[M7md's POV] 

I reached to a point where i fell for her. I don't know how can i explain it so that it falls to human normal sense. 

I lived my whole life and never fell for anyone, i never loved anyone half as much as i loved my mother.

My heart never jumped at the site of a person like it did to her and deep inside i know she's the one. 

The question is does she?

I want to propose and do it the traditional way, but what if she rejects. What if this becomes the reason why we aren't friends any more?

I have never been nervous and unsure about something as i am now.

I keep typing "hessa marry me" 

Over and over again but i just keep erasing it. 

I went to noura remembering her boyfriend thing, just something to clear my mind off that. 

I knocked and waited till i got permission to enter.

"Ha shtswen?" I greeted, she smiled "adrs" i stood there leaning on her door edge.

"Mn s3ood" i asked and she went freeze and as they locally say "wayha en9fg" 

"A3rf tara goleeli mn w shlon t3rfena" i asked looking serious.

"Hai o5o rfej-" she said and i stopped her "hnoof?" I said

She nodded still in shock wondering how i know all this. 

"A3rfa el9by kan ero7 maylas 3ziz w a3rf e5ta w ahla w a3rf ena 7beebch" i said with a serious smile.

She smiled in shock, "shlon a3oth belah" 

"Lats2len shlon shla magelteli m3a hlwayh" i said playfully cutting the tension.

"Wnt shla mageltly 3n hessa" she replied playfully as if it was an eye for an eye.

"Shd5l hessa ana whya rb3" i said trying not to sound nervous. 

"3yartk latnsa youm 6l3t m3aha yaz3m drasa wrdait et3'ni a3'ani 7b mb 3lai" she said mockingly.

"Latglben elsalfa lagol 7g oboch ha" i threatened playfully.

"Enzain enzain madri 5ft" she said and my face turned serious again.

"5ayfa mn shnw, mhb 7ram el7ub hw bs e9er 7ram lma ynbni 3ala el7ram wla el7b m7ll" i said hating the fact that she was scared in notifying me about it. 

"W ana sm3tch ttklmain m3a fa s2lt 3na, ohwa 9ij e7bch?" I asked.

She shyly smiled, "y3ni shrayk ent?" 

I laughed and mockingly said, "tst7en b3d" 

"M7md!" I heard my mother call. 

"7sabi m3ach b3dain" i said doing the '9bri shwy' hand gesture and left.

I headed downstairs and said "N3m yma" i saw a man standing there.

I know this man, he's my uncle, father's brother. What on earth is he doing here.

I had an angry serious expression, "n3m?" i said having both my hands at my back.

"M7md obok 36ak 3mra ams w katb kl amlaka lk" he said holding the will in his hand.

I looked at it and back at him. 

"Shnw 3n 3yala mn elthanya?" 

I kept a cold formal tone. 

"Maktb shy lhm l2na yhal bs elwrth byt8sm," i was suspicious why will he do that.  

"Enzain, 5l elw9ya 3ndy bagraha wbklmk" i said and he came closer to me. 

"Etrk'ha 3al 6awla ymk" i instructed, i don't know why was i cold to him, it isn't like i despise him or anything. Maybe because he looked a bit like my father. I don't know.  

He kept it and left. Without even a farewell, typical very typical. 

"Allah ysalmk" i said as he slammed the door. "Mama mala da3i hl t9rf" said my mother. 

I just went and took the will and began reading it. From what i understood my father is some oil tycoon and the inheritance i got can get me and my mother our own house, heck a mansion, and cars and i'll still have more than what i need and all i had to do was work in my fathers company and take over his place, basically i'm the heir to the so called throne. 

"Wala zain fakr feena" said my mother, and i chuckled in disgust examining the paper. 

"Yma?" I started, she hummed a yeah, "bachr bnrou7 el5alaf" i instructed. She looked at me confused and i smiled. 

Next morning i woke up and found a text from hessa, "36'am allah ajrk :(" 

i groaned as i woke up, remembering i had to go to the 5alaf, come to think of it how did she know. 

Me: "ajrna w ajrch shdrach?"

Hessa: "hello my family and yours somehow are related words fly around like flies" 

Me: "oh offcourse"

Hessa: "ee barou7 el5alaf b3d el9ala would be nice to meet your family"

Me: "ee same same"

I got up and went to my mothers room she wasn't there i'm going to guess she's down stairs.

I went and washed my face and brushed my teeth and hurried downstairs. 

