Interesting
لكي تكون ملكا مهابا بين الناس ..إياك أن تتكلم في الأشياء إلا بعد أن تتأكد من صحة المصدر .. وإذا جاءك أحد بنبأ فتبين قبل أن تتهور .. وإياك والشائعة ..لا تصدق كل ما يقال ولا نصف ما تبصر.. وإذا ابتلاك الله بعدو .. قاومه بالإحسان إليه .. ادفع بالتي هي أحسن ..فإن العداوة تنقلب حباً ..
*----------- -----*
إذا أردت أن تكتشف صديقاً .. سافر معه ..
ففي السفر .. ينكشف الإنسان ..يذوب المظهر ..
وينكشف المخبر ! ولماذا سمي السفر سفراً ؟؟؟ إلا لأنه عن الأخلاق والطبائع يسفر
*----------- -----*
وإذا هاجمك الناس وأنت على حق .. أو قذفوك بالنقد..
فافرح ..إنهم يقولون لك .. أنت ناجح ومؤثر ..
فالكلب الميت.. لا يُركل !ولا يُرمى إلا الشجر المثمر !
*----------- -----*
نم باكراً يا بني .. فالبركة في الرزق صباحاً ...
وأخاف أن يفوتك رزق الرحمن .. لأنك تسهر !
*----------- -----*
وتذكر قصه المعزة والذئب حتى لا تأمن من يمكر ....
وحينما يثق بك أحد فإياك ثم إياك أن تغدر! سأذهب بك لعرين الأسد .. وسأعلمك أن الأسد لم يصبح ملكاً للغابة لأنه يزأر ولكن لأنه .. عزيز النفس ! لا يقع على فريسة غيره مهما كان جائعاً يتضور .. لا تسرق جهد غيرك .. فتتجور
*----------- -----*
تعود يا بني .. أن تشكر ...اشكر الله
يكفي أنك تمشي .. وتسمع .. وتبصر
أشكر الله وأشكر الناس .. فالله يزيد الشاكرين
والناس تحب الشخص الذي عندما تبذل له .. يقدر
*----------- -----*
اكتشفت يا بني .. أن أعظم فضيلة في الحياة.. الصدق
وأن الكذب وإن نجى .. فالصدق أخلق بمن كان مثلك
*----------- -----*
بني ...وفر لنفسك بديلاً لكل شيء .. استعد لأي أمر
حتى لا تتوسل لأي نذل ... فهو يذل ويحقر
واستفد من كل الفرص .. لأن الفرص التي تأتي الآن .. قد لا تتكرر
*----------- -----*
لا تتشكى ولا تتذمر .. أريدك متفائلاً .. مقبلاً على الحياة ..
اهرب من اليائسين والمتشائمين وإياك أن تجلس مع رجل يتطير
*----------- -----*
لا تتشمت ولا تفرح بمصيبة غيرك ... و إياك أن تسخر من شكل أحد ...فالمرء لم يخلق نفسه .. ففي سخريتك .. أنت في الحقيقة تسخر ممن صنع والذي أبدع وخلق وصور
*----------- -----*
لا تفضح عيوب الناس .. فيفضحك الله في دارك ...
فالله الساتر .. يحب من يستر ولا تظلم أحداً ...
وإذا دعتك قدرتك على ظلم الناس .. فتذكر أن الله هو الأقدر
*---------------*
وإذا شعرت بالقسوة يوماً .. فامسح على رأس يتيم ...
ولسوف تدهش .. كيف للمسح أن يمسح القسوة من القلب .. فيتفطر
*----------- -----*
لا تجادل .. ففي الجدل كلا الطرفين يخسر
فإذا انهزمنا فقد خسرنا كبرياءنا نحن
وإذا فزنا فلقد خسرنا الشخص الآخر ....
لقد انهزمنا كلنا ... الذي انتصر والذي ظن أنه لم يُنصر
*----------- -----*
لا تكن أحادي الرأي .. فمن الجميل أن تؤثر وتتأثر
لكن إياك أن تذوب في رأي الآخرين ... وإذا شعرت بأن رأيك مع الحق فاثبت عليه ولا تتأثر
*----------- -----*
تستطيع يا بني أن تغير قناعات الناس ....
وأن تستحوذ على قلوب الناس وهي لا تشعر
ليس بالسحر ولا بالشعوذة ... فبابتسامتك .. وعذوبة لفظك تستطيع بهما أن تسحر ابتسم ... فسبحان من جعل الابتسامة في ديننا (عبادة) وعليها نؤجر !!
إن لم تجد من يبتسم لك .. ابتسم له أنت
فإذا كان ثغرك بالبسمة يفتر .. بسرعة تتفتح لك القلوب لتعبر
*----------- -----*
وحينما يقع في قلب الناس نحوك شك .. دافع عن نفسك ... وضح .. برر ...لا تكن فضولياً تدس أنفك في كل أمر ... تقف مع من وقف إذا الجمهور تجمهر بني ..ترفع عن هذا .. إنه يسوءني هذا المنظر
*----------- -----*
لا تحزن يا بني على ما في الحياة فما خلقنا فيها إلا لنمتحن ونبتلى حتى يرانا الله .. هل نصبر ؟؟؟
لذلك .....هون عليك .....ولا تتكدر وتأكد بأن الفرج قريب ...
فإذا اشتد سواد السحب .. فعما قليل ستمطر
*----------- -----*
لا تبك على الماضي .. فيكفي أنه مضى ..
فمن العبث أن نمسك نشارة الخشب وننشر
أنظر للغد .. استعد .. شمّر
كن عزيزاً .. وبنفسك افخر
فكما ترى نفسك سيراك الآخرون ..
فإياك أن تحقر نفسك يوماً
فأنت تكبر حينما تريد أن تكبر ..
