Beauty and the Knight ± Chapter 11

Its been two weeks already and i haven't heard a word from Khalid.
Was it something i've done that night?
Was it that days i spent with him?
I haven't been eating, barley slept
And not only that; i missed my match with one of the best players in the region!
I don't know what to do.
I don't know any of his friends.
I can't ask his sisters.
There is no hope in contacting him in any way!
I'm just so depressed, heart broken, and confused
I don't understand why he did that..

Mom: Sheikha! Ntee msh 6abee3iya ! khabreeni shoo feej!
Me: Wla shei mama
Mom: La takleen wla t6l3een choofee weyhij keif '3da 3anaboo! 7ad gayel lij shei?
Me: La.. I'm fine wallah
Mom: Mshh 6abee3eya
Me: (smiled) mama its just a post uni phase don't worry
Mom: Keif ya3ni
Me: Mama ya3ni the change of life style from school to uni
Mom: 3adeh mb chy! goomi goomi yalla khaleena enseer mkan ana wnty..
Me: ma..
Mom: Latnaqsheeni ! Yallah!

i had no choice so i got up; threw on any abaya wore my hermes slippers, picked up any bag infront of me and went downstairs.

Me: Rita go tell mama i'm downstairs

Rita was a maid who's been working with us for almost 20 years now

Mom: Sheikha 7a6ii shei 3a weyhj chy  bat6l3een
Me: im not in the mood mama
Mom: Seery fog wt3adlay
Me: maba mama please
Mom: Sheikha latkhaleeni a3a9b
Me: fine fine..

so i went upstairs applied some mascara, lipstick and some blusher on and went down to the car

Mom: heih chy zein! khabreeni wein tbein troo7ein
Me: anywhere mom
Mom: la2 goolee
Me: hmm its summer so i guess lets go somewhere indoors
Mom: okay wein tbein
Me: lets go to any hotels you prefer
Mom: ok khalas khalna enroo7 fndq Xz

on our way to Xz Hotel my mom was talking to her best friend " Khalo Noora" about how i've been and that now we're going to have brunch.
So we got there and sat for a bit 'til Khalo Noora arrives.
Spoke a bit about my studies.
My mother suddenly started smiling and waving.
I knew it was Khalo Noora, my mom would never be excited unless it was khalo noora.

Mom: Shawa5y hathoo Khalid Bin X
Me: Ha!
Mom: Khalid elai yo yt3ashon 3dna min isbo3ein

i turned around instantly and he was right behind me!
My heart started pounding so fast..
I was just so blank that i felt like i couldn't breath.

Khalid: Salam 3aleij khalo
Me: Khalid!

He looked at me with a smile and with a raised eyebrow

Mom: Heih Khalid cheif7alek 7abeebee
Khalid: Bkhei...

and thats when everything infront of me was black
and the last this i remembered..
