And finally after years of treating Musaab as only a brother, I finally realized that I was actually falling for him all this time. I wasn't lying when I said I lost my best friend, I actually did because he's no longer a best friend only, he's way more than that. I smiled and slept while hugging my phone. I know this sounds childish, but I did.

I woke up the next day at around 5 PM. I had no idea why I overslept but no one woke me up. I washed up, prayed, and changed my clothes then went downstairs,

Me: "9ba7 el5eer yuma" I kissed her forehead, "ween baba?"

Mama smiled: "hala hala 9ba7 elnour w elsrour, obouk ra7 el supermarket yjeeb lna km 3'r6' w Faisal ra7 m3ah, t3ali eg3di jmbi"

I laughed: "wsh feek bzyada mstansa?"

Mama: "Musaab ma galk y3ni?"

I blushed at the mention of his name. I mean, HE DID IT!

Mama: "wsh feek est7aiti?" she laughed,

Me: "yuma ma a7b a7ki m3k bmwa6'ee3 ketha ysa7i!"

Mama laughed: "elli yray7k mar7 n7ki, mbyn wsh rdk a9ln, agoulhm yjoun bukra aw b3da?"

Me: "wsh feek mt7msa mara? 5la9 ana gltla ma nbi 56ba al7een ykfi ena gal l oma w enk dreeti, elbagi y9eer bl 9eef inshallah"

Mama: "yallah bs bla 7ki bzran, agoul lk el om klmtni agoul lha t3alu lna bl 9eef?"

I laughed: "yuma!"

Mama: "5la9 agoul lhm yjoun b3d bukra, bs Musaab byji m3hum y3ni mnha shoufha shr3iya mu t3aruf bs l2nna n3rfhum a9ln, m3 eni madri shoufa shr3iya 3la wsho bs yallah nslk lkum"

Me: "6b3n lazm shoufa shr3iya haw!"

Mama: "eeh nslk lkum agoul lk, wla ana elwd wdi nswi elmlka 3la 6oul"

Me: "lhdrja bathrtk w tbeen elfka?"

Mama: "abi ashoufkm m3 b36'" she winked,

Me: "ana shkli bgoum wallah"

Mama: "5la9 bskt bs 5leek!"

Me: "Faisal dra ena Musaab 56bni?"

Mama: "eeh w glt l abouk b3d"

Me: "wsh galu?"

Mama: "elshour shourk bl a5eer"

Me: "mama a7s yfashl madri"

Mama: "enti t7beena?"

Me: "a7ba" I said in a very low tone,

Mama: "wazeenhom el6ma6mat!"

Me: "mama!"

Mama: "adri enk t7beena" she smiled,

Me: "wsh drak?"

Mama: "mbayn mn zman" she smiled, "w ho y7bk b3d, myt 3leek wallah"

Me: "ummm"

Mama: "w ana el9adga, aw eni ana a7s l2ni om"

Me: "madri wsh d5l bs okay"

Mama: "y3ni ngoul mbrouk?"

Me: "gouli" I said in a very low tone as well,

My mom smiled very widely, as baba and Faisal came in,

Mama: "w ent ya Faisal ma wdk ttzwj w t9eer elfr7a fr7teen?"

Faisal: "ha yuma tbeen elfkka shklk wla wsho?"

Mama: "7ram afr7 b3yali?"

Faisal: "la 6b3n mub 7ram" he kissed her forehead then rubbed my hair, "w enti yal f93a wafgti 3la Musaab?" he laughed,

Baba: "ha yuba Judy tbeena?"

Me: "madri yuba kaifk"

Mama: "kathaba gbl shway gayltli enha tbeeh"

Faisal: "6l3ti t7beena ha? B3d kl hl m7arsh w elgazzat t7beena?" he laughed and rubbed my hair again,

Me: "Faisal eskt!" I blushed,

Faisal: "w3 la tst7een ma yloug 3leek!"

Me: "ana awreek ya 7ywan, ent e56b bs w hatha wjhi etha ma 6'7kt 3leek! Kl youm b6g6g 3leek!"

Faisal: "la bsmallah 3lay, la jeet atzwj ma btzwj a7d mn el3aila" he winked at me,

Me: "shfti yuma! Hatha awl sbb leesh ana akrh zwaj elagarb!"

Mama: "wsh 3leek mna enti y7aki nfsa, ahm shay s3adtk m3 meen tkoun"

Faisal: "3shtaw b3d s3ada w ma s3ada" he laughed,

Baba: "Faisal erkd shway"

Faisal tried to hide his laugh: "inshallah yuba"

Baba: "Judy yuba ma 3leek mna, enti al7een goleeli tbeena aw la?"

