I woke up in an old, smelly hospital with my parents by my side and Remas sitting on the edge of my bed crying. What have I done? I instantly regretted it seeing Remas cry was my limit.
I opened my eyes while hearing Remas tell my mother "I'll doctor gal ina bit9eer zaina"
"chathabaa, lat gi9een 3alay" my mother said and burst into tears. I've never seen her cry and she was wearing a abaya. That was new too.
Once they realized I was awake my mother quickly gave me a long, lung-crushing hug. My dad gave me a friendly smile and Remas gave me a death stare. oh god.
My parents told me how worried they were and they were glad that I was alive. They were over exaggerating. Then my doctor came in and I remember his exact speech. I wonder if he told my parents. I don't think so "ana esme dr. fayez (he turned to my parents) 3ade akalmha ebrou7ha etha sama7tow? (my parents nodded and Remas left too, he went over to close the door) emm 7abeebty 3adeee as'al so'al? ( I nodded,he knew I thought.) entay et..da5..neen?" He finally said out.
"ee" I said, dying with fear
"Ana a3rf Remas kanat ma3ay bel jam3a o 3alashan a7b-mm a3arifha ma ra7 agoul 7ag ahalch o ana adree ena som3tch mohima fa Remas ew3datny et7l il mow'93 o I umm, trust her" He said and I couldn't help but smirk, He is seriously head over heels over Remas.
"tara may'9a7k, min9jy" He said before leaving the room.
During the day my uncles, aunts & my cousins came. Bader had an after noon tutor and when he found out he was already with the tutor. As soon as he arrived. Farah and Deema just walked in.
"umm khalty 3amee 3ade akalm yasmeen digeega ebrou7y" Farah said, They both nodded and left Bader stayed in the room so did deema.
"Yasmeen shemsawya ib nafsch?" He said and he took my hand, I can see farah making faces at deema. They can be so childish at the most serious times. Just like me sometimes. I didn't dare answer Bader's question I just looked down. Filled with guilt. Bader turned to Deema and Farah.
"mnu kan ma3aha? shnu 9ar?" He asked now he was worried.
"ana, umm (she looked at me asking for my permission to tell him, I nodded yes) kina bl old gym, She was smoking. Ana ma kint mintabha wara7a wela achouf that she smoked five umm zigayer we were ditching class o she stood up wela et6ee7 '3ashyana" She said looking at Bader, then she turned at me "laman 6i7tay rashait 3ala your clothes perfume o da5l 7aljch breath mint o ga3adtch 3ala il bench ele yam il cafeteria o nadait il nurse, giltlaha we came together o min the gate kan maftou7 min wara 3alashan chithee you didn't sign your name bs giltlaha ana ri7t digeega to sign laman rija3t wela 6i7tay '3ashyana. A9lan ma kanat tadree shnu feech o I called Remas o bs" She said and let out a sigh.
Before Bader could comment, I heard the door creek and I turned to Deema because only she could see the door "h-a-y-a" she mouthed
Bader moved away and said in a quiet voice "yaraby hathee eshtabee? lazgaa etmout 3alaina" I laughed at his comment, It made my day. He made my day.
