Just Another Life; Chapter 7

Its been two days  since I last talked to Hamad, I cant think of anything else I can barley sleep or even eat all I do is think day and night about how I feel about what he said and about him,

 “what is wrong with you the past two days?” asked Maryam

“ nothing” I answered

“something is wrong with you, you don’t even eat and we all know how much you love to eat” Fatima said

I just ignored her, I spent the day in the hotel room I didn’t feel like going out.

“who are you talking to” I asked Fatima when she came back

“Marwan” she said smiling

“ask him about Hamad, how is he” I told her

“he told me yesterday that he was in the hospital” she said calmly

“what and you just tell me now” I said screaming

“well, I didn't think of a reason to tell you I mean you barley talk to him or about him” she said

I told her what happened, 

“wow and you just decided to tell me” she said “do you love him” she continued

“I don’t know, when I am with him I feel safe like nothing can ever go wrong,  I can be me he makes me feel good about myself the way he talks makes me smile, when I think about him a smile magically appears on my face without me even noticing, and I miss him” I said

“okay I guess you love him” she said

we just sat there in silence for a while i tried to soak in everything that i might actually be in love with him and the he is in the hospital and nobody told me, Fatima’s phone vibrated she looked at it then she smiled her face glowed,

“get dressed we are going to the lobby wear something nice” she said running towards the door

“I don’t want” I screamed but it was too late she was already out, I see no harm in me going out so I got dressed 

“is that the best thing you have in your closet” Fatima said as she walked in

“at the moment yea” I said

“ughghgh” she said as she dragged me

“why are you all dressed up” I asked curiously

“unlike you I want to look good” she said

as the elevator door open I see Hamad standing there next to Marwan,

“why didn’t you tell me” I told Fatima

“because if I did you would’ve stayed in your room while we both know you need to deal with it” Fatima said

she actually had a point, and seeing Hamad in front of me made me feel better , we walked towards them I can feel how awkwardly i am walking, I was standing in front of him looking up to him and he smiled at me, I hugged him so hard he hugged me back “finally I get a hug “ he said with a smirk

I punched him on the shoulder “why the hell didn’t you tell me you were in the hospital” I said to him “and you too” I told Marwan as I looked at him, "what happened why were you in the hospital” I continued

“nothing I just had the flu” he said

“you know that doesn’t make sense” I said

“it was nothing” he said as he hugged me

I could feel my eyes swell with tears but I hold them back

“awwww” said Fatima

“shut up” I said looking at her

“and there she goes ruining the moment” Fatima said

“lets go eat I am hungry” I said

“there is the Hamda we all know the food lover” Fatima said with a tease

I just smiled and walked

“there is this charity ball thing after tomorrow will you go with me your mom said okay” Hamad said

“I cant I don’t have a dress and I don’t have to time to go buy a dress” I said

“Fatima is going with Marwan you cant leave me alone I need to buy a suit too we can go together tomorrow” he said

“okay” I said a bit too excited 

I went back to the hotel and slept like a baby with a smile on my face, imagining how Hamad will look in a suit