I looked at Faisal,

Baba: "Faisal e6l3 3'urftk"

Faisal: "a7!"

Baba: "btjls ejls b2dbk w bdoun ma t7arsh e5tk 5lha t3rf t7ki"

I stuck my tongue out at him,

Me: "eeh yuba" I finally said,

He got up and kissed my forehead,

Baba: "ajal etha enti elli tbeena ma ngdr nrdhom, mta wdk elshoufa?"

Me: "mama galtli ena elshoufa nfs youm elt3aruf, b3d bukra y9l7?"

Baba: "y9l7 leesh ma y9l7, elli tbeena by9eer inshallah" he smiled very widely,

Me: "shukran"

Mama: "adg 3la Fatima y3ni?"

Fatima is Musaab's mother,

Me: "mu al7een yuma fshla twhum dageen"

Mama: "3la asas enti w Musaab ma 7kaitu w 566tu 3la kl shay mn gblna y3ni? 5la9 kl a7d dara"

Me: "meen gal?"

Mama: "ho Musaab bnfsa 7akani, mu mthlk t5been 3lay w tst7een"

I blushed: "yuma yfashl 6yb! Ast7i agoul lk"

Faisal got up and kissed my forehead,

Faisal: "ho mn na7yt yfashl f ho jdn yfashl el9ra7a ma a5feek, bs mbrouk ya a3'la e5t 3ndi, ma yhm wsh 9ar w wsh by9eer bs e3rfi eni daymn bwgf b9fk w bkoun m3ak, w b7arshk shway" he laughed, "Musaab mn a3z elnas 3lay w a3rfa zeen, en jeena ll 7g f enti 3rfti t5tareen" he winked at me,

Me: "ho elli 3rf y5tar wallah" I winked back,

Faisal: "ma ymd7ounha tara"

Me: "mn he?"

Faisal: "elthga elzayda w shouft elnfs"

Me: "5la9 kl tbn 36eenak wjh"

Baba: "9dg 7mdellah w elshkr, 3lay 3yal madri shloun"

Mama: "yallah goumu mn 3ndi kl wa7d yrou7 3'rfta, abi a7aki Fatima!"

Me: "la yuma mu al7een!"

Faisal: "goumi he adra"

Me: "ma abi aban myta 3leeh w3"

We both got up and walked to the stairs,

Faisal: "meen w3? Musaab?" he laughed,

Me: "eeh! Ent b3d w3 yallah rou7 3'rftk!"

We were both at the second floor at this point while our parents were left downstairs alone to discuss about all this marriage thingy out with Aunt Fatima over the phone,

Faisal: "la wallah?" he raised an eyebrow,

Me: "n3m?!"

Faisal: "tbeen el9dg?"

Me: "la2!"

Faisal: "Allah y3een Musaab kana bya54 w7da munf9ma nfsk" he rubbed my hair for the millionth time today,

Me: "malk d5l, w mb g6wa ana tms7 3lay ketha" I hit his arm lightly,

Faisal: "wsh feek mtnrfza 6yb?"

Me: "madri"

Faisal: "agoul lk wsh tsween?"

Me: "wsho?" I carelessly said,

Faisal: "ed5li 3'rftk w 7aki 7beeb elglb, by6'b6 mzajk 9dgeeni, es2li mjrb!" he winked at me, entered his room and locked it,

I went to my room and WhatsApped him,

Judy:

La wallah?

Fa9ooli has a girl? ;)

Faisal:

Judy:

M9eerk tgouli a9lan

I switched to Musaab's chat,

His message was sent at around 11 AM,

Judy:

Musaab:

He called me,

Musaab: "z3lti 3lay?"

Me: "3adi, bs mara kan yfashl 59ou9n gdam Faisal w baba, y3ni lw ana w he l7alna btnbl3 shway"

Musaab laughed: "Faisal dara?"

I really wish you guys like Musaab and Judy as much as I do!

Plus, a simple comment never killed nobody. ;)

Calm Before the Storm: Chapter 19.

Previously:

Musaab: "elzbda Judy, tdreen b wsho nbi n7ki 6b3n"

Me: "hala?"

Musaab: "la tsween mu fahma, elklam elli gltlk eyah awal"

Musaab: "tmouteen lw ma kabrti, bs ana mt2kd enk n9aba"

I rolled my eyes and played with my nails,

Musaab: "ay klma?"

