Part Eight

Me: umm.. Inzain when was the last time he came here?

6ab3an ma3ali thay3a bi6osha o ma tadri wut was going through my mind

Nurse: he's here ms.zaina, talking to dr.kamal

I closed my eyes, realizing my dreams weren't dreams after all..

Me: nurse? Bring him to me.

Nurse: ok ms.zaina (walking out..)

I took a deep breath, failingly attempting to calm my heart that was skipping more beats than any heart could possibly endure...

*******************************************************************************



I kept my eyes closed..

Ma3ali: aloo? Gooleeli zayoon shisalfa laish bityeebeen irayal? Mala da3i..

Me: awalan imbala leh da3i.. I must thank him, maga9ar ma3ay.. Thaniyan.. I think I know who this guy is..

Ma3ali: mino?

Me: him..

Ma3ali: shino tista3bi6ain zayoon?! Mino taq9ideen?!

Me: umm.. Black porsche?

Ma3ali: shako? 7addich tit7allimain, mako '3airi bideera ya3ni 3ashan ykoon ohwa illi yabich?

Me: ma3ali.. Chub

Ma3ali: wallah low mo mkassira min foug lay ta7at chan warraitich..

Me: hehe ok..

And then the door opened.. Slowly..

*********************************************************************************


dr: yabni malak.. Ba2ullak ilbint il7amdu lillah bi5air wmafeehash 7aga..

Yusif: shloun b5air dr.. Libnaya mitkasra oo ma gamat illa 3ugub 4 ayam.. Tgooli b5air?

Dr: aywa b5air.. Howwa meen il mushrif 3alaiha hina? Ana wella enta?

Yusif: 3afwan dr ana mo qa9di, bas abi at6amman 3alaiha..

*Knock Knock*

Dr: itfaddal

The nurse opened the door and came in..

Nurse: sorry dr for interrupting..Sir, ms.zaina is asking to see u..

Yusif: huh? Me?!

Nurse (smiling): yes sir u..

Yusif: why? And how did she know that am here?

Nurse: I told her sir.. She was asking about the flowers..

Yusif: aha..

Wihga. Shagool 7ag libnaya? I promised her that she wouldn't see me again. Min awalha breaking promises ;s Akeed she's mad that I was there at the accident.. Ashkara I was still following her around, wella 3ayal how come it was me who brought her to the hospital? Urgh, I hate this. O hathail il nurses ma y3arfoon ysakroon 7aljhum? Lazim ya3ni garga zayda..

Dr: ustaz yusif...?

Yusif: huh.. Hala hala dr?

Dr: ru7t fain yabni.. Ba2ali sa3a banadi 3alaik

Yusif: asif dr.. Bali mash'3ool shway..

Dr: baayin.. Yalla yabni roo7 shufha..

Yusif: ee yalla.. 3an ithnik..

Dr: iznak ma3ak.. (Mumbling: wa minal 7ubbi ma qatal !)

I glared at him.. Nag9ik ana wiyya 9al3itik.. I opened the door and walked through those corridors for the millionth time in those few days.. Shagoolaha? Asif bas ma gidart a5aleech tmooteen jidam 3yooni? That's pathetic! Maybe I should just leave? Bas la shbitgool 3anni..
I was right in front of her door. Silence. I could hear my heartbeats loud in my ears. Shfeeni 5agait'ha marra wa7da? I should just do it o afik 3umri.. I took a deep breath, and knocked softly on the door; she might have returned to sleep.. No one answered. I opened the door to get a glimpse of her angelic face.. I've been coming in everyday since she was here. I'd wait til her father leaves, and then wait to see if that girl would come, and then I'd go in after they'd all left. Yes maybe its wrong, but I just can't let her stay alone, even in her sleep. I would bring a bouquet of flowers everyday; she's more than worth all the flowers in the world. I wanted her to be happy to see the flowers when she opens her eyes. But unfortunately isalfa ingalbat 3alay, she'll be mad now.

I pushed the door as slowly and quietly as I could. From the door, I couldn't see the bed, but there wasn't anyone in the room. I closed the door quietly behind me and went in..

