront him.

I heard him say, "Salma, shaklek m'6ay3a hathy jihat el masba7" 

"La la.. el sawag 7a6 el akyas hena!" she urged. 

And that's when I saw him. Our eyes met. I held my breath. He stopped in his tracks. We stood there just staring at one another, Salma had already left us alone.

That's when I felt my heart break into tiny little pieces. He turned around and walked away. 

I ran up to him and held his arm, "Sa3ad please listen to me! Please!!" 

He looked at me with disgust and said, "Mahma glty w mahma sawaity mara7 y'3ayer shay" 

"Ella! bs please esma3ny!!" I begged. 

He raised an eyebrow, sighed then said "Tkalamy" 

"Sa3ad walla el 3a'6eem ena I'm not with him walla!! I turned around to get some milk from the fridge and then felt him hugging me, I thought it was you! Walla I thought it was you! But then I felt his hands and I couldn't feel the ring you always wear that's when I knew it wasn't you, in the moment where I was going to yell at the person you came in. I swear to you that I'm not with 5alid! You know my parents, you know how they raised me. Walla enny mo mtrabya 3alla hathy el swalef,, ana bnt w akthar shay ahtm lh hw som3aty 9adeegny! Sa3ad I know we weren't close when you were with Wajd, but after you left her we became closer, you were still my hero and my protector. Sa3ad walla when you said those things I felt like I just lost a piece of me, I felt like a 4 year old who had just lost his parents, I felt suffocated and alone. Sa3ad you're the closest person to me, please believe me" I cried as I whispered, "I don't want to be alone"

I hugged him with all my might but he still didn't utter a word, he still didn't hug me back, he was stiff as a rock. 

"Sa3ad? Why aren't you hugging me?" I asked, my voice low.

"Things will never be the same, that's why I'm not hugging you" he said with a voice filled with sorrow.

"What do you mean?" I questioned not understanding him.

"I'm back with Wajd"

Ja Bandar w a5at'ha L '3orfat'ha.

Allah y7fa'6ha w y5aleeha lnaa...


-

"Ayy" I said to myself.

I woke up with a huge headache. It must've been all the shouting, the crying, the hugging- Wait a minute! I was with Sa3ad the whole time, I've never spent that much time with him. Yeah sure I did when we were both kids, but we never spent that much time together after Wajd was in the picture. But they broke-up you idiot! Oh right.. The thing is; we never, and I repeat NEVER spent are time just hugging and snuggling, we would hug only once when we saw each other or when we felt like it. LAST NIGHT WAS AN EXCEPTION SMARTY! YOU WERE CRYING AND HE WAS COMFORTING YOU! I guess that would explain last night, but why would he kiss my forehead repeatedly, I mean it did comfort me but- Stop over analysing things! Ughh.. 

I got off my bed and headed to the bathroom, I guess Bandar carried me here last night poor him. I did the essentials, got dressed then called Salma and Sara and connected the conversations.

"Aloo" I said.

"ALOO YAL ZG!!" Salma yelled.

"Language" I replied laughing.

"La jed jed abad ma t'6a7ek el 7arakh elly sawaiteeha ams" Sara suddenly said.

"Ay 7arakh?" I asked curious.

"T3zmeena ba3dain lamma njy baitek ygoulna Bandar enk naymah" she said with a anger detectable in her voice.

"SHOOT! Guys I'm so sorry,, walla ma kan ga9dy bs 9ar fe salfah kbeera w ga3adt a9ee7 w-" I was interrupted.

"MOSHKILA? T9EE7EEN? AISH 9AR?" Salma shouted.

"SHAHAD 9ARLEK SHAY??" Sara yelled.

"La t5afoun, I'm better now bs marra asfa, 3ady tsam7ouny?" I asked.

"Aww.. 6ab3an 7abeebty we'll forgive you" Sara said.

"Speak for yourself" Salma replied to Sara, "ana basam7ek bs lw 3azamteena 3alla baitek elyoum!"

