Rebound Chapter 27: Missing Pieces

Sorry 6awlt 3laikm again *puppy eyes* bs this is a long post 7gkum! ENJOOOYY :*** 

    The girls decided to kill the morning by still going to get their nails done. Razan thought it would be a great way to get her mind off 7amad since he wasn't picking up or replying to her messages. As much as she tried to convince herself that there is nothing wrong she had still had this feeling in her gut that something wasn't right. Something has happened. They also went shopping for a while. Razan bought everything she laid her eyes on, even if she didn't want or need it. She just bought everything in attempt to make herself feel better but unfortunately it wasn't working.

   Razan wanted to go home and take a little nap since she was up early and her mind was over-thinking and took up all of her energy. She couldn't get any sleep though. She kept tossing and turning and looking at her phone every few minutes hoping there was something from 7amad. 2 hours later she decided to get up and take a shower and tidy her room up to waste as much time as possible before deciding to go to see 7amad in his dad's company.

   She did everything. Cleaned up her room, tidy her closet, took the longest shower, curled her hair, took her time applying her make and it still feels like not enough time has passed. She gathered up all of her courage, got dressed, took her bag and her car keys and made her way to 7amad. The whole ride she tried not to think and to just give him his chance to explain things. To tell her why he wanted to cancel and why he hasn't bothered to answer her phone calls or messages. She couldn't deny feeling hurt and slightly abandoned. He left her with no reason or explanation. With no early notice.

   Razan reached the parking lot and had to go up 3 levels before finding an empty space even though it was 7 pm. Apparently people in this company work really late. She was hoping it would be empty so that no one would notice her visiting 7amad. No one knows about the 5e6a or that they knew each other. She walked into the entrance and took a look at the place. It was beautiful, so elegant and classy. The ceiling of the entrance was very high and a humongous chandelier was hanging from up there. She probably has never seen a chandelier this big. She looked down at the brown marble floor and the bright white walls.

   There wasn't a reception around just a security desk and she doubted that they would know where to find 7amad. She walked over to where the elevators were but just stood there and didn't press the "up" button not knowing which floor to press once she gets on the elevator. She remembered him once saying that the office his dad had for him was on the 12th floor so she thought it must still be there. She made her way up and stepped out looking around. She felt very lost so she realized she probably looked lost as well.

   Razan decided to walk around and find her way on her own and to start from the right and look for 7amad. No one really acknowledged her or looked her way. Everyone was very engrossed in their own work and didn't have time to look up. About 15 minutes later she  heard his voice at the end of a hall way so she followed his voice until she realized which office his voice was coming from.

   She couldn't help but smile at the warmth of his voice. But he wasn't alone. There were people in there with him and the conversation seemed very serious but she decided to go in anyways, she came this far she wasn't going back. She stood by the door which was open and knock on it waiting for 7amad to see and decide whether she should come in or if he wanted to step out to talk to her.

   7amad quickly looked at the door and was completely shocked to see her here. Obviously he wasn't expecting her at all. She smiled at him and he hesitated w ertbak shway she felt like he didn't know what to do. "Umm... Razan.. aahh hii.. what are you doing here??" He couldn't say anything other than those words. There was a women who has tears all over her face and look terrified and a man who was sitting there in his suit that looks very expensive but still had a very worried look across his face.

   This looked very serious. 7amad wasn't lying about having a big problem from the look on each of their faces. "Hala 7amad umm.. i was hoping i could talk to you about.. ummm.. you know..." Her eyes kept darting between 7amad and the two people sitting there. She was curious. "Aaahh yeah come in come in... ummm Razan this is A7mad he's a friend and a lawyer..." a7mad got up and shook her hand with a fake smile trying to be polite "...and this is... e77mm" he cleared his throat before proceeding "...Jenna.." Her head automatically snapped to look at him face. Was he serious?? His eyes had a look of sadness and guilt. He knew what she would be thinking.

    Razan turned again to look at Jenna. She was disgusted, frustrated and anger was raging through her body. Jenna on the other hand stood there with her hand extended waiting for Razan to shake it. Razan's face turned red with anger. Her eyes began to tear up. She couldn't believe it! He didn't even tell her who i was! What on earth was he doing here with HER!!