وأنت فقط من يقرر أن يصغر

TV Series
Modern Family is the title of a comedy show that I currently started watching. It's hilarious and very different because the actors are acting as if they're in a reality show. I started to watch it because the series I watch are either over or on break now so I thought why don't I start watching something new. I totally recommend it if you guys are bored and are up for new shows. I love it because it's a 20 minutes show and it passes by so quickly.
I loved Ugly Betty but unfortunately it's over :( It was my favorite show out of the shows I watch because it was funny, touching and the story has an amazing moral. I can never get bored of it, I even watch the episode more than once. I miss you Betty Suwarez
I also watch Desperate Housewives. Let me tell you, this is an addictive show. ITS A MUST if anyone hasn't watched it yet.
Another show is Grey's Anatomy. I loved the show until they reached season 5 it started to get boring but then it got a little but better but still I feel it lost its touch. But still I do recommend it because the hot doctors lol.
I also watch Brothers & Sisters its nice as well because it illustrates the American family life and not the typical American family life.
What are some of the shows you guys watch? Any recommendations?

Reality 7
Me: "Inzain yalla gomay 5alnamshi la2na ma bagy shay 3ala wagt el '3ada yadowb awa9lich ow aroo7 baitna"
Mesho: "LA LA LA!!!! ANA MA RA7 AT7ARAK ELA LAIN TGOOLENLI QARARICH"
Me: "I'm not going to tell you now I still need to talk to Wahabi until I'm 1000% sure believe me you'll be the first to know, even before my mother. Now lets get going I don't wanna be late. MOVE IT"
She stared at me angrily and I could have sworn I saw steam coming out of her ears....lol
Mesho: "pffffffffffft....FINE!!! I'll forgive you for now but believe I won't forget this, you owe me!"
Me: "KAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAK...insh'allah 3amiti"
I dropped Sha3oola back home and sped off to my house. I didn't want to be late in respect to my father.
Lunch went well and after lunch each of us was off to doing their usual routine, mom and I having our afternoon tea and the men were back to doing whatever they were doing. I was started to feel disappointed because it seems that Wahabi forgot about our little meeting.
All of a sudden...
Abdulwahab: "Yuma itha ma3indich mani3 be'3ait Jawaher fi sha'3la" he said smiling
Talk about the devil..
Mom: "Laa 7abibi ma 3indi mani3, gomay yuma shofay eshyabi o5och minich" she said as she patted my hand
I nodded and said "Insh'allah"
We headed out to the garden to have our privacy.
Abdulwahab: "Yalla Jawaher I'm all ears, golay eli ib 5a6rich"
Me: "Wala madri shloun abdaa2....mthel ma enta tadri wild 3ami Jaber mtqadimli ow ana kilish ma a3arfa 3adil ow ohwa 3inda shroo6 ishway 9a3ba ow ana 7abait a5ith rayik feeh ow fil salfa kiliha"
Abdulwahab: "Laaaa mash'allah 3alaih Jaber rayal ow men a3az elnas 3ala galbi ow mash'allah e5af rabah ow e9oom ow e9ali taqreeban kl farth bl masyad ow ma3inda 7arakat kilish and I'm not just saying that 9j ohwa rayal seeeda...ana el9ara7a atmana ena ekoun raylch 3nda mn a5laq Jaber bas fil a5eeer elqarar qararich 7abibti...."
I kept quiet because I was just listening to what he was saying and trying to assure myself that the decision I have in mind is hopefully a good one.
Abdulwahab: "Ela ta3alay, ma geltili shino ohma shroo6 Jaber?"
Me: "Ummmmmmmmmmmmm....yabini at7ajab ow atnaqab"
My brother didn't see that coming it showed...his jaw literally dropped ! Then he started to rub his head as if he was trying to show me that he was in deep thought.
Abdulwahab: "Faja2tini el9ara7a, ana adri inah ohwa dayen bas matiwaqa3t inah ya6lib menich it'3a6ain..ya3ni tit7ajbeyan bengool ma3laih la2na shay mafrooth 3alaich a9lan bas neqab mara wa7da...9a3ba! Ma agdar at9awar e5ti 7abibti metnaqba ow eb hal 3mr...a9lan ana dayman at6anaz 3ala hal ninja's eshloun e5ti it9eer wa7da menhum"
I couldn't help but crack up on the word ninja...My brother started to laugh with me and I am sure he did that because he didn't want me to think about anything...at that moment I didn't know if I was laughing at my brother's joke or the situation I was put in ...
Abdulwahab: "Okay seriously, tell me how do you feel about the whole situation"
I started to tell my brother how I felt and how he seems like a good man and that I'm sure he will hopefully take good care of me especially that I'm related to him and from what I understood from my mother and his sisters that he is very family oriented which is great. I told my brother that I don't mind marrying him but I need to tell him how I feel, so I asked my brother to give me his permission to have a talk with Jaber.
Me: "Etha ent ma 3indik mani3 ana widi tagool 7ag oboy inah ana abi ag3ad ma3a Jaber wagoola rayi ib shroo6a...kalim Jaber ow gola etha ohwa ma 3inda mani3 5alah eyeena elbait 3ashan narsi 3ala barr la2na ana adri inah omy ra7 tez3al etha refa'9t bdoon ma afakir 3adil bil mawthoo3"
Abdulwahab: "Ma 3indi mani3 bl 3aks fikra wayed zaina...5ali el mawthoo3 3alay ana bakalim elwalid ow Jaber ow may9eer 5a6rich el 6ayeb ya i5ti il3azeeza"
I gave him the biggest smile ever and got up to hug him "MASHKOOR YA A7LA A5 BEL DENYA"
Abdulwahab: "Ga9ri 7isich la ya7sidoona i5wanich el3uthaal...5o tadreen i'3aroon men 3elaqatna"
Me+Abdulwahab: "KAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAK"
And with that we each parted, going back to our concerns
I headed back to my room only to find a billion messages from Sha3oola nagging me about my decision and when I let her know what it is...This girl is crazy seriously, ma3indiha 9abr
I texted back saying "Egoloon el9abr mfta7 elfaraj;)"
In less than a minute I got a text back... "HA HA HA...nesait ath7ak yal sa5eeefa!!! 5ibrich ana mawloda eb sab3at ash'hir mafini 9abr :P"
looooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooool....
