new story.,

hey y'all..
this is a new story since i wasnt able to continue it..hurts too much..

anywys,,,here goes with my new story


Maha was missing her life back in London..
the girls were all there..
she finished uni and came back since her dad was so firm about her not staying any longer,,

she hated bAhrain..so boring and dead..complete opposite of London..full of ppl n life
and exciting things would happen every day..

she had to admit it..
she was in bahrain depression..

she had a few friends still in bahrain
all her close friends were still abroad studying..

she logged on msn ..since it was forever since she checked her email..
she was more of a facebook/gmail kind of girl..

she was online and then..

""fAisal" has just signed in..

faisal was the first guy she ever talked to in her life..
he was such a jerk to her..

just left to his university and said he doesnt do long distance..

Faisal was older and was very attractive

she wasnt bothered since they havent talked in a very long time..

however to her suprise,she got a msg from him
"hey you..long time"

mAHA:hey stranger..i know..are u back to bahrain? (trying to hide her excitment)
Faisal: yeah finished with my masters and got back a few months ago..what about urself?

Maha couldnt help but get excited..she alwys liked Faisal but for some reason he was not intrested..

Maha: yeah got back a month ago..very depressed,,missing London

Faisal: u'll get used to bahrain trust me..

Maha and Faisal talked for 4 hours straight on msn..joking and reminiscing about old times..."sigh"

At night..maha couldnt help but wonder..was faisal thinking about her as she was thinking about him..
its been years..
he seems different,,more mature..more grounded..
maybe this time it will be different..

Maha closed her eyes..and wished for that..

Faisal has alwys had a special place in her heart..
i guess its true what they say
you can never forget your first love..



gnite ppl..

will continue tomorow inshallah..

xoxoxo

over You??

everytime i want to remember you..
i close my eyes..
i havent seen you in so long..

i close my eyes..
remembering images..memories..pictures..
the first thing that i remember
is that picture of you..
wearing that dark blue hat..outside of starbux...
u were wearing a beige sweater..
and had a thicker beard then usual..
i remember your gaze in the picture
i feel like that picture spoke to me..
calling out for me..
i longed to be there with you
i long to be with you..

i daydream all the time..
most of my day im thinking of you..
my mind keeps drifting to you..

i get mad at myself..
im forgetting
i dont wat to forget..
i dont remember anymore..
it was so long ago..
it hurts so much that i dont remember..

i forgot so many things..
but what i will alwys have is the way that u made me feel..

i feel small and inadequate now..
no one has ever made me feel that special..

i close my eyes again..
thinking of you..
remembering you in your white thoub..white '3tra..
looking so handsome.
you hugged me so tight
that u cried..
i couldnt belive it u cried..

i long for that hug
i long for that day


its not healthy to think about u like this..
i cant help myself..
i try
i try


till today songs on the radio remind me of you.
i cant even listen to them..
it hurts so bad..

i wish that one day you pick up the fone and call me..
and tell me
that you miss me
and that you will alwys love me..

its pathetic that i still have hope..
i wait for news that you guys ended ur marriage.
i know thats mean..
but i think that we are meant to be..
and that we are destined to be together..

so naive..
i think deep down im still that naive girl..
yearing for love and attenetion..

in my sleep i usualy wake up with tears..
another day without you..
do you know that ever day i look at my fone
hoping for a msg a call anything from you

every day i wake up a little bit disappointed
every night i dream of you and hope that you come back..

i am lost without you
i am not complete..

if i hear someone talk like that id think there so corny
im not usually the romantic mushy type..
this is from my heart..

i dream of you
i wait for you
i long for you
i am still madly deeply in love with you..

to my saddness and despair..this is still the case..


dear god..please get me out of this..
i want to be ok
i want to move on..

i will go to bed..
still with hope in my heart..

kuwait part 4

sara and i sit inside at sliders..

infront of us are ahmed and mohammed..



really..fate...they had to be friends..GOD...

im nervous..im jinxed..im sure ahmed will ignore me like all guys do..



sara was trying to calm me down when i get a msg. sara told me that mohd was a long time ago and most likely ahmed wont care..
it was years ago!

ahmed" nawarti slider babe"

i let out a sigh..whats wrong with me.ahmed is a friend and a strong potential keeper but lets see how it goes..i shouldn't be scared..i did nothing wrong



i reply back: thnx;)

i see ahmed stare..he doesnt take his eyes off me..

i blush and look away

ahmed sends another msg " i cant take my eyes off you..your stunning"

i blush even harder..

its been so long since i heard sweet talk..
ive missed that feeling
ive missed feeling wanted and loved..

it felt good..real good.

sara and i chat and eat..
everytime i look up...i see ahmed staring..
even Mohd was staring at me..

its been years..
I havent seen him since Beuirt..
our college days..

he didnt change much.
he looked older..
his beard was thicker..
he gained a bit of weight which looked good...

his eyes so intense as before..
Hazel..
Beautiful hazel eyes with long dark lashes..
His eyes were mezmerizing..

i was drifting in my thoughts...
what had happened between us..
i loved him so much..
i was so hurt..
still hurt from what he did..

there was no fight ..no issue between us..
we were a perfect couple..
after our breakup..
id see him
all the time..
we were in the same uni..
it was so hard at first..
we stopped saying hi..
we ignored each other..
i could see his eyes.
alwys on me..
those hazel eyes..
following me wherever i go..

i could tell..
he loved me..
but there was something stopping him..
i tried to talk to him thru my eyes..
i looked at him.
hoping for a change of heart..
nothing...
i moved on..
i became different..
no longer was i that naive girl..
falling in love with Mohd was so easy...
i really did think he was my perfect match..
as if we were meant to be..
thats what i used to think..


the only reason was that i wasnt Kuwaiti..and his friends advised him not to date a FOREIGNER..(hello since when are bahraini considered foreigners)..

i was lost in thought..a msg woke me up frm my daydreaming..
i looked down at my blackberry expecting it to be Ahmed..

my smile vanished..

