They got his room number and went to check on him..
Aseel slowly knocked the door..
But nobody was responding..
Aseel turned her face to see reem..
Aseel in a hesitated voice: mu bghurfeta

She said the previous sentence and left..
Aseel took a deep breath and went to the lobby..
She sat down hoping to see wahhabi coming back to his room..
“Don’t worry my dear.. he will come back enshallah!! And you will make from him the best father in this world!! Just wait!”
She was talking to her daughter and rubbing her belly..
Until she came and interrupted her talk..
Aseel froze in her place..
Is that lulu?
Why is she crying???
And where in the world is wahhabi!!!!
Khaled: lulu bs 7abeebty ed3eellehum bedal matabcheen

Aseel stood up and took a few steps toward them..
Aseel: lulu?
Lulu ignored her call..
Aseel: LULUUU!! SHFEEEH WAHHAAAB!!
Lulu sniffed: mafe shayyy!!!
She said the previous sentence and rushed to her room..
Aseel’s legs couldn’t hold her body anymore..
And she fell down..

She threw herself on her bed and try to call wahhab but he didn’t answer!!
“Shfeeeh!!!”

She was sitting in the lobby for two hours waiting for a miracle to bring him in front of her eyes..
Her mobile started ringing..

“Be9eeerly 3 hours!!”
“7ail wedy akel bs ma7ad ga3d yakel!!”
“Ou men kether mala3abt eb mobily el battery 9ar a7mar!!”

She laid her head back and started thinking of meeting wahhab..
Until her voice interrupted her thoughts..

*knock knock knock*
Abdulwahhab: minu!!
*Silent*
Abdulwahhab sighed and went closer to the door..
He sneaked a peak to see Aseel standing right in front of his door..
He opened the door automatically..
Abdulwahhab: aseel?
His scenery with his face full of tears broke her heart into million pieces and made her eyes tearing..
She couldn’t split a word and she started wiping his tears by her hands..
And all of a sudden he held her hands..
She froze in her place..
Aseel: sorry! Mata7ammalt elmanthar! Enta aqwa men enek tabchy! Wahhab!
Abdulwahhab: 7etana sorry mata7amalt elmanthar!
He took her hands closer to her face and wiped her tears away..
Aseel: wahhab shlounek?
