[FLASHBACKS]
*Shai5a: (*SHRIEKS*) AA 9ALO7!! OMG ya shagool walaht 3aleik!! shtsawee hnii??! mn mita wenta 3ndina?! leish ma dageit 3aley awal ma yeet?!
*Um 9alo7.. hatha S3od Al-- he's the only close friend i have here (*winks to s3od*). S3od, this is 9ale7 Al--, my cousin and 9adeeq el 6ofola.
9ale7: ya hala walla tsharafna.
*9ale7 entered his hotel room after meeting his friend with a mind drowned with thoughts. He had fun with Shai5a and S3od earlier, but he couldnt help noticing how s3od looked at shai5a. He noticed that shai5a was a bit too friendly with sa3od. She had male friends before but it was obvious that they were JUST friends. it's definitely not the case here. He didnt like that. She's his sister, and that "creep" is just playing with her emotions just like any other guy would. He has to stop this. He has to talk to shai5a.
*S3od: LeL7een ma gmtay yal dobba?!
Shai5a: sa3od i want to sleeep
Shai5a: ya3ni mara7 t6la3 3ashan agom?
S3od: ee gomay 5o entay labsa pj!
Shai5a: um.. la2 e6la3 aste7i.

*How are they going to see each other back home?!?
Shai5a: madry?? omg noo.. shlon chithi mashoofik kilyoum!
S3od: hmm.. we'll find a way. '3ada? 3asha? jam3eya? anywhere.
Shai5a didnt know what to say. She doesnt know how to sneak around in her outings or hide. In Manchester, she's go out in public holding his hand if she wanted. But this is kuwait. And she doesnt want people to be talking about her or her family to find out. She knows that they wont like it at all.
---------------------------------
The first few days back in kuwait were ofcourse all about family and friends. Both shai5a and s3od got busy with catching up with everybody. Talking on the phone and randomly texting, then by the 2nd week, it hit them. They had to go out somewhere. They missed each other.

S3od: 7abebty mo 9a7ya. yalla ka i just parked my car.
Shai5a: Im sitting wara kilish on the left.
The door opened to "Hello sir! welcome to Burger hub!".
He made his way to the table as shai5a was standing up to greet him.
She was wearing a simple short-sleeved navy dress with navy and white ballerinas and had a navy ribbon-like head band to support her silky hair.
Shai5a: ya hala oo '3ala! *gave him a mini hug*
S3od: hala 7abebtii. you look amazing btw.
Shai5a: 3yonik el amazing 7abeby.
Shai5a got her regular order of potato dumplings, Baby cheese, and red fanta on the side. While s3od got fried baby potatos, stuffed mushrooms, broad way, and coke.
They talked about random topics and laughed over memories from Manchester. Is it too soon to be missing it?

an hour or so passed before they decided its getting late. She hugged him good bye and went to her car. They talked on the phone until shai5a reached her uncle's house.
Shai5a: salam 3aleikum

3abody came running to hug his sister. He does that all the time. she hugged and kissed his cheek and off he went running after badory weld 5alha 3azez.

9ale7: a5ethlich basken enshalla. yalla 6l3ay ana barra.
Shai5a: yalla ok kani yaya.
Shai5a couldnt help but think what is it he wanted to talk about. She couldnt think of any relevant thing. But, then again, its 9ale7... expect the unexpected.
She climbed into the passenger seat and reached for her cousin in a hug.
Shai5a: 9aLooooo7!!! i missed you ALOT!!
9alo7: me too shorty.
Shai5a: zain yalla. you promised me love potion!
9ale7: you ordered me to promise you love potion!!
Shai5a: yeah well.. big diff. now MOVE *hehe*
9ale7: lol. habla mo 9a7ya.
He started driving in silence. It wasn't like him to just drive without making fun or teasing her about something. Something's not right.
Shai5a: so. wats up? what did you want to talk about. tara shway ga3d t5ari3ni.
He was driving in silence, looking at the road, as if gathering his thoughts on what to say.
moments passed and she was still waiting for him to talk.
Shai5a: 9alo7.. shfeek?! shisalfa?
9ale7: shayo5. shlon s3od?
Shai5a: *suddenly nervous* s3od? aa.. what about him?
9ale7: La ana sa2aLt shlona. mo shfeeh..
shai5a: eer.. he's good i guess..
9ale7: do you guess or do you know...?
shai5a felt suddenly a rush of heat through her body. Why is he asking those questions. He knows were friends. does he suspect anything?!? Shit, i knew i shouldnt have introduced him to s3od. shit i thought he would be open minded about this!
Shai5a: aa..
9ale7: its a simple question shai5a.
Shai5a: *shai5a?!?!?!* 9alo7 shino shfeek. the guy is fine. whats with the 3rd degree?!
9ale7: ok let me ask you this in another way.. is there something going on between you and him?
She was in shock. She definitely wasnt ready for this. The one thing she feared most.
Shai5a: haa....
she was gobsmacked. She didnt know what to say. her reaction let her off.
9ale7: listen shayo5. Im a reasonable guy. i've been thinking about how to talk to you about this for too long. min lama kint 3ndikum eb UK. What ever it is between you guys, it has to stop. your parents didnt send you to UK 3ashan tsaween hashay. entay ray7a minnak 7ag derasa. law ay a7ad dara 3an hashay mo min 9aL7ich. I could have made it a big problem oo went after the guy and threaten him to end it, bas your my sister.
Shai5a: bas 9alo7 there is nothing betwee....
9ale7: latgoolen mabeinkum shay. its obvious. i saw how he looked at you. and i really didnt like it.
shai5a: *trembling voice* 9alo7.. he's.. not.. bad...
9ale7: shayo5 i know how guys think. and he's a guy. Latgoleli hatha '3air wella mo '3air. kil eL 9bayan naf elshay.
Shai5a: *chokes* ya3ni enta chithi?
9ale7: *snaps* Mo ga3d atkalam 3an nafsi ana!!
shai5a was taken aback by his sudden growl. he never did that before. This was definitely the first time she hears him snap at her. she couldnt fight the tears anymore. they ran down her cheeks like a waterfall. Is this the end? is this how her relationship with s3od stops?
-----------------------------------
not my best work, madri shfeni.. This wasnt supposed to take this long ;$ sorry to keep you waiting ;*
hope its worth it.
