Perfume - Chapter 37 *Pre-finale*

"Enty 7yaty kilha" he whispered into my ears just before I drifted off into sleep... 

-

I never believed in love, never believed in my knight in shining armour never cared about the concept of boys. Just the fact that one person can change your thoughts and fall head over heels is beyond me. I trusted that person so much that I believed everything he ever told me, little did I know that it was just a lie. My mind wanted to believe him so bad, my heart did too. So I trusted him and believed everything he ever told me. 

He's gone now, he's never coming back. They're all gone, they all left me here alone. I will never see that beautiful smile again or those deep eyes. I'll miss the way he crinkles his nose whenever we talk about something as disgusting as old unwashed socks, I'll miss the way his whole face lights up whenever we talk about starting a family, he'd look like a 5 year old who was given 50 riyals on Eid. I'll miss the innocence in his face. 

He's gone. This is how it's all supposed to be. The thought of him still makes me smile, but then I remember that he's not here anymore and immediately the tears start streaming down my face. In mere days he became my everything. He showed me what real love is. He showed me how to trust and believe in things I never believed in. I fell for him, hard. It was like jumping into the sea; you'll feel cold as soon as your body hits the water, that's the beginning when you don't know if you should trust him or not - the uneasiness, but after swimming for a few minutes you start to enjoy it, enjoy your relationship and find deep pleasure in it. All that is gone now, he's not coming back. 


"C'mon sweetie" my mother called me. 

I glanced at the garden behind the window and wished I'd see him again. I left the room that has been my home for 7 weeks and walked out. 

"Thank you Dr." I said before I left the place. 


And depression hits me once again...

Perfume - Chapter 36


I excused myself to go to bed and ran up the stairs eagerly to see what my 'surprise' is.

The surprise wasn't a what.

It was a who..

--

"Laith?! Aish ga3d tswy hina?" I asked him. 

His hand was under my pillow and he was holding a blue velvet box in his hands. "Uhh Shahad, umm madry" he stuttered. 

"Laish yadk t7t ma5adty?" I asked.

"Bs?" he replied. 

I headed his way and removed the pillow to find pickles.. of all the things, PICKLES! Was that Salman's surprise? What the hell is going on?! 

"Mn wain lk el blue box elly b ydk?" I asked. 

"Uhm ana sharaita" he said nervously.

"LA TKATHEB!!" I yelled. 

"Ushh fashalteena! Eskty la ygoum Bandar al7een" he whispered. 

"Where did you get the box?" 

"Wala makan 5ala9! Eskty!!" 

"Ana elly 7a6ait el box, hadya mn Salman" I turned around to find 5alid.

"5alid aish el salfa?" I asked. 

"Salman gal ly a76 hatha el box ta7t m5adtk w ba3dain shft Laith yd5el w ybadel el box b pickles fa glt asket w atfaham ma3ah bs dam enk jeety 5oothy el box mina" 5alid explained. 

"What? Hathy el hadya? Laith 3a6ny el box!" 

"LA! Ma abeek ta5theenha!" he replied. 

"Laith! GIVE ME MY BOX!!" 

"LAA!!"

"Wsh el salfa?" both Fahad and Salman entered. Salman saw the box in Laith's hand and immediately pushed him to the wall. "La t5areb 3alaina youmna! 3a6ny el 3elba" 

"LA MABY!!" 

The rest of the gang showed up from the racket we were making. Great, now everyone knows that Salman bought me something. Ma teswa 3alay :) 

"LAITH 5ALA9 36 EL BOX L SALMAN W 5AL NFRA7!" Bandar yelled. Wait, did he say 'nefra7'? Why?

"Fine. Shahad bagoulk shay.." Laith said while handing Salman the blue velvet square shaped box. 

"Aish?" I was curious, what more does he want to say? 

"Ana lissa a7bk" he confessed while everyone gasped in horror. Salman was angry as hell, the word furious would even describe how I felt. I was enraged, how dare he? After all that has happened, he still won't give up?

"E6la3 barra" I replied. 

"Wisho?" 

"E6LA3 BARRA! GLEEL EL ADAB! MA ABEEK MA TFHAAM??" I exploded, everyone was shocked from my behaviour. 

Laith went out with a broken expression on his face, and Salman pulled me to his chest. "It's okay baby, everything's going to be okay" he whispered those words that did wonders. Just one word from him would make me feel better. He's amazing. 

"What just happened?" Salma asked. 

"Apparently, my a*s of a brother won't leave Shahad alone even though the broke up months ago" Sara replied. 

"Shabab-" Salman began but Salma cut him off. 

"w banat" 

He shot her a glare and continued, "Shabab w BANAT" looks at Salma, "3ndy lkm 5abar" he smiled and looked at Bandar who looks excited. What's going on? 

"Shahoody" Salman said. 

"Halla?" I looked at him to find him kneeling on one knee. 

"A7bk w abeek t9eereen om 3yaly. Be mine?" he proposed opening the box that showed a Cartier 1895 platinum solitaire that has little diamonds engulfed around the ring. 

"Huh?" speechless would be the word to use for this situation. 

"A7BK! Marry me!" he repeated. 