"Yma!" I yelled, and kissed her forehead, "bsmela 3laich shfeek?" 

She said with a chuckle.

"Yma abi agolch shy" i said and for some reason i felt like a child.

"Gol" she said, "elyoum fl5alaf btkon bnt hnak esmha hessa al-X m3a omha nsait esmha bs chna reem"

"Enzain w b3dain?" She looked at me suspiciously with a smirk.

"Bs chofeha ly elmshkla ma3ndy 9ort'ha bs etshabh shaikha e5t'ha eltaw2am" i said.

"Shaikha 3ndha taw2am?" She asked, "

"89a 6wela bgolch lma nrd" i said,

"Laish enzain shm3na hl bnt" she asked looking to me happily suspicious.

"Enzain baini w bainch hl bnt 7bait'ha w aby a56bha fa t3rfi 3la omha w chthe" i finally said. 

She flashed me a smile, raised her eyebrow and got up. After 9lat el9'hr, she wore her abaya and i wore my thoub. 

I drove to my fathers house and surprisingly i still remember the way. 

I was thinking about how no one bothered to take me for the burial. 

We got there and my mother went to the women funeral, and i went to the mens. My mind was all over what will happen with my mother.

When i entered, i began scanning the room for my uncle to talk to him about the will. 

36'mt allah ajr everyone there and sat in the seat next to him and next to him was a 10 year old i don't know of. 

I saw ryl 5alat hessa and a happy feeling swam inside of me. 

"Hathy o5ok tara esma nasser" my uncle said and the kid had a confused look so did i but i smiled anyways. 

My uncle told me about how i have 2 younger brothers and a sister. I was happy that i had siblings but at the same time i hate the fact that they're step. 

But i stopped the happy family reunion chat and went straight to my point. 

"3n el w9ya ana mwafg bs.." i began quietly not wanting to get attention. 

I had one condition "..maby asht3'l fe shrkt oboi hai mw r3'bty elmst8blya" i didn't want to do anything with him i'll just take whats rightful for mine and leave forever. 

  

It may sound as a selfish act but i'm thinking about my future and how i want it to be. 

"Elw9ya w9ya matgdr et8rr" he said, and for a moment i thought and finally came to a decision.

"Mwafg lakn lma ykbr nasser ohwa ely ystlm elmkan w ba5th 50% mn elarba7" i said, he sighed and said "bs tm" 

I never wanted any of this and looks like my law future will have to wait. 

I however don't know how to run a company and i am not studying business, but i know someone who does and he may be of an assistance. 

i and mother left the funeral, we conversed about what happened in the funeral.

"Chft elbnt" she started, "shrych?" I asked, "jamal w a5lag mashalla" she said.

I looked at her once and back at the road, "kalmteha" i asked again.

"9dfa omha g3dt ymi w g3dna ntklm w 5tht r8mha" she said.

"Y3ni?" I asked filled with joy and happiness.

"Y3ni bat9l w baklmha" she replied with a chuckle. 

I just had a smile and then we reached home. I couldn't contain myself i was like a little child being told he's getting his birthday gift early. 

However, i was afraid.

What if she doesn't agree and i lose her?

What if she doesn't like me the same i do? 

What if this makes things awkward for us?

I threw myself on my bed and sighed a deep sigh and just laid there silently panicking. 

Hours passed by and i stayed the same, then i decided this is of no use and went to inform my mother that lets leave this proposal wait a while. 

I wanted to wait for the right time to come and i'll make sure that time happens this week, and by that i meant tomorrow.

The next day came and i had a lecture with her. The usual sunday lecture, i asked her if i could talk to her privately and that i had something to tell her. Happily she agreed unknowing that i'm actually proposing.

I examined her every reaction around me and most of them indicated that there's a chance she has a thing for me, but i was still nervous. 

I sat in the cafteria with her facing me, we talked about how she dealt with mona's issue and i talked about my past, she was curious and then we became silent. 

I buckled up my courage to ask her. 

"Hessa?" I said barely able to even say her name. She hummed in response. 

I mentally yelled 'marry me' but i wasn't able to say a single word. 

"Shfek?" She asked.

I sighed a deep sigh and finally said, "hessa ttzwjaini?" Her reaction was a mixture of shocked and confused.

At that moment, i knew i shouldn't have said that and i didn't want to know her response. I'm such an idiot. 

So i apologized and left before she had a chance to say anything.
