This post is dedicated to everyone who supported me, and respected my circumstances<3 Longest chapter I've ever posted :p

Enjoy!

I picked up a few files that Turki left laying around the table and lifted them above on his shelf. The sleeves of my shirt fell and the bruise I had from the guy who sat next to me on the plane. 

Turki: 3noud esh ha4a?

I turned around and quickly tried to hide my arms with my sleeves.

Anoud: wsho?

Turki: ely fe ydik esh. 

He was talking through his teeth. I was getting really scared of him.

Anoud: 5la9 Turki ma tswa.

Turki: wreny ydik, al7een.

I was too scared to argue so I gave him my arm. He saw the bruise on my wrist and I could feel him getting angerier; I was really scared that he might do something to me. 

Turki: k*lb. 7m*r. Mfro9' rbet'h yom kan gdamy! 

He lifted his hand and I closed my eyes thinking that he was going to hit me. He smacked his fist into a glass table breaking it to bits and pieces. Then he did something I never thought he'd do, he started moving his fingers over my bruise in a way that made me have goosebumps everywhere in my body. 

Anoud: Turki, stop. Your fingers are bleeding. 3adi bes ashofhm?

Turki: ma y3wr.

Anoud: al7en ent y7glik t39b w tswy drama 3shan a bruise, but I can't worry bcuz your fist is covered in blood? Please Turki. Wallaa lazim nwgf elbleeding. 

He relaxed his fist and I took hold of it. I examined it carefully. I started taking care of the cuts, and wrapped his fist when I was done. 

Anoud: all done, shft easy.

Turki: very easy. 

Anoud: why the sad face? Smile you grump.

Turki: y3wr.

Anoud: awww little baby wants me to kiss his little bobo? 

Turki gave me a sad puppy face and nodded. I laughed and pushed him away.

After I packed the last box I had to pack before leaving. I went down to the kitchen to get some water since I was so tired. I really really wanted some food, but I have to wait till Turki comes back. I was so hungry ma aklt mn el9b7 w it's only 2 now. W tdron esh mshtahya? Mshtahya japanese food especially the soup ely fe Tokyo. [m7d jals ytshahwa abd:p] Even though we were staying at his at his parents' house, it always felt like surreal. He has been very understanding about sleeping in the couch in our living room. We were leaving to Germany in a week, but I so didn't want to bcuz that means I won't be here for Maha's baby's birth. Thank god Ghada looks like she's going to pop the baby out sometime soon. While going out of the kitchen I saw Maha sitting on the couch. I ran up to her and hugged her so tight, even though everything is still the same I feel like I miss her so much! Ever since she got married and pregnant she got busy with her own life, but we're still closer than ever. I sat on the couch with her and we started talking about everything. I was sitting sideways on the couch and I was talking to Maha excitedly about the internship I got in a law firm in Munich. Fj2a I felt a kiss on my cheek and temple; I blushed so bad and it was kind of awkward. W 6b3n kl3ada, I turned into a tomato. 

Maha: your cheeks are on fire.

Anoud: maha esktyyy!

Turki: t9dgeni lw agolik I missed you? 

Then he hung his arm around my shoulder. 

Anoud: twik shayfny! Gbl sa3h aw a8l! 

Maha: 5aleh yshtag elzojta, y7gelaah.

Turki: 9adga e5tyyy.

Anoud: ana ma adri leh enty ma tkrmena eb skotik mahouy.

Maha: lw sm7ty ana 7amil ra3y msha3ri! 

I stuck my tongue out to her, and she stuck her tongue out to me. We're such kids ma a9dg. 

Turki: okay babez shraykm tgomon w tlbson 3bayatkm? 

Anoud: weeen? 

I got so excited when he said that we're going out. It's been a while since I went out, and with Maha being heavy now we don't go out as much. Plus, all my friends are family seem so far away now. 

Turki: surprise. 

Maha: ro7o ento! Ana maly 5ilg abd.

Anoud: laaa mahoy please t3aly! Zman ma 6l3na m3 b39' I miss you! 

