[ Awhile later ]

Waad stopped crying & wiped her tears.

David said, " Don't put too pressure on yourself, It's okay, If you don't want to compelet telling me your story. "

Suddenly, Waad took a deep breath, After that she started to complete telling him her story & said sadly, " When I got back to my home, I found that Salem has already arrived to our home before I did. "

" I got shocked, When I saw him was sitting with my parents & my sister Yara in my father's room, As you know my father has quadriplegic cerebral palsy, so ever since the time when he had that terrible accident, He could neither move nor talk, So all of them got into his room in order to talk to him. "

"Suddenly my mother was going to say something, I thought that she would say that Salem asked my father to let me & him get married. "

" Back then I hadn't have the guts to look at Salem's face & my heart was pounding so fast, My palm was sweating - I was completely terrified, I don't know why? but I felt that all feelings which I was experiencing it in that time were able to took my breath away."

Suddenly, My mother said, " Please.........I felt as my heart is going to explode......Then she completed her wards.........Waad congratulate Salem & your sister Yara, They will get married after a Year from now & their engagement party will be next week, We have no much time, We have to prepare everything for the party from now. "

" I was totally shocked, I have not ever expected that one day, He would ask her for marriage instead of me, All that was a pretty long way from my imagination that would happen one day. "

" Because, They have never talked to each other before, My sister likes my cousin & our cousin is a lovesick over her. "

" Back then, I didn't know what to say, I felt as if invisible big knife has gone directly through my heart, It was the first time that I experience that tribble pain, It was the first time that I felt such bitter deeply inside my heart. "

" I got lost in my thoughts & sadness appeared on my face, Suddenly, I heard my mother as she yelled, " Waad, Waad, Waad, What's wrong with you? "

" Then I pay attention to my mother words & said, " I'm fine, I just have a tribble headache. "

Then I smiled to them as I said, " Congratulations Salem, Congratulations Yara. "

" After that my mother said, " Have a seat Waad. "

" I sat with them, They chatted & laughed alot , But back then, It wasn't me who was sitting with them, I wasn't acting as usual, I was so absent-minded, Sadness filled my eyes. "

Salem felt that so he said, " Waad, Looks feeling unwell, I have to go now & let her has some rest, I have alot of things to deal with it & I will go back in the evening. "

After Salem's departure.

"The three of us, Me , My mother & my sister Yara, got out of my father's room, Then I talked to them & said, " What's wrong with you? "
