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.

Pt.7 -TheWayYouMakeMeSmile;*
Rakaan's Perspective:
Incoming Call:
el7oubbb;*
Layounti is calling me? weird! khal asheela ou ashouff shsalfaat 7abeebty..
Rakan: "Aloooo?"
Layan: "Rakan?"
Rakan: "Halla wallaaa.."
Layaaan: "Rakan, we need to talk.."
Rakan: "sure.. wain?"
Layan: "Coffee Republic, free zone"
Rakan: "okaaay 15 minutes ou ana there"
Layan: "see you!"
Ouuuukh shaklaa shay tharoury! I arrived 7ag Coffee Republic ou ma legait'haaa. So, I sat ou waited for her. After 5 minutes wa7daa labsaa Ray-ban wayfarers brown.. ou hazel/blondish hair, ou labsaaa a grey cardigan dress ma3a tights ou UGGs. Layaan looked amazing! 9ejj en'haa taghayeraat shway, ou 9aar shakel'haa a7laa. Ya raaby ta7feth'haa men el3ain, I repeated in my head. She came over ou sat across from me ou she lifted her Ray-Bans ou khalat'houm 3ala el6awlaa.. ou she looked at me and smiled.
Layaan's Perspective:

SHITT!!! why did I smile? I was gonna go for the look elyy ana-m3a9ba-bs-I-managed-to-look-casual-but-elegant-at-the-same-time. I guess I didn't pull it off. Oh well. He smiled back to me.
Rakan: "Ahlaaan.. shlounech?"
Layan: "bkhair el7emdellaa.. enta shloounek?"
Rakan: "tamaam.. Layan shaklech ghairr.. ya3ny feraagtay 3alaay.."
Layan: "hehe.." I said as I blushed.
Thank you face for letting me down once more! :)
Layaan: "ummm.. Rakan.. do you by any chance know wa7ed esmaa M7ammad?"
I had to make sure awaaal, bs I felt stupid for asking him that question la2anna fe 9083098309 M7ammaad's bel Kuwait.
Rakaan: "eee, laish?"
Layan: "raqmaa 9*******?"
He checked his mobile ou he nodded 7agy.
Layan: "ok.. did you tell him that I was cheap.. ou 3a6aitta my mobile number?"
Rakan's Perspective:
I was in utter shock! I mean, she should know that I didn't do it. What was going on?
Layan: "latsaaawy nafsek ena you're shocked Rakan! Who do you think you are 3ashan ta36yy your friends raqmyy ou et6ale3 esha3aat 3any ou etkharebb sum3ety? Wain elyy gal ena he'll sastisfy me?" She said angerly.
Rakaaan: "shenou Layan? you think I gave them your mobile number? I would never do that! ana shareech.. abeech etkounyn 7alaly ou oum 3yaaaly!"
Layan: "3ayal how come M7ammad sent me a msg ams ou galyy ena you gave him my mobile number ou you said ena I'm cheap?"
Rakan: "Layanii a7leflech eny ma adry 3an a single thing your saying. Are you even listening to yourself? Are you questioning my love 7aggech?"
Layaan: "You know what Rakan, etha you're not planning on telling me the truth barou7!"
Rakaan: "I am saying the truth! shfeech mentaay rathya et9adgeeny?"
Layan burst into tears. Ou ana ma 3eraaaft shasawwy, awal marra ashouf Layounti chethy. She was always laughing ou smiling. I cuddled her into my arms ou she laid her head on my shoulders. We stayed in this postion for about 15 minutes ou she was still crying. I stroked her head, wiped her tears, and I kissed her forehead.
Rakan: "bss khala9 layounti, I'll take care of you.. shhhh.."
She looked up to see my face, ou she smiled while her eyes twinkled. From that moment, ta2aakadt enaa there's nothing that can keep us apart.
Layaaan: "Rakaani, lazzem arou7 elbait al7een ok? I'll call you."
