Beauty and the Knight ± Chapter 3

Khalid: Shaikha 

i just stood there speechless and shivering i didn't know what to say back, i just looked at maitha and she had this wide smile on her face 

Maitha: Shaikha this is khalid and he was asking about you 

Me: Wa...

Khalid: Heih kent abach entee teen not maitha when i was waving 

Maitha: bakhaleekom ana, get to know each other

Me: Maitha la2 

Khalid: Shaklha matiba etam roo7ha . . hmm can i give you my pin or you give me yours  to get to know each other over BBM

Me: haa..

Maitha: Women he wants your pin !

Khalid: {laughs} shway shway 3aleiha 3an takleynha 

Me: mmm give me your pin and i'll add you

Khalid: okay 2996F...

Me: okay

Khalid: Mb matsaweyn add, i'm waiting for your request 

Maitha: {laughs} don't worry i'll make her save it now!

Me: wallaah i did! 

Khalid: {laughs} yalla you girls take care it was nice meeting you 

At that moment all i wanted to do was slap Maitha and bury her alive, i just could not look at him for the last time, i turned back and watched him leave.

Maitha: Look who's crazy in love

Me: What did u do that for!

Maitha: have you seen the way you guys looked at each other?

Me: What do you mean?

Maitha: Shawakhy i have never seen you this way before not even with mayed

Me: OH MY GOD! Mayed will kill me if i added Khalid on my BBM!

Maitha: He'll never know 

After that i immediately left the carnival and head back home, i stayed with my family for a while then head to my room, and did the usual got into my PJ's put my bag where it belongs, my shoes in the cabinet and got into bed, and called mayed. 

To be honest throughout my conversation with Mayed all i had in mind was Khalid. My mind wandered around a lot, Mayed just assumed that I was sleepy so he closed. After that my phone wouldn't stop vibrating i knew it was Maitha. . .

Me: fine then if he says something you explain this i won't

i felt guilty not telling my boyfriend that i'm going to a carnival that is filled with guys from all over the country, we've been together for 3 years now and i've always been honest with him and told him everything, i didn't want to keep one stupid thing from him, but i had to !

my phone has been vibrating throughout the whole day my friends were too excited for this stupid carnival, i wasn't at all ! so i had to get ready and leave but i was to lazy !

{phone rings}

Me: See you girls there 

Maitha: Ciao loser

Me:{laughs} Bye 

I went and got ready, i wasn't really in the mood to go to this carnival but when it comes to dressing up i had to look my best, even though i had to wear my abaya on top of wat i'm wearing it's still important to look my best for myself, wore my clothes, got my Chanel bag ready had my make up done, wore my loafers and off i went to the carnival.

Maith: so they won't get suspicious 

Shaikha: Okay!

i got there made hend leave her boyfriend and come, we got in and met with the girls.. we ate everything, i seriously felt like a pig walking around..

Then it came to this game everyone was surrounding it . . 

we had to go and check it out .. i had to keep my distance incase someone from mayed's friends saw me 

watching the boys being hit by paintball guns was entertaining until that voice caught my attention 

Voice: SAIFO!  BALAK TAT9L 7SHARTNY  ! 

i just looked towards where that voice came and saw him, walking towards his friends with a big smile,bright teeth and an amazing body! it just felt like we were the only two in this world 

Maitha: I spy with my little eye mr hottie in a yellow polo shirt

Hend: OMG SO HOTT! 

Fatma: Look at his body

Hend: tell me about it 

Me: You guys are crazy 

Hamda:  Shaikha way are you always like that u seriously need to loosen up girl!

Me: {laughs} its the way i am 

Shaima: come on i saw you staring at him

Me: yeh only cuz he scared the hell out of me 

Maitha: i think he's going to join his friends, lets go play and hit him!

Fatma: yaah yalla enseeer please it'll be fun

Me: you guys go i'll stay here watch you girls

Hamda: god shaikha ur always a party pooper 

they all went, i just couldn't help it, it just unintentionally happened i just went towards where my friends were and stood right in front of him.