I was mostly saying all that bcuz I really wanted to go out, but I didn't want to be alone with Turki. 

Turki: la btjen yalla bsr3a e5l9o! 

Anoud: 6yb esh albs? 

I looked down at my leggings and shirt and felt kind of under-dressed. 

Turki: laa t3'yren ki4a bes elbsy 3baytik. 

Anoud: ok! 

I brought my bag and 3abaya and put them on. Today Mama Noura's (Turki's mom) sisters all came over with their kids and grand-kids. I passed by the playroom where all kids were and stopped to say hi. 

Anoud: haa keefkm?

Baby Sara: auntie nouda auntie nouda see I draw this! 

Anoud: allaaah. Who drew this on your face? 

Sara: Auntie Maha! 

I smiled and pointed at my cheek which meant 'give me a kiss.' 

Sara: amwah. I loove you auntie noudaa 

Anoud: show me how much you love me. 

Sara: I love you more than uncle turki loves you. 

I blushed and she gave me one more kiss on the cheek before I left. I reached the living room and stood next to Turki.

Anoud: yallaa I'm ready

Turki: weenik t25rti?

Anoud I stopped by the kids to see what they were doing. 

Turki: fe shay hena.

He pointed at my cheek, and I started rubbing then he laughed and brought a wet napkin and started wiping it gently. I was blushing so much, and I could feel Maha's eyes burning into my back. He wiped my cheek, and my chin and my lower lip. Just when I thought that he's going to go crazy and kiss me in the middle of the living room Mama Noura came in. We jumped away from each other like we're on fire. Sh*t sh*t, what on earth was that? I don't think that was bcuz Maha was looking. I was just over thinking. Calm down Anoud and focus on what she's saying. 

Noura: 3la ween?

Turki: bwdy Mahoy w 3noud mkan.

Noura: ro7 ent w 3noud l7alkm 6yb. Leh tnglon e5tik m3km?

Anoud: laa 5alty ana abeha min zmaan ma shftaha w wallaa mrra mshtagtlha w ma bga shay w nro7. 

Noura: km mrra gltlik ma3d tnadeni 5alty w tnadeny Mama! 

Anoud: asfaaa ya b3dyy entyy enshallah Mama. 

I loved 5alty so much, el7amdellah I was so blessed with her as my mother in law.

Noura: zeen ajl bes la t6wlon. 

Turki: enshallah yal3'alyah.

He kissed her forehead and hand while I had my aww moment. When we were in the car 6b3n being the kid I am I called shot gun first, and Maha sat at the back. 

Anoud: Tuuurkkiiiii!

I don't know what came over me. 

Turki: glb Turki entyy smii shb3'ety? 

Maha: ollaaaah mashallah toff toff toff. Wsh 4alt6wor! 

I kept quiet, and I was so shy for some reason. I should know eno this is all him acting, and my god he is so good. 

Turki: shfek 3nouda?

Maha: 5leha mst7yaa. 

Turki: entyy leeh ki4a 7rsh?!

Maha: keefyyy keefyy. 

He was acting so weird! After Maha and Turki's childish fight we all went silent. 

6b3n shwari3 madenat elriya9' aljamelah klha m6bat mrra more7a elm6bat. 

Maha: shwy shwy! Are you trying to kill my baby? 

Turki: ana ely mswy elshari3 mthln? I'm trying not to bes it's not my fault. 

Anoud: it would be more likely eno we'd kill you not the baby.

Turki: 3ad ana jals ant9'r your baby 3la a7r mn jmr. 

Maha: klab. Oops g9dy clowns.

Anoud: what?

Maha: y3ny 3ady ana amot? 

Anoud: akeed.

Maha: Tuuurkiiii shf zojtik.

Turki: wsh swt?

Maha: 3la eny ashek enk momkin t'hz2haa.

Turki: mosta7eeel ahz2ha. 

Maha: adry 3shan ki4a malh da3y ashke lik. M5rfntik 9a7 elo5t. 

I smiled at her, she really was clueless. 