" you are, and always have been, my dream"

Mohd..the romantic...i dont this i have ever gotten a cuter msg in my life..
i got butterflies..
i read it again and again..i felt like i was back in time..
when we were together,.
that rush..those emotions..


i havent seen his number in years..
i was shocked...
and confused..

what does Mohd want with me now...

why is it when a possible maybe is about to happen an ex comes along and complicates things..WHY!!!

a few seconds later i get another msg..thinking its Mohd again..i see its from Ahmed " need to talk.call when ur free"

hmmm...
i get nervous...isnt that a phrase for a usual breakup..we need to talk..oh no;/ i really like Ahmed..

wats going on..
did Mohd say anything to him;/;/


to be continued.......

kuwait part 3;)

i reached sara's house..
tired from the flight.

its alwys the short flights that get to me..
i dont mind the longer ones..shorter ones gives me a constant headache!

sara: i want details about the GUY now..everything spill..
so i re-cap the whole story starting from bahrain airport..sara kept shouting at the exciting part..
lool..i know she was happy for me;p
i was deciding whether or not i should msg him...
i decided to take a nap and msg him later...sara agreed on this plan as well..

i took a nap..while sara was opening my suitcase looking for possible outfits for our dinner today..in kuwait everyone dresses up..
as if they stepped out of vouge..
so not like bahrain...in bahrain ppl r really simple..when compared to kuwaiti's fashion..which I LOVEEE..

After one hour n a half..i wake up..
feeling refreshed,,,
a nap was just wat i needed...
i wake up and reach for my bahraini no.
hes on my mind..i send a msg..saying: hi..
after hitting the sent button i realize that i didnt even put my name..how stupid!
immedietly my fone rings..its HIM....Ahmed the keeper;)

Me: aloo
Ahmed: 7mdila 3ala salamtich;p did u just reach home?
i laugh: no i took a nap thats why..
Ahmed: noum el3wafii sweetie...
me: how did u know it was me..
Ahmed: honestly i was waiting for u..im glad u msged..i actually thought u changed ur mind or something..
(supper cute..i didnt know guys worry like us;p i keep thinking they dont care..)
me: la eshd3waaaa Ahmed.
Ahmed: so tell me shno ur plans for the night
me: athen bnroo7 slider station bs...i love their food..
Ahmed: ok slider it is..
me: what does that mean hehehe
Ahmed: i wana see u..so i guess im going to be there as well..
me( blushing): mm..ok..i guess..
Ahmed: see you soon and talk to u later sweetie pie..
( SWEETIE PIE..ohlalalalalallalalaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa..i love him already;p )

i tell sara about this and she gets more excited..she thinks i should dress up..
so i wear a cute short white eyelet dress..
and put on red lipgloss..
and tie my hair in a ponytail..and wear my fav tod slippers..

sara gives me the heads up for my outfuit and we go to slider..at around 8ish..

as soon as we walk in..
i see Him..
not my keeper..

but it was a blast from the past..

what the hell..

Mohd was sitting with Ahmed the keeper...

Ahmed smiles and waves..

i wave back

and Mohd looks at us both suprised.

and goes in deep discussion with Ahmed..

to be continued.....


(fyi:mohd, my Kuwaiti ex from uni)

k-u-w-a-i-t part 2

his name was ahmed ha..
love that name...
i smiled..
i just said: nice to meet you..im yara..

he looked suprised..
and he said: i love that name..(LOL)

i didnt know what to say..for some reason..cat got my tounge at that moment..but ahmed continued.." so where are you heading to ya yara..

me: kuwait on jazeera
he laughed: hahahha no way.. me too..
i was happy..i never get this lucky
a cute guy talking to me randomly in the aiport
we are heading to the same destination
he was normal..from what i can tell so far
and we were on the same flight..what more can i ask for..

then we heard a loud voice: FINAL CALL JAZEERA AIRWAYS..FINAL CALL..
we both looked at each other and laughed since we were lost in conversation..

and he said: would you mind if i sit next to u in the flight?
me( JUMPING UP AND DOWN TO MYSELF): trying to act cool...yeah sure..id like that..

we were walking to the terminal.
and we were going inside the plane..
we were both seated in diff places..
however..my cute abercrombie guy told the stewrdess: Darling she's with me..can you manage us two seats?
the stewrdess melted..i mean he's cute..dimples when he smiled..
ofcourse she said: ofcourse sir i will look for a place..

we were seated next to one another in less then 5 min
our plane wasnt so full..which was a good thing..


we talked all the way to kuwait..
what i leared abt ahmed:
1. he graduated from the states..
2. hes 28...PERFEct age
3. he visits bahrain for work
4.he has one older sis and one older brother..making him the baby of the family

he was so sweet..
is he just a player trying to get some action since im going there for the weekend..thinking to myself..

As if ahmed read my mind..

listen Yara i dont usually do this..i hope u understand..seriously i dont know why i did..i was drawn to you...
i didnt want to regret not doing anything..
im forward and i know what i want..

me(thinking straight for once when it comes to guys): u seem nice..and i do want to get to know you more..
friends?

ahmed smiled : friends.

that eased up everything for me..knowing that this is just a friendship and not a meanigless fling for him..
he was geunine..he really wanted to get to know me..

we exchanged numbers..
and we said we might do coffee in kuwait....


