     Faisal could not believe the fact that Dalal told him she loved him.

“Ha-aa?” Faisal said as his jaw dropped.

“Faisal amout feeck..” Dalal whisperd shyly.

“Goleeha ba3ad mara?? Tekfain goleeha?” Faisal begged.

“7abeby?” Dalal whispered.

Faisal gulped, “3yooona? Galbaa? Rou7a?? Ely tabeena kela lech..”

“A7ibik, amout feeck..” Dalal said it again

“Wana akthar ya ba3ad 3omre entay! Ana mayet feech!!” Faisal cried out.

Dalal smiled, happiness was slowly filling her heart. She missed this feeling, the feeling of loving Faisal and expressing her love to him.

“Faisal?”

“Yes baby?”

“I have to go to sleep now okay?”

“Laa” Faisal frowned.

“Faisal walla I have to, bacher waray ga3da men el9b7 w I’m really tired, ba6ni e3awerni.”

“Eshfeeh ba6nch?” Faisal asked

“Mako bas 3awar khafeef, yemken 7ashni bard men elshalaih.”

“Khathaytay dowa?” Faisal asked

“Laa bas sharabt shay a3shab saweta ley Om Rawan..” Dalal said

“You feel better?” Faisal asked

“Ya3ne shway..”

“Enzain 7abebty tagha6ay 3adel w bacher men el9b7 takthen dowa wet6amneni 3anich okay?”

“Enshalla, tamer 3ala shay?” Dalal asked

“Salamtech 7abebty, take care..” Faisal said

“Enshalla, wenta ba3ad.. goodnight faisal”

“Goodnight 7abebty..” Faisal waited for Dalal to say it.

Dalal smiled, “Faisal I love you..”

Faisal smiled, “I love you too..”

They ended the call and Dalal went straight to bed and fell into a deep sleep.

Faisal stayed up replaying the conversation in his head and each time he remembers Dalal saying those three words, his heart would fly out of his chest.

He was really in love with her, and nothing will change that.

The couple of days after that phone call went by pretty well for Faisal and Dalal. Faisal’s mother called Dalal’s mother and asked to visit them, and she did. It went very well. Dalal’s mother was expecting the visit, because Dalal sat with her and explained the situation clearly. On the other hand, Dalal’s father and brothers didn’t really know the exact story; they think that it’s a traditional proposal. Nasser, Dalal’s brother, was the only one giving Dalal a hard time. He keeps asking questions about Faisal and his family, and he keeps suggesting that Dalal previously knew Faisal before things got official, luckily for Dalal neither her mother nor her father gave Nasser’s accusations any interest.

The proposal wasn’t spread to people yet; the only people who knew were Dalal’s parents, brothers, Rawan and Farah. Faisal’s family didn’t reveal the proposal yet. Both families decided to wait until the men officially go and ask for Dalal’s hand before announcing anything.

It has been exactly a week since Dalal last saw Faisal. Other than the fact that she’s busy with midterms, Nasser has been keeping a close eye on the whereabouts of Dalal.

Dalal’s alarm kept buzzing and she kept snoozing it, begging for more sleep. Minutes later, Rawan called, like she usually does, everyday to make sure Dalal’s up.

“Rawaan abe anam please” Dalal said with a sleepy voice.

“Gomay al7een its 9!!! Class eb yabdee ba3d sa3a!” Rawan demanded

“Eeeh sa3aa!! Yamdee!” Dalal whined

“Khaair? Entay 3ala ma etbadleen yabeelich malyoun sa3a! Yala dalool gomay al7een!” Rawan demanded again

“Iffff!! Meta e5ali9 hal course yarabyy!!” Dalal complained as she got up.

“Mabuga shay! Shahar wen5ali9 w ba3dain sleep all you want!” Rawan chuckled

“Enzain shloun eljaw barra? Boots? Wela too soon?” Dalal asked as she looked through her closet.

“Laa lebsay its really cold! Khala9 its officially winter!”

Dalal smiled, “3ayal coffee’s on you today!”

“Walaaain,” Rawan teased

“Ard anaam?” Dalal said

“Laa 5alaa9! Coffee’s on me walla ehmich!”

“3afya!” Dalal said, “Sem3ay please abech teyen baitna elyoum okay?”

“Eeeh okay, bas laish?” Rawan asked

“Rawoon I told you! Bacher ahal Faisal beyoun rasme! W 6ab3an I still don’t know what to wear!”

Rawan beamed, “Eeh lat7ateen!! Ana w faroo7 will take care of that!”

“Yalla 5ala9 kani babdel w ba6la3,” Dalal said

“Okay, don’t be late!” Rawan said and ended the phone call.

Dalal washed up and started applying her makeup when her phone vibrated.

It was a message from Faisal,

“Good morning beautiful;*”

She blushed,

“Good morning 7abeby;* laish ga3ed? Ams ma nemt embacher!”