Me: "eni r5ee9a"

Musaab: "ma atwg3 bt3'l6een b shay kbeer, enti 3'l6ti w el3'l6 elli fat mu nfs ay 3'l6 ma kan y9l7 ytfwt"

I rolled my eyes as they watered but I blinked my tears in and acted like I was playing with my nails to avoid looking at him,

Musaab: "jawbeeni, 3'l6ti wla la2?"

Me: "Musaab eskt! La tjls t2nb 6'meeri 5la9 adri eni 3'l6t!"

He paused for a moment,

Musaab: "ana asf 6yb"

I was still playing with my nails and didn't look at him,

Musaab: "na6'reeni" I raised my head to look at him, "asf, ma kan g9di abd, w wallah enha kant mn wara glbi, bs tdreen wsh akthar shay ghrni?"

I remained silent,

Musaab: "eni bl bdaya knt a9br nfsi w agoul yallah inshallah y6l3 zeen w ytgdm lha, m3leesh ya Musaab, ymkn ent ma t7bha, w knt a7awl aw5r kl elmsha3r elli kant feeni tjahk, w agoul aham shay s3adt'ha, bs elmshkla enna b3dha byoumen shfnah b Bahrain m3 w7da thanya!

My eyes watered as I remained silent,

Musaab: "elmuhem, ma 3leena mn elli ra7, sam7teeni?"

I remained silent,

Musaab: "Judy"

Me: "ma z3alt mnk, bs z3alt mn elklma, l2ni 5lga kan wgt'ha e7sasi 5ra, used, cheap, and pitched, w foug hatha t9rufatk m3i ma g9rt, wla he elklma f3ln kant tou9fni"

Me: "kant 9dg aswa2 ftra b7yati!"

Musaab: "el7mdellah enha 3dt" he softly smiled,

We both remained silent for a minute,

Musaab: "feeh shay thani m6'aygk?"

Me: "agoul lk ent a5ouy, tbeeni atzwj a5ouy?" I went back to the harsh me,

Musaab: "3'aira Judy la tt34reen li bhl 34r"

Musaab: "w 7na jayeen nsm3 b36', gouli"

Musaab: "ha 6yb wsh glti? Aje a56b?"

Me: "ent ma tfhm?"

The waiter brought my coffee and left,

Musaab: "la ma afham, bsr3a mani m6wl bl Riyadh jawbeeni aje a56bk wla la?"

I laughed: "wallah lw eni m5boula w rakbni jni mar7 agoul lk t3al e56bni, w b3deen ana wsh y6'mni bukra ma tgoul mthl ma klmt gbl elzwaj btklm 3'eeri b3d elzwaj, ma ast7ml elnas elli tshk ana"

Musaab: "Judy"

Me: "n3m"

Musaab: "aw3dk ma bswi shay yz3lk bs 36eeni elfur9a elli athbt lk feeha!" he sincerely said,

I didn't know what to reply, so I just clicked the home button of my phone that was on the table and it was 10:45,

Me: "Musaab lazm amshi, omi gayltli arj3 gbl 11 w a5af m3 elz7ma at25r akthar"

Musaab: "wsh gayltlha enti?"

Me: "la shukran Raju t7t ynt6'rni" I looked around to call one of the waiter to bring the bill, "check please!"

Musaab: "rou7i ana bdf3"

Me: "wsho ma 6lbt shay ent ana 6alba ghwa"

Musaab: "gltlk rou7i bdf3 ana"

I looked at him,

Musaab: "ketha bs wdi adf3ha" he smiled,

Me: "6yb, bye w thank you again" I stood up and grabbed my purse,

Musaab: "3la wsho?"

Me: "3la kl shay"

Musaab: "y3ni a56b?"

Me: "wsh d5l al7een? I mean shukran 3la elbracelet, w 3la elghwa, bs!"

Musaab laughed: "eeh 3fwan"

I left. I saw Raju's car parked in front of the cafe so I hopped in and told him to take me back home. My phone dinged and it was a WhatsApp message from Musaab,

Musaab:

A7bk

I read the message over and over and smiled like an idiot as I got butterflies, the good ones. I badly wanted to tell him how much more I love him, but I just thanked him instead,

Judy:

Shukran

Musaab:

3fwan

Goleeli etha w9lti

I smiled and locked my phone. The whole ride was silent, I was deeply thinking about everything that just happened and laughed,

I WhatsApped Esraa,

Judy:

Lhdrja 7na twins nn56b bl wgt nfsa?

Only one tick showed so I knew she was asleep. I went back home and directly went to my bedroom. I washed up, wore my pjs and tucked myself under my bedsheets then unlocked my phone,
