Hind could feel her hands shaking as she shut down her computer, she picked up her car keys and her phone and dialled her friend's number,
"Aloo.."
"Ha yallah ako I'm leaving work babadel o bayeekum Sharg.."
"Umm.. la Saro ta3aleely ilbait.."
"Laish shfeech?"
"La wala shay just please come.."
"Hind... what's wrong?"
"Saro bs please ta3aly yallah"
"Yallah I'm coming.."
She hung up the phone and started her car's engine, she was just about to reverse out of the parking when her phone vibrated:
1 new message

She picked up the phone and checked the message,
"I'm waiting ya galby, hurry up"
She put the phone down sighing and reversed out, heading home.

Sara entered her friend's room to find her pacing the room, her laptop on the floor along with a few outfits..
"Hanood..? shfeech sh9ayer?"
"Choofy.." she said weakly, handing her the laptop,
Sara started at the screen her eyes getting wider with every word she read,
"Shit.."
"ee ee shit Saro shasawy" Hind was holding her tears in but when she saw her friend's expression she couldn't stop herself from crying.. "tell me shasawy?

Hind sat in her friend's car her mind going back in time..
5 years ago.. London
Hind sat in Harvey Nichols' Fifth floor waiting for her friend to come, she was happy to see her friend since she hasn't seen her for a whole year, Maitha was her friend from UAE who'd graduated a year before and moved back to Dubai,
"Hiiiiii I missed you!!!" said Hind hugging her friend who'd just walked in carrying 4 big please mum bags.
"I missed you too ya 7mara! ma tzooreena fe Dubai!"
"You know how it is, you go back for a few weeks and have to catch up with the family.. 9a3eb I go to Dubai.."
"Ee ee adry.. sha5barech? O shlon London bedoony?"

"ba3ad'ha 3ala 6ool in5a6bat.. you remember that guy ily kan sometimes ma3akum? Sultan Al - .........? Apparently chafha fe London o 3ala 6ool 5e6abha."
"Ha?" Hind felt the blood draining from her face, she felt the place getting more noisy, the waiters yelling, the sound of the forks and knives getting louder..
"Hind.. Hind.." Sara shook her friend to get her attention,
"Ha?"
"Shfeech?"
"Wala shay bas sera7t shwaya"
"Inzain yallah call Maha tell her.."
"Ok.."
Hind held her phone, pressed 3 and waited for her friend's voice to come out and help her with her dilemma.
