Mama: t3ali eg3di, Wela lesh ma tro7en tfken 3baytk w t'3yren b3den tjen?
Me:mama la 5ala9 al7en, Esh fe 5wfteni?
Mama: lw gltlk ena by9er 3ndk e5t wela a5o esh btsween?
That smile she had on her face showed me how happy she was, and she obviously thought I would be thrilled and excited, just like her. But I wasn't, because having another sibling could change everything for me. I'm used everything that I do everyday and I'm not ready for that to change.
Me: mama, bro7 ll '3rfa, marra feni el noom.
I lied.
Mama: okay, goodnight.
I went back to my room and immediately called 3alia, but the annoying voice kept popping up telling me her phone was busy, so I called Nouf. Nouf wouldn't answer her phone, so after a few failed calls, I gave up.
I came to the conclusion that the only thing that'll cheer me up is an old, classic movie.
After watching a couple of my favorite movies, it was already midnight. So I decided to sleep, and that wasn't hard because I was extremly tired.
As I was trying to sleep, the idea of changing who I am kept running through my mind, and it was a pleasing thing. Maybe changing my personality and trying new thing could be good for me.
You know what also kept running through my mind? The guy from the car accident.
-11:30am-
I woke up to the sound of my phone ringing, it was Nouf.
Me:Alo?
Nouf: Leena, klmteni ams?
Me: Ee, t5yle Esh 9aar
Nouf: Esh?
Me: I'm gonna have a sibling, yay.
I say it in a sarcastic way.
Nouf: n9aabbaa, ma at5yl! Mabrook.
Me: Allah ybark feek, bs mabi.
Nouf: lesh?
I explained everything to her, and after half an hour of talking, she invited me over for breakfast, and told 3alia to come as well.
I already had a "bed head" hair style going and I didn't really feel like taking a shower, so I decided to just leave it as it is, that's one of the best benefits of having short hair. After a few minutes of staring at the closet, I put this on:
After I was done getting dressed, I put on my abaya then stumble down to the kitchen and make myself a cup of coffee then head to the car.
"ana barra" I texted Nouf then she opened the door a minute later.
Nouf: Ahlan bl e5t el kbeera
Me: Nouf, 5ala9 la t4kreni.
Alia: look at the bright side Leena, the house won't be quiet anymore!
Me: I want it to be quiet, but can we just not talk about that, please?
Nouf: okay
Nouf and 3alia did a pretty good job in making me forget about it, but then 3alia suggested we do something that'll make me forget about it in a fun way. Nouf and I didn't know what to expect, but somehow, 3alia brainwashed us into agreeing on whatever she planned on doing.
While we were sitting in Nouf's room, each one of us was minding her own business, and no one even bothering to put their phones down, 3alia interrupted the peacefulness.

Alia's point of view:
Yesterday was terrifying, not only did I get into an accident with my high dealer, but also, my friends almost found out about it.
When I went back home yesterday, I called Nawaf, but he was too high to actually realize what I was saying. I just wanted to know why he would drive while he is high, or even go in public while he is like that. But I came to the conclusion that no matter how long I talk on the phone with him, he'll not realize what I'm saying.
I slept with the thought of telling Nouf and Leena about him, and also maybe allowing them to be a part of it. To be honest, I liked the idea of that, and when the next day I saw what Leena was going through with her family, I knew it was the perfect timing.
I went outside the room as if I was calling my mom, but instead, I called Nawaf.
Nawaf: Alo?
Me: Nawaf, 9797t?
Nawaf: Ee ee, Esh fe?
Me: esm3, a7taj mnk shwy, tgdr bokra Wela b3d bokra?
Nawaf: La Ana ray7 Elyoum, basfr.
Me: okay, Mta raj3?
Nawaf: sh,hren, thlath sh,hor.
Me: La Nawaf, I need it!
Nawaf: how about now?
Me: Ana f bet 9degti, I can't
Nawaf: well, it's either now or wait a few months.
Me: ugh, fine, brslk elw9f
Nawaf: okay, bs yawelk lw fe a7d bl bet, ahlha wla shy.
Me: la la mafe, klhom 6al3een.
Nawaf: okay, bye
Me: bye.
Adrenaline rush. I was really worried about telling them, but I was also excited to make them a part of this.
After debating with my self on whether I should tell them or not, I decided to tell them when it's actually here, that way, they are already a part of it, whether they want to or not. I know it wasn't my business to make that choice for them, but I just felt like they needed to loosen up a bit and just do something different for a change.

Leena's point of view.
Alia: jaa!
Me: men ja?
Alia: umm, my cousin, jay yjeb ashya2
Nouf: lesh ma glteli?
Alia: 3shan bs yjeb ashya2 gbl ma ysafr, bala eflam. Leena t3ali eft7i el baab m3ai.
Me: okay
We went downstairs and 3alia opened the door.
Oh my god. I seriously didn't realize what was going on. He was here. Why is he here?.