He waited with me till my friend picked me up...
I saw a girl walking from afar.
i looked at him..
thats my friend...i better go..

AHmed: it was really nice meeting you..best flight ever;)
HOW SUPER CUTE IS THAT!!!

me: thanks for waiting..

ahmed: anytime..

msg me when your home safe..


hmm..doesnt that sound to much of a boyfriend...

i walk towards my friend
she gives me a hug for like 5 min
and then asks..who's the hottie ur talkng to!!! details..asap...
( fyi: my friend's name is sarah)

i tell my friend his name..
her jaw drops..
and she says..wooow..btw..hes an eligiable bachelor..thgeeeeeeeeeel.ma y36eh elbnat wayh...kila work work..
shnoo swaitelaaayyy tell me...
hehhehehehhe

since kuwait is a small world like bahrain and every1 knows each other..\i was happy with the feedback i got..
i felt it..

ahmed seemed like a keeper...(crossing my fingers and wishing that was true)

until next time.

K-U-W-A-I-T

i was heading to Bahrain International Airport.

my sister dropped me..

i was dressed down in my Juicys..i picked an electric blue..to uplift my mood..

i had my aviators on..and my hair was in full motion- very goldylocks..except it was light brown;p

i tried to cheer myself up..

going in the duty free i noticed a cutie checking me out..

he was really tall..

and wearing sweatpants..abercrombie..

hmm...nice...

he was dressed in a fit grey shirt and navy sweatpants..

as if he stepped out of a magazine..

really..

he was cute

he caught me checking him out as well.

and smiled..

usually i would look away and act all serious and aloof..

however since this was a weekend of fun.

i decided to LIVE A little..

i smiled..

heheh

and he smiled even wider..

i walked away...looking at what to get..

the usual makeup stuff..

then suddenly i heard a manly cough

i looked around..

and found my abercrombie guy waiting for me...

all he said was : Hi

i smiled..

i didnt even feel shy for some reason..

i was like : Hi

he was a little bit embaressed and he said: im really sorry i dont usually say hi to random girls in airports..( i laughed)

he eased up..

and continued: so,,mm..my name is ahmed


to be continued..

post- wedding blues

so ive been feeling sorry for myself..
looking at old pics..
talking to our mutal friends about it..

i was sad..
the day of the wedding..
i was msging my friend who was there..

hmm...he didnt invite me
my friends thought it was rude but seriosuly i cant go to his wedding and watch him with someone else..
i was in a state of being heartbroken..
i wasnt in the mood to go out or see anyone..
i wanted to be by myself.

i realized a lot of things about myself..
1. i shouldnt give myself a hard time for what i did when i was younger
2. i should let go and embrace life
3. i shouldnt live in the past (i.e listen to sad music and look at old pics and memories of us)
4. i should suuround myself with positive and energetic ppl and not friends who put me down,.


with this frame of mind, i decided to let go of this depression..
i will find a guy who will love me even more than fahad
and will not let me go..

so i decided what any girl does to cheer herself up.
i packed my bags and visited my best friend from college in kuwait,,,
WEEEEKEEEND TRIP...

I cant sleep..im in bed..trying to stop thinking of u..i really want to call u..im so close to doing it..im thinking bk and forth..call him..or not..call him or not..call him or not..

U knw im thinking to pass by ur wedding just from the outside..i know..im so pathetic..i want to see u on ur wedding day..will u b happy?? Dear readers pls help me out in my tough situation,,im lost,confused,hurt and heartbroken..i am in need of a guy's advice!!! Im falling apart......

three days..

three days left...

im thinking of you
still thinking of you all the time

my friends tell me to get over it
its been so long
and how come im still hung up on u
they dont understand how much i love u
i have never in my life felt this way about anyone
they have never felt this way
or they would have understood what im feeling

i look at my fone all the time
every call i think its you
and my heart sinks a little everytime its not you

i go out
and i think il see u with her
i want to see u with her
i want to see what u will do
will u act like u dont know me
or will u look at me with those big eyes of yours and tell me you love me with them

i can read your eyes
thats how well i know you
and how well you know me
we dont need to talk
we dont need to say anything
we understand each other on a different level..
if i see u
atleast i can know what ur thinking about
i really want to see u

i go out
looking for u
searching for u
where are you Fahad..

at home.i listen to our songs..
i close my eyes
to take me back to the time
i was urs
and you were mine
my head is somewhere else these days
i daydream all the time
wishing it was real..

i want to feel your touch
i want to feel your kiss
i want to touch your face..
i really do..

i go back in time with our memories..

remember when we were walking by the beach at night
and your holding my hand not letting go of me
and we kissed
that perfect kiss
no one was there but us
it seemed like out of a book..
we sat on the sand
you were facing me just looking at me.
telling me how much u loved me..your eyes..so honest..so inviting..
we talked about our future
i could touch my dream..
it all went away in a flash..

everything reminds me of u
i know this is such a cliche to say
but its true..
songs remind me of u
my room reminds me of u
" it was 2000, around 11 or so...first time we talked on the fone for hours and hours and we had skool the next day..
remember fahad?
our first fone call..
i was so happy..

i go back to the time of our graduation as well..
when you kissed me
in that hidden corrider
hoping that no one will see us..
remember that fahad?

