Mother: Na3am?! Mno hatha balah?
Lamees: …. *cries*
Mother: golili mnoo?!
Lamees: Bader.
Mother: Ay Bader?! Laykon Bader il Flani!???!
Lamees: ee Yuma.
Mother: MIn sijich intay!? deray balich! matadreen ina mo mithil
math’habna?! Latsaween mithil masawat i5tich!!! Laykon tkalmeeena b3ad?!

Mother: shofay Lamees la a3arf ib yom lich 3elaqa feeh aw shay! Yawailich itha kalamteeh! shal 5arabee6! Deray balich inzain!!!
Lamees couldnt believe her ears. What was the big deal!? Just when she thought her life couldnt suck any more it did. “Shsawee ya3ni, galbi faz 7ag hatha oo bethaat hatha!” She sat quite during the whole ride with her mom, and her mom lecturing her on mathaheb oo hal 5arabee6 that lamees didnt find that important.
————————————————————————————-
Lamees: Shsawee ya3ni i cant stop thinking about him!!!
Said lamees to her best friend and cousin, she told her what had happened between her and her mother. And how Bader went off to london. And how painful that was not having to see him around anymore or hear anything about him.
Mariam: walla il 3atheem intay madri shlon sayra.
Lamees: shno laish?
Mariam: shloon t7eben wa7ed ma3umrich kalamteeeh!!?
Lamees: ee shno mo shar6 i could feel ina hes the one!
Mariam: wala mu 7ub hatha sadgeeni.. il 7ub iyee min il 3ishra inich tkalmeen wa7ed kilyom itshofena shga3ed esawe meta inam o mita igom min il noom oo it7ateena itha akal wela la.
Lamees: mo shar6 maryoom. I see him almost every week, bel shahar cham mara. I see how he is i observe him with his cousins and parents. i could tell hes an amazing guy it shows!
Mariam: madrii bas ana asameeh hatha 7ub afla6ooniii!! mo siji!! its just a crush believe me!
Lamees: just a crush !!! shlon just a crush?! u see me ana im always thinkng about him he is always on my mind!!!
Mariam: madri wala, maybe ur different. I dont know isara7a.
7ub afla6ooni?! Thought lamees, shlon ya3ni i dont really love him. Hes been on my mind for 4 years, hes been the guy ili i always see in my dreams, shlon its not real!?
But she was more doubtful than she thought, mariams words sank in harder than she thought she began to question weather if it was just a crush or an obsession or true love. It was her final year in highschool, and its been months since hes been gone and she had heard nothing from him. No matter how hard she tried to get news from her sisters or his cousins, she just couldnt get anything out of them.
————————————————————————————-
Time passed and Lamees went to college where she met many guys here and there, she tried to get Bader off of her mind but she couldnt she just pretended that he didnt exist anymore. She was 18, and guys came from allover either proposing or simply te7eresh. She didnt want anyone in her life, her mind thought that she should have fun during this time, go wild, meet guys, get crazy. But she knew deep down in her heart Bader still set camp in there, and was lighting a bon fire, that surely made her heart burn by the thought of him.
One of those memorable nights, Lamees was chatting on msn with her friends, one of her friends was Bader’s “more than the usual slutty cousin”, who was telling her how she had feelings to one of her relatives and that she was trying to “it6ay7a” but couldnt cuz ohwa mayabeeha. EE FIHMAY!! mako fayda.
Sara: abaih Lamees shsawee mayabeeni.
Lamees: its ok hun, ako many fish in the sea shma3na hatha.

Sara: Badoor, hes in london my cuzn, t3arfeena sa7.

Lamees: umm, madri la fashla i dont know him 3adil.

Bader was invited to the convo. and saw the big fat LAAAA!!

Sara: Its Lamees i5it Mays mort 5ali m7amad.
Bader: oooh hi Lamees shlonich.

And finally they said their first words to each other, and here the story of Bader and Lamees begins.
