Foreigner Ch.3

Previously...

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

We finished our food with a smile on our face. I basically only have to convince 4 people now including fahdah. We got in the car and we drove back home. I'm scared to tell mama mostly I know baba would be open about it. But mama won't be able to let me go I am her only daughter. In the car I started thinking, maybe I should tell them one by one maybe it would be wayy easier. So I decided to tell 3bduallah first. He's 26 so he might actually disagree with me since since he's scared ill mess up my life. But he went to uni outside Saudi so he might have a feeling of why I need this. We go inside and the first person I see is mama my heart starts beating again I don't want turki to say a word..

Mama: hala wallah, hala blm5tfyeen

Ghaida:Shd3wa bs kna 6al3een 7g sa3aa.

Turki: r7na chili's!!

Mama: Allah Sh3ndi mdl3tk e5tkk

I stared down turki and he looked back just so I can make sure he doesn't say a word. Thankfully he understood and nodded his head.

Turki: L2na t7bni akthr shay 97 gege??

Ghaida: 97!! Mama wen 3bduallah?

Mama: foog b '3rfta.

Ghaida: okay.

As I was going up the stairs my heart started beating again. Hoping he would actually be on my side.

Ghaida: (knocks 3bduallahs door) 3boodi 3adi ad5l?

3bduallah: ee hala 7yak

Ghaida: Allah y7yeek

I go in and sit on the far end of his bed. I decided to just show him the acceptance letter since it would be way easier.

Ghaida: abi awreek shay

3bduallah: laykoon jbti el3eed?

Ghaida: la La shay zen I think

3bduallah: you think? Wreeni bs

I showed him the acceptance letter and he started of with a tiny smile. He looked up at me and said,

3bduallah: tbeen troo7een jd?

Ghaida: ee bs lsa ma glt l mama w baba

3bduallah: 6yb aish tstneen y3ni enti 3arfa Ena byr'9oon.

Ghaida: ent ra'9i?

3bduallah: of course shlon ma ar'9a 3la opportunities zai k4a 7g E5ti??.

Ghaida: (goes in for a hug) thank youuu

3bduallah: yalla 6eeri Roo7i gooli lohom

It was time to tell my parents. I decided to tell them both at once just so I can get this over with. It was about 11 pm at night so I didn't know if they were awake. So I knocked the door and they told me to come in. My heart started beating again. I wasn't scared of babas reaction he always supports stuff like this. But mama's may just stop me from going.

Ghaida: mama, baba

Baba: hala 7beebti shfeek ma nmti

Ghaida: lazem awreekom shay bs.

Baba: aish hoo?

I handed the phone to baba since mama's English wasn't that good baba. Studied in the United States so he's fluent in English. Baba started laughing and I had a smile on my face but I was trying to hide it.

Mama: hww shfee aish egooll

Baba: bntk en8blt b spania Valencia.

Mama: shnoo!?

Mama with the a shocked expression on her face.

Mama: ee K4a zen yalla T9b7een 3la 5er 7beebti.

Ghaida: w enti mn ahla

I left and went to my room. I'm happy I'm soo happy even though I know there isn't going to be much Saudis studying in Valencia it's fine.

I went to bed and woke up the next day for school. I got 16 miss calls from my other close cousin Maryam. So I called her back to see what's up.

Ghaida: alooo

Maryam: haa Wj3 lazem tgwmeeni y3ni

Ghaida: meen galek t9dgeen Alf mra, Shd3wa 16 miss calls.

Maryam is also really close to me. I tell her everything and she's like the opposite of fahdah. She's reckless but she doesn't go out much. She has a beautiful pale body and really curly black hair. Her make up is always on point and she loves astronomy. She can name any planet any time. She is also a junior so she's younger than me by a year. She's from my dad's side but she's still really good friends with Fahdah who is from my moms.

Maryam: eee 9a7777 enti 7mara ma tgooleenli 3n Valencia??

Ghaida: bjeeha kf fahdah wrbi.

Maryam: leh ma tgooleen!!??

Ghaida: bs ahli w 3thoub w fahdah y3rfoon knt abeekom t3rfoon lma enadoon esmi bl t5rj.

Maryam: ooohhhh ajl 5ala9 my lips are sealed. Yalla T9b7een 3la 5er

Ghaida: shfeek goomi wrak dwam

Maryam: mani ry7a ensi El mw'9oo3

Ghaida: kefekkk

The day went on I went to school then went to the mall with fahdah to go shopping for our graduation dresses. We shopped till we found the perfect one. We decided we wanted to get some food so we went to a restaurant and sat down. It was the perfect time to tell her my decision.

Ghaida: fahdah

Fahdah: hala

Ghaida: Tra klmt ahli 3n mw'9oo3 Valencia w hom ra'9yeen..

Fahdah: ensi El mw'9oo3

Ghaida: mo kefek broo7 Y3ni broo7

Fahdah: la mo ry7a

Ghaida: fahdah lehhhh

Fahdah: bs k4a mgdar ma ashoofk kl yom

Ghaida: fahdah 8balooni broo7

Fahdah: ama

Ghaida: eeeee

I showed her the acceptance letter and she was smiling

Fahdah: 3mrii Eli kbrttttt

Ghaida: chub chub bs

As I looked away for a second a really cute guy walked past me.. His face was familiar but I couldn't pin where I've seen him before.