"Okaay, ajal el youm baity" I agreed.

"You're forgiven love" Salma said in a british accent.

"Yalla banat lazem arou7 af6er,, bye!" I spoke.

"Bye" they replied.


After I ended the phone call I headed to the kitchen and ate some cereal. I walked to the fridge to put the milk back when I felt someone hugging me from the back. I tried to struggle from his grip but I couldn't.

"Bandaaar! 5ala9 3ad! Aby a76 el 7aleeb.."

"Bandaaar"

"Wallah ma y'6a7ek, laish ma tetkalam?" and that's when I smelled that amazing fragrance.. Mmm I love that smell.

"You're not Bandar" I whispered.

"Mmm" that deep voice replied making me 100% sure that he isn't Bandar.

"6yb meen?" I asked.

But the person remained quiet. I had a feeling that the guy hugging me was Sa3ad, the perfume I smelled had the same exact smell as Sa3ad's. Sa3ad also wears a black tiffany & co. ring on his left ring finger, but when I reached my hand (My eyes were closed) to touch it, it wasn't there. I felt the person's skin from his hands and I knew it wasn't Sa3ad. But just to confirm my suspicions I looked down at his hand and there wasn't any ring. OH MY GOD!

"Meen?" I asked.

No answer.

"La la jed meen?" I asked again.

No answer.

"Bala sa5afah,, please gool ly meen" I questioned.

When suddenly I heard the door open, and someone say in a low but very angry voice:

"Eash ga3d tsawoon"

Oh god..

I was so happy..

-

I can't do this anymore! Anxiety is eating me. Oudy and I have been staring at the TV for the past 3 hours waiting for the guys to wakeup. We still don't know how the guys will react, oh god maybe they'll get so mad? Maybe they'll take it seriously? Maybe they'll .. they'll ki-

"EL7MARA HATHY!!" my thoughts were interrupted by Bandar's shouts outside.

"WALLA LA AWAREEHA! SHOOFO AISH SAWAT THY EL GRDA B SHA3RY!" yelled 5alid.

"3ADY HY BS GA9AT SHA3RK! ANA 7A6ATLY 3ASAL!! 3ASAL AGOULEK!!!" screamed Fahad.

"Oh shit.." I whispered looking at Bandar.

"Shahad 3ady la t5afeen ana ma3ak. Shoofy ana barou7 at5aba hnak -he pointed at the kitchen- w etha sawoolk shay 9adgeeny ana bawareehm" Sa3ad spoke trying to cover the fear in his eyes.

"La la la Sa3ad please don't leave me" I hugged him tightly.

"Shh .. shh. I'm not gonna leave you, I'll be across the room. w 9adgeeny etha sawoolk shay ma yloumon ela nafs'hm okaay?" he assured still holding me in his arms.

"Hmm.. ok-k-aay" I replied letting go.

"Yalla ana raye7.. Take care Doodi" he said as he walked into the kitchen.

Oh god.. I'm all alone here!! God help me! No no Shahad you're not alone, Sa3ad's is in the other room. He'll protect me, I know he will. My childhood prince has always had my back. 

"SHAAAAAHAAAAAAAAADDDDDD!!!!" Bandar growled as he entered the living room with 5alid and Fahad following him.

"Ha-hall-a?" I couldn't even recognise my own voice. Oh crap I'm scared. 

I kept my head down and avoided looking at the guys.

"AISH SAWAITY FEEENAAA?" Bandar shouted.

"Ana? Ma sawait shay?" finally finding the courage to look up. OH MY GOD!!

"HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA" I laughed so much that I fell on the ground and continued laughing.

"Mafy shay y'6a7k" he said forcing himself not to smile.

"Ell- haha.. ella!! look at your -haha- selves" I couldn't stop laughing.

