CHAPTER 42









previously,

i lost majed and i lost my happiness. i tried to smile, i tried to pretend that i'm fine but i couldn't, i end up crying every day. its summer w i should be having the greatest time of my life, but i'm not. i set everyday on the beach thinking of him when i shouldn't... i gave mama my answer about faisal.








the first time mama asked me about my opinion about getting married i told her i don't want to. and after one and a half month i told her the same. she said its my life w law i don't want him its fine w i'm still young w mn hatha el 7ake...

my whole summer was about majed. only majed.

one of the mornings dana came to me.

dana: 9a7aite?

me: eewa

dana: we're going to spend the weekend 3end turki

me: meen el we?

me: i don't want to

dana: lina, what your doing to yourself is not going to bring him back

me: ...

dana: so live your life, tell me if you change your mind

me: ...

i sat there thinking about him more and more and i actually got sick of it, i'm here thinking of him w he didn't even bother himself asking about me. i wanted to at least smile again like i used to so i called my brother.

turki: aloo

me: hi

me: i miss you

turki: i just saw you two days ago

me: ok i don't miss you

my relationship with my brother is different of any other relationship between two siblings, i tell him everything i never hide anything from him. i talk about hot guys, his friends 3aade lol bs i never told him that i'm with some guy and i don't think i can tell him something like that.

me: i'm fine bs i really missed you

turki: yalla then come to me

we talked b3dain he hanged up 3ashan his friends came over w i went to dana to tell her that i'm going with them. she jumped out the sofa and hugged me for no reason lol. i love her :p

we went to our room packed our stuff. my brother lives in an apartment in beverly hills. lama we drove off to my brother it was 5:00 pm, we should be there in 25 minutes bs we got stuck in the traffic :)

lama we arrived we stayed in the apartment. we wanted to go shopping bs everything ysaker at 6:00 pm so we went to some restaurant instead.

 its just perfect for shopping, i do need some shopping to have some fun with the girls.

me and the girls went to rodeo drive, we shopped the whole morning then we went back to my brother and my cousins. my brother wanted to do some shopping as well, so he asked me to go with him.

we were walking lama he asked me about faisal.

turki: kaif el jaam3a?

i nodded.

i tried to act as normal as i could in front of him 3ashan ma y7s w i think i acted pretty good. i helped him to pick some shirts and stuff w he also bought me things to. i enjoyed my afternoon with him. he wanted to eat something so we went to some cafe w lama we sat on our table i told turki i'm going to wash my hand w i went to the restroom. few minutes later i turned back to our table w i saw him talking to some guy. he was talking to the guy w at the same time he was looking, smiling at me, i didn't want to look stupid standing all alone be3eed so i went to our table.

and guess who's the guy?


its salman. faisal's cousin.


turki: ha liin

i smiled and i looked down to my phone like if someone was talking to me lol.

salman: ok ajal ana a5leek al7een bs mer 3laina el yoom

turki got his snack lol w i got my coffee, we were talking about random stuff w he told me that his girlfriend is here law i want to meet her lol. they've been together for five years now. we talk about everything we don't hide anything from each other at all as you see bs i just felt awkward this time lama he talked about her.

dana called me to tell me that we're going to the cinema tonight so we went back to the apartment to get some rest. we actually didn't with all the laugh lol, my brother was trying his new clothes, he start making me laugh by doing his own fashion show. i actually laughed for real, it was a lot of fun with him. i missed him being around the whole time...

 he finished his fashion show lol o i went to my room to change my clothes.

lama we came to california i changed my sim card w i put my saudi sim card in another phone incase law majed called or texted me and i checked on my phone awal ma i got to the room w i saw a text message. my heart start pumping. could it be from him?

i unlocked my phone and i stared at the icon for about 2 minutes then i opened my inbox.



"hi lina kaifk? 3aash meen shaafk :p. umm anyway i just wanna say hi. have fun in L.A. sorry i disturbed you. -Salman"
