Every arab girl wishes to have that fairytale proposal not just any typical arab proposal mother of the groom shows up and chooses the girl for him.. oh well you know the rest. I got my fairytale proposal in disneyland, i just feel the luckiest girl on earth right now. He held my hand and said " Forever is all i want " I looked at him with tears in my eyes shaking not knowing what to say.. The first thing that came to my mind was " Does my parents know about this proposal " i thought to myself never in a million years would they know about a thing like this. But my mom left me here in France with him, so i looked at Khalid in the eye and said " Do my parents know about us ? " he looked at me with a smile and said..
They do know i want you.
They do know i want to marry you
They will be talking to you soon about us getting married
And yes they do know
I just want to know the answer
I looked at him confused, happy, filled with tears, i just don't know how to feel right know i looked at him smiled and said " Yes "
With everyone cheering, and congratulating us felt like i was in one of those typical "Love" movies. It all passed by so quick and just like a dream. Is this finally it Khalid and I are officially engaged? Well not officially but WE ARE ENGAGED! I was filled with joy and happiness after we left the park and went to the hotel we started planning our honeymoon, family, naming our children we were just so happy.
Me: How did you even plan all of that!!
Khalid: I have my people
Me: *laughs* So my parents..
Khalid: Well my mom spoke to your mom about us
Me: What do you mean by ?
Khalid: Like galatlha neba n56b Sheikha for Khalid
Me: Ohh what did my parents say ?
Khalid: 6ab3an yes but they were like min nrja3 min alsifar bankalm Shaikha
Me: And what about today was it planned before you came here
Khalid: No but i know how you always loved those "western" proposals so i just had to make a dream of yours come true
Me: You just make me fall in love with you more everyday
Khalid: *laughs*

We woke up the next day packed our stuff and headed to the train station to leave for london
I was still shocked from yesterday's proposal, khalid and i agreed on not telling anyone about it not even our close friends.
As we reached london i felt so down for not spending the next part of the trip with Khalid. So we got in the taxi and head to the apartment, we got there and typical mom wasn't there nor was my sister well i just came to an empty apartment. Khalid haven't left my side he stayed with me in the apartment, i started unpacking my things and khalid sat in the living room watching TV.
*door closes*
(Manly voice) : Al7amdila 3al salamih! Tawha ma nawrat landan!
Khalid: Hala hala 3amee
Sh*t! i thought to myself thats my dad !
i ran out being all innocent,
Me: Baaabaatteeee
Dad: Shaikho ! weinch ilbar7h galoli sheikha mrgadh
Me: ha? mta
Dad: ilbar7h around 11 at night
Me: ohhh yaaaa! i was so tired baba so i slept
Thank god mom covered up for me; even Khalid had this confused face, so i didn't want to make things more weird around here i just went to my but you know i have to ears drop on their conversation
Dad: Khalid shu'tsawy hneee
Khaled: Wallah 3amee r7t al fndiq basawee check in galilee '3erfaty mob zahbeh fa got baay a salem 3a Khalo chft..
Dad: Shu tasken f'fndq yemeeee3 el '3raf 3dna
Khaled: 3ami mashkoor bas
Dad: mashay inteh eb 7isbat wldy
Khaled: la wallah 3ami matga9r bas ma baya5thoon ra7at'hom el banat
Dad: la7'6a SHAIKHA!
Me: Na3am babaaa
Dad: ta3alee
i went pretending to be clueless on what is going on; dad had this look on his face with an eyebrow raised
Dad: Shaikha yilsee 7abeebty aba akalmch fi maw'6oo3
Khaled: Ana batra5a9 3amee
Dad: Lala tim yals esma3 el rad mnha
Me: *confused* shoo mstwy baba
Dad: Shaikha 7abeebtee Khaled mtqadmlch; ma7ad bay'39bch ma7ad baygoolch shoo tsaween its all in your hands, take your time wistkheery and let me and khaled know
Me: *tearing* baba
Khaled: 3ami ana batwakal yta9loli mn el fndq
Dad: Khaled 7alef 3alaik matskn f'fndq
Khaled: 3amee...
Dad: Shaikha abach tet3arefain 3ala khaled akthar; fa ana gltlh yaskn 3dna, 3ashan t3arfoon a6ba3kom keif 3aysheen weya ba3a'6.
Dad started talking even more and just that coming from him made me feel like crying so much i looked at khaled he had this blank look dad was talking and he was just nodding i got up left to my room and stayed there. A day before i was just so happy being engaged to Khaled, why did i tear up when dad spoke to me about it? Why am i feeling this way?