i dont want to let you go
what can i do?
im lost and confused..
you broke me
i cant be with anyone else
its not fair..
have u cursed me
i am unable to love after u
thats not normal..
its been years
i just cant seem to take that step..
i cant let you go
i dont want to love anyone but you
i dont want to go out with anyone but you
i dont want to kiss anyone but you

remember our first date fahad
i blush everytime i think of it

i cry everyday at night
no one knows how much i really love you but me
i dont think you even know how much i really care
cuz if u do
trust me you will be with me

i want to hear your voice..
i wish i can call you
but im so scared of your reaction
i know you'll act all tough and be cold with me
i cant handle that right now..
its not fair..

if i can go back in time
i wont do that mistake..i will take good care of u..
i hate the way i think
im not supposed to think like that but i do..its not healthy
im really scared

if you do go ahead with your wedding
should i just give up..

you know what your cousin told me the other day
she was like he might get a divorce u never know and he will end up with you in the end after all
the way its supposed to be
imagine even ur cuzn thinks like that..
she knows we are meant to be..
i cant wait for that what if
i cant stop everything
ive done tht for years
and you have not acknowledged it
you have ignored me
i deserve it
for what i did
but not to this extent..
should i let u go after u go ahead with this marriage..
should i give up on u and forget u

i wish i can do that
then i wouldnt be a mess..

I LOVE U FAHAD..
walah

my heart is killing me
literally, i can feel it break..
i thought ppl exagerate when they talk about heartaches and stuff
but its true
its all true

i know that when u go to bed
u think of me
looking at ur fone
thinking if u shud call or not
then u decide not to..
i know u so well..

if i see u
u mite break..
i want u to break and call me
and give in to me
ur strong without me
but when u see me
u crumble...i see it..
and u see it.

i just need to see u..i really do..

WEDDING COUNTDOWN!!

the wedding is in 4 days..
how can u say u love me when u picked her
how can u fall apart when u see me
but pick her
how can u long for me
but pick her..

it doesnt make sense..
ur initails are engraved in my class ring..
i cant wear that ring anymore..

your not mine..i hope that something happens in the next four days and u wake up
and come bk to me and to ur senses..

isnt that funny that i still have hope..
im pathetic
or is it because im that in love with you that i cant see the truth

You picked someone else
even though it was arranged
you shouldnt have gone thru with it

your so stubborn Fahad..
so stubborn
you would rather live your life with someone you dont love now..why would you do that..
stop being arrogant..
i know you too well..
get over it fahad..
admit it to urself
you love me
i know you do

u have these walls around ur heart
not wanting to get hurt
not wanting to let anyone in

u think what ur doing will make u happy
i will make u happy

god fahad..dont do this..

i look at our pictures..again..and again..
i love that pic of u with my A/X hat..baby blue looks so good on u..
i feel like ur looking at me when i look at that pic..
isnt that weird..
im losing it..
hmm...

fahad..i spray your scent in the pillow next to me..
i feel as if ur next to me..
remember the last time u were next to me ..
telling me how much u loved me
i close my eyes and go back to that day
u next to me in bed
whispering in my ear
how much u love me..
and how much u missed me..
and u actually cried from missing me so much..

i miss u
i miss the nice u
i miss the loving u
i miss the old u

please break down the walls
please come back to me

i made a mistake
im human..
why dont u forgive me and come back

your cousin called the other day..
i couldnt help it but ask about u
he told me how u think its weird that ur going out with ur so called "Wife" and its not me..
and how u have ur doubts..

im doubting the way u felt about me
dont ppl who love forgive?
isnt that whats loving someone all about..

was i really the one??

ive been laying low for a while
things haven't been going as expected..

we started off again beautifully.. me and fahad..
things were going more than amazing..
it was a dream come true..
but i guess it was just a dream..
and i woke up..

let me tell u what happened..

on a regular day..
fahad called me up..
we were just talking...
really
very casual..
he was out with his dad..
so he had to go..

his dad was super conseravtive and didnt know about us
his mom was the cool one..
she knew all along abt us
and pretty much knew our histroy since high skool..

so im bored at home..
listening to music..
putting on my nailposh..
i decide to send Fahad a cute msg..
just a simple msg..

"miss u..kisses"

i get no response..
thats weird..
one hour
two hours
three hours
four hours..
now i panic...
i mean i know its just four hours..but fahad is the type of guy who calls n texts a lot..

then late at night..
around 12ish i get a call from him...

he seemed weird
pissed
really pissed..
"fahad baby eshfeek 7agernii elyoum"
fahad: y3ni sij mat3rfeen shno swaitay elyoum
im stunned by his harsh tone..
his attitude
his anger

what did i do..


fahad coninues: do u know that my dad read ur stupid msg
i tense up..
who is he to call my msg stupid..
i stay quiet..
i didnt know what to say

he continues: y3ni u know i was with my dad..laish u send a msg..
i cut him off and say: o why wud he check ur fone min bed kil elayam..
y3ni how would i know..and why are u so mad..

fahad ignores me and continues: do u know how embaressed and little u made me infront of my dad..
he got so mad at me..
he told me to end this between us
he doesnt want me to lead on girls..

here i feel as if my body was boiling..
i was PISSED..
so mad...
i cut him off rudely: listen..first of all, im not any girl..i am ur girl..u said u want me as ur wife..
why couldnt u just tell ur dad that..its not like i sent the msg on purpose..

