Beauty and the Knight ± Chapter 10

I just sat there with the Bin X and my family quiet, haven't spoken a word just wondering why Khalid did not show up. His twin sisters {Reem & Mariam} just looked at me the whole time with a smile, which made me feel very uncomfortable, it was like they knew that Khalid and I are in contact or something.
The men sat on one side of the majlis and us ladies sat on the other side. I can see Khalid's brother Mohammed just starring at me also.

What is wrong with this family!
Do they all just stare at the big elephant in the room!

I looked at my phone, Khalid didn't contact me.
Was he one of those guys that spends a day with a girl and throws her away.
I felt broken from the inside.

Mom: Shaikha t3alee ylsy ma3a Reem ww Mariam.
Reem: Heih t3alee
Mom: Shaikha mb min 3adtch ma titkalmein


it felt so awkward usually i'm the social one and loves getting to know people especially over dinner and parties.

So i sat with Reem and Mariam and got to know them. Both 19, identical twins, and they're both medical students.

Mom gave me the look to go check on dinner i went to the dinning room, saw the male house staff preparing the table, putting the food on the table the female staff are preparing the drinks, when i suddenly heard a loud voice coming from the main majlis where they all were sitting. A majls that has men obviously will be loud. I continued looking around making sure everything was in place, then left the dining room.
Went into the majlis whispered in my mom's ear the dinner is ready.

Mom: il 3isha jahz, tfathlo

I stood where my mom was while she escorted them to the dining room, and following her was my dad, i just wanted to quietly leave the place without anyone noticing.

Khalaf: Mashallah keif Shaikha kebrat, khalid tathkr yoom kento tel3boon wiyab3th
Khalid: Heih r7na ba3ad elmkhayem mal tennis fe brai6ania

i was so shocked that the only thing i did was glare at Khalid, while he looked at me with an evil grin on his face.
No wonder i suddenly heard all the mens voice getting loud it was because of him!!!

I changed  my mind, i wasn't gonna leave the place while Khalid is here. I went straight to the dining room while the men were washing their hands. As we all started having dinner i sat between the twins and next to one of the twins was Khalid.

Reem: So what are you planning on majoring in
Me: Interior design
Mariam: That's nice
Reem: So we'll have two doctors, a lawyer and an interior designer in the family.
Khalid: Reem!
Reem: Shoo?
Mariam: Where are you planning on studying.
Me: For now i'm thinking of A.U.S
Khalid: Why A.U.S?
Reem: Al jam3a zeina
Khalid: Ma7d kalamj
Mariam: Bas 3ad ntoo alithnain, they always argue
Me: {laughs} its ok
Khalid: AUS is too far for you why don't you study in Zayed Uni?
Me: Zayed is a waste of time with the 2 year general course and also my arabic is really weak and homa wayed mshadideen fil 3arabi
Khalid: 9a7 9a7


The rest of the night went by so fast but it was amazing, more of the best two days of my life i spent with Khalid, even though he was in one side of the majlis and i was on the other we both gave each other looks and smiled. From being heart broken he just got me back to the person i was with him this morning.

{later that night}

Khalid Bin X: A day well spent ha ?

I rushed to my bed grabbed my bb and looked for khalid, but he wasn't on my list any more.
I tried calling him, texting him, he wouldn't pickup his other phone was off and he didn't reply back to any of my msgs the whole night.

WTH is going on . . .
