Beyond the black lights

Chapter 29

After a year,

(My cousin is calling me)

Good Morning our future bride she said.

Good morning to the next bride I said

She said: bride? Ayla!!! I'm still single

I laughed then said: when will we say to the –Single- word enough? Tell me how's your boyfriend?

She said: I am thinking about breaking this relationship. You know it has been 2 months and he never told me when will he come to take me forever?

I laughed: Forever is soon but wait -she told me that she will pass to take me in order to get prepared for the wedding which will be in two weeks-

Time passed so quickly and now I can't believe that I will go shopping but this time not for a bag I want to buy or a shoe that I'm dying for but for a future lady! Days passed, I've made calls to my closest friends in order to inform them about my wedding day. I called one by one!

-Lina and Youssef got married one month ago. Lina is pregnant she said if it is a boy she will name him Ali and if it's a girl she will name her as mine (Ayla). That was the sweetest thing I've heard in a while-

- Ali traveled away at the day when the truth was revealed, when he got assured that everything was okay. I didn't know that except after a year. I tried to call him several times before in order to meet up with him but I failed to catch up on him. By calling Lina she gave me the letters that he has written to her that says:

Dear you idiot

How are you? And how's your relationship with the other idiot? I miss you guys a lot. I got your messages that night but sorry I couldn't send back. I traveled to Canada because I got a job there. I'm working on myself to be a pilot. I know you are insulting me right now but the decision had been taken that way without even thinking. Everything happened quickly believe me. Job here is quite well. I'm kinda happy but days without you guys are boring! Tell me how's Ayla? I wish she always feel happy and good. Did she ask after me? If she did again try to change the topic. Don't ask me why ... I will tell you later

Yours

Ali

The second letter

Dear Idiots

Congratulations. I'm really sorry that I couldn't come. Forgive me my childhood friends but I'm passing in hard times those days. I know you both have big hearts and will forgive me. I saw all your pictures on Facebook. You looked gorgeous and that man -your husband- finally made it. I will only know that you forgave me when I see your baby is growing up to be called Ali. Junior Ali! I Miss you!

Apology from

Ali

The third and the last one that says a lot

Dear Lina

I read your last letter. I couldn't keep that anymore. I traveled because I thought I would be better which turned out to be a good decision. At first, in every day and in every time I sat alone I remembered her. She was always on my mind. I traveled far away in order not to destroy her life again and her lover who really loves her, may God protects them. Lina, I lied on you when I told you about my job at first but now I'm an official pilot no more lies. Actually I'm now a successful man. Not bragging but you must read the newspaper. Job turned out to be the only thing that changed me to the best, not because I'm smart enough you know but because it was the only thing that succeeded in making me busy all the time. Sometimes I prefer working than taking vacations, that's the reason the boss likes me *don't tell anyone* I wish you the best of your life! Is junior Ali okay? I'm just kidding but I want you next time to send me that you are pregnant.

Yours

Ali

By reading the last one, I cried. As I knew why Ali has been hiding all that time. Ali travelled away to forget about me. He didn't show anything on the other hand he stopped Lina and Youssef from telling me any news in order not to destroy my life again. Ali was the best person ever. A person who I really depended on, many times ago. He proved me how strong he was! Ali wasn't lucky in love yet he was lucky in building his career. I wish I could call him but I won't as I don't want things to change again. Stability is now good for me and him!

-Ididn't see or meet Dana  from the last time. I forgave her (between Godand I) yet I didn't try calling her, I couldn't. I heard that she traveled toBerlin to finish her courses in addition that she has totally changed frombeing the party girl who was partying every night to the girl who cares aboutfinishing her study-
