I froze when he said i love you.

I panicked but i said "ana b3d"

He chuckled knowing he made me blush vigorously. We kept silence then he sighed a happy sigh and said, "yala akahm nadoni t7mli b7alch" i smiled and said "inshalla" we hung up after that.

I started flapping my hands like a fan because the room suddenly became hot, i smiled and happy sighed, then said "allah yshfek"

[A year later]

Finally a university student.

I mentally squealed.

Today is my first day as a university student along with m7md. I'm studying architect and m7md is studying law. Shaikha is in ireland studying 6b with her cousin. 9gr and sara are studying business in a different university. 

D3ay's condition is getting worst and worst each day. I haven't left his side throughout summer. He seems strong and like he's holding onto every inch of breath he has when i'm there and when i leave it just collapses onto him. I sighed just remembering his face. 

I remember seeing him smile and it was obvious he was holding his strength, he didn't want to show me that he's weak in any way, even thought you could see how sick he is. When i left i stood outside and remembered i forgot something in and when i entered he was panting and wincing. 

"7beebty bnty elbash mwhndsa" said my mum letting me snap from my flash back as i was going downstairs before i left for university.

I chuckled and went for a morning forehead kiss. I and shaikha decided that for university we'll be wearing shaila's, i wasn't used to it but as the time passes i'm sure i will. 

After i reached university which is like a 30 minutes drive. I took a deep breath and entered, knowing that i will be seeing m7md makes me relieved, however i won't always see him, but hey at least i know someone.

I looked at my schedule and i had creative thinking and history scheduled for me today.

I had creative thinking with m7md so i'm happy i'll be seeing him more often.

I had 5 minutes left till the lecture so i went and grabbed me a seat in the front row, waiting for the lecture to start. 

People started entering then i noticed m7md entering with a girl i wasn't familiar of but they were happily chatting. He was wearing thoub w 3'tra. I haven't seen him for a while didn't change one bit maybe just grew him a beard but it was well shaved into a saksoka. He flashed me a dimpled smile and made a 'not bad' face and gave me a thumbs up on the shaila, i shyly smiled back and the girl sat next to me as it was the only available seat. Her name was Maryam. 

After the class was over 10 minutes early, i looked at my schedule again to check the time of my next lecture and i had history after exactly 10 minutes. 'Dammit' i thought to myself.

 "Ahlan" i heard someone greet beside me i look over and it was m7md, i freaked out because he always does that. 

"Ahlain" i replied with a smile. He introduced me to maryam which happens to be his cousin and told me i'll be having history with her. 

"7elw 3ayl bnstwi rbe3at" i said in my emirati accent."Oh emiratya?" She said and i nodded. 

"7elwa 3laich elshaila" m7md complimented and i smiled. we had an eye contact moment and he excused himself and informed us that he'll be in the cafeteria. 

We headed over to sit, as the lecture is right beside the previous lecture.

We sat at the very end. 

"Enty 7beebt m7md fe amal?" She asked, 'why do i keep being asked the same question repeatedly' i thought to myself. 

I chuckled and replied "la la ana m56oba wainy w wain m7md" she oh-ed and told me how she and him are close cousins more like brothers and sisters, she is the youngest daughter and she has an elder sister but she's married. 

The professor entered, he looked young and i mean late 20's young, he had handsome features and was tall, really tall.

"Elsalam 3alekm" he started as he began shifting his desk which was stuck to the wall. "Wana kl magol lhm latl9gona hni el9gona ly" he said trying to sound humorous. 

We chuckled, we began our lecture by introducing ourselves and saying what major we are in, when it came to me "Hessa Al-B" i said, "shnu t599ch hessa oboi?" He asked, "hndsa" i replied, "m3marya?" He asked again, "haih" i said.

"Oh emiratya?" He asked again, i just nodded because i obviously am. 

"Maybyn 3laich" he said. I gave him the look but he didn't see that. 

I get that a lot, how do people just assume i'm not emiratya just because i don't look like one. I still never get this.

After the lecture was over, my phone rang and it was fatma, d3ay's sister.

I walked with maryam and stood in front of the elevators, which i was very hesitant about entering. 

I'm claustrophobic, which means i have the fear of crowded places and tight, closed places. 

Which this elevator was, so i stood for pretty long until i got the next elevator. I didn't mind i was on the phone.

"Halla blzain halla" said fa6ma

"Halla beech" i replied with a chuckle.

"Ha shloun eljam3a" he asked

"3jeb" i replied.

"Lay mta y3ni?" I heard a faint d3ay voice at the back.

"Uff enzain enzain, hessa b36ech d3ay" she said. 

I waited till the phone was successfully transferred. 

"Alo?" He said and my heart started pounding, his voice was so weak, i didn't want to come back to Bahrain, i didn't want to leave him, but i had too.

"Hi" i said with a soft sweet voice trying not cry, because i always do.

I saw maryam staring at me, and i smiled. 

"Shloun elmhndsa?" He asked while trying hard to catch his breath. 

"El7mdella" i said and my sweet voice slowly started to crack and i could feel a lump in my throat.

"Ent sh7alk elyoum?" I asked trying to get the lump away, but i know my voice sounded like i was crying. 

"Mn a7san maymkn el7mdela" he replied, i know he's feeling pain and is tortured about it but he always had that feature in him where he always wants to show me that he's strong and that a simple cancer will not defeat him. I loved that about him. He smiles through anything. 

"El7mdella" i said, he kept silent and then huffed, "7beebty eldctor ya baklmch b3dain tm?" He whispered through the phone, "tm" i whispered back, we laughed and hung up. 

"7dkm cute hai kan 56ebch?" Asked maryam as we stepped into the elevator after the crowd died and because i was talk on the phone. 

I nodded and i lowered my head down, because i was about to cry. 

"Wee shfech?" She asked lifting my face with her too hands, and pressed G.

I shock my head and tried to swallow that lump i had, so i wouldn't cry. 

"Hessa shfeech?" She sounded really concerned but i didn't like to talk about it. That's when i saw m7md standing right in front of the elevator door. 

I chanted 'no no no no' in my mind, i didn't want him to see me cry. 

"Shfeech hessa?" He said stepping into the elevator with us, and that's where i lost it. 

they closed the elevator and pressed 3, because it is the least visited block. 

"Hessa shfeech?" Asked m7md repeatedly. I wiped my eyes and shook my head, i smiled and said, "nothing nothing" and i pressed G.