I answered her back saying "Kel shay eb wagta 7ilo ya 7ilo :*"
"FINE FINE!!! I'll be patient but remember you owe me...muhahahahahahhaha"
I put my cell down and decided to have a shower attempting to relax myself...
I started to fill up the tub with all sorts of essential oils, I hopped into the tub and the smell of the oils and candles was just perfect and with Bu Noora singing in the background everything was perfect, nothing could ruin my mood.
As I was laying in the tub I couldn't help but think of Jaber and his gorgeous light eyes.
When I was lost in his eyes I could tell that there was some sorrow and pain in them. I wonder what is hurting him?
I started to think of my decision and whether I should go ahead with it or not. I don't want to rush into any decision, because marriage is for life !!!
يا رب اشرح لي صدري ويسر لي امري
I kept on repeating that sentence at least 10 times...I'm really scared I really don't want to do anything and regret it later, elmas2al mu sahlaaa...
I just hope nothing goes wrong with my plan and I get to talk to him.
20 minutes later I decided to get out of the tub and start working on my paper for tomorrow's class. I changed into something comfortable and put on my thinking cap.
As I was busy writing up my paper I suddenly heard my door knocking.
Me: "Tefathal"
It was my brother Abdulwahab.
Abdulwahab: "Jawaher ana kalamt oboy ow Jaber ow ma kan 3indihum mani3...bacher ra7 eyeena Jaber elbait 3ogob 9alat el3a9r, okay?"
Me: "BACHER?????"
THAT WAS FAST!!!! OMG OMG OMG....I DIDN'T SEE THAT COMING...

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
6ooo6 6ooo6 6ooo6 *alarm clock*
I need to tell my mother ASAP....
I closed my alarm, it was 9 a.m. so I quickly got up, went to the toilet to do my business and then tewathait so I can pray the morning prayer. I went down and found my mother sipping on her morning tea.
Mom: "9ba7ch Allah bel noor wl srooor 7abibti" she said smiling "Elryoog jahiz yuma roo7ay eklay"
Mom: "Ghali wl 6alab r5eee9, yalla gomay"
We headed towards the table and my mother started to serve me what was on the table, as always, she loves to spoil me and my brothers. As she handed me the plate that was full of goodies, she noticed that I hardly touched my food and that my mind was somewhere else.
Mom: "Jawaher 7abibti eshfeeech matakleen? tabeen asaweelch shay thany?"
She puts down her tea cup and turns my face towards her "Jawaher goleeli shili sha'3el balich?"
I sighed.
Mom: "Ow ba3dain? Shefti shay eb manamich?"
I nodded.
Mom: "Goleeli esh sheftay?"
So I started telling her that I was with Jaber and it seemed that we were in love and I was so happy and I was laughing but then all of a sudden he starts to ask me why I'm not covered up like he asked me to and that it led us to fight. I told her how I was hurt and how I felt miserable when he left me after telling me how much he loves me and that I didn't want him to leave.
Mom: "Sim3ini yuma, ana ma3arf afasir ela7lam wayd bas ana yetrawali mn kalamich inich etha as3adti ow sawait ili yabeeh ra7 etkoneen sa3eeda ma3ah...ya3ni 3ala elaqal etha te7ajabtay ra7 ykoon '9ameerich merta7 ow ham entay ra7 etkoneen merta7a ma3ah...ana ra7 as2alch akthar ow astafsir lech bas ana galbi igoleee enah ohwa ra7 e9oonich la2na rayal dayen ow 5ayef rabah ow 5alooq mash'allah 3alaih ow shayel nafsa ebnafsa ...7ata matla7theen ishkithir 5awata e7iboona ow dayman ymd7oona...la2na ohwa mu emga9er 3alaihum...shoofi 7abibti ana agool fakray entay akthar ow s2lay e5wanich ow oboch 3an rayhum ow b3dain qareray 3ashan hathee 7ayatich bl a5eer"
Mom: "May2amir 3alaich 3ado 7abibti, abi salamtich...roo7i Allah weyach"
I kissed her cheek and went up to get ready for uni.
As I was changing I started to think about what my mother said, and how she could be right about the 7jab issue. I mean it is something I want to pursue eventually but I never thought I'd wear it at a young age, I was thinking I'd wear it after I graduate from uni.
After going through my closet, I settled on this:
I put my hair up into a messy bun, applied minimal makeup (peach blusher, mascara and a coral lipstick).
As I was going down the stairs I called Wahabi and we agreed to have a talk about Jaber after lunch since we're both free.
I hopped into my car and called my other half.
Calling Mesho...
6oo6 6oo6 6oo6....
Mesho: "HALA WALAAAAAA"
Me: "Hala beeech 7abibti, sha5barich?"
Mesho: "Ana tamammmmmmmmm, enti shlonich??"
Me: "Ana eb5air, yalla 10 minutes wakoon 3indich"
Mesho: "Okie dokie, ciao bella"
I laughed as I said "Ciao"
I picked Sha3oola and we were on our way to uni. I didn't mention the este5ara to her because I knew that I won't be able to tell her everything in details before our classes so I decided to wait till we're done with classes.
Surprisingly the day went by so fast, as if Allah knew how bad I wanted to share my feelings with Mesho. We usually hang out in the garden area to chit chat about how are classes went since we only have two classes in common. We went to our spot and I was so nervous I didn't know how to start the conversation.