fahad: chofay yara..my dad is right.. i shouldnt be doing this..i cant marry you a9lan

even though i was crying at this point i didnt want to let him know..
: look if u want to let go of me this quick hay shay raje3 lak..ana i just sent a msg..3ady..its not like it was on purpose..ur the the one that came back to me..ur the one who started things..
what do u think i am a game to u
why do u keep playing with me
im not your F----KIG puppet fahad..
youm ull mary me
youm ur scared from ur dad o u dont want me anymore

so ur leading me on..
so i guess im the stupid one right..

listen ill make it easy for u
i will not call u or msg u again..
happy?
dont worry about ur dad reading ur msgs anymore..

fahad was stunned....
taken back by yara's anger
and honesty,,
was he really treating her like his own personal yo-yo..

he was quiet..
yara: i need to go..
(i couldnt hold my tears any longer)..

damn my luck..

why did u come back and break my heart all over again..

this killed fahad..
he wanted to think of what to say to fix it,,
he couldnt think of anything..

yara: bye..take care
i didnt even wait for a bye..
and just shut it..

2 seconds later
i get a msg
" its so rude that u didnt wait for me to say bye"

NO RESPONSE..
i ignore..

i literally cry my eyes out
sobbing
i called the first person to come to my mind
my best friend
and child hood friend
and tell her what had happened..

he was an ass
a coward
scared of his dad


do i really want to be with someone like that..


until next time:*

Once in a Lifetime

i dont think i have ever been this happy..
i havent been writing in my post..i thought id jinx it..
but nw i feel im ready to do so..

fahad and i talked and talked
for days it seemed..
we get each other's jokes
we get each other's mood swings..
i know what he likes..
he knows what i dont like..
its going really well..
the first couple of days were a bit awkward..

let me tell u about seeing him after all these years..
i got a msg on my blackberry..saying.." wana do coffee:P"
i literally freaked out..
i havent seen fahad for a very very very long time..
i had butterflies in my stomache
i called my best friend..and she told me not to panic.
fahad loves me
and i should make the most of my time with him.instead of freaking out..
i get ready..
wear light makeup...he's not a fan of makeup..

i get out of my car..i see him outside the coffeshop..wearing my AIX cap..that blue cap
waiting for me
his whole face lights up
(btw im actually getting tears writing this..sorry very emotional time for me)
all my fears go OUT THE window..
i become me again
i feel like the old me again
i smile back..
and send him a fly kiss..
I hear his laugh..
oh..that laugh...ive mised hearing that..

i get close to him..
he comes closer..
he stretches out his hand.
i push it away and gently pull him closer for a hug..
(i know i know..a little bit forward but i really cant help it)
we hug..and i can smell the amazing smell of his perfume..Creed..i love that smell...
he hugs me..not wanting to let go..
i couldnt help but cry..
to my suprise..
Fahad starts to get tears in his eyes..he's so not the crying type..
i wipe away his tear..
he kisses my forehead..
and inhales my scent..
"Yara..ive missed u so much"

That was by far the sweetest reunion ever..
im in love
in love again..

he was the one that got away but came back..
we have had our problems..
we have tried to move on with other ppl with no luck..
i truly do belive that there are people that come once in a lifetime.
and to me thats my Fahad..
he is my once in a lifetime..

he is the love of my life..
he is the guy that has adored me for years and years..
with him its just easy
i think if realtionships are complicated then,its not meant to be..
with Fahad..it was easy..
loving him was easy
thats why i was a wreck when he left me..

" i love u fahad.we have grown up together..we have loved each other..we have grown apart by we have come back which is the most important thing from all of this..thank u for coming back to me..you are my true and only soulmate..with you i am complete..you are my other half..my better half..i light up around u..
a7bek..walah ana amoot feek
and im lucky to know u and have u

baby..my baby..
you have made me the happiest person


to all my friends who are reading this..i love u
thank u for ur comments that have inspired me always..
thank u for worrying about me
:)
im finally healed..

OUT OF THE BLUE!!!

two days earlier: (Still the present)

Aliyah came back from the gym exhausted..
she was upset about her new breakup..
she was really looking forward to this guy
and things were going well.
she was fed up.she needed to MOVE ON with her life..she had to move on..it was time for her..
and it was getting too late she feared..

she kept thinking about that loser of a guy..and going over possibilites to why he would end it with her so quickly..
was it because he was younger
or was it because he had a lot going on with his family problems..can it be that..or was it just her
had he hated the way she looked..
funny thing was they looked alike..
and Aliyah did something she never did before..she only told her best friend..that was it
no one knew about her new guy..
he was her secret..
aliyah was a blabber..trusting ppl with her issues and problems and this got her NOWHERE..
thats why she had decided to play it safe with the new guy..
she was caring but not too caring
she was sweet but not too romantic..
and she wasnt clingy after all..a trait she belived she had accquired after losing Fahad..

she took a long hot shower..just thinking and recapping abt this..
she went to her room..put on her fav creams and sprays..(this was a ritual she had..pampering herself was one of her fav things to do..) she put on her fav cream of the moment..bath and body works vanilla..which smelled heaVENLY....

she sat on her bed..got her laptop and opened the latest episodes of grey's anatomy which she had downloaded..
she was deeply watching it with full concentration..
then her fone rang..
it was a weird number
Aliyah's heart fluttered
is it him
was he calling her to apologize....it had to be..

Aliyah picked it up and to her suprise..
she heard a familiar voice
a voice she would never forget
or ever will for that matter..

