Pt.9b -TheWayYouMakeMeSmile;*

Rakaan's Perspective:

Shfeeha Layoun ma tredd 3alayy for the past two days? akhaaaf 9ayerr feeha shay! Or yemken ana mza3el'ha. Bs ana ma sawait shaaay;s! chnaa 3endy raqaaam Joouri her friend, yallah khal ajarebb adeg ou ashoof..

Outgoing Call: Rakan:

Jouri: alooo..?

Rakan: haala Jouri, ana Rakan..

Jouri: oh okay, halla wallah.. ummm Rakan, lazzem agoulek shay. Bs ma ye9laa7 bel phone, lazzem face to face.

Rakan: shfeech la tkhar3eeny! Layaan feeha shay wla la2?!

Jouri: meet me eb Starbucks el3daileya in five minutes.

Rakan: ok, bye.


I slipped on my grey training pants, and wore an orange polo and headed to Starbucks. Dashaaaait ou legait Jouri ga3d tan6erny.


Rakan: halla Jouri, shlounch?

Jouri: wallah tamam,

akward silence........

Jouri: Rakan, tara Layoun bel moustashfaa..

Rakan: SHENOU? LAISH? SHFEEHA?

Jouri: kanaat rakbaa ma3a Phaaye, her cousin, bel sayaraa.. wla they got into a car accident la2anna Phaaye 6awefaat elEsharaa el7amra, ou a car came running into them 9oub el yesaaar.

Rakan: enaaa lellah wa ena elayehe raje3oon.. ta3awerat Layan?

Jouri: some bruises and a broken hand, no biggie. eb moustashfa elAmeery.

Rakan: aah okay, mashkoura Jouri. bs ummm, 3ady arou7 hnaak wla ahal'ha mawjoudyn?

Jouri: laa2 3ady rou7, ou I'll meet you there.

Rakan: yallah, feman elah.

I made my way to the car, and I started drifting through the streets. I was so anxious to get there. Enshallah ma feeeha shay.



Layaan's Perspective:

I found the room dark, and there was a heavy weigh in my chest. All I can remember is when Phaayou was shocked to hear that her mother had cancer, ou we went through a car accident. Yaraaaab ma y9eer shay 7ag Phaaye. Ou what about Jouri? wain'haa?
It's as if she heard me wondering where she was, she entered.. with Rakan by her side. I huge smile made its way across my face, and when he saw me, he smiled back. Shaklaaa mou bs adorable! haha;p

Jouri came and hugged me so tight, bs I can see ena feeha sadness eb her face. Shesaaalfa? I feel great now that Rakaani came. After Jouri's hug, came Rakan. He hugged so tightly and so soothingly, that I forgot all the pain I had. He sat on the chair next to me, and Jouri sat on the chair next to Rakoun.

Jouri: Haaa Layoun, how do you feel?

Layan: great!

Jouri: doum enshallah.

Layan: wain Phayou? aby ashouf'haa, I miss her. ehya eb which room?

Jouri changed the subject and she started to talk about jam3aaa ou Rakan joined in our conversation. Then an Indain nurse came into my room ou she started checking the basics (blood pressure, heart beats, etc.).

Nurse: Oh, and I'm sorry that I didn't say this before but, 3atham allah ajrech.. it's how you say it, am I right?

Layaan: 3atham allah ajrech for what? who died? hehe;p

Nurse: the girl that came with you, her name is Pay if I'm not mistaken..

Layan: oh, I think you're mistaken. Phaaye isn't dead.

Jouri: actually Layan, Phaayou tewafaaat la2anna elcar crashed 9oub'ha ehya. 3atham allah ajrech.

Layan: what? haaa? that's not possible!

And I started screaming and crying hysterically. Rakaaan and Jouri hugged me, but it was like I didn't even notice at all. All I thought about was Phaye. dead. because of me.

I fluttered my eyes open, wlaa I find Rakan sleeping yaaamy bel bed, with his hands around me. Ou Jouri was sleeping on a couch next to me. I took a glimpse at the watch, and it read 3:04 am. And then the memory came back to me, and I started visualising what had happened. Tears in my eyes were now rainfalls on my cheeks, I started shivering. Phaaye, the beautiful Phaaye. now, dead.


Rakaan's Perspective:

7asaaait eb shay ga3d yetkhathkhath yamy. I opened my eyes, wla alaaagy Layounti crying. I started to stroke her hair ou I was whispering stuff 7ag'haa like "everything will be okay" and stuff like that.

Rakaan: khalaa9 layaani, ga6a3tay galby!

After I said those words, she started too cry aqaaal, and aqaaal until she stopped crying. She looked at me with her big innocent hazel eyes and she smiled a fake smile.

Layaan: Rakan, I think I love you akthar men ma a7ebb nafsy

Rakaan: Layan, tadreen ena ana met2aked eny a7ebech akthar men ma a7ebb nafsy.

And she blushed. I kept repeating in my head mashallah, mashallah. She was so beautiful mashallah, allah e7afeth'ha.

She cuddled next to me, and she put her head on my shoulders, and fell fast asleep.
