Previously:

Anoud: I thought you said you were horrible with expressing emotions. 
Turki: does that mean I get a second chance? 
Anoud: what does a second chance mean?
Turki: shall we start all over?

I kept quiet for a long time and then I hung up.

~

I woke up the next morning with a huge smile painted on my face. Everytime I remember what Turki told me last night, my smile stretches wider. I barely got any sleep, but I'm high on excitement right now.

I tied my hair in a high ponytail, and wore my work clothes. I skipped down the stairs and I kissed my mom good morning.

Aljohara: wsh 3nda  el7lu mrwg elyom?
Anoud: lazm ya mama nrwg daym.
Aljohara: o7, wsh hlmzaj elraheb?
Anoud: sirrrrrr.
Aljohara: wallaaa amrk 3jeb!

I was working on a case when my phone rang it was Maha. Esh 3ndaha?

Maha: hello!
Anoud: hala?
Maha: sooo esh 3ndk?
Anoud: wla shy?
Maha: kwys! T3aleli after work. La tt25ren!

I was almost done with my work when my boss came in and I gave her smile.

Boss: hey, I have work for you.
Anoud: more work?
Boss: yeah, about 30 files.

My eyes went wide, more work? I'll be late and Maha will kill me. Yarabih.

File #1

I can do this it's easy.

File #7

My head is aching, I don't remember being a corporate lawyer being this hard. Numbers everywhere.

File #14

There's something wrong. Why aren't the numbers calculating?

File #28

Almost done. Maha will kill me I'm like 4 hours late.

File #30

Last one, finally.

I walked into Maha's house and I threw myself on the couch.

Anoud: MAHA! Weenk?

No response.

Anoud: hw Mahoy! Weenk ya bnt?

Still no response.

Anoud: tstahblen? Bro7  betna.

"I want to ask you to live life by my side. The best achievement of my life will be convincing you to be my wife. I want I need to be entirely mine. I am captured by your love, and I don't want to be rescued. If I was asked what a perfect life means I would say that it is one by your side. I get nervous when I see you; I get shivers when I hear your voice. Your presence tinkles my bones, and your eyes make me fall deeper in love with you every time. My heart grows restless for you, and only you. So, will you marry me?"

I was too shocked to speak. There was Turki on his knee and I was speechless. He proposed. To me. I felt tears well up in my eyes. My mixed emotions gave me millions of reasons why I should say yes and a million more on why I should say no.

Yes, because I'm in love with you.

No, because I don't deserve him.

Yes, because he's perfect.

No, because he should have better.

Yes, because he cares.

No, because I'm so so so so so stupid.

So I did what I know how to do best I ran away and left him.

I sat in Maha's garden and cried even more. If you asked me why I was crying, I wouldn't know how to answer because I seriously don't know why. Probably because of my mixed emotions? My stupid brain? I. Don't. Know.

Maha: what on earth was that?
Anoud: mdri.
Maha: wsho ely mdri?
Anoud: ma 2dri. Maha ma 2dri. I'm just confused, please. I just want to go home.
Maha: and do what? Cry some more? What more can the poor guy do?! 5la9! Stop being like this. God you guys love each other so much but you're too stubborn.
Anoud: please, Maha. I just want to go home.
Maha: go home and cry about your pathetic life some more. Gosh! Can you think?! Can you at least consider his f*cking feelings. 


Turki's P.O.V:

I left Maha's house in a rush. Len meta bdos 3la kramti 3shanha? M95t elsalfa. W ana bes al7g wraha mthl elklb. G3dt asog bdon hdf for an hour. The hour became 2, and then the 2 became 4 until I found myself in front of her house. Why do I do this to myself?

I have to get over her. I can't keep doing this to myself, and to her.


Anoud's P.O.V:

God, why can't I stop crying? I'm such a baby. I should calm down and think. I need to think properly. Am I willing to say yes and just accept the fact that I can never be with anyone other than him? Or will I say no and realize that there's a big fat chance of him marrying someone else? 

Am I willing to see him with another woman? Do I want another woman to wear his ring? Am I okay with visiting his future wife when she gives birth to his baby? I don't know. I'm so confused. Gosh, I have to think properly.

~

It's been a week since he proposed to me and I've been thinking non-stop about it. Did I do the right thing? Why can't I just yes? I'm so stupid! I should just say yes. I can't live without him. I can not. 

So I called him. 

The phone rang and rang and rang. 

Why isn't he picking up?

And then it stopped ringing.

He hung up on me. He is fed up with me. 

I lost the love of my life, forever.

To be continued...