Rakan: "okay 7abeebti.. 6amneeny!"
She walked away.. ou rkebaat her 6awareq, ou ana rekaaabt my Range Rover.. ou maashait'haa laman w9elaat elbait. Then I headed 7ag eldewaneya.
Layan's Perspective:
Why did I forgive him so easily? Ugggghhh, I should've been more firm ma3aa. Aaaah, the way he held me.. ou the way he smiled, and his adorable qamaazat are just so.. awwwwwwwwwh;*! Ifffff, I love him, I love him, and I love him! Ya raaaby madry shasawy. Hmm, I'll call Na9our his best friend ou bas2ella questions 3an Rakan. La2anna I still wanted to figure out menou ga3d ya36yy el9bayan raqmy.
Outgoing call:
Na9er: "alooo.."
Layan: "hallaa na9er, it's me Layaan.."
Na9er: "guwaaa.. shlounech?"
Layan: "tamam wallah! bs baghait as2elekk, shkaan Rakan ga3d ysawy on February 14th?"
February 14th kaan the day I recieved the first msg men wa7edd haam egouly ena I'm cheap and whatever.
Na9err: "hmm, wallah chna kaan ma3aaay eb Avenues.. re7na el cenima.."
Layan: "kaan mobilaa ma3a?"
Na9err: "laa2, kaan nasyy bel bait.. ou ba3dain gaal 7ag his cousin ena etyeeb his mobile la2anna they live eb nafs elbait ou ehyaa kanaat eb teyey Avenues already.."
Layaan: "ahaaaa, ou kaan 3ala elsa3a chaam?
Na9er: "3ala el8;30 belail.."
Layan: "Okaaay thanks Na9err, yallah I have to go bye!"
And I ended the phone call ou I went 7ag Zain in avenues.. ou geltt 7ag my friend elyy kan 3enda'haa shift there ena etchayekk 3ala raqaam Rakan.. ou metta and what time ehwa daaz elmsg 7ag rab3a.
Samyaa(friend ely teshteghel eb Zain): "hmm, dazeen elmsg eb February 14 ou at 8;37."
BINGO!
Layaan: "ee okaay thanks honey.. enshoufech soon enshallah, bye!"
All the way home kent ga3d afaaker laish ehya dazaaat msgs 7ag rab3a ou galat lehoum ena ana cheap. Ou shmaa3na men mobile Rakaaani? And I came up with these conclusions:
1) Was she just plain mean, ou et7ebb etkharebb people's realtionships?
2) Was she jealous?
3) Did she secretly crush on her cousin?
4) She just wants attention?
Either way, I'm gonna find out ou bafahem'haa ana shloun at3amal ma3a nass nafs amthal'ha!

Layaan looked amazing! 9ejj en'haa taghayeraat shway, ou 9aar shakel'haa a7laa. Ya raaby ta7feth'haa men el3ain, I repeated in my head. She came over ou sat across from me ou she lifted her Ray-Bans ou khalat'houm 3ala el6awlaa.. ou she looked at me and smiled.
Layaan's Perspective:
Dashaaait dakhel.. wla ashouff wa7edd labess shorts ma3a an Abercrombie hoodie ou labess cap GAP. Kaan shaklaaa mou bs zouqaaah kan wedyy agaare9 khdooda hehe. I smiled at him ou I sat down. SHITT!!! why did I smile? I was gonna go for the look elyy ana-m3a9ba-bs-I-managed-to-look-casual-but-elegant-at-the-same-time. I guess I didn't pull it off. Oh well. He smiled back to me.
Rakan: "Ahlaaan.. shlounech?"
Layan: "bkhair el7emdellaa.. enta shloounek?"
Rakan: "tamaam.. Layan shaklech ghairr.. ya3ny feraagtay 3alaay.."
Layan: "hehe.." I said as I blushed.
Thank you face for letting me down once more! :)
Layaan: "ummm.. Rakan.. do you by any chance know wa7ed esmaa M7ammad?"
