Chapter 10

Today is the day. Yousef, his mother and apparenty two of his sisters will be coming over for the shufa.


I'd be lying if I said I wasn't nervous, even if I don't wanna marry the guy, Im still nervous.


Sultan has been more than perfect and supportive, he knows my reasons and respects them and that just makes me love him so much more. He has also been talking to me all day, it seems as though hes afraid of losing me.


Malak:Ghada w Reema byjoun b3d kitha 5 minutes 3shan y9al7oun sh3rii w my makeup, fa la tst'3rb if I dissapear.-5:12pm-


Sultan: Im sure you're a stunner bdoun makeup, la t5aleenhum yzaynouk ktheer 3ad you're beautiful enough and I dont want him staring at you for long.-5:12pm-


Sultan: No, don't leave me.-5:12-


Malak: Inshallah 3mii i wont put alot. W I'll try to keep texting you bss ma a3rf wallah.


We kept chatting up until Ghada and Reema came and snatched my phone from me right as I told Sultan enhum w9lu w e7tmal kbeer ys7boun jwalii. I was right.


We went over to my dresser and lfuni away from the mirror 3shan ma ashouf shaklii.


First it took Reema about thirty minutes to perfect my hair into light waves, then about another ten minutes to get my hair right by pinning the front of it to the back.



B3dha Ghada estlmt wjhii, hatha kla w ana ma m3ii jwal wla agdr ashouf shaklii.


Her hands swiftly and expertly worked on my face and her face was deep in concentration.


After about twenty minutes she was done.


Malak: Yay w a5eeraaan, yallah w5ruu abii ashouf shakliii!


They moved away so I can turn around in my chair, I turned and got teary eyed,


I looked incredible.


Al7mdella I was granted with good looks naturally but, wow.


My makeup was perfected, little face makeup, just a bit of concealer on my blemishes, then a bit of bronzer conturing my face making my good features pop, my eye makeup consisted of winged eyeliner and a bit of eyeshadow in my crease my coordinate with my dress and mascara. And finally, bold red lipstick rested on my lips

My hair was lightly waved, split in the middle, and the front was pinned back.


I felt like a princess going to meet her prince, too bad I wasn't going to meet my prince.



I turned to ghada and reema and gave them a big hug, i squeezed onto them for dear life as I tried my best not to cry.


I looked at phone, oh wow its already 7:20 w al'9youf are coming at 8.


I opened whatsapp and found Sultan has texted me. I replied bdoun nfs just cause my heart was seriously breaking that it isnt him that is coming to ask for my hand in marriage.


W klam Fai ja b rasii "Awl ma dra enna feeh a7d jay y56bk almfrou'9 fz w ja hu y56b, theres no point in waiting." She told me.


I tried to put everything to the back of my head and just try to get tonight over with b5eer.


8 came quick since I sat with my mom trying to calm her down as she was having a panic attack that everything was gonna go wrong.


Shes actually nervous for me, she actually wants this to happen. She talked to me about how etha ma art7tla Im not mjboura to do anything and that I should always remeber that.


The doorbell rang and Mishari came down from upstairs in his thoub and '3tra, awww 7beebi.


My mom shooed me upstairs to get dressed.


I headed up to my room and my nerves came back, Ghada and Reema helped me get into my dress without messing up my hair, allahuma enna shufa mu zwaj.


I looked in the mirror, this time fully dressed and ready.


Ghada&Reema: Mashallaaaaaah wallah bynhbl yousef!


I sighed and sat on my bed with them forcing myself to not go near my phone. After about twenty minutes Fai came upstairs and told me that it's time for me to go downstairs, oh god im so nervous.


Fai lightly pep talked me w e7na nazleen, tgoulii encouraging stuff. Wallah ale5t n3ma!


We got to 'mjls al7reem' d5lt w slmt 3la 5altii and his sisters, zeenhum wallah they look so nice.


His mom doesn't look old she looks like one of those younger moms, one of his sisters would be about 19 esmha Lamia and the other maybe 16 this one is Yara. Klhum jameelat mashallah.


I sat and we had small talk, ys2lounii what university I go to and we got to know eachother, I got along with Lamia really well. And I talked with 5alti Shatha b3d.


Until my mom and her looked at eachother and 5altii broke the ice by saying. "Malak mama shra2yek td5leen mjls alrjal al7een?" 


I nodded not knowing what to say, I looked at my mom and she just smiled nodded like go ahead. 


I left mjls al7reem and made my way to mjls alrjal I breathed in a huge breath before I went in, and I kept saying in my head, dont trip. dont trip.

Awl ma d5lt and my eyes reached him I tripped, I FREAKING TRIPPED!

Hu gam mn mkana bsr3a w gal "bsmella 3leek" bss bayn 3la 9outa enna y'97k 7ta bdoun ma a6al3 3leeh. Ufff fashlaaa!

He held my hand and helped me up, I stood up straight and looked at him for the second time, this time I really looked at him.


He. Was. Handsome. 


Very very very very very handsome omg.


He flashed me a smile and said "5n aw9lk llkanb we don't want you falling again" 


Omg his english.


I laughed and he held my hand the whole way to the couch, b3den jlst w hu fk ydii 3shan yjls next to me.


We started talking, not normal swaleef though, he asks the wierdest questions that just make me die laughing before I answer them.



G3dna nsoulf and joke around for about five more minutes ella td5l umi w uma while we're both lauging again.


I turned to look at them w ebtsamat'hum shaga alwjh.


5ala said it's time for them to leave so we both got up but he stood there and I was going to make my way toward my mom w 5altii ella he whispers gbl ma amshii.

"Oh, and you look beautiful."