Fahad: halla Aliyah
Aliyah in shock: halla Fahad sh5barik
Fahad: mshalla 3laich 3refteny 3gb kil hal sneen
Aliyah without thinking said the first thing in her mind: eshlon ansa 9outik.mgdar
then she went quiet..it had just registerd to her what she had said!!! she wanted to play it cool but ofcourse when its a significant ex all words go out the window!!
Fahad: im sure ur suprised why i called..i just wanted to tell u....this is really hard and u might think im weird for being so honest but

..
..
..
..
..
..
.

i broke off my engagment.. i couldnt go through it anymore..
i still love u Aliyah..

Aliyah was in shock and disbelief..the phone literally dropped from her hands and she had to pick it up
the day she had been waiting for her had come...
she was waiting for Fahad
it was always Fahad
deep down she was wishing he would come back
she had only decided to move on after she had lost ALL hope since there was no communication btw them for FOUR years..

Fahad continued: its been four years..ive missed u everyday of these years.
i keep picking up the fone and shutting it
i couldnt make this call
i wanted to forgive u
bs i was so stubborn
i thought i would find someone else to make me forget
but actually it made me love u and appreciate u more
u were young
and we all make mistakes
ive made my fair share of my mistakes and u would alwys forgive me..
who am i to judge..
i just want to tell u
give me a chance..
i want u
u r the one for me
i want to marry u
not someone else..
it was alwys u Aliyah
im so sorry for pushing u away..

i dont know what to expect..i know this is out of the blue for u
but when i got engaged
and realized how serious it was
i couldnt go thru it
i couldnt hurt the girl anymore
i didnt love her
and i couldnt
no girl measures up to u in my eyes..

so Aliyah
what im trying to say is

"wil u give me another chance?"




to be continued....

bye my readers..hope u enjoyed my story..
it has reached the end of its course..

Right Now!

Yesterday:

i waited..
i was nervously looking at my phone,checking the time..
i was at a friend's birthday dinner and all i can think about was Him...

it was 9pm and still nothing
it was 10pm and nothing

just as i was about to leave i recieve two weird texts from my guy..
first txt is simply my name..
how weird
second txt is him telling me that he has low battery incase i call and his fone is switched off,,

whats going on here?
what had changed him..
why is he acting distant and aloof..
i knew all along in the back of my head..
it was all becuase of the day before..

let me give u a recap..
the previous day:

it was our first date!
fist date..
we agree to meet for coffee..we've been talking for quite some time and he really wanted to meet up
He was so sweet and caring and thoughtful
and i really feel for him
i usually have my guards up and a barrier to my heart
but with him it was all different

i opened up to him and truly let him in
i welcomed him with open arms
and was finally letting go of my prior demons
he opened up to me and confided in me..which i absolutely loved..

during our coffee date, im shy
and he's not
i keep playing with any object on the table to help me ease my tension
and he picks up on that
and jokes about it
he finds it enduring..

we talk and talk
it was your amazing first date..
where u cant look in his eyes for too long since ur shy
i was blushing
he was too

he was saying all the right things..

i stay for an hour only since it is afterall only date one..

he walks me to my car and opens the door..

i was estatic
literally flying on air..
so i wait a bit and send him a txt msg ..i know i know bad move
i just couldnt wait till he sends one..
i KNEW it was mutaul..
and we had just stumbled on SOMETHING GREAT...us

there was chemistry..and just overall...a good feeling about the whole thing...
we were set-up by our friends..
they thought we would make a cute couple..and also..we kinda look alike which is cute
both of us are fair..

he sends msgs back and forth..
and i was happy all throughout my day...

that night i wait for a call and i get nothing..
just a msg saying he had a fight with his dad and he's in a bad mood..

the next day (which is yesterday)..

i wait..for a txt..
for a call
for anything
i mean i just saw the guy..he's supposed to be calling and texting more
not the other way round
i was begining to doubt..
then i got a txt
very cold
very aloof from him

my doubts get the best of me..and i think of what had i done
did i say something in our date?
did he not like the way i look? this was getting the best of me..my self-esteem was slowly going down and down..

so..all day i wait for his call..since he said in the txt he will call..
i get nothing..
absolutely Nothing!

i get upset more and more by the hour
is he just in a bad mood..
i just feel something is wrong..

then at around 1pm..
i get a msg from him
FINALLY..
i smile..im sure he was texting to tell me what he's up to and when he will call..

to my shock
he sends a very long msg..
talking about how hes not ready for commitmment and hes not in a place right now in his life to be in a realtionship..
and that im a "very sweet girl"
i cringe..
i re-read the msg over and over again in disbelief..
was that a prank forward..
it wasnt
this was really him
what had gone wrong after date no.1?
during the date we talked about date no.2 and he was telling me lets plan something early on the week..
the date was flawless.
so what changed him..

i started crying
and crying.
till i had no tears..
i was hurt
i had let myself go
and this is what i get..
i was really hurt..
i was looking at the whole thing as a BIG picture..
how can he dump me after our date
he was the one who dying over me
REALLY...
i was going over what was said..
did i say something??
did i do something?

i was being myself..and i totally let him in my life..
i had gotten so used to him..
i was falling for him..

was it really my looks?
ppl compliment me on my looks but maybe im just not his cup of tea
can that be the case?

was it something i said in the date?
i just cant put a finger on what had gone wrong

we are in diff places in our life..maybe that was his issue..
i dont know..maybe he wanted to play around and im not that girl for it..
from what our friends told me he wanted a realtionship so why not with me:(
is there something wrong with me?




i JUST DONT know..

im so sick and tired of being out there..
im fed up


my readers..i tell u everything about me..can you pls help me out ...im really upset..
im at home writing this.i didnt have the heart to go to work..
explain to me what went wrong..
im really really upset abt Him

the mistake that ended it all...

somewhere down the line..Early 2004..

