Chapter 24 - Unbreakable

Elyazyh perspective:

Me: " WHAAAAAAAT DID YOU SAY!"

Khalifa: " Do you want to tell her or shall I do it?"

Me: " OMG!.... Leave it to me it's better if I did it."

Khalifa: " Then lets go Mayed is waiting downstairs will go to her now. Meet us downstairs.."

He left, I could see that he was holding his tears in. If he is feeling miserable then what will Reem feel after what she is going to hear from me. Oh God help me. I prayed and headed downstairs to the car. The atmosphere felt so dead and calm which terrified me. I couldnt stop shaking, this is so hard. The more we got nearer to our destination. my heart beating starts acceleration in a very high speed. I was completely drown in my thoughts that I totally forgot that we arrived.

Me: " And we finally reached. This is so hard wallah."

Mayed: " I know but she has to know. I and Khalifa are by your side dont worry, we will help you."

He hugged me as some tear drops were rolling down my cheeks till they reached the ground. He wiped them away and we proceeded to the door. The house was quiet to quiet until Reem came down the stairs screaming my name and hugging me so tight.

Reem: " I missed you yal 7mara it's been three days w ma yaity 3ndy w I'm home alone!"

My heart ached when I remembered the reason why she was left all alone. She welcomed us to the living room and we sat there awkwardly as silence filled the place.

Reem: " Laish sakteen sho feekm? Oh sorry I'll tell them to bring some snacks."

Khalifa: " No thank you Reem we already ate just have a seat."

Mayed nudged my shoulder, ordering me to start. I swallowed hard and prayed for God that she would understand.

Me: " Reem I have to tell you something."

She nodded.

Me: " God this is hard...Reem your dad passed away before two days. Allah yr7ma.."

I couldnt hold my tears any more I just let them flow.

Reem's perspective:

Elyazyh: " God this is hard...Reem your day passed away before two days. Allah yr7ma.."

My heart kept pounding so fast against my ribcage and my hand began really cold. Shocked I was not uttering any word. My brain just stopped after what she said. My dad passed away? No she must be joking. This is not true Reem it can't be. No its not. I kept laughing really hard and crying loudly as I fell on the floor.

Mayed: " Reem are you ok goomy Reem."

Me: " AFTER WHAT I HEARD YOU EXPECT ME TO BE OK MAYED!!! THIS IS NOT TRUE MY DAD IS ALIVE I'LL PROVE TO YOU ALL I'M GOING TO CALL HIM."

I grabbed my phone and dailed his phone to find it switched off. I threw my phone and cried harder, I felt that my brain is going to explode and I'm going to faint any minute now. Everyone was crying, I could hear them clearly.

Me: " PLEASE BRING MY DAD I WANT MY DAD...PLEASE HELP ME...I WANT TO SEE MY DAD."

Mayed was pulling me in his arm trying to calm me down, not speaking or saying anything.

Elyazyh: " I cant take this anymore *snifs* I cant stand seeing her like that *snifs*."

Me: " Mayed *snifs*."

Mayed: " Yes Reem."

I looked at him as tears kept falling from his eyes.

Me: " I want my dad Mayed...*snifs* I cant live without him..*snifs* I just cant."

Mayed: " You're dad is in a good place now he is with Allah. Don't cry just pray for him he really needs that. You trust Allah am I right?"

Me: " Yes I do *snifs*."

Mayed: " Put all your trust and faith in God. Keep praying latwadreen 9latch you never know when you will die. W ed3eela he really need it." 

Khalifa: " We're always here for you Reem we wont leave you. If you need anything you can count on us."

Elyazyh : "I love you Reem *snifs*"

I hugged them all I'm glad I have them in my life. I thank God for giving me a lovely family.  

----------------------

We had the women 3zah at my grandmother's and the men at my uncle's house. It was such a depressing week, I had sleepless nights. I would cry myself to sleep and sometimes I would shed tears while I'm praying. It's heartbreaking to see my mom sob infront of me because she lost the love of her life. I would occasionally stay beside here until she sleeps. I promised to always help her and do anything she desires.

My heart aches at the thought that my dad is no longer her and that he won't see my kids nor when I will graduate from college. My dad has been my hero ever since I was a child, he
taught me eveything in life. He has been a great teacher and father. Even when we fight by the end of the day he would come and hug me. When I'm sad he will cheer me up. He would give up anything to see me happy. But now he is gone and he is in a good place which makes me happy. Allah yr7amk eboy , I miss you so much and I will always love you until the end.