Mesho: "Jouj feech shay? Ana 7asa fi shay ib galbich widich itgoolena. I'm all ears tara" she said smiling
This girl knows me too well
Me: "Okay bagoolach bas mabeech itga63ini la2na ma ra7 akamil elsalfa etha ga6a3tini, ok?"
She said okay as she acted as if she is zipping her mouth shut.
I couldn't help but laugh at her. She then gestured for me to start talking.
So I told her everything from A-Z, the prayer, the dream, the conversation with mom.
Me: "What do you think?"
Mesho: "I think you should do what your heart tells you to do because in the end it is your life. Don't let anybody's words get to you. Base your decision on your thoughts and instincts."
Me: "You're right, but I still want to ask Wahabi what he thinks because he knows me very well and I'm sure his words will comfort me"
Mesho: "Yeah there's no harm in taking your brother's opinion"
Me: "But you know what, I think I already made my decision"
Mesho: "SAY WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAT?" she said with her eyes almost popping
Me: "You heard me"
...."to be continued"

HAL POST EHDA2 7AG 7ABEEBTI * L...
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sha3oola slept over in order for us to go to uni together the next day. Since she is always over my place or I'm over her place we both have clothes at each others place.
After what seemed like ages I finally dozed off to sleep...
The next morning Mesho and I woke up to find the most delicious breakfast set on our kitchen table...everything delicious you can think of was set on the table...there were omelets, waffles, chocolate chip pancakes, jam, cheese, olives, labna, mmmmmmmmmmmm and the list goes on....I knew this was all my mom's doing, she wants to take my mind off of yesterday's events...I LOVE MY MOM she truly knows how to keep me happy....
Me: "YUMAAAAAAAAAAAAAA A7IBICH TADREEEN...." I ran and gave her the biggest kiss ever and hugged her"AMOOOT FEEECH, ALLAH LA YA7RIMNI MINICH"
She laughed at how excited I was over food and said "Wala minich ya 7abibti...yalla 7abaybee eklaw 3adil entay ow sha3oola tara hatha kela lekoum 7abaybee"
Mesho & I: "Insh'allaaaaaaaaaaaah yal ghalya"
After our delicious breakfast we hopped into my car to head to uni ....
I was wearing this:
and Mesho was in this:
Classes went by smoothly and they kind of took my mind off of Jaber's proposal...I made a mental note to ask my closest brother Abdulwahab about what he thinks of Jaber in general because I know he will be extremely honest with me. (note: during the next post I'll mention my brothers in details)
After our classes were done I dropped off Sha3oola to her place and went back home. As I was making my way up the stairs I see Edna running towards me with a huge grin on her face..."Jawaher waaaaaait before you go up I want to tell you something"
Me: "What is it Edna?"
Edna: "I just wanted to tell you that something very nice is waiting for you in your room, don't worry nobody saw it" and with that she left
OKayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy! That was weird...5alni ashoof sheno hal something eli etgool 3ana Ednooo
I practically run up the stairs to see what is waiting for me in my room and to my surprise I found the most beautiful bouquet set on my bed.
I loved the bouquet so much because it consisted of my favorite colors.
I was so overwhelmed with the bouquet that I almost forgot to see if there's a card to know who is it from...there was a tiny card I opened it and read the following:
"I saw these beautiful flowers and I couldn't help but think of you and your beautiful smile. Remember that you should always smile because you have a beautiful smile :)"
My heart skipped a beat because I knew exactly who they were from...
3eraftaw mn????????????
MA 3ERAFTAW?? :O :O
YUP THAT'S RIGHT, the one and only J..a..b..e...r.... !!!
I couldn't help but smile at how sweet that was and how surprising because the bouquet consisted of my favorite color...9edfa? yajooooz
I set the bouquet in a vase on my dressing table and just admired them.
I got up and changed into something more comfortable and went down to have lunch with my family. Family lunch is extremely important to my father and we MUST all be there when it's time for lunch unless dad has a meeting or something. I love our family lunch because we get to see each other and talk about what's been going on in our daily lives.
catch up with each other.
Dad: "Yuba Jawaher sha5bar eljam3a? Insh'allah ma nag9ich shay?"
Me: "El7imdellah yuba kil shay mashi tamam....ow el7imdellah dam rasik eshim el hawa ma nagi9ni shay, ent elkhair wel ebrika"
Dad: "7abibti hal ebnaya, dayman kalamah 3asal ow ebarid el galb"
Na6aw e5wani "WA7NA YUBAAAAAAAAA"
We all burst out laughing .....that's always the case whenever my dad compliments me.
Dad: "Entaw el 5air wel ebrika ....entaw esnidi eb hal denya ow mali '3enah 3ankum bas Jawaher bnti elwa7eeda lazm adalilha" and he winks at me
We continued having our lunch and then my father and brothers went their separate while I sat with my mother to have our daily afternoon tea.
We started to chitchat while sipping on our tea and then my mother asked me the question I was dreading...
"Yuma Jawaher mageltili esh9ar ams ma3ach entay ow wild 3amich ow eshrayech fee?"
Me: "Abad yuma, bas ge3ad ekalimni 3an nafsa ow ert7tla bas...."
Mom: "Bas shino? Golay 7abibti eli eb5a6rich?"
Me: "Yuma ana madri etha inti 3indich 3ilm inah ohwa eshway metdayen aw la"
Mom: "Ee galatlee omah ams"
Me: "Eee fa ohwa kan esolifli ow chithi ow faja2ni la2na gali enah yabini at7ajab ow atnaqab etha qararna netzawaj"
My mother kept quiet for a while, it showed she was thinking. She suddenly puts her tea cup down and faces me completely.
