Chapter 18 - Unbreakable

Elyazyh’s perspective:

When he said it, my heart began pounding so fast against my ribcage. My stomach began to tingle as shivers ran down my spins from his touch. The word I love you began repeating in my mind none stop. My lips were kept sealed I couldn’t speak perhaps I didn’t know what to say. I’m stunned.

Khalifa: “ I know that you’re shocked and paralyzed but Elyazyh I love you I really do. I promise you I will never hurt you.”

Me: “ Umm..I really don’t know what to say this is happening to fast.”

Khalifa: “ Do you love me?”

What do you I say? Yes I love you Khalifa? Hmmm I don’t know with Rashid I said it but with Khalifa it’s different. I’ll just follow my heart and say it, nothing to lose.

Me: “ mmmm yes.”

My cheeks began to turn red and warm, as if rainbow colors were flashing all over the sky. I looked down on the ground shyly avoiding any eye contacts.

Khalifa: “ sho yes (smirking)?”

I love it when he smiles it shows his cute dimples on both cheeks. He is just trying to get on my nerves and force me to say it. I won’t say it.

Me: “ Khalifa !!.”

Khalifa: “ Yes?”

Me: “ T8haar!!.”

Khalifa: “ I don’t have all day ok yallah say it (acting cool).”

Me: “ Fine I love you happy now.”

Khalifa: “ Thank you.”

He kissed my right cheek that were glowing the red color and left. Excuse me? Is he playing with me? Ma3laih Khalifa. I looked at the time and remembered that Reem is waiting for me. I swifted back in and called her.

Reem: “ Mashallah 6ool hal wagt sho tsaween t9e7een 7abeeebty?”

Reem being sarcastic just like always. I laughed hysterically as some people gave me weird looks while passing by.

Me: “ Hahaha la t3aly bagoolch everything. I’m so happy!”

Reem: “ Haih haih akeed because you left me.”

Me: “ Fdaaait wayhch akeed. I’m joking wallah.”

I grabbed her hand so she wont slip away from me and go to any shop she sees. Seriously t3abt min kthr ma nsawy shopping. I told her everything from A to Z. The whole time she was saying Chthaaba. Now why would I lie?
Reem: “ Omg so the whole time he was saying I love you malat 3laaikm.”

Me: “ Chub it was romantic.”

Reem: “ Yea so romantic in the parking.”

Me: “ (laughing) Chub Reem yallah mta bayi doorich.”

Reem: “ I have no idea haha. Zain so you got what you wanted which is Khalifa I hope ma ywadrch or I’ll kick his ass.”

It was already 11:00pm so we decided to go back home. In the car we were planning on what we shall do in Los Angeles and London. First we will be going to Los Angeles for couple of weeks afterward we will travel to London for a week. We were busy discussing that we didn’t even realize that we already reached home. Both of us departed our separate ways said good night and directly went to sleep.

Narrator’s perspective:

It finally came the day where their journey or shall I say trip is ready to start. The sun rose up shinning brightly allowing it rays to enter the house awakening them. The sky was blue with clouds scattering everywhere with different shapes. Birds tweeting as they flew from one place to another until they reach their destination. She sat there by the pool, reading her favorite book as she sipped her coffee that was in her pistachio and pink mug that she brought from Turkey last summer. It was quite and peaceful day until her best friend came and interrupted her moment of being alone.

Elyazyh: “ Reem come on get dressed we are going to leave now!”

She glances at the time and quickly drinks her coffee then carries her story and rushes up the marble stairs and into her room. She wore hot pink Cavalli tracksuit with LV side bag and pink Hermes slippers. She applies simple makeup on her pale face, allowing her black curls to flow. In contrast Elyazyh wore long black and pink Missoni dress with Hermes ballet pumps, Prada purse with pink Fendi scarf covering her hair. Once she is done she checked if she brought everything she needed like Ipad, Ipod, story etc..

Reem went with her parents including Khalifa while Elyazyh went with her parents and Mayed. The airport wasn’t that far from there place which was better for them. When they arrived, their parents went to check on their immigration on the other hand Reem, Elyazyh, Mayed and Khalifa decided to go to duty free to buy some junk.

Reem: “ Elyazyh look behind you, there is this guy he’s been following us everywhere.”

Elyazyh took a glance behind as if she is searching for something. Then she realizes that the guy is coming to their direction.

Elyazyh: “ Kla mnch now bayi 3ndna act normal.”

She nodded and the next minute they knew he was right behind them.

The guy: “ Good morning ladies do you need help I saw you searching for something (smirking).”

What a flirt and he got an excellent American accent Reem justifies to herself.

Reem: “Good moring to you to..no thank you we already got what we want but thanx anyways for the help.”

She gives him a warm polite smile.

The guy: “ My pleasure it was nice meeting you-.”

Reem trying to think of a name.

Reem: “ Meera(smiling).”

The guy: “ 3ashat el2samy, w ana esmy Nasser.”

So he is local and a gentlemen Reem exclaimed to herself

Reem: “ 3ashat ayamk it was nice meeting you. I’m sorry but I have to leave my parents are waiting for me.”

Nasser: “ Its ok have a nice day!”

Reem: “ You two.”

She smiles and walks away searching for Elyazyh whom left her when Na9ir came. When she got out of the store she found on a corner Mayed and Elyazyh. She hoped that he didn’t see her talking to Nasser. While walking her heart kept racing and her hands began to sweat. He gave her death stares as she came closer.

Reem: “ Elyazyh wain knty ? I was wandering around adawir 3laich.”

Mayed moves his gaze from the store and back to Reem.

Mayed: “ The question is where were you not her?”

Reem swallowed hard to clear her throat before talking.

Reem: “ I was in the shop.”

Mayed: “ What were you doing there?”

Reem: “ Buying junk.”

Mayed: “ Then why didn’t you come with Elyazyh?”

Reem: “ She left me.”

Reem got mad at what Elyazyh did which is leaving.

Mayed: “ La tlfeen w doreen ana shftch b3ainy knty tramseen wa7ed da5il.”

Elyazyh winks at Reem informing  her not to worry.

Elyazyh: “ Haih kan shay wa7ed ys2al-ha about a shop so she was just telling him the way while I was searching for chocolate. She did want to ignore and be rude so she just simply told him and came.”

Reem hoped that he would believe that story or else they will both get in trouble. Mayed believed what she said but was still suspicious. Both were glad that any scene didn’t occur as they’re not in the mood for dilemma. Once they heard the annoucment about they’re flight they hurried to the gate in order to get there in time. It’s a buzz when you’re late to reach the gate as people are moving all over the place like animals in search for food or a prey.

After a long walk, at last they reached their destination in time. They got their ticket seats along with into the plane they went. As they sat in their seat buckled up a familiar figure appears when Reem was grabbing something from her bag. All she could see was a Hermes black sandals, familiar Once Million scent, slowly she lifts her head up and gasps in amazement.