I had to make sure awaaal, bs I felt stupid for asking him that question la2anna fe 9083098309 M7ammaad's bel Kuwait.
Rakaan: "eee, laish?"
Layan: "raqmaa 9*******?"
He checked his mobile ou he nodded 7agy.
Layan: "ok.. did you tell him that I was cheap.. ou 3a6aitta my mobile number?"
Rakan's Perspective:
I was in utter shock! I mean, she should know that I didn't do it. What was going on?
Layan: "latsaaawy nafsek ena you're shocked Rakan! Who do you think you are 3ashan ta36yy your friends raqmyy ou et6ale3 esha3aat 3any ou etkharebb sum3ety? Wain elyy gal ena he'll sastisfy me?" She said angerly.
Rakaaan: "shenou Layan? you think I gave them your mobile number? I would never do that! ana shareech.. abeech etkounyn 7alaly ou oum 3yaaaly!"
Layan: "3ayal how come M7ammad sent me a msg ams ou galyy ena you gave him my mobile number ou you said ena I'm cheap?"
Rakan: "Layanii a7leflech eny ma adry 3an a single thing your saying. Are you even listening to yourself? Are you questioning my love 7aggech?"
Layaan: "You know what Rakan, etha you're not planning on telling me the truth barou7!"
Rakaan: "I am saying the truth! shfeech mentaay rathya et9adgeeny?"
Layan burst into tears. Ou ana ma 3eraaaft shasawwy, awal marra ashouf Layounti chethy. She was always laughing ou smiling. I cuddled her into my arms ou she laid her head on my shoulders. We stayed in this postion for about 15 minutes ou she was still crying. I stroked her head, wiped her tears, and I kissed her forehead.
Rakan: "bss khala9 layounti, I'll take care of you.. shhhh.."
She looked up to see my face, ou she smiled while her eyes twinkled. From that moment, ta2aakadt enaa there's nothing that can keep us apart.
Layaaan: "Rakaani, lazzem arou7 elbait al7een ok? I'll call you."
Rakan: "okay 7abeebti.. 6amneeny!"
She walked away.. ou rkebaat her 6awareq, ou ana rekaaabt my Range Rover.. ou maashait'haa laman w9elaat elbait. Then I headed 7ag eldewaneya.
Layan's Perspective:
Why did I forgive him so easily? Ugggghhh, I should've been more firm ma3aa. Aaaah, the way he held me.. ou the way he smiled, and his adorable qamaazat are just so.. awwwwwwwwwh;*! Ifffff, I love him, I love him, and I love him! Ya raaaby madry shasawy. Hmm, I'll call Na9our his best friend ou bas2ella questions 3an Rakan. La2anna I still wanted to figure out menou ga3d ya36yy el9bayan raqmy.
Outgoing call:
Na9er: "alooo.."
Layan: "hallaa na9er, it's me Layaan.."
Na9er: "guwaaa.. shlounech?"
Layan: "tamam wallah! bs baghait as2elekk, shkaan Rakan ga3d ysawy on February 14th?"
February 14th kaan the day I recieved the first msg men wa7edd haam egouly ena I'm cheap and whatever.
Na9err: "hmm, wallah chna kaan ma3aaay eb Avenues.. re7na el cenima.."
Layan: "kaan mobilaa ma3a?"
Na9err: "laa2, kaan nasyy bel bait.. ou ba3dain gaal 7ag his cousin ena etyeeb his mobile la2anna they live eb nafs elbait ou ehyaa kanaat eb teyey Avenues already.."
Layaan: "ahaaaa, ou kaan 3ala elsa3a chaam?
Na9er: "3ala el8;30 belail.."
Layan: "Okaaay thanks Na9err, yallah I have to go bye!"
And I ended the phone call ou I went 7ag Zain in avenues.. ou geltt 7ag my friend elyy kan 3enda'haa shift there ena etchayekk 3ala raqaam Rakan.. ou metta and what time ehwa daaz elmsg 7ag rab3a.