Mom: "Sem3ini yuma...mthil ma enti tadreen fil islam mafrooth 3ala elbint tet7ajab laman to9al sin el rushd bas a7na 3umirna ma '3e9abnach 3alaih la2na ma ra7 ta5theen ajrah etha inti mu meqtan3a...ow ana mabeech et'thneen ini ga3da a7awil aqni3ich eb shrou6 wild 3amich bl 3aks, ana bas 7aba awathi7 lach ...ana agool damich irta7teela 9ali esti5ara ow ili rabich katba ra7 e9eer insh'allah ow ba3dain qariray etha 7aba tet7ajibain ow gen3i inah elneqab malah 3elaqa bel deeen....mabeech etfakreen walaw la7tha inah etha intai mawafqtay enah ana ow oboch ra7 nez3al la2na aham shay sa3adtich...inzain yuma"
I just nodded and hugged her "Mashkoura yuma"
"Walaw 7abibti, ana ma sawait shay ana ithimni ma9la7tich ya wa7iditi"
Me: "Inzain yuma ana atra5a9 a7een 3ashan 3alay assignments bagoom a5ali9hum"
Mom: "Allah weyach yuma, ow saway eli etfigna 3alaih"
Me: "Insh'allah" I kissed the crown of her head and went up to my room
The rest of the day went by fast because I was busy with my assignments.
Around 11 0'clock I felt sleepy so I thought now it's time for me to est5eeer before I sleep, and so I did.
I changed into my pajama's and went to sleep hoping to find an answer to my question.
"A7bich, laish mu rathya tfhemeeen?"
"Ana ba3ad a7ibik bas magdar magdar ...ili ta6liba wayed 9a3ib arjook 7awil tfhamni" I said sobbing
He got up to approach me and it seemed like he wanted to hug me but he didn't
"La tabcheeen....ga6a3ti galbi ma asta7mil ashoofich met'thayga ...5ala9 ana ma ra7 ajbirich 3alay shay ow kel wa7id yroo7 eb 6ereeja ow ana ma ra7 asheel 3alaich bl 3aks ra7 ad3eelich inah rabi yaktiblich kil 5air la2nich sij tistahlain kil 5air yal ghalya...Ma3asalama ya aghla mn sekan galbi"
"LAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA...LATROOOOOOOOOO7 ANA A7IBIK"
He started to fade away as I screamed ....

Dedicated to aghla * L, thanks for the amazing support darling, sorry I couldn't post earlier
I was trying to comprehend what I had just heard him say. Is he for real? My parents ili ohma my parents haven't asked me to do this?
I was lost in my thoughts until they got interrupted when both our mothers approached us.
His mother: "Ha yuma, ma sheba3t? 5alna namshi ow insh'allah elyayat akthar" she said smiling
I blushed like hell when she said that and he was just admiring my shyness as he got up.
Jaber: "Insh'allah yuma, enti jahzi a'3rathich ow ana al7igich"
Both our moms started giggling as they went inside, it showed they were extremely excited at our site.
Jaber: "Yala Jawaher atra5a9 ana al7een bas 6elabtich, fakri 3adil bl kalam eli gelta lech ow ana ra7 akoun na6r jawabich...ow lat7ateen ma ra7 az3al etha ma wafaqti la2na kl shay qsma ow n9eeb" he said as he gave another one of his gorgeous smiles
I nodded and said "Insh'allah, may9eer 5a6rik ela 6ayeb..."
And with that I walked him to the door and said goodbye to both him and his mother.
My mom: "Ha yuma, goleeelee ishrayech? 3asa itifagtaw 3ala shay?"
Me: "....ha?" I was so lost, still thinking about what he said.
My mom: "Eshfeech Jawaher 7abeebty, shaklich ta3bana. 5ala9 a5aleech ow ensolif b3dain" she said as she patted my back
I just nodded and headed straight up to my room searching for Mesha3el. Where did she go?? It seems she left.
I grabbed my cell to call her
Calling Mesho....
6ooo6 6oo
Mesho: "HABBBBBBBBB EL SA3AAAAAAAD OW YA M3AIRESSSSSSSSSSS KLOLOSHHHHHHHHHH.....BASHRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY" she said so excited
Me: "Sha3oola laish meshaitay? I need you. This can't be said on the phone" I said coldy
Mesho: "YALLA YALLA BYE, IM ON MY WAY NOW!!!!!!!"
Me: "I'll take a shower now 3ala ma ityeen, yalla c u in a bit"
Mesho: "Okay, Bye"
I turned on the shower waiting for the hot water as I was cleaning my makeup and letting my loose. I hopped into the shower letting the hot water calm my nervous down. I was trying so hard to enjoy the shower instead of thinking about anything that went on earlier. As I was almost done I heard my the room door slam. Akeed Sha3oola :)
"Jouuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuj I'm here, yalla shower faster I'm on my toes"
I cracked up. Habla hal bent dayman on her toes, ili igool betesma3 a5er a5bar el3alam.
Me: "Kaniiiiiiii, I'm almost done. Hold your horses"
Mesha3el: "HA HA HA...not funny"
I got out of the shower wrapped my hair with the towel and wore this:
Me: "HIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII....awwwwwwwwwwwww u look so cute"
Mesho was wearing this :
Mesho: "5aleeena fil muhim Jouuuj I wanna know"
Me: "Afaaaaa.. A7een emdi7ich ana ow u cut me off...pffffft 9j lai galaw jeza ele7san sewad el wayh"
she burst out laughing and I joined her as well.
Mesho: "Yal baykha wala ma aq9d...thanks 3ala compliment *mwa7* bas jad tell me esh9ar"
Me: "Ok ok seriously I'll tell you"
So I started telling her everything from A-Z...about how I was nervous at first and how later on he tried to ease things by being polite and telling me more about himself. Then I finally told her about what he had asked me to do if I accept his proposal.
Mesho: "OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH MYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY GODDDDDDDDD!! WHAT DID YOU SAY??? WHERE DOES HE GET THE NERVE TO ASK YOU FOR SUCH A THING?? IT'S SO PERSONAL!!! I MEAN COME ON, HE SERIOUSLY WANTS YOU TO WEAR 7IJAB AND NIQAB!!!!!!!! is he for real?? what did you say"
Me: "I didn't say anything because I pretty much lost in my thoughts and then we were interrupted when his mom came telling him she wants to leave so I couldn't really respond"
Mesho: "Ow 5alti eshgalat??"
