Welcome to reality- Chapter 33:

"Yasmeen, Yallah goumay" My mother kept nagging over my head.


"mama, khaleeny.. orientation mu elyoum, next week" I said while covering my head with the bed sheet


"7abeebty goumay 3indich dentist appointment ba3ad sa3a" My mother said


"laaa, mabee arou7" I said, I haven't slept all night


"yallah 7abeebty goumay" My mother said


"mama a5af arou7" I said, which is true i have this huge phobia of dentists.


"tabeen ayee ma3ach?" My mother asked me


"eee please&thankyou" I said, I know it sounds childish but someone always has to come with me for the dentist check up.


"ok yallah, breakfast is ready ta7at ban6erch bes lat6awleen" My mother said and with that she left the room.


I took a shower and changed into a white dress. I decided to keep my hair natural. It's the best feeling when you leave your hair to dry alone. It was a hot summers day.


 I went down stairs and ate french toast and orange juice while my mother drank her daily dose of coffee. After we finished we went to the dentist.


It's been so long since i've been out with my mother. Me and her all alone. It feels so good especially when she starts acting like a teenager.


We waited in the waiting room, It was a huge, modern building looking out on the sea. It was so beautiful aqua blue and the sky was clear not a single cloud in sight.


Then It was my turn, "tabeen ayee ma3ach da5el?" she said


"laa 3adee" I said


My dentist was obviously kuwaiti, He was about my dad's age. He checked on my teeth. Then gave me something to put on my teeth for a minute.


"shesmech?" He said


"yasmeen" I said


"Entay yasmeen 7abeebty you look like a good girl, don't get into peer pressure okay?" He said, omg wtf? I thought


"okay" I said and nodded my head


"hathee umich ele bara?" He asked


"ee" I said


"nadeeha abe akalimha" He said. As I was about to leave to call my mom he said "o ni6ray bara" I just nodded.


I called my mom and told her el dentist yabee eshoufha, She said "okay" and left inside.


I waited for 10 minutes just looking through magazines.The nurse told me to go inside, so I did and the dentist left his office.


"yasmeen, tadreen eshkither a7ibich right?" She asked, I'm guessing its a rhetorical question


I nodded.


"fichee 7aljich" She demanded. I did as I was told.


She looked at my teeth.


"Bas2elch so2al o jawbeeny eb 9ara7a" She said


"okay" I said








"you smoke?"She said with her eyes filled disapproval, pity and disgust.
