Rebound Chapter 7: All it Needs is Time

Inshaala you enjoy and like the post :***

Aseel: umm.. ok I wasn’t expecting that at all. 7amad u know that Razan came and told me kilshay and I know exactly what happened, so I know ina you guys didn’t discuss this and you didn’t have the chance to explain yourself at all fa laish you don’t meet her? Roo7 shofha w tkalmaw bl mawthoo3 w work things out.
 

7amad: ee aseel walla adre, its not that I don’t want to but….I just can’t.
 

Aseel: ee laaiish? It just doesnt make sense!!
 

7amad: well.. umm.. don’t tell Razan because I know she’s going to freak out. I got hit by a car this morning while I was crossing the road. Im ok now il7mdilla bs I have a broken leg and 2 very badly bruised ribs w bga3doone bl mustashfa laima bacher just to make sure there isn’t anything wrong. Im fine and its just precaution. Ma aby Razan tadry please you know how she is w 7tan lo kil hatha 9ar baina ra7 et7aty w ma abeha she goes through that.
 

Aseel: haa?? Aahh.. yaa ok mdam chthe 5ala9 shof muta magdart let me know w ana agwlaha ina you umm.. have to go see the estate agency and that it’s very important.
 
   7amad actually closed the phone after that but Aseel couldn’t bring herself to putting her phone down and talking to Razan. Although she couldn’t see her face she was certain the color has drained from her face and she was shocked. 7amad asked her not to tell Razan and she knew he was right she would freak out and that’s something she doesn’t need right now. So she kept the phone to her ear pretending like 7amad was still speaking. After what seemed like forever she decided to pull herself together and put the phone down.

   She turned around to face her friend. Thinking positively and trying not to think about the accident. She told Razan ina 7amad has to go meet the estate agent because there was a problem with his contract.

   “Ayshaaay!! Al7en he can’t meet me after that to talk? ? shno he’s going to spend the whole night 3ndhum??? Fine whatever kaifa! His loss not mine” Razan was furious.

   All she could think about was what sort of excuse was that, if he didn’t want to meet he could have just said he needed his space and doesn’t want to discuss this tonight. Why did he have to say he was busy. Wait, why is Aseel looking at me like that?? Shfeha wayha 9ar a9far chna she’s seen a ghost? Whats wrong? 7amad fe shay?? 
   
   Her divine grey eyes began to widen as it slowly hit her that there was something that was very wrong. Something didn't seem right and it feels like that phone call didn't go as smoothly as it seemed it did.

   “7amad fe shay???” she asked Aseel as she slowly began to realize how her expressions changed instantaneously. Aseel searched for the right words to use so that Razan wouldn’t sense that something is wrong.

  “Haa.. la la mafe ila il3afya he just seemed very worried about his apartment, chna he said they were making him move out w uhwa m3a9b l2na they can’t do that because of all the contract and agreement, you know just 7amad overly concerned about this.” That was all spurted out in one breath.

   What Razan did was use their famous lie-detecting test. She looked Aseel in the eye for a whole solid minute, that’s all she needed to know whether she was lying or not. That’s what they always did. They looked each other in the eye for a solid minute and they would instantly know if the other was lying.

   All Aseel did was imagine 7amad at the estate agency with his landlord discussing the ‘matter’ and pushed every thought about hospitals and car accidents and broken bones out of her mind because she was certain Razan would be able to see her exact thoughts through her eyes. It was like Razan was in her brain right at that very moment. It was freaky how they know each other down the core of their eyes. They can read each others eyes without any effort.

   After what seemed like forever Razan looked away disappointed that 7amad really didn’t want to meet her and was making excuses. Aseel on the other hand was so surprised and couldn’t believe that for the first time she managed to beat their lie-detecting test so she quickly got up in disbelief and walked into the kitchen.
  
   It was as if she was scared that she would be caught now and this was too good to be true. Razan not knowing what was going on in Aseel’s head was a first! “can you please stop jumping to conclusions? That’s all you’ve been doing lately and its not right at all. 7amad would never make excuses for not meeting you and you know perfectly well ina 7amad may6awf any chance of spending time with you w al7en t’hawashtaw w matfahmtaw eb shay w mtwa8a3a ina he wants space or time? Matdren ina all 7amad needs is to just look into your eyes w ynsa ildnya kilha w yratheech bs 3shan yshofch mbtasma w ur happy?” she wasn’t screaming, she wasn’t mad, she was plainly stating the facts to Razan.

   “ adre but this time its different Aseel, its not a normal fight. This one is huge and I have a feeling its not going to have a pleasant ending.” Saying she looked worried was an understatement.

   Her minded began to wonder about all the possible conversations they could be having. With everything she heard and everything that has happened she still loves him. She is in love with him and she can say that he too loves her back and she knows that for a fact. But she was hurt, without a doubt she was aching and she was scared. She didn't want to loose him but she can't know that for sure until they discuss everything. Only time can tell how that goes...