Me: "El9ara7a I didn't tell her. I wasn't thinking straight, I needed to tell you first because I know you will calm me down"
Mesha3el came and gave the biggest bear hug ever. It was exactly what I needed at that moment. I couldn't handle it anymore so I started to cry because I was truly lost. I mean what if I reject him and then things become weird between our families or worse I may never get married I don't want that to happen. Mesha3el started to shush me and just started to recite the Qur'an to calm me down.
"We'll figure this out sweetie don't worry" she said
Let's just hope for the best.

Reality 3
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Me: ".....ummmmmmmm....aahhhhh" I couldn't find the right words so I started playing with my hands until all of a sudden I hear him chuckling.
agoolekum 3an his chuckle???
ya wailiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii minha....I melted right there and then...the sound of his laugh was so manly and sexy ...ya3ni athen etha boya sem3at his laugh bet'thooooooub lol....9adgooooni ...
I had to talk, la2na may9eer athel sakta....so I finally got to courage to ask him what he wanted to drink.
Me: "A9eblek chay, gahwa, lo 3a9eer?" (note: I was still avoiding looking at him)
Jaber: "Chay etha ma3alaich 2amr la2na ana amoot fil chay"
Me: "9jjjjjjjjjjjjjjj, ana ba3aaaaaaaad" I then bit my lip as I realized what I just said
He started laughing and said "Tara 3adi mafeeha shay if we have things in common, we are related after all fa la bod ena ekoun 3indina common likes/dislikes"
I giggled nervously as I handed him the cup of tea and that's when my eyes met his. My eyes dove into his, they were the most gorgeous eyes I've ever seen in my entire life.
Tanaaaaaaaaaaaa7t....
Let me tell you guys about his eyes...
He has almond shaped eyes that weren't too big not nor too small, they were the perfect size. His lashes are long mash'allah and thick which made his eyes breath-taking. Finally, the color of his eyes were magnificent, they were a mix of green and hazel. To be honest I don't think there are words that would describe the beauty of his eyes.
I was intrigued by his eyes, I was so into his eyes that and I had totally forgotten where I was until he cleared his throat.
So I tried to keep myself busy by pouring myself a cup of tea. We both started to sip our tea until he broke the silence.
Jaber: "Egoloon 5awati inich tadreseen bel jam3a, shno ur major?"
Me: "Art"
Jaber: "Mash'allah ya3ni fananaaa bent 3ami. Ya3ni et7ibeen tarsemeeeen?"
Me: "Atmana ini akoun fanana fi youm mn el ayam la2na ana mu bas a7ib elrasm ana a3shega" I said as I was "supposedly" taking a sip of tea
Jaber: "Laaa ana mit2akid inich fananaaa....ow 3ashan tathbeteen lee ena kalami 9a7 ra7 a5aleech tarsimini fl mukan eli enti et7ibeeena ow meta ma tabeeen" he said as he smiled his beautiful smile
His smile btw mu mthil eli eb de3ayat crest wela colgate, laaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa....
A7LAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA EB WAYD....chee he smiles revealing the majority of one side of his teeth, madri shloun aw9if lekum bas it sure is a nice smile...his teeth are very neatly aligned and pearl white mthel ma egolooon ....
3ala asas ma abi atzawejah lol ...
anywaaaaaaaaaaay back to the story
My jaw dropped after hearing what he just said ...I was taken by surprise by his proposition
Jaber: "I'll take that as a yes since elskoot 3alamat elretha"
Me: "...ummmm....bas"
Jaber: "La bas wala shay, ana basta2then men 3ami etha enti 5ayfa men hal shay"
Me: "E9eer khair insh'allah, le kol 7adthin 7adeeth..."
I quickly changed the subject and offered to pour him some more tea. Then I cut him a slice of our famous home made dates cake and served it to him.
Jaber: "Teslam yadich, mafi da3i etkalfeen 3ala nafsich ana a7i6 lee" he said smiling
Me: "Mafeeha kalafa ya wild 3ami...3alaik bel 3afya" I said as I smiled back
Jaber: "Allah e3afeech....You have a beautiful smile btw, you should smile more often"
I turned into a tomato LITERALLY...nazalt rasi men kthir ma kent mesta7ya ...
Jaber: "Asif, ma kent aq9id a7rijich...bas eli eb galbi 3ala lsani.....sam7iniii walla maq9id"
mskeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeen 9a7....kesar 5a6riiiiiiiiiiii mn kithir ma ge3ad yet2asaf...
I changed the subject by offering him some arabic coffee since he had some sweets so he politely agreed and started telling me more about himself because it was obvious enough that if it was up to me I would remain silent the whole time.
He started to tell me about how he started to make some changes in his life. For instance he changed universities and he is no longer a full-time student because he wants to work and study at the same time in order for him to build himself up without referring to his father's money. He is trying his be to become as independent as possible. He also told me about he recently started to become closer to Allah by praying in the mosque almost all the time if nothing came in the way and that he stopped listening to music because its a sin.
I was listening carefully and examining his features as he talked proudly about his love for Islam and Allah and how he wishes to have a wonderful after life as a reward to his good deeds in this lifetime.
I must say, I was proud of him for trying to pray almost all his prayers in the mosque because that isn't something young men usually do these days, so that kind of made me feel relieved but what shocked me the most was when he asked me to do something if we decided to get married.
And at the moment, I wasn't sure if I liked what I had just heard.

Reality 2
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I know I know you all want to know who "he" is but to know who "he" is I have to tell you who I am and how I ended with him in the first place.
