Part Three

The guy was approaching us.. Umbay min 9ijja?!?! I was on the verge of tears, madri shako, 5ayfa ysawi filim jidam inas... I got into the car just as he was getting right in front of our car........

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

Nathra guy: isalam 3alaikom..
Baba: wa3alaykom isalam ?
Nathra guy: 3ammi asif 3al iz3aj.. Bas 7abbait ayeeblik mobilik.. Nisaita 3ala i6awla bil ma63am..

OH MY GOD.. Was I dreaming? Up close, he looked as handsome as ever.. He was tall, WAY taller than I was, broad shoulders, with a perfect body. He was just a bit muscular, not over done. His skin was lightly tanned with dirty li7ya oo mbayin under his '3itra inna he was mgarri3. Aaaahhh... <3

Baba: oh! ee wallah mo ma3ay jihazi.. Mashkoor oo ma ga99art, allah ykathir min amthalik shabab liq8 i6aybeen
The guy smiled the most heartbreaking smile.. Did he have to look so nice??

"Him": affa 3alaik 3ammi.. Ma sawaina shay illa il wajib
Baba: tislam wallah ma ga99art
"Him": allah ysalmik 3ammi.. Yalla 3an ithnik

Just as he was turning to leave, his eyes were on me for a few seconds. I saw a hint of a smile on his lips.. Omg omg omg.. I blushed so hard I thought my face was going to melt.. Wut a coincidence illi baba nisa his mobile on the table!! I was quiet all the way home, thinking of this wierd guy.. Why was he so interested? Ya3ni ok I do look nice, bas chinna he's over-doing his "am-interested-in-u" show? Madri it was all dreamlike.. La7tha la7tha.. Am actually thinking about a guy?! Min mita? That SO isn't me!! Ma3qoola am changing so fast after I've seen him? Min 9ijji ana.. Illi yisma3 ygool he proposed or something.. Uffff...

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

I spent an hour or so at home freshenin' up. 5alti sara was off to her parent's gathering, leaving behind 5aloodi oo faroo7a. Baba was taking his nap. I was ready to leave for my grandma's. We went outside to the car. The fireej was full of cars; everyone ought to be visiting today..
I knelt into the backseat to fasten 5aloodi into his childseat. As I was fastening his belt, I got the feeling of being watched. I looked up only to see faroo7a babbling about how she didn't like how her hair was falling over her shoulders. No that wasn't it. I have the feeling that someone I CAN'T see is watching me. I shut the door and look around. There wasn't anyone standing on the street except me. I looked at the cars. No one. But... There's this black Porsche.. the windows were so dark. I had the feeling that there was someone behind those windows. I got goosebumps all over me. I quickly got into my car and shut the door. I pressed the LOCK button. Ubbay wuts happening? Shfeeni? Ana faj2a am getting freaked out because of sayara m'3ayima?! ME?! Ana illi a5arri3 deera, now 5ayfa min something so stupid.. Come on zayoon seriously.. Toughen up ur not like that..

On the way to grandma's my thoughts drifted back to the guy at burger boutique. Could it possibly be..? But why!! Ya3ni ok diraina he was mtanni7 3alay, oo he smiled a bit.. Bas so wut!! Yimkin tatnee7ta was just like mine, sar7an in another world with his eyes resting on my space. But his looks weren't as if he was daydreaming. He was WATCHING me. Aaaah am starting to get paranoid. I tried to concentrate on my way.. I glanced at the rearview mirror.. Was that a black porsche that I just saw? I look around.. Left.. right... Nothing... Ubbay la2 ga3da ayin!!!

It took me a long time til I found a place to park my car. Shakla lots of ppl are here already. I opened my door and went to the other side of my car to take out 5alood.. That took some time too.. With faroo7a pulling at my curls..

Faroo7a: Noona noona abi cuwly!!
Me: la 7abeebty al7een 5ala9 ma nigdar insawee curly
Faroo7a: why u make and me no? :(
Me: sweety ana sha3ri chithee.. I don't make it!!
Faroo7a: (pulling harder) mabi mabi!! Abi same u!!
Me: 5ala9 2nite asaweelich.. Ok 7ayaty?
Faroo7a: ok :D

Wih.. Ma a9addig'ha.. Smillah 3alaiha t3arif more than she ought to, oo ana illi mitwahga! At last, I unbuckled 5alood from his seat. He adorably reached out for me; I love those kids as if they were my own, 7asafa wallah tkoon hathi umhum... I picked him up hugging and kissing him ;*
I took faroo7a by her hand and we walked to my grandma's, I parked a bit far. As we reached the door, I definitely saw it, and HIM. There, a little farther, was the black porsche. The sun was at an angle that made the windows see-through just enough to see a shape inside. I wouldn't mistake that shape; the broad shoulders, nazfat il '3itra... My heart thumped as hard as it had ever done, I was afraid it would come right out of my chest. My breathing was heavy, I was afraid of dropping 5alid. I quickened my steps, I just wanted to get past that door. I got closer to the house, and I broke into a sprint. In a few seconds, I was inside. But.. he didn't as much as open his car door. Umm.. Did I just make a fool of myself, sprinting faj2a chinni dasha the olympics? I peeked through the door; he was still there. Was I hallucinating or something? Yimkin its someone else, ya3ni shino mako a7ad '3aira with broad shoulders? A9lan why would he stalk me that way? It must be a weird coincidence with that car... T3awatht min ishai6an, and went inside the house to greet the ppl that I hated so much..
