Previously:

I looked up and Turki had both my hands in his, and he gently spread my palms, and he pressed a kiss on  the inside of my hands. I blushed obviously, but from the inside I was soaring. He brushed his lips against my forehead, and dropped my hands. They felt cold instantly, and I felt a stab to my heart when I realised that all that was an act.

I walked down the streets with millions of shopping bags on my arms. I was dead tired, and so hungry. I just needed to sit down and eat, and it was getting chilly and I needed a jacket to keep me warm.

Noura: haa 3noud mama j3ty?

Anoud: ee wallaa mama mrra. Fe gahwa gdam tben njls feha wla wdk bM63m?

Noura: dam ma bga shy w yji elLeel m63m a7sn, w nklm 3mik w Turki yjon. Bes awl abi njls ana w enti bGahwa.

I nodded, but I felt nervous. Why would my mother in law want to talk to me alone? It's not the first time she does, bes y3ny. I should stop over thinking and looking nervous; this way r7 tshik ena feni shy.

A few hours later I was finally home. I was so tired, but I needed fresh air. I couldn't stop thinking about my conversation with 5alty. She's making me doubt everything. I changed into comfortable clothes, and went down the building, and just stood there. After half an hour of sitting alone, and thinking about how my life is going to turn out without Turki. 


(The parts in italics are 3noud remembering what happened in the restaurant.) 

Noura: at4kr lma Turki estw3b ena y7bkk.

I was shocked, his mom knew? 

Anoud: galik? 
Noura: a9ln ma estw3b ela lma ana gltla.
Anoud: shlon? 
Noura: he was 15 at the time, lw eny ay om thanya kan glt bzr esh r7 yfhmh bl7ob w 4al ashya2. Jaa w jls 3ndy on the couch. Knto wgtaha msafren enti w ahlik 3shan 3laj obok. W kan awl mrra tsafron bdona, w 6wlto.

Noura: ee, bes kan fe sh59 thani myt ybek trj3en, 5leny akml. Jaa w jls jmbi w 7a6 ras'h on my lap w gali:
Turki: mama mta trj3 3noud?
Noura: mdri 7beby, meta ma 6ab oboha. 
Turki: bt6wl? 
Noura: wallaa, ma ndry. 
Turki: 6yb.
Noura: leh? eshtagtlha?
Turki: ee mama, I miss her.
Noura: mshtaglha wla mshtag t'hbl feha?
Turki: laa mama bdet a7s eni mjnon.
Noura: leeh ya mama?

Anoud: la79't..
Noura: ma wgft elsalfa 3la ki4a. Lma kbr w jaa bro7 eljam3a, 9ar lna nfs elklam. Gali la tn56b 3noud, ma ar9'a. Ana 9'7kt, esh bydi aswy lw en56bty? S2lta leeh ma tby 3noud tn56b? Rj3 7kali eli y7s feh w s2lni mrra thanya: am I crazy? w I gave him the simplest answer that summerized everything: no you're in love.

Have I done the right thing by letting him go? Did I lose my happiness by losing him? Am I going to be okay? Can I love someone else?

All those thoughts were interrupted by the sound of footsteps coming next to me. I turned around, and no surprise there it was Turki.

Turki: brd.
Anoud: I can feel that.
Turki: leh mo lbsa?
Anoud: leh yhmk?
Turki: 3noud 3nadk mar7 yfed.

He took out a cigarette from a pack, and put it in his mouth. I gave him a look, that clearly said: again?

Turki: wsho?
Anoud: al7en 5ayf 3ly mn hwa, bes mo 5ayf 3la nfsik min ha4a and it can kill you? God, you're so stupid.

I gave him my back, and started rubbing my arms. He was right, it is cold. I wasn't cold for long though, because he put his jacket on my shoulders. Why does he do these things? He makes it so hard for me to hate him, not that I ever thought that I could.

Anoud: when will you ever quit this addiction?