Maha: y3ny 3ady amot?

Anoud&Turki: ahm shy elbaby.

She covered the sides of her stomach with her palms and whispered:

Maha: I hate you both!

I laughed loudly. 

Anoud: what on earth are you doing? 

Maha: mabi elbaby ysm3 klam mo kwys.

Anoud: whateverrr. Ana 6fsht, meta no9al? A9ln ween jals twdena?

Turki: here we are! W9lnaa. We arrived at Tokyo, and I swear my smile reached my ears.

Anoud: allaaah k2nik dary eno knt mshtetah! 

I completely lost myself for a second, and then I hugged Turki and gave him a kiss on the cheek. I pulled back 3la 6ol. The hell was wrong with me? I blushed. 

Turki: agraa afkarik. 

Maha: yallaah e5l9o ana jo3ana. 

Anoud: tt4kren ayam yom knty barbie w blyallah taklen? 

Maha: w ana al7en esh? 

Anoud: barney daymn taklen. 

Maha: byji dorik ya 3noud w bswy feki ely asw2 e9bri 3ly bes. 

We went inside and they guided us to a table. We sat down and like an automatic reflex Turki pulled out my hand and put it in his. I felt awkward bes 5la9 t3wdt, acting in front of his family became so natural to us. 

Waiter: hello good evening sir and madame. Allow me to say that you are a very cute couple.

Turki: uuhh thank you! 

Maha: eeh w ana wljdar wa7d, 9a7?

I laughed at Maha's huffing and puffing, and Turki looked like he wanted to laugh to me but he had to look serious. 

Turki: I'll have the... 

An hour later we were finally done eating and we had a really good time. We went back home and the minute we entered Mama Noura came to us. 

Noura: haa enbs6to? 

Anoud: ee wallaa mrra! Leetik jeety m3na Mama. 

Noura: enshallah eljayat akthr 7bebty. Esm3o 5lekm jahzen b3d elm3'rb bnro7 llestra7a! 

Turki: kelna?

Noura: ee bnjtm3 m3 ahl 3noud 3shan nshofkm gbl la tsafron.

I was sitting on the couch in mine and Turki's suite at his parent's house and reading my book. I was so into it when suddenly I hear Turki's foot steps on the floor, and I look up at him. The way he looked made me put down my book and talk in my lowest voice.

Anoud: hi?

He looked angry, why is he angry? I though about everything I did in the past 48 hours, nop nothing that might make him angry. He kicked off his shoes, and went inside the bathroom to change. Mo 3wayd Turki he kicks off his shoes; he's such a neat guy. Klshy is always in its place with him. I really hope everything is fine. I decided that I'll go on reading until he comes out of the bathroom. 

Half an hour later, he came out and he still looked pissed. He layed down on the couch and put his head on my lap and I went stiff. What on earth was happening here? I decided not to move or do anything until he showed what kind of mood he was in.

Turki: we're leaving next week, t2kdi ena kl ashya2ik m3k.

I gasped, what? Esh ely next week? La ya 7abeby any a79'r weldat Ghada w Maha. 

Turki: w 3noud la tna8sheni. 

Anoud: 6yb momkin tgoli what's wrong?

Turki: please.

Anoud: shof ana fahmaa eno zwajna 3al warag bes, bes ha4a mo m3ntah lazim n3amel b39' k2nena a3da2 wla mdri shlon. We can be friends tra, 3ady.

He let out a huge breath, maybe I shouldn't have said what I said? I don't know why I said it a9ln. I guess 7seet ena fen shy w ma kint abeh y7s eno he's alone. So, I did the only thing I could do, I kept quiet and played with his very short hair until he fell asleep.

Anoud: Turki lw sm7t! Ma aby mnik shy bes ha4a elshy elwa7ed ely gd 6lbt'h mnik. 

Turki: ma agdr! 

Anoud: please, Turki! It's Maha w Ghada's first baby! E7na dwamna ma ybda ela b3d thlath sh'hor, lesh nro7 nrtz gbl? A3'ra9'na w rslnahm! Apartment w 3ndna y3ny klshy is set el7amdelilah.

