Reality 4

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.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------




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.

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?"

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