********************************************************************************

For a few seconds I thought that someone had the wrong room and went out. But then I heard the same thumping that I heard a while ago. And then... He appeared in front of me. His eyes went wide when he saw my eyes open, and ma3ali sitting on the chair next to me. His face turned deep red under his tanned skin.

Yusif: uhh.. Asif.. 6aggait ilbab o ma7ad rad..

Me: 3adi

I just realized I was blushing too, under my scars and bruises. I was looking away from him, but I could see that he had lowered his eyes to the floor. Waay zoqa :$ Umm inzain al7een shagoola? Ubbay am stupid I should've planned it before doing this :s

Ma3ali: (whispering) zaina? Hello? Irayal na6ir!!

Me: 9ara7a madri shagoolik.. I don't know how to thank u..

Brain: Pathetic!! U could do better

Yusif: ma sawwait illa ilwajib.. Il7imdillah 3ala salamtich

I raised my eyes to him. He was staring at the foot of my bed.

Me: umm.. thanks for all the flowers, bas didn't u notice something was missing? Feehum killihum?

Brain: that's my girl!! ;)

He stared, right into my eyes. He looked shocked; afraid.. I don't know!! Why can't I read this guy's face?

Yusif: wut was missing?

Me: hehe.. Ismik?!

Releif. That I can see. Why was he afraid of me? Did I look that bad? :s

Yusif: asif wallah I didn't notice.. Ana yusif il******

I was surprized. I glanced at ma3ali. Her face kan FILIM. LOL. She was shocked, 3ala thay3a, 3ala mo m9adga inni it was really HIM. Plus the shock of his family name. Like mino bideera MA y3arifhum?!

Me: winni3im feek..

Yusif: yin3am ib7alich..

Me: umm.. Yusif?

The look on his face changed, as if something inside him was moving him.. His facial expressions are impossible to read :s What's he hiding?

Yusif: aamray?

Me: fee so2al mo gadra algala jawab..

He frowned..

Yusif: shino ohwa?

Me: ana mit2akda 100% inna lemma di3amt, there was no black porsche around..

His face turned into the deepest red. But it didn't look like anything I've seen before..

Yusif: ma kint bil porsche..

Me: 3ayal?

Yusif: I was driving another car..

And then it hit me. He promised he wouldn't let me catch him again tailing me; that didnt mean that he'd stop the whole thing.. Aaah <3 !!

Me: wut was it?

Yusif: escalade..

Me: color?

Yusif: white..

Me: hmm.. Shrayik ta36eeni list of the cars u own?

His head was down. And he looked upset. Wuts wrong with him? That was supposed to be a joke..

Yusif: ok shoofay adri I promised.. But I really couldn't hold myself back from inni asayrich lay il bait.. O I thought changing cars would make u think that I stopped following u.. But bringing u here gave me away.. Ma gidart an6ir ilis3af..

Were those tears in his eyes? Min 9ijja hatha? He thinks am mad inna he saved me? That he was there next to me when I needed him?!

Me: la7tha la7tha.. Inta fahim il mawthoo3 '3ala6

His face: Confussion. And some more of it.

Me: u think ana za3lana lana kint la7igni?!

Ma3ali 3a6atni nathra - 6oooooo6!!!

Me: umm.. Ok ok.. Its not wut u think.. And am grateful that u were there...

My face was BURNING. Ubbay badda3t. Min 9ijji ana? ;$

He gave me soft smile, a mix of happiness, guilt, and shame.

Me: wallah mo za3lana.. Bil 3aks :$....

He was turning to leave, when he stop suddenly, searching in his jeans pocket. He took out a crumpled paper, blood stains over it. He came over to my bedside table, and placed the paper on top of it.

Yusif: I think, now after u've said it, u'll want this back..

He turned to leave, reaching the door, I realized this was the paper I was holding tight to when I went unconcious in the accident.. I held it in my hand, close to my heart..

He opened the door and was going out..

Me: Yusif!!!

He turned back to me..

Me: mita tyee marra thanya?

Yusif: don't worry.. I'll never leave u

He gave me the sweetest smile ever, and closed the door behind him... <3
