Chapter 22 - Unbreakable

Reem's perspective:

After a moment of silence he decided to respond. He brushed his hair with his left hand and kept playing with his blackberry.

Mayed: " It depends on my mood."

All I could say was 'oh'. I felt dumb by asking him a silly question but I was curious. My phone rang in my hand and immediatly I picked it up without looking at the caller.
Me; " Alo..haih..la dont worry I'm ok...inshallah now we are coming. Bye."

I closed the call and informed Mayed that we have to get back because they are worried.

Narrator's perspective: 

Everyone went to sleep except for Reem. She kept thinking about Mayed which was odd for her to actually think about someone especially a guy. His words kept repeating in her mind nonestop, she kept wondering if what he said was true or not. Reem got up from bed, grabbed her blackberry then got dressed and got out. She had no idea where she is going, at the end she ended up sitting in the lobby reading a book.

....: " Excuse me."

She looked up and gasped.

Reem: " Bsmila enta sho tba mny now? Listen Nasser I'm seriously not in the mood for neither your games nor you."

Nasser: " Can I have a seat? I wanna tell you something."

Reem: " I dont want to hear anything from you now please go away. Can't you see I'm busy."

Nasser: " No trust me it's important."

Reem: " But I dont trust you."

She raised a brow at him.

Nasser: " Whatever I dont care. The thing that I'm about to tell you is that. Ana e5o Shamsa I think t3arfeenha anyways she told me to flirt with you w do things wyach. She wants Mayed your cousin, she kept threating me and so I agreed."

Reem kept quite it was as if her lips were sealed or locked. Her brain went blank from all the confusion and bewilderment. Slowly she began getting what he was saying and from being surprised she went mad.

Reem: " How many times should I repeat saying that I and Mayed are not even togeher. Ana mayhmny if she want him let her take him. 5ala9 3ad fkoony!!"

Nasser: " Reem calm down people are staring at us. 3aib."

Reem: " I dont care! She will keep sending people w madri sho w tbany I fall for them la ya 7abeeby I'm not a toy 3sab chi tsawy fyh!!!"

She let out all her anger just like when a volcano erupts. She went silent and breathed heavily. Sick people she kept repeating in her head.

Nasser: " I'm sorry what I didn't mean to do that but she was threating me."

Reem: " Threating you ? With what?"

Nasser: " I don't want to say it but I will. She said if I didn't obey to her plans she will tell everyone that ana a7ibch."

Reem's perspective:

WHAT!! Wait maybe I heard it wrong, who am I kidding everything was clear. Nasser loves me? I dont believe it! How can his sister do that to her own brother!! What kind of a creature is she?

Nasser: " I know that you are surprised, you didnt expect me to say that. It's the truth Reem, I really love you, in school I watch talk with your friends. I never knew that I would love you but I did. I couldn't complete what I was doing hours ago because you're going to hate me and I couldn't let that happen. I'm sorry."

I felt like hugging him. Wait what am I saying! I shoved that thought out of my mind. I really don't know what to reply, now he will think I'm deaf.

Me: " It's ok Nasser no need to appologize. It isn't your fault and you did the right thing by telling me the truth."

He smiled at me. Poor Nasser, his sister won't get away with this. First she talks rudely with Elyazyh, makes up story about Mayed and then she uses her brother for her plan. I looked at my watch and realized it was getting late and I have to sleep.

Me: " I'm sorry Nasser but I have to go."

Nasser: " La 3adi. Let me take you to your room."

Me: " Its ok I know my way. Maba ata3bk wyay."

Nasser: " Laa laa mashay yallah inseer."

How nice of him even though I denied he still wants to take me. We arrived our level and then I reached out for my card in my pocket. 

Me: " Thank you for telling me the trutth.  I'm really sorry for being rude and judging you before knowing the story."

Nasser: " La 3adi, you have all the rights to get mad at me because of what I did. Anyhow good night and take care. Hope we meet up soon."

We smiled at each other than said our farewells. I went to sleep peacfully without assuming a thing.
