Othman's heart beats accelerated and his legs became weak..
Othman knocked the door..
Hayouna: minuuu
Othman: ana yumma
Hayouna whispered: we ghubra 3asa ma sema3na!!!
Lujain: khal ydry yumma maskeen 10 sneen ne6arha!

Othman was not convinced with what his mother told him..
Noura: mawjodeen?
Othman: ee kahum nazleen
And all of a sudden Deema came with her husband and kids..
Deema: ahlaaainn
They kissed each other and sat down..
Othman whispered to deema's ear: mabrook
He was checking his mom's honesty..
Noura wonderingly: 3ala shinu?
Othman: egoloun 7amel!!
She giggled: haw!! Besmellah men meta ely e7amel akher man ya3lam? La walla ya wkhayye mu 7amel
Othman turned to Noura: noura! Ana baro7 meshwar 9gheer ou raaje3 lech!!
Noura: wain? Tawha badya lezwara?
Othman: barja3 enshallah!!!
He rushed to AlAmiri hospital..
He accelerated his steps to reach Basma's intensive room..
He opened the door to see an empty bed!!
He rushed to her doctor..
Othman: dektooor
The dr.: halaaa 3ethman shlounek?
Othman: eb khair el7emdellah
The dr.: el7emdellah 3ala salamat basma! Sub7an allah shouf qudrat rabbek
Othman could not believe his ears!!!
Othman: waainha dektoor!!
The dr.: rakha9naha elyom el9eb7!
Othman nodded and rushed to his car..
He went to aunt Sana house..
"Al7een shloun anzel? Anzel shagool!! Abe ashoofhaaa!!!"
His mobile rang..
Lujain: 3ethman wainek fee?
Othman: 3nd bait khalty sana!

He went back home..
Waleed: halaaa 3ethmaan
Othman: hala yuba shlounek?
Waleed: tamam bkhaairr!!
They sat together and ate dinner..
They were talking to each other, laughing and sharing a valued moments..
But Othman was absent minded with basma..
"3ala kether many mestanss bgomat basma a7aaty!! Shinu betkoon radat fe3elha la darat eny metzawej? Shinu bekoun ma9eery ma3aha!! Galbe may6awe3ny a6aleg hal faqeera noura! Malha thanb!!"

Lujain: nafseyat'ha ta3bana shway la'anha menga63a 3n el3alam 11 years plus she's sitting with people mu met3awda 3ala halshay ou mu 3arfa etejawab
And all of a sudden Basma came..
She was sitting on a wheal chair..
"Kan sha3arha aswaad mu bunny! Ou kanaw rab6eena laha bkubba! 7eta bashrat'ha 9arat baithaa ou jesemha 9ar waaaayed th3eef ou hazeel bs raghm kel hatha ma fqedat neg6a min jamalha"
Lujain and othman were staring on Basma silently..
And basma were staring too..
Joud: basma!! Hathail our cousins banat khalty hayounaa! Lujain kubrech ou kentay kella tg3edeen ma3aha ou 3ethman okho lujain
Basma continued staring on them..
Othman: basmaa!! El7emdellah 3ala salamtech
And he burst into tears!!
He was crying his heart out!!
Crying all the pain he ate through the whole 11 years!!!
11 years of silent pain..
11 years of dry eyes!!
He was too patient to cry!!
But today, he could not stop his eyes from tearing..
Lujain hugged Othman: bs 3ethmann 3awart galbe
Basma gave Othman a smile with a tear down her cheeks..