Turki: 3noud.

Anoud: Turki lw sm7t! Y3ny ma tby tshof Maha's baby? 7taa Ghada e5ti ma wldt yet.

Turki: 5la9 okay.

Anoud: thank you thank you thank you thank you!

I jumped up and down, and bcuz I wasn't thinking I gave him the tightest hug ever. I blushed, and then I let go immediately when I heard his laugh.

Turki: ma benna! 

I blushed even more, and slapped myself mentally so many times. Why do I put myself in those situations? Akrh nafsy lma akon 3'bya. I called Maha to tell her the news. 

Maha: hala!
Anoud: ahleen, haa wldty?
Maha: lw eny wldt kan mo jalsa akalmek b3den tawna bdry!
Anoud: walla a7s kna 9arlik sana 7amil. Yalla 3ad jeby baby 3noud.

Anoud: ee enshalllah! Marra mt7amsa.
Maha: haa did Ghada pop the kid yet?

It was 5 AM in the morning and Faisal just called to tell me that Maha just gave birth to a healthy baby girl named Reem, but they had to put her in the ICU bcuz she was born 2 months early.  I was so happy that I forgot what time it was and ran to the couch to wake up Turki. 

Anoud: Turki! Turki! 

Turki: huh? Esh fy?

Anoud: Maha!

Turki: esh feha Maha? 9arlha shy?

Anoud: laa2 wldt! 

Turki: esh jabt? 

Anoud: bint. 

Turki: isn't it too early?

Anoud: ela 7a6o elbaby bl ICU. 

Turki: is she healthy?

Anoud: ee el7amdelilah bed she was born early that's why.

Turki: esh samoha? 

Anoud: Reem.

Turki: jamil elesm. Yalla ro7y namy w bokra nro7 nshofha mn 9b7 rabi.

Anoud: okay!

I was so excited I didn't care what he told me as long as he promises that I get to see her. 

Turki: oh, w 3noud?

Anoud: hala?

Turki: sexy shorts. 

Sh*t, nseet I was wearing my PJs.

~

Turki: 3noud ba3ed l7dt el5 if you're not ready I'm leaving without you! 

Anoud: 5l9t 5l9t! I'm here. 

Turki: el7amil 5l9t gblik.

Anoud: she's pregnant, everything looks cuter with a baby bump.

Turki: moshkiltik thee 3ad, tben t7mlen? It's not much work.

Anoud: we3 pervert.

I said while laughing and punching his shoulder. 

A while later we got to the hospital, and Maha was sleeping on the bed. I tried being so quiet while coming in, and told Turki to keep quiet too. Maha was asleep with the cutest and tiniest creature on her chest ever. Faisal was sleeping right on the plastic chairs next to them.

Anoud: awww. That's so cute. 

Turki: maybe we should come back later?

We both felt like we were intruding on a very close family moment.

Anoud: ewa ymkin a7sn.

Maha: no no don't go, t3alo shufo. 

Anoud: 97eenak?

Maha: la t5afon ma kint nayma a9ln. I was just resting my eyes shwy.

I smiled at Maha, and went closer to her. I kissed her forehead and cheek and stared at the baby. 

Anoud: smellah 3aleha. Mashallah, Maha she's so pretty.

Maha: She's just perfect, isn't she?

Anoud: yes, she is.

I stared at Maha, Faisal, and Reem. They were the perfect little family mashallah, and I felt a stab come through my heart when I realised I may not be having the same thing. I felt so happy for Maha though. 

Turki: 3adi ashelha?

I turned around and gave him a shocked look. It never occurred to me that he might like kids, but seeing him holding baby Reem made me see that. 

Maha: tben tshelnha, 3noud?

Anoud: laa ma3rf. 

Maha: elaa sheeleha. 

I carefully took baby Reem and held her close to me. I was carrying a day old baby in my arms, and it felt so good. Turki put his arm around me, and in that moment I had so many emotions going through me and it scared me to no end.

To be continued…