Bandar was infront of me, and the paint really made him look like a slu*tty girl wearing full makeup. 5alid and Fahad were standing behind him; 5alid had that pouty face on while his hair was cut unevenly and he looked like a baby with the pink bow tied to his hair. Fahad on the other hand, was a whole other story completely the honey and spiky hairstyle were still on his head but, what made him look more funny was that he still had ketchup on the corners of his mouth and he still had the shawarma in hand. They looked HILARIOUS!

Suddenly Bandar and Fahad cracked up and laughed with me, but 5alid still had his pouty mouth and was still giving me angry looks.. until-

"LAISH TG9EEN SHA3RY?!" he yelled.

"MA TA3RFEEN ENAAH A7LAA SHAY FEENY?? MA TA3RFEEN GAD AISH ANA AHTAM L SHA3RY??" he continued.. while I just sat there staring at him with a shocked look on my face.

"5alid ehda" Bandar said.

"EHDAA? AISH ELLY 'EHDA'?? ENT SHFT WSH E5TK SAWAT B SHA3RY? SHFT SHLOUN 5ARABATA? SHFT?? W LA ENT JAY TGOULY 'EHDA'!!"

I was shaking.. fear took over my body.

"5alid" that amazing voice spoke.

5alid turned around facing Sa3ad, "NA3AM?"

Suddenly Bandar whispered in my ear, "Jak prince charming" and I just glared at him.

"Lw sma7t ma nby mashakl, e7na kina ga3deen nl3ab-" 5alid cut him off.

"TL3BOUN? TL3BOUN? MO KITHA EL NAS TL3AAB!" he screamed. Thank god Mama and Baba are out so they wouldn't have to endure this.

"5ALID!! Ehjed!" Sa3ad yelled loosing his patience, "Ana elly g9ait sha3rk w tarra Shahad ma sawat shay, la tg3d t'haze2 el bnt w ent ma ta3rf aish el salfah!"

"LA WALLA? BTJY ETDAFE3 3ANHA MTHL DAYEM!! ADRY ENHA HY ELLY GA9ET'H W ENK GA3ED ETDAF3 3ANHA! TARRA KILNA NDRY.. KNT ETSAWEEHA DAYEM!! DAYEM ETDAFE3 3ANHA W MA T5ALEEHA TA5ETH MAS2OULEYAT A3MALHA!!

Est'3fer allah bazrah!" he burst out with anger in his voice, his eyes, his face, his everything.

"5ALID BSS!!" shouted Oudy.

"3n ethnekom, ana 6ale3" said 5alid glaring at me.


I couldn't help it my tears were streaming down my face unannounced. I can't believe that 5alid.. my childhood friend would say such things about me. I tried to stop my tears from falling but I couldn't. I started shaking, and then I hugged my knees to my chest.

"Shahoody bs la t9ee7een" Bandar said.

"Eee ya Shwaish tarana kilina mt3awdeen 3alla 5alid el 3a9aby" Fahad chipped in.

"Ya shabab, momkn aklm Shahad shwy?" spoke Sa3ad.

"Yalla gmt" said Bandar.

"Ana barou7 aklm 5alid, bashouf wsh salft'h" added Fahad.

After the guys left, Oudy sat next to me and released the grip on my knees. He hugged me, I held him tight, and just sobbed in his chest while he played with my hair calming me down. He then pulled my face up to meet his face's level and cupped it.

"Shh.. shh.. bs 3ad Doodi, ma aby ahsoufk t9ee7een" he spoke soothingly.

"Bs bs .. Oudy ma y9eer! Gal kalam marra y'6ayeg, w el moshkila ena mu ana elly ga9ait sha3ra" I sobbed.

"5ala9 Doodi la t9ee7een.. shh.. sh.. Ta3aly" he said hugging me with all his strength.

He started playing with my hair to soothe me, still holding me in his arms. We stayed in that position for the next 2 hours until I finally slept, but not before feeling that little kiss he left on my forehead.


