“Sorry my dear!”
“Sorry for being selfish!”
“Sorry for cheating on your father”
“Sorry for being a bad person!”
“Sorry because l will let you down someday in the future, when you meet one of Aziz’s children!”
“You will not be proud of me.. you will not be proud of your mom!”
“Sorry because I wasn’t happy hearing about you inside my belly!”
She was touching her belly with a disappointed heart..
She left her bed and went to the kitchen..
Merci: madam? You didn’t eat anything since yesterday! What do you want me to make for you?

She froze in her place..
“Stop being harsh wahhabi!!!!”
Abdulwahhab continued: tadreen 3ad? ZEGARTY ELDASHA WENTY EL6AL3A!!!
Her eyes popped out..
“That was shocking!”
Aseel nodded: I packed my bags already
He rolled his eyes away from hers..
Aseel: ou barou7 elyoum bait ahaly!
She continued: al7een!
A tear dropped down her cheeks..
Aseel took a deep breath..
Aseel: I know I don’t have the right to say it! And I know you don’t deserve it bs Im gonna miss you!
She continued: so much! Ou mahma sheft b3ainek ou sema3t lat9adeg ghair galbek!
He rolled his eyes back to her..
Aseel: lanna marrat nesma3 kalam mu maq9oud! Aw nshouf shay mu kamel! Don’t judge me wahhab!
A river of tears fell down her cheeks..
She wiped it and continued: ou la tathker ella el ashya’ el7elwa ely bainna! I love you wahhab! Bs thuroufy shakelha ma7abbetek! Fa I have to go!
