Chapter 17 - Unbreakable

Reem's perspective:  

These two weeks passed by so fast as we had the graduation party at my house it was so fun it felt like we were at a disco. I'm almost done packing for our vacation to the United States. I just can't wait to ride the plane and fly away to Los Angeles. I wanna shop till I drop. Ok stop imagining and talking Reem back to work.

Me: " Louboutin how can I forget you my love". 

I was hugging my heels w faj2a I heard someone chuckling behind me..it was my dad. 

Me: " Ahh baba when did you came here?" 

Dad: " I was about to go to your mom then I saw you hugging hatha el k3ab malkm so I said let me stand and laugh." 

Me: " BABA!!!." 

He went laughing all the way to mom. I kept on packing my clothes neatly in the bag as in the afternoon I'll go out with Salama.

Elyazyh's perspective:

I took a break from packing and decided to watch the Enews while drinking my hot chocolate. My phone suddenly vibrates in my pocket thus I took it out and looked at my screen to find Reem calling.

Me: " Alo halla Reeeem."

Reem: " Heyyy agooolch go get ready we will go to Dubai Mall with Salama yallah byeee see you!"

I was about to reply but she closed..typical Reem. I heading to my dressing room got out my juicy short sleeve shirt and jeans. I finished less than five minutes and Reem didnt arrive yet. I applied some foundation, thin line of eye liner, mascara and pink lipstick. While I was wearing my 3bah I saw Reem's car outside I rushed to grab my Hermes bag and ran down the stairs to the car.

Me: " Hellooo ya 7lween."

Reem and Salama :" Thank you ;;)."

They both laughed at their reaction. We sang the whole ride to Dubai Mall. Without noticing we arrived there early, we parked the car and headed to the inside. We kept on shopping and shopping as usual then we decided to go to Armani cafe. As we were sipping our cappuccino local hot guys were passing by the faj2a Salama gasped.

Me: " Salama bsmila shfty jny?"

Reem: " Salaaamy rdy balach?"

Reem and I looked at the direction she was looking at and guess whom it was. I could tell that he was amazed which made me to.

Reem: " Khalifa?!"

Salama: " Do you know him?"

Reem: " Yes he's wld 3amy."

Salama: " OMG chthaaba!! He's my ex."

Her ex what?? OMG since when OMG OMG she never told us. WTH !! Khalifa and Salama?! I cant take this anymore I felt as if my heart got stabbed right in the middle. Its too heavy I cant I just want to run far away where no one would ever find me. My eyes began to water but I immediatly brushed it away and breathed heavily.

Reem: " Since when you never told me that you and Khalifa were a couple."

Please stop I beg you. I looked the other way and found Khalifa whispering something to his friend and then he came toward us.

Salama: " We were but we broke up last year we only stayed for one year and now he is here. Excuse me I'll be back."

Before she could leave Khalifa came. They were both staring at each other I just looked down avoiding any eye contacts. I can't handle this feeling I simply can't, it's like there is a burden on my shoulder like a sin I have made.

Reem: " Halla Khalifa min zmaan ma shftk jahiz 7ag el sfar?"

Khalifa brushing his hair awkwardly: " Hallah Reem haih ana jahiz hhh. Sh7alch Elyazyh ... o Salama?"

I lifted my head up acting all strong but once I looked into his eyes I went back into being weak..I ignored.

I smile widely: " Ana b5air el7mdila!"

Salama excused herself not wanting to be part of this awkward chat and moment perhaps.

Reem: " Have a seat Khalifa I wanna chat with you my trustworthy friend."

She gave him a fake smile as he sat on the chair facing her. I was only listening to what they're saying not wanting to speak as my lips are sealed.

Reem: " When did this all happened ? "

Khalifa: " What happened? What is this?"

Reem: " Dont play dumb with me I know everything Salama told me about you both. Khalifa you dating my friend my own friend w ma 5bartny?"

Ouch!

Khalifa: " What do you want me say? I'm guy Reem I can date whomever I want I dont have to tell you. If she was really your friend hal 5ayseh she will tell you. Why didn't you ask her she's your friend I'm a guy I can date any girl I want."

Salama 5ayseh what does he mean by that? I'm confused.

Reem: " Dont ever say that about Salama you don't even know her."

Khalifa: " I have my ways remember she was my girlfriend. I found everything about her that's why we broke up. That's why now sarat el bait because she knew what I'm about to tell you this instance."

Please just dont.

Reem: " Huh what do you mean by that? What did she do?"

Khalifa: " Salama is two-faced , t6la3 wya shbab w wayed things bs I wont say them. Now did you get why she's 5ayseh?" 

OMG I never knew that Salama was chi she used to be quite and shy. I can't believe what he said. This is enough this huge weight that is placed on my heart I can't take it anymore. A tear went down to my check as I kept staring on the ground.

Reem: " Salama I never knew that she was two-faced I can't believe what I heard. Elyazyh are you ok? "

Please not that question I hate it. I wont break down I won't.

Me: " Yeaa I think I'll be back, cant I have your key Reem? I forgot something in the car." 

She knew what I said was a lie but she gave it to me anyways. I went to the parking and when I was there I felt someone following me. I turned and found Khalifa standing.

Me: " What do you want?"

Khalifa: " I want you."

Me: " What do you mean by that?"

Khalifa: " I want to know what's wrong with you? Why did you left all of a sudden? Why didn't you said anything when you saw me?"

Me: " Please just leave I want to be alone."

He came closer to me and looked me right into my eyes.

Khalifa: " Are you hurt for what I said? Why were you crying?"

He read me like a paper, I hate the fact that all my emotions are shown in my face no matter how much I tried to hide them. I cried in his arms, I hugged him let all the pain inside of me to escape to get out. He hugged me back and allowed myself to feel free in his arms. When I calmed down he wiped away my tears and lifted my head up.

Khalifa: " I'm sorry for what I said back there I never meant to hurt you. I can never hurt you I promise that this would never happen again."

Me: " Wow laish kl ha is it because I cried."

Khalifa: " No it's because I love you."