Samyaa(friend ely teshteghel eb Zain): "hmm, dazeen elmsg eb February 14 ou at 8;37."
BINGO!
Layaan: "ee okaay thanks honey.. enshoufech soon enshallah, bye!"
All the way home kent ga3d afaaker laish ehya dazaaat msgs 7ag rab3a ou galat lehoum ena ana cheap. Ou shmaa3na men mobile Rakaaani? And I came up with these conclusions:
1) Was she just plain mean, ou et7ebb etkharebb people's realtionships?
2) Was she jealous?
3) Did she secretly crush on her cousin?
4) She just wants attention?
Either way, I'm gonna find out ou bafahem'haa ana shloun at3amal ma3a nass nafs amthal'ha!

Audrey Hepburn;*
Umbaaay don't you just love Audrey Hepburn? I absolutly adore her, and everything about her. My fave movie casted by her is Funny Face.
She's a true inspiration for all women!
Ever read her quotes? Well, take a glance at a couple of them..
"For beautiful eyes, look for the good in others; for beautiful lips, speak only words of kindness; and for poise, walk with the knowledge that you are never alone." -Audrey Hepburn
"Pick the day. Enjoy it - to the hilt. The day as it comes. People as they come... The past, I think, has helped me appreciate the present - and I don't want to spoil any of it by fretting about the future." -Audrey Hepburn
"Remember, if you ever need a helping hand, it's at the end of your arm, as you get older, remember you have another hand: The first is to help yourself, the second is to help others." -Audrey Hepburn
As I said before, and I'm gonna say it again.. She is a true inspiration to all of us, women!;*
Oh, and did I mention that she's amazingly gorgeous, mashallah.
Yes, my lovelies.. classic is back, and it's as good as new!

Pt.6 -TheWayYouMakeMeSmile;*
First year of jaam3a ended.. and Jouri ou Phaaye kept nagging ena it's not healthy for me to stay this way. And by "this way" I mean ena ma akell wayed.. wla a6la3 wayedd, ou I don't even laugh wayedd. I have to confess and say ena I have been a disasterous mess! And I kept hoping ena ashouffa somewhere accidently bs it never happenned. Maybe safaaar ou ra7 deera thanya yadress there. Oh well, I guess it's better ina ma ashouffaa.. la2anna it'll just make it worst. Phaaye and Jouri slept over at my house almost 5 days a week. La2anna they say I'm capable of doing anything right now, even suicide. 7attaaan law ma 3eraaft Rakan 7ag mouda 6eweela, I feel like I've known him since a lifetime! Phaayou and Jouri are sleeping over elyoum, malyy khelg 7anat'houm. But, oh well.
Jouri: "I'M HOOOOOOME"
Phaayye: "YEAH BABY!!"
Layan: "someone's hyper"
Phaaye: "indeed we are!"
I rolled my eyes at her. And she rolled her eyes back at me.
Jouri: "Laayoun bs khala9!! I'm not allowing you to damage yourself. Bs khalaaa9!! We both know you've been through a lot, bs tara mou zaiin ely entaay ga3d etsaweena eb nafsech. IT IS NOT HEALTHY!!"
Layan: "ya3nyy what do you expect me to do? Haaa? go to parties and pretend that I never fell in love with an amazing person, and I broke his heart? is that what you want me to do?" I replied angerly
Jourii: "Laaa2 I'm not asking you to do that! ana qasdyy ena you should move on, la2anna if he really wants you ou etha ehwa shareech 3ayal he's gonna wait for you.. nafs what you asked him to do! etha he's a gentleman ou e7ebech he'll do it! he'll wait! Layouuna, love is enough! his love for you is enough!"
I just looked at her and sighed. I know that she's right deep down in my heart. Bs I can't imagine not thinking of him one day. I really think about him all the time, it's not something I can control. I'm afraid of moving on.