   "You cancel on me for THIS!! for HER!!" She pointed at Jenna emphasizing who "her" was. "I knew it! I just had this feeling in my gut for so long and i kept ignoring it but i guess i was right! Don't even bother calling to re-schedule. I'll just tell my mom you went back running to Jenna when you realized we were really happened and you still wanted..." She looked at Jenna and gave her a cold stare while scanning her from top to bottom "..this" She turned on her heals and walked straight out not looking back.

   Her tears were covering up her face by now. She practically heard her heart shatter inside her chest. Her heart beats were so rapid it felt like her whole body was having a heart attack. Her breathing was too heavy and she couldn't get enough oxygen to enter her lungs.

   Razan heard footsteps behind her and she knew it was 7amad. He wasn't calling out for her or trying to talk to her because he didn't want to make a scene infront of everyone. Razan tried to quicken her pace. She didn't want to take the elevator. She couldn't stand the site of him let alone his smell in a closed place. She felt like puking even though she didn't really eat today.

   She took the stairs and was practically running down and even skipping a few steps. Good thing she was in good shape and didn't get tired easily, 12 floors was a long way. As she reached the 11th floor she heard him rushing down the stairs trying to catch up with her and as a matter of fact he managed to. He was right next to her and waited till they finished that flight of stairs and grabbed her arm trying to stop her. "Razan tkfain stop... let me explain its not what you think it is plz..." she cut him off.


   Razan pulled her arm out of his grip and was way beyond mad. "GET YOU HANDS OF ME!! DON'T EVEN THINK ABOUT TOUCHING ME!! explain what haa!! what do you want to explain! its pretty obvious isn't it??? OMG how could i have been so naive and stupid!! ignoring my own gut! i was so blinded!! You could have just told me that you wanted HER.. why are you even here! why did you come after me?? Go... go get her! before you loose us both!" She was gasping for air in between each sentence! she couldn't breathe and every breath was painful. It felt like every sentence she spoke was ripping her soul out of her body little by little. Her heart felt like it was going to stop beating any second. She felt like a fool. "I guess i really was just the rebound girl...."

   She turned around and began to continue walking down the stairs. She didn't even wait for him to answer. "Razan wallah ina ana ma abeeha WALLAA! She's in trouble and she came for help! She didn't know who to go to mat3arf a7ad! everyone she knew ya mn 6araf oboha w matgdar tro7lhum because they would go directly to her father and he would kill her!!"

   "Yeah and you love her too much to turn her down RIGHT?? You care to much to say no! you can't bare to see the women you love broken and hurt and suffering! Which is what i am right now! YOU broke me! YOU hurt me! in one second! but you don't care.. you don't love me, you love her! So you went running back to her as soon as you heard that she needs help!" She couldn't take it anymore. His words were destroying her.

   "I love YOU! i love Razan Al-Y! i dont love her... Her dad forced her to marry a guy his own age and she was treated like trash she was in and out of hospitals atleast 5 times each month and she finally was able to run away and she had nowhere else to go she needed help and a7mad is now her lawyer! i need to help her not because i love her! but because i once loved her and if this were anyone else! if this was one of my sisters i would have wanted them to have someone they could go to for help!" He tried to explain to her as briefly as possible just to get her to understand but it seem like it was not working.

   "And you wanted to look like the perfect hero! There just in time to save her and sweep her off her feet and get her back then after you get her the divorce you marry her and keep her safe and sheltered from the "bad" guys in this world" She had sarcasm written all over her face. "I don't care 7amad... do whatever you want. Even if this where true i still won't forgive you for canceling today for her and not even bothering to call and tell me or answer any of my phone calls or messages. You didn't even try me! you didn't try explaining all this to me! If i hadn't come here myself you would never have told me would you??!!"

   She looked up at him standing a few steps above her. She stared deep into his eyes praying that he would say what she wanted to hear. That he was going to tell her. That he was going to call her as soon as he left the office to tell her everything but his eyes said something else. A whole different story. She knew that if she hadn't come he wouldn't have told her. He didn't to answer her question anymore. He couldn't lie to her. She was way too hurt to lie to her now.

   Razan began crying again and running down the stairs "Its over... i don't want anything to do with you anymore.... " She didn't hear his footsteps running down after her. As much as she wanted him to come after her and pull her into his arms to comfort her. She was glad he didn't she needed her space and right now she doesn't think she can't stand him anymore. Her heart probably is never going to be glued back together. There were too many missing pieces.
