After two hours of torture with the photographer we could barely understand, we could finally sneak out of our own milka. I laughed as I quietly put on leggings and a shirt Anoud brought to me secretly, and I took off the gazillion pins in my hair. I thank god that I went for simple make up, or I would've been in trouble by now.
I slipped on el3baya, and I went out the door quietly and into Faisal's car. I gasped, as if he couldn't get any better or more perfect, he had to drive an Aston Martin One-77. I'm a girl who has a thing for sport's cars, and Aston Martin happens to be my dream car.
Faisal: 3jbtik elsyara?
I nodded with my mouth still hanging open. I didn't know what to say, I probably look like an idiot. Faisal's laugh interrupted my staring. I quickly went into his car. When he came in, his hand stretched out to hold mine like an automatic reflex. I wanted to say something romantic to him, after a few minutes of squeezing my brain for anything I realized that I have nothing to say.
Faisal: Am I going too fast?
His question was sudden and it threw me off track. I gave him a look and saw that he looked really worried about this so I smiled and said.
Maha: No, everything is perfect.
The car stopped, and I immediately knew where we were. We were 3ind the cliff ely 3ind eljsr elmo3la8. (okay so eljsr elmo3la8 is basically a bridge in Riya9', Saudi which has no pillars from under y3ny malh 8a3eda. It's verrrrry scary, but can be verrry romantic as well.)
Maha: Faisal, leeh jbtny hena?
I was shaking from how scared I was, my fear of heights kicked in, and I could only think of 'oh my god! I don't want to die on the night of my milka.' Faisal opened my car door, took off my seat belt, and took my hands into his.
Faisal: 6l3ty 5wafa ajl?
Maha: ana? 5wafa? Laaaaaa 6b3n bes eljsr malh 8a3eda! lw 6a7?
Faisal: eljsr 9arlh fo8 el7 sneen wagf by6e7 elyom?
Maha: Faisal not funny walla eny 3la a39aby.
Faisal: calm down! I won't let anything happen to you.
Maha: okaaaay.
Faisal: yallaa take a breath.
I inhaled and exhaled a few times with my eyes closed, and when I opened them I saw Faisal looking up at me with a weird smile. I blushed instantly and looked at our hands.
Maha: what?
Faisal: nothing.
Maha: well there has to be something you're staring at my face.
Faisal: well it is a very beautiful face so I hope you don't mind me staring Mrs.Faisal Alx.
Maha: I don't mind at all, kind sir, but I'm not sure how my husband would react.
Faisal: you're married?
Maha: yes, I am!
I waved my engagement, and wedding rings in his face.
Faisal: well, I suppose a beautiful girl like you wouldn't be available. Your husband is a very lucky man.
Maha: I'm a very lucky woman too.
Fj2a he took my left hand and kissed my ring finger. Galby, this guy will kill me. I didn't think I could blush any harder, but apparently I could.
Maha: this is so so fairytale like.
Faisal: fairytale?
Maha: yes, you are my fairytale. You're my dream when I'm not sleeping, and I never thought ena this could actually happen.
Faisal: adry I'm ruining the moment, but this is the second most romantic thing you said to me, after confessing your love.
He smiled a huge smile and his face would've split into half if I didn't ruin our romantic moment.
Maha: urm, Faisal?
Faisal: 3yon Faisal.
Maha: ay a7d y8dr yshofna tra?
Faisal: 6yb w i4a?
Maha: w esh ygolon 3na?
Faisal: zojty, w kaify 7laly. B3den shayfa a7d hena 3'erna? It's too dark anyway.
My stomach growled and Faisal laughed loudly.
Faisal: 7bebty jo3ana?
I was so embarrassed, god. I just nodded, and smiled a shyly.
Faisal: it's a good thing ena I packed a picnic!
Maha: jbt a picnic? I haven't done that in years! Bsr3a bsr3a.
Faisal: a7s ena I've been dumped for a picnic.
Maha: awww 7bebi y3'ar?
Faisal: I'm heartbroken. You should do something about it.
Maha: mithel?
Faisal: kiss my wounds.
Maha: ha ha ha, yalla ya baby bring me my food!
Faisal: you and your food.
As he reached back and brought the food he packed, he hit his chin on the seat.
Faisal: a77!
Maha: t3wrt?
Faisal: ee!
Maha: bsr3a 5leni ashof.
He had his chin out so I could see, and I gently rubbed it with my fingers, and then I gave it a light kiss. I could feel his smile reaching his ears.
Faisal: I think you missed a spot. Shofy hina y3wr b3d.
He pointed at his lips, and I laughed. Nop there was no way I was doing that!
Maha: no way, baby. E7md rabik 3la ely jak w ent sakit.
We had the most romantic night ever! He was so considering and thoughtful, and honestly I couldn't wait till we have our wedding. I shut my bedroom door and leaned on it thinking about him, and a dreamy sigh came out of my mouth. That's when it hit me that Anoud was sitting on my bed.
Maha: besmallah min ween jety enty?
Anoud: I never went home, jlst ant9'rik. Sooooo golely esh swaito?
Maha: malik d5l! Some things are meant to be private.
Anoud: You're no fun! Yalla 3ad mahoy!
Maha: Nop no way!
She kept pestering me for what we did while I changed into my PJs, and I kept refusing to tell her.
Maha: yallaa scoot I want to sleep.