-Sa3ad's point of view-

Perfume - Chapter 12

Oudy blushed "I love you too Doodi. I will always protect you my princess" 

-End of flashback-

-

"Shahad.. Shahad.. Sha-"

"Halla?" I replied to Sa3ad who was frantically waving his hands infront of me face.

"Shfeek sara7ty?" he asked.

"La wala shay Oudy"

"Oudy?" he questioned with evident shock in his voice, "Mn zmaan ma samaiteeny Oudy"

"Huh?.. umm ee adry" I replied while my face turned into fifty shades of red.

"I like it" he confessed.

"Aish?" I said, trying to mask my confusion.

"I like when you call me 'Oudy', it's better than 'Sa3oudy'... y5aleeny at'thkr thkrayat ktheera 7ilwa" he spoke with a faint blush appearing on his cheeks.

"Me too.. I'll start calling you Oudy from now on, alright?" I asked.

"Fine by me. Al7een aish salftek m3 hathy el supplies? w aish el prank elly bnsaweeh 3alaihom?" he interrogated.

"Here's what we'll do...." and I told him the whole plan.

After debriefing Sa3ad on my plan we got ready to do it. We entered the duwaniya, as soon as I saw the guys I tried to stifle my giggle. Sa3ad gave me that "Shh.." sign with his hand whilst smiling, and I held it in. Bandar was lying on the ground with his arms and legs stretched out while 5alid rested his head on Bandar's chest snuggling to him, just like a sleeping couple. Fahad was another story completely; he was lying on the coach with ketchup on the corners of his mouth and a Shawarma in his hand HUGING IT!

They were completely oblivious to their sleeping arrangement, and that made me want to fall back on the ground a laugh. Just as I was going to laugh, I felt a warm pair of hands covering my mouth. Sa3ad was smiling crazily, he made sure that the laugh left my system then removed his hands. And then we proceded with our plan...

Using paint, I drew on Bandar's face with bright colours. He look like those sl*tty girls that go to the mall with full makeup, only he looked manlier (Imagine your brother or a guy cousin wearing full makeup, that's exactly what he looked like). I then went to Fahad and poured honey on his hair, yes HONEY, then I styled his hair into spikes. The whole time I was working on Bandar and Fahad, Sa3ad was cutting 5alid's hair in uneven cuts (If I haven't mentioned it, 5alid is a hair freak! He makes sure his hair is perfect every second.. so Imagine if he sees it cut badly). Bandar then added a huge pink bow on top, then we put the video camera on one of the room's corners and pressed record..  and we were done!

We left the duwaniya holding our giggles, then went to the room. We sat there watching TV silently, waiting for the guys to wakeup. Anxiety, fear, and thrill were the feelings coursing through me. I just want to see the look on their faces when they see what we did to them. I couldn't help it, the thought made me fall back on my seat with laughter, soon enough Oudy joined me..

I was happy..

Better watch out guys 'cause this time I'll show you no mercy!


Hmm ... What to do? What to do?

I am now walking stupidly around the house thinking of a prank to pull on the guys (That's really happening to me right now!) My mind is literally blank!

OHHH I KNOW!!

I headed to the kitchen and the storage room, and got the supplies I needed. I changed my pyjamas and wore black leggings with a white shirt, then headed to the Duwaniya.


Just as I was about to enter the Duwaniya-

"Boo!" a voice yelled from behind me.

I jumped up in the air and muffled my scream "Yuma.. 5ara3tny!"

He chuckled "Shfty shaklek? WAAAAK! N6aity theek el na6aah.. Haha"

"Bs 3as Sa3oud" I scolded with a faint smile appearing on my lips.

"La 5ala9 5ala9 asfeen yal 3amah.. Aish ma3ak?" he asked eyeing the supplies with me.

"Um.. wala shaay" I said hurriedly giving him an innocent look.

"La tgouleenly knty btsaween prank bedouny? Doodi we made a promise, a pinky promise ba3ad" he said with a hurt look on his face.

