I left the kitchen and went to the living room, I turned the TV on and watched what was playing, I wasn't interested at all I was just wasting some time,
My phone dinged, a WhatsApp notification from Musaab,

Musaab laughed: "wsh wdk enti 6yb?"

Kelly came with a tray of my breakfast. I smiled,
Musaab: "wsh tna6'reen?"
Me: "ja f6ouri, 5la9 bye aklmk etha 5l9t akl"
Musaab: "klmeeni w enti takleen"
Kelly: "who is this?"
Me: "this is Musaab, you can say hi"
I flipped the camera,
Kelly: "no no, don't take pictures of me, just tell him I said hi, you talk to boyfriend ha?"
I flipped the camera again,
Me: "no Kelly wsho boyfriend" I laughed hard, "he is my fiancé!"
Kelly hit her head: "yes yes I remember when he came with his mom and sisters!"
Me: "yeah"
She smiled and left,
Musaab: "ya 7leelha" he laughed,
Me: "eeh wallah ya 7leelha" I smiled, "bs yallah 6s abi akl"
Musaab: "mu9era y3ni?"
Me: "eeh, a7akeek etha 5l9t, ma a3rf a7ki w ana akl"
Musaab: "5la9 ajal banam ana"

Me: "t6l3 mn nfs'ha he, la tgouli agoulha"
Musaab laughed: "6yb"
Me: "5la9 bye!"
Musaab: "bye, a7bk!"
I smiled as I hung up to eat my breakfast, once I was done, I went back upstairs and waited for either Esraa or Alia to wake up, I called the both of them a lot, WhatsApped them as well, but it looked like they both were in a very deep sleep.
At 3 PM, Esraa picked me up and we went shopping to buy me a dress for her milka in about a month, but I found nothing, so we went to have lunch at some restaurant. My phone dinged and it was a WhatsApp notification from Musaab,
Musaab:

I left my phone and spent some time with Esraa. She dropped me at my grandmother's house once we were done and I found them still eating,
Me: "lw adri enkum ma b3d 5l9tu kan mreet Starbucks!"
Aunt Yasmine: "agoul 3n eldl3, w t3ali ejlsi m3na"
Me: "5alti Yasmine, tdreen eni ma a7b elsmk!"
Aunt Yasmine: "eeh w kl el3ayla tdri b3d, ejlsi m3na bs mub 6'ark"
I sat next to Alia,

Alia: "leeh wsh 3ndk?"
Me: "wla shay bs ma a7b ajls ketha, goumi n6l3 foug"
Alia: "abl3 el lugma 6yb"

Alia: "bukra n6l3 ana wyak"

Alia: "kaifk"
Me: "bsr3a yallah 3ndi swaleef!"
Alia: "eeh gouli 3ndi swaleef! Jalsa foug rasi mn awal!"
Me: "yallah ana al7gk"
I went upstairs and waited for Alia to come, I unlocked my phone and saw a WhatsApp notification from Musaab,
Musaab:

Judy:

He read my message and left me on read. I waited for Alia to come and we talked, I actually didn't have so much to tell but I just wanted to catch up.
We watched Grey's Anatomy latest episode together, as always.
Alia: "t5yli en hatha a5r episode bl season!"
Me: "wsh aswi 6yb?"
Alia: "tara 9dg 7lu! Ma adri shloun ma ttfrjeena!"
Me: "mu thak elzoud Alia, I'm not interested in medicine"
Alia: "you will, bs tfrjeeh!"
Me: "ra7t 3leek, I already made my decision"
Alia: "wsh tbeen?"
Me: "project management"
Alia: "eeh Allah ywafgk"
Me: "wyak 7beebti, yal doctora"
Alia: "yarab!"
It was already 10 PM so we all went back home. Musaab WhatsApped me,

Musaab:

I locked my phone and got up to brush my teeth and wear my pjs, I lit up a candle and tried to sleep. I couldn't, I spent 2 hours in my bed doing nothing, just staring at the ceiling…
I woke up a few hours later with a dry throat. I grabbed my phone to check the time and it was 3 AM, which was 5 PM according to Musaab's timezone in LA.
I sent him a WhatsApp message,
Judy:
R7t? 😂
I got up to get myself some water then laid on my bed again, I switched to Snapchat and watched my friends' stories, an hour passed and Musaab still hasn’t replied.
Judy:
Enjoy anyways
I locked my phone again and tried to sleep, an hour passed and I was still up staring at the ceiling again. My phone dinged, a WhatsApp message from Musaab.

Hello guys! I'm back again with a chapter longer than the usual!
I hope you enjoyed reading this, don’t forget to please send me your feedback!
+ don't you think that Musaab and Judy are arguing a little too much lately? 🤔
