chapter 39

-REEM-

Faisal and Layan left us in pinkberry.

Fahad: " ana 9ara7a ta3abt" he said while grabbing a chair and sat down.

I looked at him raising an eyebrow

Me: " enta ta3abt? How do you think I feel??! I'm forced to lie to my best friend, how do you think that makes me feel? like shit! i have to sit here and smile and act like everything is ok when i know that the guy sitting next to her is her husband.....how am i supposed to live this down"

Fahad just looked at me. I am not in the best mood, everything is complicated I wanted a solution.

then he offered a small smile

Me: " nothing to smile about.cuz then comes our other problem. the gameplan" I said almost to myself. I sat down infront of him, "Fahad, enta mu khayef? You could be a threat, they can use you. They can easily kill u just like how they did to Fatma! I still can't believe she died." I couldn't help it, tears were falling.

Fahad looked worried, he pulled his chair besides me and started talking to me in a low voice: " Reem, I know what you saw was a shock, mara7 asami7 nafsy for knowing I'm one of the reasons why you had to see that. What happened happened, it wasn't your fault. "

He handed me a napkin so I wipe my tears. I looked up at him,
Me:" Fahad, your not getting that your the closest thing to Faisal? You could get.."

Fahad interrupted :" No, don't even  think it "

Anything is possible, they killed Fatma just like that, she's innocent. Killing Fahad would be the best revenge.

Faj2a I heard a sound coming...

Me:" do you hear that?"

Fahad:"hear what?"

Me:" listen...."

We listened, the sound came closer,but we could hardly hear it.

Fahad:" ee chinna 9ot .... Hatha faisal! Ga3d ynadeeeny!! "
Fahad quickly got up and he ran to the escalator, I followed him.
We went down willa faisal alone. he had his back to us hands on his face

Fahad:" F9aiill!!! Khair sh9ayer?"

Me:" Faisal what's wrong!!!"

Faisal didn't even look at me.

Fahad " sh9ayer?"

just then Faisal turned to us

hands slowly coming down. falling down to his sides

 looking at Fahad, he was standing alone infront of us no sign of Layan.

faisals eyes were bleak, lifeless

Me:" Faisal........ Wain Layan?"

Faisal looked at me, then at Fahad.

Faisal:" they........ kidnapped her"

He said that and I can see that he's burning inside charcoal eyes burning, you can also tell from him squishing his cigarette packet and turned it into  pieces. crushing his cigars

(THEY KIDNAPPED her)

That could also mean.....
My best friend is getting killed,




I fainted.



................





I woke up and found myself laying in Faisal's car in the backseat.

Faisal was driving, Fahad was sitting the seat next to him.

I looked out the window, we're still in the parking lot.

Fahad:" F9ail 5alny asoog, you're furious you could get all three of us killed"

Faisal:" you don't talk to me, let me think "

Fahad:" ya3ne shlone!! Let me drive already, I know u when u drive remember last time?? Athakrek??"

Faisal: " FAHAD! LAZIM YA3NI? ! YOU HAVE TO MAKE ME YELL, YOU NEVER LEARN OR CHANGE DO YOU??!! "

This is the first time I hear him yelling.
I could live my whole life without having to see him do that, that was realllly scary. He exploded. 

They still didn't pay attention to me, I didn't make a sound. Fahad and Faisal didn't talk for a while. Like 3 whole minutes passed and we are on the road heading to I don't know where!!

Layan ........ Layan. Where did they take you? What are they doing to you?..

I started crying

Fahad turned to me : " reem meta gumtay?"

I was crying like a little girl

Me:" Layan matat?" I asked demanding an answer

Noone answered me, Fahad turned to his position, I'm guessing he was waiting for Faisal to reply.

Me:" Faisal.... Layan matat?"

Faisal answered me calmly and clearly:" she's not dead, they're using her to get to me . Its me  they want"

I felt a little relieved, but I still don't trust what that asshole says. He crossed the line, Layan's life is in danger she's been kidnapped.

I stopped crying for a bit, I wiped my tears with my sleeves, I looked at Faisal's eyes through the driver's miror,

revealing me death stare to Faisal:
" My other half is either getting raped-killed- tortured-abused.. you know I won't forgive you Faisal. We were perfectly fine with our lives before you came!! And don't even try to convince me you're a caring person! "


I got so angry at Faisal, Fahad tried to calm me down.

Fahad:" 5ala9. This isn't the time, please ohwa broo7a nawy 3ala roo7a! 5aleeh ysooog ilrayaal 5alnilga Layaan o b3dain golaay illy btgooleena"


Faisal's eyes practically cursed me with ugly words.

Faisal continued focusing on the road.


Faisal :" Ask me if I care about what you think Reem..Will you just shuuut thee F---"

Suddenly, Faisal's phone gets a text.


Faisal held his phone,read the text and threw the phone to Fahad and made a quick U-turn, drove faster passing the red lights infront of us,

" I KNOW WHERE SHE IS"