Faisal,

“La2na adri entay etgoumen hal 7azza, gelt agoum a9abe7 3alaich, oo at6amin 3anich oo ba3dain ard anam..”

Dalal,

“Faisal?”

Faisal,

“halla obouy?”

Dalal,

“I love you so much;* that really made my morning!”

Faisal,

“7abebty entay:* I love you more wallah! Take care and I hope you have a great day”

Dalal,

“Tabe ag3dik?”

Faisal,

“La yuba I’m fine, bas banamle cham sa3a ba3dain waray 6al3a 3al ghada..”

Dalal,

“Meta ghadak?”

Faisal,

“2:30-sh, laish yuba?”

Dalal,

“Bas as2al.. 5ala9 7abeby rou7 kamel noomtk ana shway w a6la3 7ag my class..”

Faisal,

“wedi anam men elyoum lay bacher..”

Dalal,

“haw laish 3ad?”

Faisal,

“3ashan eyey bacher ebser3a oo ashoofech..”

Dalal blushed, Faisal really knew how to get to her,

“7abeby ent;* I’m really excited for tomorrow and I can’t wait to see you!”

Faisal,

“Me too baby, shno eb talbseen?”

Dalal,

“7ag bacher?”

Faisal,

“laa al7en 7ag your class?”

Dalal,

“A baby pink wool shirt and my washed out grey skinny’s and boots.. why?”

Faisal,

“bas aghar 3alaich.. I don’t want you to look too pretty w ana mu mawjood..”

Dalal,

“don’t worry ;$ now go sleep!”

Faisal,

“7ather mama, gn;*”

Dalal laughed, she loved him so much. She loved how he puts in effort and pays attention to the little things. She loves his random morning messages; she loved how he remembers her schedule and when she has to be up. Basically she loves everything there is about him.

She got dressed and left in a hurry because she had 20 minutes left before she was locked out of class.

The morning went by smoothly. After class the girls went out for breakfast, this time going to Early Bird instead of Prime&Toast. Everyone was having a good time, except Dalal. She had a worried expression and Rawan noticed.

“Dalool?” Rawan began

“Halla?” Dalal smiled

“Fee shay ga3da et7ateena?” Rawan asked bluntly

“Eeh ya3nii,” Dalal replied

“3asa mashar?” Farah asked

“Laa its nothing, bas I’m worried about something.. ya3ne ohwa walla shay, I’m just being a child about it..” Dalal said trying to sound convincing.

“Spill babe?” Rawan said

Dalal breathed out, “Faisal elyoum berou7 yetghada eb bait yada, w I know one of his cousins has this big crush on him, so I’m not comfortable with the thought of her being with him today.. or ever!”

Rawan and Farah both laughed, “tara its not funny! El bent maynoona! W since lama al7een ma 3alana elkhe6ba, so matadre..” Dalal frowned.

“Babe you have nothing to worry about 9adgeeni, Faisal e7bich w mako wa7da eb ta5’tha mench!” Farah assured Dalal.

Dalal didn’t look so convinced.

“Did you talk to him about this?” Rawan asked with a concentrated look

Dalal shook her head, “Last time we talked about this, we fought, and it was exactly a year ago.. W men radaina 7ag ba3ath I never brought her up, bas mani gadra askt.. Kel mathker ena betkoun weyah ezir 3aglii w fekra etwadeni w fekra etyeebnii.. I don’t know what to do!” Dalal looked very helpless.

“You trust him 9a7?” Rawan asked

“Of course!” Dalal bugged her eyes

“3ayal if anything happens, like if she tries to flirt with him, akeed begoulch.. and when he does, ba3dain kalmeeh belmawthoo3.. mu gabl! Ba3dain he’ll think that you’re attacking him wena you don’t trust him.” Rawan said

Dalal smiled, “You’re a genius walla!”

Rawan laughed, “Glad I can help!”

“Enzain what is her name a9lan?” Farah asked

“Muneera,” Dalal replied with a face.

Both of them laughed, “Waay kelsh mayloug! Muneera oo Faisal!”

Dalal bugged her eyes, “Its Dalal oo Faisal oo bas!!! Mako ghair chthy!”

“Allah e5alekum 7ag ba3ath enshalla! Do you have any idea shno talbseen 7ag bacher?” Rawan asked

Dalal shook her head, “not a clue! Gelt enrd elbait w ashoof omy shetgool ba3dain a6ali3li shay?”

Rawan nodded, “Eeh sounds legit.”

“Dalool al7een bacher bas khe6ba 9a7? I mean its not like you’ll be officially married?” Farah asked

“Eeh bas khe6ba, w enshalla lama erd, we’ll get married.” Dalal said

“When is he leaving?” Farah asked

“Next week..” Dalal frowned.
