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...