May 2004
My name is Jawaher, I'm 19 years old and I'm the only girl between 5 boys bas el7amdellah Allah an3am 3alay ow mash'allah 3indi wayed cousinat ow om methil el'9ahab.
I'm a sophomore at art school because art means the world to me. Mesho is with me at the same university but she's an IT student, basically she is the person I turn to for anything that has to do with technology.
I am not the type of girl that's into dating because I just don't believe in that. I believe that if a guy is interested in me he should ask for my hand in marriage, then we can get to know each other and if we felt that we can get along on the long term then we can officially get married bdoon laf ow dawaran.
Plus, ana mn 3ayla mu7afitha jidan ow ahali ma 3alimooni 3ala yemeen ow yesaar. I'm not saying that they're strict to the extent that they won't let me go out with my friends, bl3aks em5alyeni 3ala ra7ti el7amdellah bas la2ni mu7a9ara eb 5 shabab fa 3alimooni inah akoon seeda ow gweeyah.
Mash'allah I have a lot of relatives but I barely know the guys who are related to me but like I said I'm very close to my cousins elbanat la2na kel yem3a el'3ada eb bait yadi, fa el7areem eb jeha ow elreyayeel eb jeha 3ashan el kel ya5ith ra7ta bas bain fatra ow fatra I bump into some of my guy cousins bel 7adeeqa bas ana abadan mu min noo3i ini asolif weyahum. Ya3ni mathalan etha sheft a7ad, agool elsalam wana mashya bdoon ma 7ata a6ali3 elsha59.
---------------------------------------------------
Fi youm min elayam yatni omi elghurfa ow chan itgooli abi akalmich eb mawthoo3 muhim.... ana hni fekra etwadini ow fekra etyeebni ow ge3adt a7ati enah sheno hal mawthoo3 eli tabi etgoola le omi
"Yuma Jawaher ana 7aba a5eth rayich ib sha'3la ow abeech itjawbini eb kel 9ara7a"
Ehni ana bela3t rejee mn el5ouf ow chan omi itla7ith ow tibtismlee wetgool "La ta7teen Jouja 7abeebty elmawthoo3 ma e5awif"
Me: "Tefathelay yal ghalya goolay sheno eb 5a6rich"
As I listened to what my mom was saying, I started to daze into lala land trying to digest what I just heard but I snapped back to reality when I saw my mom's hand waving to me
"Yuma Jawaher ishfeeech a7acheech ana?"
Me: ".....haa?"
"Agoolach wild 3amich Jaber metqademlech, eshrayich fee 7abeebty?"
Me: "....Umm, Yuma bas ana ma a3arfa. 7ata ma a3tiqid ini athkir shakla ! Ow yuma ana tawni e9'3eeera"
"Adri ya 7abeebty enich mat3arfeena 3adel bas ohma insh'allah ra7 eyoona elbait youm elathnain 3ashan tet3arifoun 3ala ba3ath...lat7ateeen ma ra7 nrid 3alaihum ela ba3ad ma t7iseen inich itra7teela ....eshgeltay?"
Its not like I had a choice!!!! Min wain 6ela3li hathaa
Me: "Eli tshofeena yuma"
My mom got up to hug me and kiss me. It showed she was extremely happy
"3afya 3alaich ebnayti wala ow 3eraft arabeech 3adil...Elyoum roo7ay entay ow Mesho elsoug 3ashan teshtereen lach shay talbeseena enzain 7abeebty?"
I nodded and kissed the crown of her head and with that she left me astonished.
I straight away looked for my phone because I had to call Mesho
6ooo6 6ooo6 6ooo6
Mesho: "Halla Jouj...."
Me: "MESHOOOOOOOOOOOOOO WAINICH SA3A 3ALA MATJAWBINI!!!"
Mesho "Allah ehadach Jouj eshfeeech kani radait 3alaich...3asa ma shar eshfeeech et9ar5een?"
Me: "Meshoo le7gay 3alaaaay wild 3ami metqademli"
Mesho: "OMGGGGGGGGG JOUJ 7ILFAAAAAAY WANASAAAAAA...ay wa7id feehum?"
Me: "AY WANASA MESHOOO ANA FINI EL BACHYAAA" and with that I started to cry
Mesho: "Jouuuuuuuuuuj 7abeeebty shhhhh hadi a39abich laish tabcheeen....is ur family forcing u to marry him? is that why ur crying?"
Me: "laaa..aaaa..."
Mesho: "3ayal laish tabcheen 7abeebty?"
Me: "I don't know the guy Mesho how can I possibly marry him?"
Mesho: "Enzain enzain calm down ana a7een yayitich ow netfaham 3ashan ma ra7 agdar afham 3alaich chitheee....masaft elseka wana akoon 3indich"
I love this girl...she always knows what I need
Me: "I LOVE YOU"
Mesho: "love you too, yalla ciao"
15 minutes later...
The door slams open and Mesho is running towards me with her arms wide open for me to hug her... We hugged and I started telling her everything that went on between me and mom so she started to calm me down and tell me that nothing has yet happened and that I shouldn't be panicking this much because it is my decision in the end.
So we decided to go shopping after she calmed me down and thank God I didn't have to look around for a long time and I was able to find the perfect dress to wear. Simple, elegant and most importantly decent.
The next day went by so fast that I felt Monday came by too soon.
The plan was that Mesho is going to pick me up to take me to get my hair done and then she'll be doing my makeup because I really didn't want to over do it. Ana lo 3alay asawi roo7i jaikara bas 3ashan e'3ayer ra2ya 3ani bas ma bel yad 7eela...
We decided I should have my long pitch black hair done in a simple ponytail in order for my hair not to cover the design on the shoulders. After getting my hair done we headed back to my place and Mesho started doing her magic. Mash'allah 3alaiha she was done in half an hour and I must say I was amazed at what she had done. I seriously didn't expect that I can look this nice but at the same time so simple and natural I really couldn't believe my eyes. My eyes were beautifully drawn with thick black eyeliner that made my eyes look much wider and lighter than usual. My lashes had at least two coats of mascara but damn that made my eyes just like the mascara adds. She applie peach blusher on my cheeks and lastly she applied a very hot coral shade of lipstick.
