chapter 37

-Reem-

"Reem 7abeebty wain ray7a?"

I'm in a rush, i slept in.... I hate when that happens.

"Mama mara7 a6awil ray7a ilmdresa 3ndna student council meeting ma3a the principle oo yaya ilyom awal yom o ana lazim mit2akhra "

"Hal 7aza? Its saturday.."

"ee mu beedy hathaila rules the new principle"

Fay was sitting with my mom. I can feel the hate, she's burning inside. Its the fact Fahad wins and she loses. I'm kind of used to her, her weirdness. i try to not focus on her alot.

Speaking of, I wonder .... Since I'm seeing Fahad today, I think i'm going to have to open up about Faisal.

i don't trust that guy. He's not backing off. I can't tell Layan, plus Fahad has more information that is enough to explain everything... I'm going to make him talk!

What's up with the game plan thing ? why did they send me that message? Why's Faisal acting like he's some evil genious.
 Most importantly why does Fahad trust him? Is he that blind to not see what Faisal is doing? Willa bas ana illy shift that side of him.



I cleared my thoughts and started to look at what time it is

It's "13:05"

I'm so late!

I quickly went outside to call my driver and nanny and i'm off.

I remember the warning about layan not going with her cousin ghizlan... I couldn't bring my self to tell her the truth so I called ghizlan and layan and we all went out with my driver.

those were my thoughts if anyone was wondering.. it's just another thing I need to talk to fahad about

-At school-

Since the hallways were emty I started running like some crazy lady and when I got closer to the room I slowed down, fachait ilbab my entrance was like I'm george of the jungle and I'm new to the city.


embarrasing. I  Acted normal , tried not to show it. So I hid it with my smile.

The eyes I met were those of  Fahad. He was standing at the end of the quiet room infront of the board.

"Hallaa Reem sharaftay, have a seat :D " He said welcoming me .

"Halla feek , hi everyone sorry I'm late !"

the room had only 20 people excluding the principle.
I looked for the nearest seat I found

"Reem ta3alay jidam fee kirsy 7agch hny"

ok. this is not expected, this is actually maw8if mu7rej infront of the people here!

There is no emty seat! kan ga3ad y2asher 3ala mokan a popular guy who is already sitting plus that guy helped him during his elections.

"laa its ok"

"e bas hatha mokany?" -Ahmad -tall popular-

Wow. How Awkward.

I'm still standing.

Fahad: " Ee adry bas laana a7san lo inkoon Ana ma3ak copresidents inkoon a7na both in charge.  fa Reem takhith mokanik shrayik?" he said with a charming smile

Bas we all knew inna fahad didn't really mean that

Ahmed held his hands up as he stood

" la yuba tgi9 3ala minu, we all know who calls the shotsbhere and it's not me"

Hahhaha. C'mon a7mad ragi3 ilwatho3!

fahad winked

"..... Zain" -Ahmad

"Thank yoouu!" Fahad said

I looked at the floor awkwardly trieng not blush

Everyone tried to hold back laughter

someone actually coughed

fahad pointedly looked at me then at the chair

then he sat down at the head of the table

I walked to the seat next to him and sat

he smiled in relief..

We had the meeting, we shared important ideas, discussed many things.

I was zoning out...

Fahad:  "... And that's why Reem should be our new vice president!"

Me:" huuh? "

I'm really confused.

FAhad :" Hathaa  daleel 3laa inch mu mentabha , please be on the same page" he smiled

Me:" ooh ok sorry"

Fahad :"  I bet your thinking about some serious plans for the future haa"

Me :" eee akeed" nervous laugh

chan astaw3ab what he just said

me:" la7tha what did you say about me being a vice president, I can't be a vice president, I have stage fright"

fahad clears his throat: "Aladdin moment people,( then he turned to me)  do u trust me reem."

the whole conference went quiet chan yistaw3ibon inna he's serious
6ali3ow chinna maynoon la2ana ohwa maynoon


me: um yeah

fahad points at me: no that was a trick question, after what I just said you should be freaking out, but I appreciate your mujamala, congrats "

I looked at him pointedly but he was talking to someone on the other side

me: " congrats on what"

fahad looked at me:" to being our new vice president"

I gave him my most serious face

me:" but-"

he broke me off, chinna Faisal

he gave me a serious look

" no buts reem"

I shook my head

he smiled and then stood up and dismissed everyone

we all started walking towards the door except fahad

fahad:" all except reem"

I stopped and walked back

Tfaja2t

me :" Halla?"

Fahad:" your vice president and that's final"

me :" muu bkaifiik"

fahad smile icily : I'm president I can do anything I want

-pause-
and then I changed the subject

me :" Fahad, 3ade please akalmik b mwtho3 shwaya private"

fahad :" yeah sure of course"

me:" it's about Faisal"

Fahad:" what about him?"

Me :" ... and something else about the game plan.."

Fahad:" 9ayer Shay?"

Me :" no, well.......... yes."

Fahad :" Reem ga3da tkhar3eeny goleely sh9ayer Faisal fee Shay? did they hurt him?"