Maitha: Batl3been????

Me: yah

Maitha: then we'll be a team of three not two

Guy: nzain entu faree8 ou rab3kom faree8

Maitha: {laughs} low sama7t mumken traweeha kayf yesta3milona

Guy: haih akeed
Guy2: Saifo seer enteh sw 7ag hatheilak ana barawiha kayf

i felt my heart like skipping a beat, he was tall, probably cuz i'm short but standing close to him made my leg shake, this has never happened to me before not even when i first met mayed.

Guy2: 3raftee kayf?
Me: Shoo?
Maitha: Rames'ha bel englaizee her arabic is weak shway
Guy2: {laughs} ok, its easy to use u just aim and pull the trigger, let me show you. Saifo!

Me:{laughs} yah thank you but its too heavy
Khalid: do you want me to help you hold it up?
Me: ha? lalala its ok

i got the paint ball gun and saw khalid looking at me with a smile, why did i say no! i would've had a stupid helpful moment like in the movies when two people who just met are playing pool with one another and showing the other how to play .. yes yes i knw hollywood has flipped my mind into one of its movies.

Khalid: will you handle the paintball gun?
Me: {laughs} Of course

i just started aiming anywhere and Khalid was screaming " 9awbi 3a hathak " i didn't even know if i was doing the right thing..

it was a stupid entertaining game but my time with khalid had to end, i looked at him for the last time smiled and said thank you..
We went around to grab something to drink at our friends cafe, we sat there for a while spoke, to my surprise khalid was right in front of me and was waving i didn't know if he was waving to me or to maitha i just looked at her, we were both shocked

Me:  is he waving at as?
Maitha:  I don't know i just checked behind us and no one is there
Me: yah me too
Maitha: should i go?
Me: yah but don't make it obvious in front of gom fa6amy, shaima and 7amda

Khalid: Shaikha 

* * *

Beauty and the Knight ± Chapter 1

Whoever thought that I will end up with him
out of all these girls i was the one;

i remember it as it was yesterday being forced to go to a carnival i wasn't looking forward for..

i remember just looking at him from a distance with his big smile . . bright teeth . . that amazing fit body

i didn't want to get close to him . .

Maitha and Hend my two best friends had to play a human paintball game i didn't want to,
i just wanted to stand there and look at him..

I spotted him going to his friends where the paintball was, unintentionally i just went there and told my friends i wanted to play. .

i remember maitha looking at a guy and say" we'll be three not two " the other guy was preparing the guns and he was just looking at me and smiling i can never forget they way i felt that day

i remember him looking at me with his killer smile and says " will u handle the paintball gun " i just remember laughing and turning red . . .

Maitha and Hend also went crazy over him, i just had to keep it to myself without going crazy like they did in front of them ..

Well here goes,
My name is Shaikha and this is the story on how i met the man of my dreams Khalid

'Til death do us part - Chapter 34 (Finale 2/2)

* 2 years later *

He suddenly couldn't breath i saw his face turn blue i had to rush him to the hospital .. i called abdulrahman crying and screaming telling him our son is dying.. Hamad is only 3 months old .. They took my baby away i rushed behind the doctors they wouldnt let me in but i had to i forced myself.. I can hear abdulrahman's voice ovetside screaming

" I will do anything for you to save my son! "

i looked around me and saw three nurses were trying to calm me down. Just looking at my son on a bed in front of me not moving kills me .. the nurse grabbed my hand and kept saying 

" stay strong he will be fine "

As she tried to calm me down i shut my eyes and just started praying to god .. i suddenly heard a long beep I knew it i knew he died but i was to scared to open my eyes and face it. Tears started rushing down i heard abdulrahman shout 

" Jawaher ! " 

i opened my eyes saw his face turning red i looked at him and said 

" 7amad mat ? "

Abdulrahman grabbed me and took me out and told me 

" 6ayr min 6yoor al jana nshalla " 

i was in so much shock that when i got home Ahmed was asking me about his little brother i couldn't even respond i didn't know what to say or how would i explain to a three year old his baby brother died ..