Layaan: "what do you want me to do?"
Phaayo: "Yatlyy fekra!! shraykoum we stay eb Kempinski this weekend? you know, 3ashan we relax. And look for hot guys. Wink, wink.. Nudge,Nudge"
Jouri: "I'm all for it!!!!!"
Layaan: "okaaay I guess.. bs etha ana gelt let's get back 7ag elbait bnerjaa3 okaay?"
Joury: "okaaaaaaaaaaay! tanning, hot guys, costa, and ba7aar.. here we come!"
We went to Kempinski, and had the fun of our lives. Ou for the first time since the breakup I totally forgot about Rakan. 3ugoub ma radaina men Kempinski I became a7saan men gabel eb 180 darajja. I went to malls, shalaih, and my life has been way funner. One day...

Pt.5 -TheWayYouMakeMeSmile;*
Outgoing msg:
"I already miss you;*"
I msged before I shut down my mobile, 3ala bou el6ayaraa.
40 seconds later...
Incoming msg:
"ana akthar! ou tara I'm coming back 7ag elKuwait after tomorrow;)"
I shut down my mobile, and sighed a sigh of relief, at last I'm going to Kuwait.. I miss it!
Rakaan and I were like this for about a month, we never had a fight. He's been always gentle, caring, and charming with me. Ya3nyy rayal eb gaad elkelmaa. Ou that's what I'm seeking in my dream man. And, so far he never let me down. Ya3nyy I don't know, bs it's kind of suspicious that everything is just too perfect. But everytime I shut the phone call, or a sent a text msg.. I knew that I was doing a very wrong thing. Lying to my mother, Mis-using her trust in me, betraying my brothers, and lastly betraying my karaaama. It just wasn't me! So one day....
Outgoing msg:
"Rakooni, as soon as you're faathy.. please call me"
After 3 minutes, he called.
Rakan: "alooo"
Layan: "ahlaaan"
Rakaaan: "Hallaa eb Layounti! shlounech? shfeech? 3saa ma shar?"
Layan: "Laa2 ma feeny shaay, bs I want to talk to you 3an shay mouhem.."
Rakaaan: "eeee?"
Layan: "Rakaan, I can't do this anymore.."
Rakaan: "do what?"
Layaan: "talking to you, I feel like I'm mis-treating my family.. ou I shouldn't do this to them 3ugoub kel elyy 3a6ouny ou what they sacrified 3ashan my happiness"
Rakan: "Layountii, ana fahmech.. bs mou fahemmm, shenou by9yyr feena al7een?"
Layan: "madri Rakan.. I love you, you've been amazing ma3aaay.. you define the word amazing a9lan! Bss khalaa9 I'm done with this.. etha tabeeny.. wait for me! en6ernyy laman atkharaaj and ekh6ubny.."
I heard Rakan breathing heavily.
Rakaan: "bs layan, ana ma agdaar an6err hal kether.. ana a7ebech entaay layounti, 7abeebti, ou galbiii.. entaay kellli a9laan!!"
Layaan: "I'm sorry Rakaani" I ended the phone call and started crying.
after what seemed like a lifetime but only an hour..
Incoming msg:
"Laayounti?"
My eyes teared up again, and I started crying all over again..
Outgoing msg:
"Rakaan, bs khala9.. delete my number. Ou etha tabeeny wait for me.."
Incoming msg:
"Bss.. ana a7ebech!!!"
Outgoing msg:
"Prove your love for me, by waiting 3 more years.. and come ekh6ubny 3ala senaaat allah ou rasoolaa"
Incoming msg:
"You will be satisfied;)"
I decided to not answer him back, la2anna etha thalaaina chethy mara7 nkhalle9. So 7a6aait my mobile 3ala elcharger ou I drifted off to sleep with a tear on my cheeks. It was the first night I sleep without smiling in about 1 and 2 weeks. Well, I'm expecting more smile-less nights.. el7emdellaa 3ala kel 7aal.