Doodi .. that name triggered so many memories..



-Flashback 11 years ago-

I was 6 years old and Sa3ad was 10. My mom was hosting a huge family gathering at our chalet, I hated those so much! I still do. I decided to do something that might make the women freak out so that they won't visit us again.

I begged my uncle Sami (he was 20 at that time) to take me to the mall's supermarket to buy "candy", I made such a fuss that my grandmother forced him to take me. When we arrived, I knew I needed a diversion to get away from him so I headed to the candy isle and started throwing candy around.

"SHAHAD BS!" he yelled shocked and starting picking the candy off the floor.

I took that chance and ran away, out of the supermarket. I then headed to the pet shop and bought 40 cockroaches with my own money. I went back to the supermarket to find him looking frantically for me.

"SHAHAAAD!!!" uncle Sami ran up to me and hugged me tightly. "Wain kntyy? 9arly sna adawr 3alaik!! Laish ma nadaiteeny?? Shahad marra 5ft 3alaik! Aish hathy el keesaa?" he hugged me again, eyeing the Zara bag suspiciously.

Yes, before going back to him I passed by Zara and asked for a bag, so he wouldn't see the cockroaches.

"Sharait hadya L mama" I replied giving a toothy smile. Oh if he only knew.. Haha.

"Shahooda 7abeebty marra thanya tell me if your going out of the supermarket, 5ft 3alaik." he said, "Aish sharaity l Noura (my mom)?"

"Surprise" I replied happily.

We went back to buying candy, chips, and chocolates for all of the kids, the headed back to the chalet.

As soon as I entered the chalet I was greeted by a small boy's scream "DOODI!!"

"OUDY" I ran to him and he met me half way with his comforting hug.

"Ya7lailhm" we heard my mother say.

"Ee walla yhabloon" Sa3ad's mother replied.

"5ala9 7jazna bntkm.. Shahad l Sa3ad" Sa3ad's father added chuckling.

"Doodi aish hathy el keesa?" Sa3ad asked me.

"Umm.." I replied contemplating if I should tell him or not, "agoolk bs shh.. it's a secret"

He held my hand and we ran to the kitchen, and I told him the whole plan. Surprisingly, he agreed to help.

"Doodi, promise me that we'll do all our pranks together" Sa3ad said.

"I promise Oudy" I replied.

"Pinky promise?" he asked holding out his pinky and I did the same. We sealed the deal with our innocent pinky promise.

That's when I heard my mom call out the women to dinner. We quickly ran to the dinner buffet and threw all the cockroaches on the food. As soon as the women arrived they began screaming frantically and running around, while me and Oudy just cried with laughter. The women began leaving, and the gathering ended. Then my mom and Oudy's mom both held us and took us to the living room where our families were seated. Oudy and his mom took a seat with the rest, it was just me and mama.

"3aib 3alaik ya Shahad! Ma twa8a3t'ha mnk! Kaif tsaween kitha!!!" mama began screaming frantically, and I was crying. That's when the little voice in the crowd spoke.

"5ala Noura, Doodi ma sawat shay.. ana glt laha lw ma ramat el 9ar9our ba6igha" Oudy spoke, taking all the blame.

"Sa3ad!" his mom gasped, "3aib 3alaik! Ma tst7y!!" And the night dragged on with both families lecturing him.

The next day, I woke up early in the morning and found Oudy crying in the kid's play room.

"OUDY! What's wrong?" I questioned as I ran to him.

"Nothing, I'm okay" he said wiping away his tear.

"Oudy tell me!" I begged.

"My family hates me because of the cockroach prank" he sobbed.

"Oudy, don't cry. I still love you" I said hugging him with all my might.

"Really Doodi?" he asked lifting his head up, with a face full of hope.

"Yes! You're my hero. Thank you for saving me" I replied, then kissed his cheek.

Oudy blushed "I love you too Doodi. I will always protect you my princess"