Anoud: efff goodnight bride.
Maha: goodnight znana! (Elzan zy el7an blkuwaity it's when someone nags)
I heard her huff and puff while I smiled and drifted to dreamland.

My phone was ringing while I was working on my achievement board, and it was giving me a serious headache. I looked at the caller ID and it was Faisal, so I automatically answered.
Maha: Hala 7beby!
I know I'm finally getting better with this romance thing, 9arlna mitmalken exactly 3 days and they have been more than amazing.
Faisal: Hey babe..
Faisal's tone was sad, worried, and mad all at once. I had a gut feeling that something was wrong, terribly wrong.
Maha: 7yati, you ok?
Faisal: I'm not ok, at all.
Maha: leh? Esh 9ar
Faisal: klamony w galo ena lazim aro7 as soon as possible.
Maha: tro7 ween?
Faisal: aro7 elmkan ely feh the assignment.
Maha: bes it's too early! You said you're staying till after I left.
Faisal: I know 7bebty I thought I was staying for another month, but there is an emergency.
Maha: when are you leaving?
Faisal: la t9e7en, 3shany.
Maha: mita btro7, Faisal?
Faisal: elsa3a 5 elfjr I'll be blbase.
I looked at the clock and it said: 10:00 PM
Maha: that's in 7 hours!
Faisal: ee..
Maha: w lazim t6l3 gblha bSa3ten bcause el6reg 6weel.. Which means we only have 5 hours.
Faisal: hamburgers, and fries?
Maha: yes, please.
Faisal: I'll be there in 10.
Maha: the food usually takes 20 minutes bElevation..
Faisal: I know, bes I already ordered and I'm on my way to your house.
Maha: wsh drak eny bgolik u can come?
Faisal: I know you too well. A7bik, bye.
Maha: Love you too!
I hung up with a sad smile, and just then Anoud came into the room.
Maha: you have the weirdest timings!
Anoud: do you want me to come back later?
Maha: yes, please!
Anoud: whyyyyyy?
I laughed at her heartbroken and sad expression, my bestfriend is a drama queen.
Maha: Faisal's coming, and guess what!
Anoud: what?
Maha: he's leaving for his assignment in 5 hours.
I almost burst into tears; it was hard enough for me to accept his job, so now since I have to accept the fact that he's going to god knows where and till god knows when is going to drive me crazy. Anoud's skinny arms were wrapped around me tightly, and that just made my eyes water even more.
Anoud: look at the bright side, he's going to war! So there won't be any pretty women for him to see.
I laughed at Anoud's weird sense of humour, and told her to go away. Just then the bell rang and I went to open the door. Faisal d5l, and I took his hand and then took him llMjls el5arejy. What? I didn't want anyone going in on us! My phone beeped saying that I got a msg.
Anoud: 'Don't do anything R rated. We don't want him to leave you sad, and pregnant! xx'
I laughed and blushed and her txt; she's a weirdo.
Faisal: men kan sbab el9'i7ka ha4y?
Maha: 3noud was being 3noud.
Faisal: ya 7lelha..
We talked, joked around, and fooled around for hours, until it hit us that it was 1 AM and Faisal had to leave to the base soon. I hugged him really tight, and he broke us apart to give me a very proper kiss. (I am not going to describe in details bcause I have very young readers w tbh ast7yyy :$)
Later that night I ended up laying on my bed, with my head on Anoud's lap and crying till I fell asleep. You may say I was being too dramatical, but something inside me gave me a bad feeling about this.

September:
It's been a month since Faisal left for his assignment, he calls me everyday and we talk about each other's days. Some days he stays longer than others, other days he only calls to say that he loves me. I miss him too much.
October:
Faisal's phone calls have gotten less, he calls every 2 days now. That's okay though, I know he's really busy. It's only been two months but I have been going crazy. He txts me on the days he doesn't call me on.
November:
I met a really cute Kuwaiti guy in class the other day, and we got a long really well. He just transferred from D.C, and I'm showing him around. Faisal only calls me 3 times a week now, and it's been getting harder every day for us. I miss his voice, his laugh, and how romantic he was. Whenever he calls me now it seems like he's always tired, or in pain. I'm really worried about him.
December:
It's been 4 months since he's been gone, and it just keeps getting harder bcause we keep losing touch. He only calls twice a week now, and he's always in a hurry. I am really worried about him. My relationship with S3oud, that Kuwaiti guy, is getting better; we're really close now. I feel guilty about my friendship with him, bcause when I'm with him I forget about Faisal. The good thing is I'm going home for winter break in less than week. I just hope Faisal is coming back soon, he says he doesn't know when will the assignment finish.
January:
A new year has started, and it's been 5 months since Faisal went away, and 1 month since he last called, or texted me. He hasn't called or texted his family either. 3mi Mit3eb went to the base to ask about him, if something had happened to him. I'm really worried right now; I haven't eaten in days. I look like a mess too, and Anoud says that he's okay but my gut says otherwise.
February:
Faisal's birthday is tomorrow and if he was home we would've celebrated it together. It's been 2 months since I last heard his voice; crying myself to sleep is part of my routine now. The base says they have filed a missing person's report, but sadly they haven't heard anything yet. There are many possibilities of where he might be. S3oud has been amazing these past couple of months; he has helped me a lot. I don't know what would I have done without him.