I finally said something after a few minutes of silence, and I pointed at the cigarette between his lips.

Turki: I'm addicted to you. The minute I realised that you're the one my whole universe was based on you. You changed all my life, and you became my ultimate goal. So please, don't run away with my heart.

The moment I realised what he said; I reacted in such a typical Anoud way. I took out the cigarette from his mouth, and threw it on the ground and stepped on it. I came close to him, and whispered in his ear.

Anoud: then please, stay away from me.

I ran into the apartment, and went into his room. I sat on the couch, and buried my face in between the pillows, how do I run away now? I felt like I was sitting on something, and I looked down and it was a notebook. I knew I probably shouldn't snoop, but I couldn't help myself. I looked through it, and it had writings; in both languages. I've always known that Turki is an artistic guy, but I didn't know he wrote too. A poem titled by name grabbed my attention.

جيت اكتب عنك يا عنود و لكن بعد معاناة بوصفك؟ علمت إنك إنسانة لا توصفي.. علمت بأنك فعلا عنود عندما اريتني عنادك 

الذي جعلني انحني إلى ركبتي من أجلك يا بنت فهد.. أقولها لك و بكل فخر يا عنود انك المرأة الأجمل التي رأيتها في .حياتي.. اخرجي يا شيخة البنات و ليحرسك خالق المستحيلات

I closed the book 3la 6ol. What was I doing to myself? I'm in love with him, why can't I just live with that? I don't deserve him, he deserves much better. 

I changed into my pyjamas, and laid down on the couch. Turki came into the room and went to the bathroom. He showered and put on sweats and a shirt. To distract myself from staring at him, I started reading a book. He put on his glasses, opened his laptop, and started working. Why must he look so good? Why am I thinking this way?

I was almost asleep, when 5alti went into the room, and I panicked. Oh god she saw me sleeping on the couch. She gave me a look, and then went directly to Turki. 

Noura: Turki, fe re7a 3'reba fl3'orfa momkin tji tshof?

The next morning I woke up, and found that Turki has made his bed and left already. I had a horrible headache, so I decided to shower. I picked up my towel and stuff, before I went into the bathroom my phone started ringing, so I put down the stuff on the chair, and answered it. 

Anoud: MAHA!

Maha: 3NOUD!

Anoud: keefikk w keef Reemo?

Maha: we're good! Ento kefkm yalga63en?

Anoud: we're good. 

Maha: weenk?

Anoud: apartment? 

Maha: Mommy&Daddy ruined the honeymoon ajwa2?

Anoud: ay honeymoon ajwa2 ya mama 9arlna 2 years mtzawjen!

Maha: 7bebti elajwa2 ma tro7 ya mama, especially blromantic european weather! 

I laughed, and we continued our talking and I went into the bathroom and locked the door behind me. 

I finished my shower, and I started looking for my towel and stuff, but I couldn't find them. Yarabih, esh aswy? I opened the bathroom door, just a crack and I looked into the room. It was empty, good. Yallaa, ymdeni a6l3.

I opened the door and went out; the bedroom door opened and Turki went into the room. I stood there naked as the day I was born, and in front of him. I slapped my hand over my face, and I shut the door with force. I wanted to cry from embarrassment. 

I heard knocks on the door. 

Anoud: n3m?

Turki: 5o4i eltowel wl ashya2 min 3nd elbab. Ana ermm b6l3. 

I thanked him silently, but I still felt like I wanted to cry. I touched my cheeks and they were burning. 

After I was dressed, I went out into the kitchen and started looking for eggs to cook, the minute I closed the fridge's door. I turned around, and hit Turki's chest. I looked down, and blushed even more. He put his fingers under my chin, and lifted my face.

Turki: leh mst7ya mni?

He was whispering against my lips. I felt as if my cheeks were on fire. 

Anoud: 3shan 3eb.

Turki: you're beautiful. Don't ever doubt it.

When he was just about to kiss me, his father went into the kitchen.
