Foreginer Ch.2

Perviously..

As we left her chalet there was a guy leaving from the chalet in front of us. We looked at each other eye to eye and moved on with our day.

Suddenly I got a email notification from the university of valencia. I turned my phone and opened my email.

I handed her the phone and showed her the email.

Ghaida: adrii bs el7een lazem agool lahli!!

3thoub: nzli nzli bs ashoofch bokra.

Ghaida: yalla ciao.

I go in the chalet and the acceptance letter is still circling around in my head. I'm scared and nervous and so freaking happy. I actually thought I wouldn't get in but now I have to face my family. Espically turki I have no idea how I'm going to be able to leave him.

Yousif: hala wallah b a7la E5t 3ndi (and he comes in for a hug)

Ghaida:(hugs him back) Ana elw7eeda A9lan :p

Yousif: gege j3t

Ghaida : 6yb e6lblk y3ni ma afhm

Yousif: 6b5eeli amanaaa

Ghaida: agool bsss

Then I realized it would be a good time to tell him.

Ghaida: fineee aish tbi?

Yousif: ma alagi E5t a7sn mnkkkk mmm madriii swi Eli tbeenn

At this point my phone was still on the emails page because I haven't touched it since I came in. I put it on the table and forgot it was on and left it there. Yousif sat on the same table my phone is on while he waited for me to cook..

Yousif: (he took a glimpse of my phone) gege aish ha4a?

My heart stopped I didn't want him to find out this way. I was speachless.

Ghaila: (acting like it was nothing) aish fee?

Yousif:(reading the acceptance letter out loud)

Shoot how could I be so dumb!!

Ghaida: yousif knt bgoolk w 7na nakl

Yousif looking at her with a big smile on his face.

Yousif: ma t3rfeen gd aish I'm proud of you!!!

(hugs ghaida so tight)

Ghaida: 7mdellaaa knt 5yfa agool lokommm

Yousif: yalla yalla nakl 3shan nroo7 ngoolohommm.

Thank God! My heart was beating back to normal. He's okay with it. Yet I am a bit scared to tell my parents I feel better now that yousif is on my side.

We go home and my whole family is upstairs on the couch. The timing was perfect. Tell them all at once but nope I wanted to tell turki first.

I got turki dressed and told my parents that we were heading out. I took him to chili's since it was his favorite restaurant.

Ghaida: tukri 7beebi

Turki: yes gege

Ghaida: I'm finishing school soon w ymkn lazem aroo7 bra s3dia 3shan adrs zeeyada.

I felt reliefed. This might actually happen. I might study in spain. Fahdah hates it but with convincing she'll be okay.