Reem; "la! bas... did Faisal ever break a promise."

fahads eyes grew serious

no

fahad reminded me of Faisal in this moment

fahad:" never"

me:" Faisal promised me something we made a deal and he broke it, so I have the right to do the right thing, to fix this"

fahad was quiet for a moment

fahad:" what's this about."

me: " It's huge and you might not believe me bas it's true, faisal and I made a pact, he would trick layan into unknowingly signing a marriage contract, in order for her to get half of her and faisals fathers businesses, bas he promised to stay away from her, and he broke the promise, so I have to go tell her, so that she won't get hurt"

he stood there quietly, unsurprised

and in that moment I realized

he knew

fahad:" she signed " he said it and set his phone behind me on the table

my mouth fell open

I turned to walk away

bas he continued

fahad:" reem, you need to think this over before doing something you will regret, if you tell her now do you think it will help?   no . were almost done we just need to wait for the shareeekat to be transferred into her name, it'll take 7 months, for the will, contracts, and marriage to be finalized, they need to make sure inna the marriage isn't a farse"


he turned away

fahad:" because it is, although he doesn't care about her, this is for her own good, this is for her and no one else, you need to keep this to yourself, because if she knows shell get hurt and if you don't tell her...."

suddenly a voice behind me says:"  then she never has to know"

i turned and saw no one, just a phone, fahads phone..

chan it disconnects

I turned to fahad and then pointed at the phone

he gave me a sheepish smile

fahad:" I just wanted to give him a heads up, you know..... just incase you decide to tell her"

I turned to the phone

me:" I can't believe Faisal just heard the whole conversation, ma3ana 3al 5a6"

he shrugged

chan a door behind us opens

I see Fatma she looks freaked out

Fatma:" fahad you need to help me, plz, he's going to tell my brothers, he has pictures! baroo7 feeeeha! please please help me, Faisal will get me killed for sure."

fahad looked at her:" you did this to yourself, I can't help you because Faisal is only doing this for me, this is his way of feeling better, of fixing this, if you have a problem with that, then you go tell him, otherwise I'm not helping you, especially after what you tried to do to me"

she started crying bas left

I turned to him

me:" see what kind of a person is Faisal ? he's a horrible monster! he's doing this to FEEEL better ? who would do that? lihadaraja ma 3inda thameeer?"

fahad looks at me and smiles

bas it was anything but nice

fahad: "Faisal is the best person I know, as to what kind of a person he is? sometimes I think I made him up, because I don't know what I'd be without him, he got me through the worst days of my life, he saved my life, he did everything for me, and he didn't even expect a thank you. no, what kind of a person am I? if only you knew,,


( FLASHBACK)
( na9ee7a to all readers listen to homes by foxes while reAding the flashback )

FAHAD

I didn't even know what was going on

all I remember was nearly passing out in a bar and Faisal coming in to get me out

he was pulling me out of the bar and I was laughing, was it a bar or a club!

how did I get here? I laughed, I mean I'm drunk

why is it so funny?

we got out and I barely caught the anger in faisals eyes.

we saw some guys in an ally out back, one of the guys was throwing beer bottles at the wall

me:" HEEEEEY, NO LITTERING!!!!"

the man turned towards us

we were in new York I remembered that much

my dad just reappeared into my life a week ago NO NO

man: Want to run that by me again punk?"

he came towards us

Faisal:" he's drunk, he doesn't know what he's saying

me:" EVEN WHEN IM DRUNK I KNOW BETTER THAN TO LITTER"

I started to laugh, but tears fell too

I couldn't face my dad, no no I will NOT think-

faj2a I heard the woosh of a switchblade

he came so near, but i couldnt stop laughing

faisal let me go and i could barely stand

faisal: put the knife away, he didnt mean it"

man:" the hell he did, the world doesnt need drunks like him in it, call it a favor, you wont need to worry about this peice of shit"

he came closer to me.

suddenly faisal pulled out  a gun

and it wasnt funny any more

man:" oh so you want to play games do ya wise guy!"

faisal" i dont want to hurt you, PLEASE put the knife away" faisal seethed

the man lunged for me

and i heard it

!!!!BANG!!!!!
 

and i saw the look in faisals eyes.

 pure black horror.


( flashback ends)







REEM


fahad looked miserable, his eyes looked far away


fahad:" he died. instantly, he took the bullet in his heart"

fahad bit his lip" faisal just stood there, i was still drunk bas kint aw3a, i knew we had to leave, so i pulled him, bas he wouldnt go he told me to leAve him, that he deserved whatever punishment theyd give him, i kniw from his face that he wished he was the one who wouldve died not tHe man"

me:" then what?" i said in a quiet voice

fahad lookked at me withnsad eyes

fahad" i asked him , if he got arrested then who would take me home?. he told me hed call someone or put me in a taxi but the  i said, i would go and admit to have been the one tonkill the man, and that if he didnt come with me, i would take all the blame and faisal will be responsible for two deaths,,, so he took me home"


we stayed there in silnce,i just couldnt believe this was faisal we were talking about.


he snapped out of it.

fahad:"just, just dont judge him til you get to know him a little better. anyways you wanted to talk about something else. the gameplan?"

me:"ya"

i told hiim what happened on ask and that i shut it down even when they told me not to. i saw his face drain from color.

fahad:"you shouldnt have shut it down.... why didint you tell me sooner? we have to get layan and faisal now!! ill tell you about everything when there with us"

we rushed out of the room only to hear a shreik

we ran out to see a car driving off so fact but we saw blood on the ground

we looked towards the source .

i was about to scream but fahad held me up and rushed me away because

their lay fatma on the ground eyes open

but seing right through me.

and as we got into the car fahad dialed faisals number and murmured

fahad:"get layan and get to pinkberry airport now!"