Aliyah got a call at 2 a.m at night from Fahad..
She picked up so excited to hear his voice
But to her suprise

" ALIYAHH,,,Fahad was shouting at the top of his lungs..
DO YOU KNOW..SALMAN AL....

Aliyah got shocked..how did he find out about her summer fling that didnt last at all and that had fizzled just a few days earlier..
She and Fahad decided it was better to be friends..so her friends after a while introduced her to this guy who studied in the UK..
he was a complete bore who was still hung up on his ex-gf who cheated on him
Aliyah was just a helpful friend..
their relationship didnt sky rocket as expected..and she had ignored the dude just a few days ago..
she didnt know what to respond..she panicked..
ALiyah: fahad..i dont know who ur talking about..walah walah..she was started to cry..he was so angry..she had never seen this side of Fahad
Fahad: you dont know who im talking about..YOU DONT KNOW HA..I DONT WANT TO EVER TALK TO U AGAIN..U THINK BAHRAIN ISNT SMALL..I KNOW EVERYTHING..

and the line went dead..

Aliyah was in disbelief ..what had just happened..
She felt so guilty and hated herself..she should have given this new guy a chance..it was obvious he talked about her and news got to Fahad..
What had she done..she hated herself so much at that moment..

oN A side note: Aliyah lost intrest in this Salman guy since she realized that the grass isnt greener on the other side..it actually made her appreciate Fahad more..she had fallen in love all over again with Fahad..just a few days back she was going to tell Fahad that she wants a relationship again..she was in love with him more than ever..this is the sucky part since it was a mistake on her behalf that Fahad will never forget..even though she and Fahad were friends at the time..she had hurt him so much..and she hated herself so much..for such a long time afterwards...she would never forget that this mistake ended their special love..she had lost the love of her life..he was "the one that got away"
Aliyah would always reminisce about this time..its a little bit fuzzy now since she had blocked this bad memory
She hated herself and her world ended for her.really ended..
she would try to make herself feel better and think that she was young and immature and didnt know what she wanted..
she wasnt strong in relationships and she let her friends influence her descions..something she NEVER does now..but still..Fahad is gone..her Fahad..her Love..her everything..
she was a cheater..
she had cheated on Fahad..(true that they were friends..but Fahad never saw her in that light)
she had hurt him
till this day Aliyah has never forgiven herself for her immature mistake..


Aliyah sobbed till she felt her heart will come out of her heart..
she was dizzy..
she was light-headed...
she needed fresh air..
what had just happened here..
had she lost her relationship in a few minutes...all went down the drain in a mere second..
one day she had it all
and now she had nothing..absolutely nothing..

Aliyah called back Fahad over and over again..
he would just hit "end"..
he wasnt picking up her calls...
she sent him txts..apologizing..explaining..with no response..

This was the case for the coming few days..txts..emails..no response..
she emailed his roommate and cousin (even though she knew Fahad hated ppl interfering in their relationship) and he had promised to help her out since he was aware of what had happened..
Aliyah was beginning to get desperate.
she called again..
and to her surprise.." this line is not in service anymore"

Fahad had changed his number!!!!!
Fahad had changed his number!!!
Fahad had changed his number!!!


She had to take a drastic measure..
She was about to call his brother..
His brother wasnt fond of her at all..and was in Bahrain..
She called him up
and he was shocked to hear from her..
she said she was a friend from school and asked for Fahad's new number
Fahad's brother knew it was Aliyah and gave her the number..he was shocked and didnt know what else to do..
she had caught him truly off-guard..( he wasnt aware of what had happened btw his brother and Aliyah or else it wouldnt have been so easy)

Aliyah waited for a bit..trying to think of what she will tell Fahad..
she wrote down notes in her book..of what she wants to say
she was so nervous..
To her surprise..
she got a call..
a "no number"
she picked up and it was Fahad..
Fahad obviously mad: what the hell r u doing calling my older brother...
Aliyah started crying.." im so sorry i didnt know what else to do..u made me take things to a drastic level..why would you change ur number.."
Fahad felt a pang of guilt
he had read her msgs..had he jumped to conclusions..
had he not given her a chance to speak up
he paused..and let out a loud sigh..
"ok Aliyah tell me ur side of the story since you've been trying to get a hold of me.."


...and hence, a spark of hope was ignited in Aliyah's heart..



to be continued...


side note to my reader: pls do not hate me for what i have done to Fahad..this was so hard for me to write..as i have blocked this mistake from my memory,..
it took a lot of gut to write this down..
i hope you realize this and dont hate me for it..

a little bit of the present..

late 2008..

Aliyah was doing her usual Sat routine at night,..she was online chatting with her friends..
She was dreading the fact that she had work tomorrow
She wasn't motivated at all
She wasn't working in something she dreamed of..

She was in desperate need of a change.she was fed up.
She wasn't living the life she assumed she would
Bahrain was dull compared to the vibrant ,upbeat Beirut..

She was chatting away ..listening to music..in her room..
when all of a sudden..her childhood friend sends her a msg on msn..

"Hey Aliyah..i want to tell u something before u hear it from a stranger..
Aliyah got a bit worried..what the hell was he going to tell her now..she was a little bit nervous..

hER heart dropped..when she read the following msg

" Btw..Fahad got engaged about two weeks ago..to this girl..it was arranged.."

