Chapter 30 - THE END

Read the post after this for what I'll be doing with my blog after this.

Previously:

When I was done writing it, I stuffed it in my purse, packed, and went to the airport. I kept my apartment here though, I didn't even think to sell it or whatever, I knew I'd want to come here every once in a while. 

--

I went back to the UAE, I didn't know where to go at first but at the end I just concluded in calling Talal and telling him I was back. He was surprised and happy, especially because I was already on the way to his place.

When I got there, we hung out like the old times, before the complications of our love. 

I stayed over in his apartment for two days, it was amazing.

We haven't bonded like that for very long, and having my best-friend back to have my back, to make me laugh, tell me what's right or long, throw water at me to wake me up.. It was a feeling I'll never describe.

I was upset at first that all our love went to waste, but having my best-friend made me realize that I wasn't missing out on much. Love would find a way, if it's with Talal or not.. It will find a way.

After the two days, I went out apartment hunting with Talal and we found a perfect one, extremely close to his! We got some furniture and I made my way back to Dubai alone. 

There was a lot left for me there, well.. There was a lot I had to deal with, a past I should get back finally face. 

I drove the roads I use to drive through everyday and made my way to our big house, it looked so different.

There was so much energy vibrating from the house. 

When I rang the doorbell, I was really surprised. Yousif came out..

With 

A

Baby

Boy

In

His

Arms.

As soon as we saw each other, the looks on our faces were just.. indescribable. 

Yousif: Dalal!

And let me just explain to you guys, he was NOT the Yousif I use to know.

 He was SMILING.

Yousif: Come in, please!

He opened his arms for me, extending them to lead the way.

We went inside and sat on the couches, I was still wondering who the kid was..

So I asked.

Dalal: Yousif.. who's this?

The little boy giggled and looked up at Yousif whispering in his ear.

Yousif smiled and said words I don't think I ever expected from his mouth.

Yousif: My son.

I opened my mouth so I can speak, say something which I hadn't decided on yet but Yousif stopped me.

Yousif: Dalal ana.. I want to talk to you but just.. wait, wait until Jawaher comes so she can help with 7amoodi so we can talk.

I didn't speak, I just stood up, took the boy from his lap and asked for his name.

Dalal: What's your naaameeee?!

I pinched his cheeks, they turned red and he began to laugh hysterically at the faces I made him.

I could see Yousif looking deeply at the both us and a hint of a smile on his face.

Boy: M7mdd

Dalal: Do you know who I a little man?!

M7md: Laa :/

Dalal: I'm your auntie! 

He looked over to see his dad smiling a big smile, giving him a nod, assuring him that I'm not some old creepy lady.

Next thing I knew was M7md hugging me, and a girl coming in about my age, with a weird look on her face.

I guessed it was Jawaher since Yousif got up and kissed her on her cheek. He whispered something in her ear, and her face turned into a big fat O. 

Did he tell her about me?

He whispered something else in her ear but I played with M7md, then she came over, salamat, took M7md and left me, with Yousif.. Alone.

Yousif: Dalal ana.. Before you say anything let me just talk okay?

I nodded in approval.

Yousif: I'm, I'm, I'm sorry. I don't know how I could ever repay you with words, but after you left and told me that.. I tried contacting Talal because your phone was off (remember cause she bought a new number), and he told me that our baby was gone.. No matter how bad that sounds, it's gotta make an affect. I wanted to check on you, but I wasn't the right person Dalal wallah wallah.. I wanted the best for you, and that wasn't me. Talal was there for you and I trusted him with my sister. I know I never showed you anything, but I tried to dedicate my life to better things.. That's when I met Jawaher, and I didn't even date her, I went straight to her parents house and married her.. And And.. And we had 7amoodi and he's a miracle in my life. But not one day goes by that I don't think about you, what I did to you, all those times I hurt you in a variety of ways. I miss you, and I wanted to know where you were but no one knew, not even Talal.. 

He was going to continue, but he was out of breath and words..

I didn't know what to say really, I just smiled. 

Wouldn't you forgive someone if they sounded this sincere? You should've seen the look on his face! It was so scared that I might not forgive him. Never ever did he treat me like a sister, but today I found out that I've always loved him like a brother, that probably explains why I let him treat me so badly without doing anything about it.. But what can we do? I couldn't not love my brother. 

I got up and hugged him..

As if on que, Jawaher came in and made a sound, she was smiling like a baby who just saw candy then ran over to me and Yousif!

Jawaher: YOU GUYS FIXED THINGS? YAY. 

She held my hand and started walking with me. 

Jawaher: I'VE NEVER HAD A SISTER YOU KNOW!! IM SO HAPPY.

I looked back at Yousif while smiling and found him laughing like crazy at his wife and sister.

Then Jawaher stopped, looked back at Yousif, gave him a cheeky smile and said

Jawaher: We're sleeping here tonight with Dalal!! 

Then led me and started gosspping with me, and telling me about her life, her wedding, how amazing Yousif is!

1 Year Later:

I'm back in Abu Dhabi, I've recently opened an art gallery for myself with the support of a family and an amazing best friend. 

I went back and saw my father after that, and he was more than great, and I even ran into Ahmed with my father.. I got him and Yousif to talk, all three of them.. Ahmed, my dad and Yousif.. They worked things out. Yousif, Ahmed and Talal also hit it off and got really close. Jawaher and I are inseprable, she really is the sister I never had.

7amoodi is now about 2 years old!! He's so cute.

I'm working on myself, I'm happy the way I am, no regrets, I've got a loving family and my best friend.

I

Was

Finally

Happy

And

Complete.