I stood there dumbfounded. 

"What do you say?" 

I remembered all the nights we hung out together, and how he never made a tear run down my face. He always knew how to make me smile or laugh. He always treated me like a princesses, was he my knight in shining armour? I didn't even realise how much I depended on him. I love him. 

I snapped out of my whole day dream to find the room empty, he wasn't there. I could've sworn he was kneeling on one knee a minute ago. I ran downstairs to see everyone in a gloomy state. 

"Aish 9ayer?" I asked. 

"Kaif terf'6eena? Tedreen ena ra7 3nd mama w baba b London 3ashan y6leb ydk? w lamma ygoulk 'tetzwjainy' ma trdeen.. mskeen el walad 3ad el so2al 5 marat w enty 9af6ita" Bandar said. 

"AISH?? WAINA??" I asked. 

"Laish 3ashan tjr7een galba zyada?" 

"BANDAR WAIN SALMAN ANA MU FA'6YA LK" I yelled. 

"Mwafga?" he asked in awe. 

"W fe a7ad ygdar ygoul L Salman la2?" I smiled. 

"Bser3a el7gy 3alaih ra7 el shalaih gal byrja3 3end ahla" he warned. 

I ran out of the chalet doors heading to Salman's chalet. I went inside his car was there but he wasn't. I looked upstairs and downstairs and yet I didn't find him. I felt like my world was crashing in around me, I couldn't handle the thought of leaving him disappointed. 

I ran to the sea to calm my nerves. I saw a hooded figure there, the whole posture of this guy screamed 'depressed', I ran over to him "SALMAN" 

He turned around and looked at me with the most heartbreaking face ever, "SALMAN A7BK MABY '3AIRK" I yelled running over to him.

His face lit up immediately and pulled me to his chest, "A7bk, a7bk, a7bk, a7bk" he kept repeating that and kissing my forehead continuously. He put the ring on my finger and looked at me with a smile. 

"Enty 7yaty kilha" he whispered into my ears just before I drifted off into sleep...

Perfume - Chapter 35

"Kiss me"

--

"Wha-at?" My whole face went pale and it became harder for me to breath. How could he ask that? Is it some sick twisted game he's playing? I mean he's the one who left me and now he wants me to freakin' kiss him? Sicko.

"Kiss me" he repeated himself. Everyone was quiet, they were all shocked, tongue-tied even.

"La"

"Wsh da3wa! Bas abeek tboosen yady! Ma gelt lek boosy famy" he stated.

Everyone sighed in relief, I guess they were holding their breath as well.

"Okay." He held his hand out and I kissed it but soon ran to the toilet and puked. The thought of me being close to him disgusted me so much that it caused me to be sick physically. After Salman came in the picture I realised that Laith and Sa3ad are jerks that never took our relationship seriously. On the other hand, Salman is sweet, respectful, and a complete gentleman.


"Shahad feek shay 7abeebtie?" Bandar peeked from the outside door.

"La bs ta3bana shwy" I replied.

"Estafra'3ty?"

"Eee"

"Shahad aish rayek awadeek el mstashfa? Mu mn 3waydek faj2a tzw3een" he asked.

"La maby arou7 akeed mn el barbecue" I said.

"Bra7tek, bs etha tbeen troo7en gooly ly a awadeek okay?"

"Okay"


After the chat with Bandar I headed back to the group, they were all worried thinking that I have a virus or something, but I assured them I was fine. Laith was stealing glances at which was weird, he smiled whenever I looked him in the eye. Salman obviously noticed and gestured for me to head outside.

"Ana raye7 el 7amam" he announced.

A couple of minutes later I stood up, "Ba7e6 jwaly bl charger" and headed outside.



"Hey there stranger" I greeted him.

"Hey there beautiful" he replied.

"Laish nadaitny faj2a?" I asked.

"Madry zahagt w kan wedi ag3ed ma3ak l7alna" he replied.

"Well.. I'm here" I stated.

"Let's sit" he pulled me to the sand.

"Mta ta5arojk?" Salman asked.

"El esbou3 el jay"

"Mtwatra?"

"Marra! a5af a6ee7 lamma ynadoun esmy aw shay"

"La t5afeen you'll be fine" he assured me.

"Laish kan Laith yna'6er feek w yebtism?" Salman said out of the blue.

"Madry? Marra '3areeb hatha el sha59, marra yebtism w marra y5ez.. ygharny"

"Ma 3alaik mina Shahood. Fakry feeha b tet5arjain b3d esbou3 w b3dain btengleen New York"

"A55 a7eb New York!" I said excitedly.

"Shahooda I have a surprise for you" he suddenly said.

"What?" I was curious.

"Lamma tergain foug btelgain shay ta7t m5adtk.. that's your surprise"

"Ajal thank you mo8adaman" I hugged him.


We spent the rest of the night talking to one another, he always manages to make me smile. I don't know how he does it, he's like a miracle worker. With him, I forget my worries and my pain. He's different. He's kind, sweet, and funny. I hope this friendship lasts..

I excused myself to go to bed and ran up the stairs eagerly to see what my 'surprise' is.

The surprise wasn't a what.

It was a who..
