Rebound Chapter 40(b): Papers

   Later that day 7amad was hanging out with Fahad at their usual place. It was a small coffee shop that they came across a while back when they had just started university here. Fahad noticed 7amad had a bit more life to him although he still looked down but today it wasn't as bad as the other days. He didn't want to bring it up, he was just glad that 7amad was slowly managing. But he wanted to know if something good happened. Fahad has been hoping this would turn around and they would get back together. Jenna's case popped in mind and he remembered that 7amad hasn't mentioned anything in a while

   "B'3ait as2lek.. sh9ar 3ala 8atheyat Jenna? Did she get the divorce?" Fahad noticed how 7amad's expression changed and he became worried as he remembered her and the crisis she was going through. "Walla il9ara7a mn rdait ihne mas2lt a7mad 3an il8atheya, ana adre ina iljalsa ili they went to gbl ma asafr went great and it looked liked things are going to turn out to be to her advantage bs wala lhait ihne ma3a drasa w makalmt a7mad." 7amad made a mental note to call a7mad later on and ask him about how things are progressing. He really hopes he can take Jenna out of her misery.

   There was a moment of silence. 7amad's thoughts drifted, they went back to the dream he had. Suddenly out of nowhere he asked Fahad a question "Please tell me what to do to get her back. I'll do it, i'll do anything bs tkfa gwle shswe?"

   Fahad saw the sorrow in his eyes. He genuinely meant what he said. 7amad was willing to do whatever it takes to get her back but Fahad only new one way which might truly work. It wasn't a splendid idea but it seemed like the only right way to handle things. "Can i be honest with you?" He knew 7amad won't like what he's about to say but it is the truth. "Akeed, a9lan i would be upset if you weren't"

   "Inzain.... shof kalamy mara7 ya3jbek bs fakr fe w inshala ra7 te8tne3 ina its the right thing to do." Fahad took a deep breath before starting to speak again and looked 7amad in the eye. "If you truly love her give her space. 9j ina its not fair because only one of you is getting what they want bs its the manly thing to do. Ehya shayfa ashya2 akthar mn ili inta ga3d tshof, she has enough reasons that you don't understand ili 5lat'ha etswe chthe. Latnsa ina inta maknt tbe etgolaha 3an Jenna. Let her go, itha allah katb inek ta5eth'ha ra7 ta5etha... If you love something, let it go. If it comes back to you, its yours forever. If it doesn't, then it was never meant to be.... fa 5alha 3la ra7t'ha, adre ina hatha shay wayd 9a3b bs itha tmait et7awl inek etkalmha ra7 et'thaygha w ymkn t3a9b zyada because your not giving her space...my advice is set her free. I tried it with Reem remember and now im glad i did because now i know we weren't meant to be. She didn't really love me, her heart is filled wih love for her husband and son but my heart is still broken."

   Fahad knew this would be a hard thing to do. He truly believes they belong together and their love is so great that nothing on this earth can separate them for too long. Itha allah katb inhum ya5thon ba3ath no one can stop them and their love can defeat anything. He would never told him what he just did if he doesn't think they will end up together sooner or later.

   7amad looked at him. His mouth went dry at the thought of actually setting her free. Does he have what it takes to wait. What if she doesn't come back? What if it takes her too long to come back? But he had to admit, Fahad was right. "kalamek 9a7 bs walla 5ayf inha troo7 mne itha swait chthe." He couldn't bear the idea of her belonging to another man. Someone else's wife. "7amad gltlek, itha allah katb inha tkon mn n9ebk ra7 etkon lek w itha allah mu katb, 7tan lo ma9ar hal shay bainkm w everything went so smoothly, something would happen later la2na allah mu katb inkm ta5thon ba3ath w 9adegni allah b3awthek beli fe il5air lek."

   7amad sat back in his chair and sunk himself deep into it. He turned his head and looked out the window. He wasn't looking at anything in particular. He wasn't thinking about anything. His mind was just blank. A second later his mind was flooded with tonnes of words and arguments between what his heart wants and what his mind thinks is right....