Aliyah felt as if someone had slapped her
She knew this day was going to come eventually
but she secretly hoped that A. he would come back to her and tell her that he cant live without her
2. she would get engaged before he does..and be happy once and for all..

sHe tried to act calm and cool..and sent the following msg
" oh i heard about it..thanks for being sweet and thoughtful to my feelings ( Aliyah hated lying but she was afraid that he would tell Fahad..and she wanted him to know she was ok with it..even though she wasnt!!!


Aliyah logged off msn..and shut the doors to her room
she wasnt in the mood for anyone..

She was deep in her thoughts..
Time had flew by and she was still stuck..

She had never felt the way about anyone the way she did about Fahad..
She was scared..
she felt pressured from her family and friends to move on...

People close to her were getting married left and right..and she was in a standstill in her life..
What had happened to her..
why is she unable to meet someone new and get on with her life..

She felt guilty...
She knew it was her fault..the whole breakup with Fahad..
she wished she could turn back time..and fix things..
She didnt appreciate him until it was too late..
Just thinking about it makes her want to cry
even thought she did the unthinkable..he had to forgive her..
she was young and stupid..she didnt know better..
if he loved her..
would he have forgiven her for what she did...
but he didnt..
does that mean that Fahad didnt love her..
or what she did was so big that he couldnt come bacl..

Fahad changed after Aliyah..
He wasnt the same again
He hated girls and didnt trust them..
He had shut off that feeling..
He both loved and hated Aliyah for what she did to him years and years ago..




Fahad was deep in thought..
Was Aliyah thinking about him now since he had gotten engaged..
does she still think about him from time to time..
It had been such a long time..
It had been a year since they last saw each other by accident..
Was he too harsh in the way he treated her..
Or he was better off without her..
Fahad tried so hard to sleep that night with no luck..
He was doubting his descions..his past..his present and his future made no sense to him now..




UFF..
Aliyah was frustrated..
she had to do some drastic change in her life..
Fahad was gone
and she had to accept that reality

He will never come back..
He will never call her..
it was so sad..and pathetic in a way that Aliyah still had feelings for Fahad..
She hated herself for feeling this way..




All hope had died that day...

missing You...

it was late 2004..
Aliyah called him up..she had to hear his voice..
They talked everyday..
She wasnt about to let him go
Even if he was...

She called..waiting..one ring..two ring..
fahad: aloo
Aliyah: hi baby
Fahad: aliyah pls dont make this harder..why r u still calling me
Aliyah: fahad..ur my family eshlon i just stop talking to u..
Fahad: ok talk to me bs pls dont make this harder then it already is...

Aliyah couldnt take this anymore..
She started crying..
bawling like a baby..
She couldnt breath..
She had a headache frm cying so much..
She told him: i gotta go..talk to u some other time..i cant...Fahad cut her off..
her tears alwys get the best of him
" 7beebty..tekfain...dont cry..pls baby dont cry..3wartay galby..
Aliyah's heart meleted
He still loved her..
Hearing those sweet words were all she needed to get thru this dreadful night without being his girlfriend anymore
To her, the world had no meaing..
She truly believed thAt
He's the one
He was alwys the one for her
Till today..she refers to him as the one that got away...*Sigh*
He knew her inside out
He knew everything about her..everything..her family..her friends..her likes..dislikes..her mood swings..what to say..
Fahad alwys knew what to say and when to say it..
He had the magic touch with her..
She closed her eyes..and tried to visualize him..
The last time they met..
The last time they kissed
She didnt think it was going to be their last kiss
She wished she knew back then...
She wanted to remember every little detail..but her memory failed her..

She sighed heavily...as if her heart was too heavy for her to carry..
Fahad: esmila 3laich min elaaahhh..pls aliyah latsween feeh ro7ich chethe...3warty galby..plsss
Aliyah: im so sorry..i dont know what got into me..wala mat3arf eshkether welhat 3ala 9outik..
mat3arf.walah..elee 9ar mo ebyady..
Fahad couldnt take this anymore..He felt at ease with her..will he ever feel this with another girl..when he talks to her he loses the ability to think straight..she still had that effect on him..should he just cut her out completly..he couldnt do that...she was afterall..a big part of his life and still is..but not romantically anymore..he was set with his descion..there was no going back...
Aliyah continued: Fahad..just talk..i just want to hear your voice..
Fahad felt as if he was melting little by little as she said the cutest thing to him..
Fahad: eshtbene agol y3ni.mmm....3ndee group meeting in a bit..o i have this essay to hand in about bahrain goverement for my politics class..
As Fahad began talking about his day to day isssues..Aliyah just listened..to his voice..not to what he was saying..she was mezmirized by it..
He was the voice she had to hear before going to bed..it was a rule they had..she told him earlier in their realtionship that she cant sleep without hearing his voice and its true..
you cant imagine how hard it is to sleep without it now...trust me you cant imagine...

Fahad excused himself and Aliyah went to bed exhausted..not physically but mentally and emotionally..
she was drained out..she had cried her eyes out..and she still had a headache..
she reached for her dresser and got two panadol pills..and waited for its effect..

while she was waiting..she looked for his perfume..she sprayed the scent on her pillow..she loved doing that..as odd as that was..she felt closer to him.she felt like he was there with her still..

This was bad..
She had never been this depressed in her life..
She was seriously losing it..
she was isolated and felt so alone in this world...

Aliyah kissed his picture goodnight..her favorite one..of him in starbux wearing her armani exchange baby blue hat...
She switched off the light..

she was Praying for things to be better in the morning..
" dear god..please let him come back to me.."

it was so sad..
Aliyah went to bed with tears in her eyes..

She wanted him back
She had to have him back..



**post dedicated to my Fahad..miss u still after all these years..