Just as I was admiring my final look I heard my door knocking...at that moment my heart skipped a beat
Me: "Tefathal"
Edna (elsha'3ala): "Jojo habeebty mama says come down now"
I nodded and turned to look at Mesho who was grinning like an idiot at me.
Me: "Mesho mu wagtich u grin at me walla ana 5ayfaaaa...eshrayich yal 7elwa tanzileen ma3ay 3ashan ichofoonich ow yen3ajboun feech ow ya56boonich intai?"
Mesho: "hahahahahahahhahahahhahhahahahahahhahaha walla enich tha7aktini....a7een 3ogob ma ta3abt nafsi asaweech ajmal el jameelat itgoleen le matabeen tanzeleeen....gomay achoof hezili 6ooolich ow nezlay ....wela tabeeen agool 7ag 5alti inich tabeen 7abeeb elgalb ye93adlech 3ashan tg3doun ehni" she said as she wiggled her eyebrows at me
Me: "Mesha3el ow weya3 ...chub chub ...5ala9 2amri le Allah ra7 anzil...wish me luck Mesho I seriously need it"
She hugged me and kissed me and wished me luck.
I started to go down the stairs as slowly as possible, hoping not to trip and fall on my face. Just as I set my last step I said "Elsalam 3alaikum" without even looking anyone in the eyes. My mom approached me and started introducing me to his mother, his two sisters whom I already knew and loved (thankfully), and lastly "him".
We didn't exchange hand shakes because he is a bit religious and that was to my advantage because I was shaking like crazy, so I just said "Elsalam 3alaikum" without looking him in the eyes.
Rad 3alay el salam ow yaraita ma rad...his voice was 3athaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaab....
"Yuma Jawaher laish ma tro7oon entai ow Jaber tg3doun bel 7adeeqa 3ashan ta5thoun ra7atkum"
I nodded and said insh'allah. I said "Tefathal" still avoiding his eyes.
In the garden my mother has set up a beautiful table with all sort of sweets along with tea and coffee. As we both took our seats, about 5 minutes passed by without me looking at him or uttering a word. Until all of a sudden he breaks the silence and says
"Ma ra7 it'thayfeeeni?"
June 15, 2010
Reality 1
I could hear the music blasting through the walls but even though the music was loud, my heartbeats were much louder, to the extent that I felt that my heart is going to jump out of its place.
I was walking as slowly as possible because I was just too damn nervous.
As I carefully approached the big brown doors I started thinking is this really happening or am I just having another bad dream?
Mesha3el: "Jojo 7abeeeeeeeeeebti breathe breathe, your turning blue!!!! Do you need anything?? Joooooooooooouj I'm talking to you, HELLOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!"
Jawaher: "....ha? Ummmm....Mesho is this for real?" I asked
She sighed and said "Yes 7ayati Jooouj it is, I thought we went over this already. 5ala9 jojo just calm down and show me that gorgeous smile of yours because the doors are about to open up and we don't want our guests to think that the beautiful bride is unhappy now do we?"
YUP.. YOU GUESSED IT! I'M ABOUT TO ENTER MY MELCHA/ENGAGEMENT PARTY
I just nodded my head because lets face it what else could I possibly have done!
Mesha3el is my bestest friend in the whole wide universe, we have been friends since kg and ever since we have been inseparable.
As the doors were opening up I could hear rashid's voice singing shaikhat elzainat. I tried to keep my focus on the song in attempt to forget that I am walking to my kosha because rashid's voice always puts me in good mood
As I was walking walking, I felt all the eyes are on me so I immediately started to panic and I felt that I was about to step on my dress and trip.
After what seemed like ages I finally reached my kosha. I was just about to sit but I saw Mesho running towards the kosha "supposedly" to dance but she was actually reminding me that I should stand for a few minutes in order for people to eye me, the bride!
Mesho 5ali9at her dancing ow yatni itboosni ow itbarek le "Joooooooouja esh7alatich wenti labsa wardi, el'9aher mohammed elblooshi kan e'3ani 3alaich youm gal ya labes el wardi wel ward be5doodak"
I couldn't help but laugh at her, I love this girl she always knows how to make me feel better. " Eeeee yuba th7kaaaai, elyoum 56oobtich ow lazim teth7keeen ow tibtasmaain tara enti mu dasha ma3raka enti dasha 3sh elzawjiya methil ma egolooon you should be happy, '3airich banat mayteeen yaboon yen5a6boun ow ohwa fel akheeer wild 3amich ow shareeech ow akeed ma ra7 eg9ar 3alaich" she said as she smiled
"Allah kareem... Thanks 7abeebty entay doum et3arfeen etray7ini eb kalamich el 3asal. 3oqbal ma afra7 feech enti weli ma5eth 3aqlich eli mo rathya itgoleenli 3ana"
"Ma3ana ma7ad ib bali bas AMEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEN"
Both: hahahahhaha
Hours passed by and I just felt tired from kissing and smiling at people so I signaled for Mesha3el to come to me.
"Mesho 7abeebty plsss golee 7ag omy ini te3abt ow abi amshi'
Mesha3el: "Laaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaish?" Lail7een me ed5law el-reyayeeeel!!!!"
Me: "Eee adri, ohma a9lan ma ra7 yed5loun"
She gasped as she started asking me why
Me: "Meshoooooo ana metafga ma3a omy ow oboy ina ma abi ishoofni ow ashoofa ela youm el3rs"
Mesha3el: "I CAN'T BELIEVE U SOMETIMES JAWAHER!!!" she yelled while shaking her head as she went to look for my mom
THAT'S RIGHT...."HE" won't be part of this night
