Seven Years.....

It was 4:10
The train stopped
The doors opened
Like any other day for the past seven years
She waited
She waited for him to come
He told her it was only a four day trip
He told her he would find the best doctor and bring him back to her
She waited seven years
She regretted the day she opened the subject to him
She hated her honesty
Emotions
It felt like it was the reason that drove him away

That’s new she thought
What a new way to drive away your heart

Every day she would come
She never lost hope
And today her wishes came true
Her life was back
He was back

It took him seven years
She didn’t believe it at first

She thought she would go back home all alone
To enter her huge mansion that he left for her
The empty mansion

But there he was
Heading towards her

She couldn’t believe her eyes
Of course something is wrong
This isn’t real

Why is he heading towards me?
Where's wahabi
Wahabi I need you
WAHABI its been seven years

Him "hi" *tears filled his eyes*

Her "excuse me sir, please step away"

Him "baby, its me"

Her "excuse me! Move away from me"

Him "D ana wahab"

Her "wa5ir 3aneee!!! Inta mo wahab!! Wahab mo inta! Latchathib!! Wahab mayhidni seven years"

Him "Dina"

Her "inta mo wahab"

Him "ana wahab"

She took in his features
He had the same eyes
Green eyes with big eye lashes
His crooked nose
The nose that got broken because of her
His hands
She saw his hands and remembered his warm hugs

Her "wahab"

Him "2amray"

Her "wain your scar?"

There was something missing
He forgot to show her something
The scar
It was what made him unique


He pulled down his collar and showed

There it was in the middle of his neck

Him "ti6amanty"

She looked at him one more time and walked away
It was him
And she left
She was walking at first but then ran

Him "DINA!"

Before he could catch up

She drove away

She sped through
The silent streets
Driving the car he bought her
Her tears fell down silently
She was numb
She was angry

She drove off to her usual place for the last seven years

To see the sun rise up
No one knew about this place
It was her safe place


He went home
Expecting her to be there
He wanted to explain
He had a valid reason he thought
A very good one

But would she except it
Knowing her
He didn’t think she would

He arrived
It was all the same
Not a tiny difference

He smiled at the thought

She is one loyal wife

She even kept the keys in the fountain on the left corner under the rock

He took them
And opened the door
It was dark
He looked in the rooms
There was no sign of her

He made his phone calls
She was no where to be found

It drove him crazy


She stayed a bit longer than she used

She stayed seven hours

Then she went home
Expected him to be waiting on the steps
Cupping his face
With his red eyes
And his sad lips

She wanted him to be that way

She hoped he was in that state

And as anticipated he was there
As she wished



She parked her car in front of him

He raised his head

She didn’t look at him
Opened her bag took out the house keys

Walked up the few steps and opened the wooden door
It was unlocked

She didn’t consider his existence

He didn’t say a word
He got up to follow her

And as he turned around and took the few steps

She closed the door

In front of him
She was cold
But behind that door she broke down
She fell to the ground crying

Seven minutes passed and she stopped
She took a piece of tissue and wiped her tears

Her "I'm old enough to handle this!"

He walked in from the balcony
With a red face
He was mad
Furious
How could she do this!
Those were the thoughts that ran through his mind

Him "ako wa7da it9ik ib bab ib wayh rayilha!"
It took her seven seconds to answer him
As she took in his voice

Her "Seven years"
she said
as she looked deep in his hurt eyes blankly
no emotion no nothing
seven years she thought again to herself