My step-mom and my dad rushed to the house my step mom cried so much the only thing i can say to her Abdulrahman told me was   

" 6ayr min 6yoor aljana nshalla " 

Abdulrahman and I stayed strong as our families came to us .. we didn't want a funeral or anything we just wanted to be with our family..  

No matter wat happens .. no matter what Abdulrahman and i go through nothing will break us we would always stay strong .. We know our son is in a better place now .. and it was a challenge from god for us to see how patient we are..

Life goes on and we had to tell Ahmed that Hamad is with god and we will see him someday nshalla.

And no matter challenges Abdulrahman and I have nothing other than death would tear us part..

'Til death do us part - Chapter 33 (Finale 1/2)

2011 ended really bad with the split up of Abdulrahman and I, but 2012 is even worse.. fighting for custody, arguments between both families.. However Ahmed and i haven't spoken .. In mid February i won sole custody of Ahmed.. When the judge told us that i first turned around and looked at Abdulrahman, his face was pale and blank.. i teared up just looking at him, he looked at me smiled and walked away.. who ever knew that after one year of getting married I'd be a single about to be divorced mother.. I never wanted this to happen.. our families being so stubborn causing all this.. i love Abdulrahman and i do want him back, if he doesnt want me i'd rather have shared custody than sole custody of Ahmed.. My baby needs to be with his father !


Me: Ubooya mumkn aklm Abdulra7man shwy
Dad: La2

Me: No dad i have to, no matter wat he's still the father of me son!

Dad: Jawaher geltlij la2

Me: You can't make me .. Abdulra7man!

Dad: Jawaher!

I ran to Abdulrahman held his hand and told him

" no matter wat i'll always love you, ur the love of my life and the father of my son,  non of our parents can do anything to make us live apart i know you dont want me anymore but we still have a7mad and he's the only one who'll keep as connected to each other "

Abdulrahman: I'll always love you jawaher, but you already signed the divorce papers, I'm on my way to sign them now thats wat our parents want, u'll be a good mother to a7mad lat7ateen

Dad: Yes jawaher he's doing the right thing 

Me: No he's not! abdulra7man i love u can't live without you, a7mad needs his father in his life ! hes almost 1 now he needs you ! Dad do something please ! dont ruin the life i always wanted, i was happy with abdulra7man how could one thing just do all this to us !

Abdulrahman: 3ami..

Dad: Tbaha el bent?

Abdulrahman: Haih 

Abdulrahmans Dad: Abdulrahman mt2akd ?

Abdulrahman: Haih ubooyh

Dad: 3eyal twaklo

'Til death do us part - Chapter 32

Standing in front of the judge, 

Fighting for my sons custody,

I never thought things would lead to this 

One stupid lie

And everything changed.. 

I knew i shouldn't have believed him 

I thought we were brothers

This is what he has done to me..

He ruined my marriage and my family

I knew Jawaher would never do such a thing 

I knew i should've believed her..

God she's my wife, Or should i say was..

Whats done is done..

I lost my wife..

And now I'm about to lose my son..

This wasn't suppose to be like this..

She's not even looking at me..

Not a glimpse.

*****************************

If only he knew how much i loved him..

If only he would believe me 

Abdulrahman was the love of my life 

How could he believe Marwan

I knew it was a mistake hiding what Marwan did to me 

But why would i risk my marriage and bring up something like that..

God i just wish i told Abdulrahman..

We wouldn't be here right now..

I can never hate Abdulrahman ..

It wasn't his mistake for hitting me ..

He was just mad..

I don't know if i'm just saying this 

Or I'm saying this cuz i still do love him..

Look at us in a room together, 

I can't even try to look at him..

I'm so scared

I don't want to lose Ahmed 

Or Abdulrahman

But i'm sure he no longer wants me..

I'm trying so hard to be strong..
