Previously:

He was pissed, I can tell. But why? Because I cut my hair? As if he cared y3nii. My eyes were gleaming with tears. And just when I was about to say something he cut me off. 

Turki: 6yb laish ma glteely 3la al a8l?? Uhh.. uhh mo ga9di ena shain bes.. kan glteely enik btg9eena mo..

I started crying. I cried because he hated it, and I cried because he had the decency to judge me about cutting my hair while he had a woman in our apartment. 

I ran to my room and closed the door with force.

I got so mad at Turki; I mean who does he think he is? What's in it for him? As if he cares a9ln. I laid down on my bed; my tears were blurring my vision. God, why can't I stop crying?

I heard a soft knock on the door.

Turki:  3noud, eft7i elbab! Please..

Yeah, as if I'd answer you.

Another knock.

Turki: 3noudii, asef 3la my reaction. I know I was so stupid, bes en9dmt! E34ereny, ana asef 3noudi.

His voice is so soft and sad; I was almost caving to his requests, but the image of him smiling to that blonde kept repeating itself in my head.

He knocks for the third time.

Turki: 6b bes rdi 3ly?

Your apology is not needed nor wanted. God, why is him being with that blonde hurting me so much?

Fourth knock. I don't think I can bear another minute of his sad tone.

Turki: ana f3'orfty e4a b3'ety shy, t9b7en 3la 5eer!

Thank god, I was almost going to cave if he had insisted another time. I heard the sound of his footsteps fading. I couldn't stop thinking about Waleed, for some reason seeing Turki with this blonde reminded me of what a lie this marriage and life is. I slapped my forehead so many times for rejecting Waleed, now that it hit me how much I miss him. I couldn't take it anymore, I dm-ed him on twitter.

(I made up those usernames, fa they're fake.)

@Anoud_AA:
Hi?

I didn't even have to wait a full minute for him to reply.

@WaleedFK:
Hala :o!

Am I sure about this? Yes, yes! I have to be. It's the the only reason I even agreed to marrying Turki.

@Anoud_AA:
I need to talk to you, and it's too serious for DMs. So would u call or whatsapp me?

@WaleedFK:
Sure, send me ur number.

He replies so fast, and it helps bcuz I don't have to worry so much.

@Anoud_AA:
+49***********

I took a few deep breaths, and waited for his call. He rang, and I stared at his number for a few seconds. I should answer. I took another deep breath, and answered.

Waleed: alo?
Anoud: hala..

My voice was low, and soft. My heart was going into overdrive.

Waleed: ahlan w sahlan!

His deep voice traveled to my very core. God, I missed his voice so much.

Waleed: urmm.. 3nouda, tw83tik krhteni w glti enik mtzwja? What changed ur mind?
Anoud: Waleed.. I.. I.. Ana lazm agolik shy. Esm3ni zain, 6yb?

I have to tell him everything, I had no idea from where should I start. My tone was serious and it was obvious that the subject was important.

Waleed: goolely?

His tone was soft and caring, my heart instantly melted. What is this guy doing to me?

Anoud: shoof Waleed ana...

I told him everything about my marriage to Turki. I said it all in one breath, and I was almost panicking bcuz I thought that he'd reject me.

Waleed: 3nouda..

He said in the same heart-melting tone.

Anoud: hala?

I was blushing.

Waleed: 7bbty adry enik m39ba 3la ely sweta bes tra I loved you from day one and I never stopped. I said those things before bcuz I wanted a reaction from you. Adry eny lw ajls a3te4r min elyom lbokraa momkin lsa ma tsam7eni. Ana mst3d aswy klshy bes allah y3afek sam7eni!

He said everything I wanted him to say. Now I know that this marriage wasn't the worst choice of my life after all. Waleed, was everything I hoped and more.

Anoud: Waleed, ana msam7tk.
Waleed: 9dg?
Anoud: ee.
Waleed: I love you, wallaa I love you!

I laughed a shy small laugh. Gosh, why wasn't I married to Waleed?

Anoud: 6b Waleed esh bnswy? Ana lsa mtzwja Turki..
Waleed: shofy 7bebty lw t6lgti al7en byshkon elnas fa t7mleh shwy w b3den awl ma tet6lgen w t5l9 3detik ana b56bk.

I felt like I was souring on cloud9. He loved me! Me! I couldn't believe my eyes; it was really happening. I didn't realize that I didn't answer until he talked.

Waleed: haa galbe shglti?
Anoud: ee waleed, ee! I'd love to. You're the reason I faked the whole marriage a9ln. I never loved Turki; just you. It's always been you, and it always will be.

Something in me felt off when saying that. Like I was lying or something, I shrugged off the feeling and just focused on the high he gave me. He will marry me! I just have to wait till the right time. I can't wait.

Waleed: y3ny mwafga 7bbty?
Anoud: mwafga!

My smile was so huge it could've split my face into half.

Waleed: my wife to be ajl..
Anoud: hehe..

I was blushing so bad.

Waleed: w7shni ely yst7i..

I laughed another shy laugh.

Waleed: 6b galbe, bokra 3ndik jam3a?
Anoud: laa 3indy work.
Waleed: which firm?
Anoud: X & X & co.
Waleed: greeb mn elcampus.
Anoud: ee mrra!
Waleed: agdr ashofik?

I blushed at his question, can he? I mean it wouldn't be so bad. I do miss his face.

Anoud: ok, bes ween?
Waleed: fe this starbucks 3la elzawya gbl elfirm bshwy. Ma yjonh 3rb abd, so don't worry. Ashofik henak?
Anoud: 5laa9 6yb. Dwami ybda at 8 though, would u be awake before?
Waleed: a97a 3shanik..
Anoud: aww ure so cute. 9ayr romancy..
Waleed: a7d 3nda kl hlzeen wla y9eer romancy?

We talked a little bit more till I had to close the phone to get some sleep.

The next morning I woke up super early, even before the alarm. Weird, maybe bcuz I was so excited to see Waleed? I took a shower, and made sure my natural waves were in place. It felt so weird to have short hair.

I looked through my new wardrobe and decided since it's a sunny and bright day I want to wear something happy.

I went out of my room wearing a yellow maxi dress that stuck to my body nicely, it had a slit opening till my knees. I paired it with a denim vest, and I wore brown leather gladiator sandals. I put on my rings, and stacked some bracelets and bangles on my arms. I grabbed my bag, and I was almost out the door when I heard Turki calling my name.

Turki: 3noudi?
Anoud: n3m fe shy?
Turki: laa wla shy..
