T3arfoon in movies kaif ekoon in a part ba3dain ynqil thany this is exactly what I want you to imagine al7een they are at the wedding.

I walked in, afraid to trip on my own white gown, stopping every 3 steps so that people could get a clear look at me and so I would be able to catch my breath. I finally reached IL koshah. As soon as I sat the camera flash didn’t stop as people came 3ashan ebarkooly.  I have no idea how many hours passed, I only considered the moments, the nonstop greeting, the photo taking, and the dancing. It wasn’t before time did they announce the entrance of the men, the coming of my husband, and the beginning of my new life. They covered me up but I was still able to see around me. I saw bader approaching. I smiled; this is it no going back. He kissed my fore head and stood beside me as the men greeted both of us before leaving. His father and my uncle stood there with us for a picture both kissed my head before they left. 

Bader: nouf 

Nouf: halla 

Bader: a7bich. 

That exact moment I hear clicking heals heading towards us. I looked up. Omg it’s the same girl that was with bader in the picture. 

(You know the one ely min safrat London the mystery bitch is about to be revealed)

….: hi bader.

She bent down and kissed his cheek. At that moment I didn’t know what to do or say, ma tw8a3t fen as chethey mostawa.

…: you might not know me but I’m bader’s girlfriend, which got dumped for you. My name is shai5ah, nice meeting you. Oh 9a7 mabrook. 

She left a couple women where looking at me. My mum and his came up to us for an explanation. I stayed quite just listening to what they were saying.

Nouf: mama mita enroo7.
