Destiny: Chapter 1

Let's rock, everybody, let's rock.
Everybody in the whole cell block,
was dancin' to the Jailhouse Rock.


Incoming call: Dalal.

"Alo?" 
Dalal: Goodmorning sunshine!
Nouf: Hey baby!
Dalal: Ana ba6la3..
Nouf: Wana agoul laish daga mn il 9b7
Dalal: Ay 9b7 intay b3ad? It's 2pm.
Nouf: Oh. Inzain, wain?
Dalal: 360? 
Nouf: 5la9, ana as2al umy wagoulch. 

Saturday afternoon. Saturday is supposed to be my lazy day in. 
I got out of bed. Went downstairs, and saw my family having lunch. 

Mama: Nouf yuma, 7awalt aga3dch bs ma gmtay
Nouf: mai5alf mama

I went over and kissed the top of her forehead. 

Nour, my 6 year old sister. Fahad, my 10 year old brother. And Faisal, my 25 year old brother were all gathered around the table.

Nouf: 3yal wain uboy?
Faisal: Ya3ni wain bkoun? Bl sharika ili man5l9 mnha..
Mama: 3aib, hatha ubok. 
Faisal: Wallah 5ush ubo.

He let out a fake laugh.

Yup, we didn't have the best relationship with our father. He was hardly ever home, and when he is he'll be too busy with work.

Nouf: Mama, 3adi a6la3 wya Dalal? Btmourny b3ad shway. 
Mama: Wain? 
Nouf: 360
Mama: Ok 7abebti, bs mo 6awleen. 
Nouf: Inshallah.
Faisal: Salmay 3la Dalal
Nouf: Okaay..?

Whatsapp.

Noufii: Mama said ok, yalla waiting for you:*
Dalalalal: Sa3a wakoun 3ndch.

I took a quick hot shower. Don't you just love morning showers?
Got dressed in a simple light pink dress. Put on a little make up. Left my hair in its natural curls.
And I was ready to go.

Just then, i got a message from Dalal saying she's outside. 
I grabbed my bag and headed downstairs.

Nouf: Uma-aa.. Halla baba
Baba: Halla nour-fais-nouf.
Nouf: Shda3wa? Nasy ismy?
Baba: Ha? La shloun ansa ism bnty? Bs shway lahy wya ilsh'3l
Nouf: Inzain ana 6al3a
Baba: Deeray balch

And with that i left. 

Dalal: Halla bl zaain- Nouf? Shfeech?
Nouf: Uboy, ynsa ismy? T5ailay, samany nour o faisal. Ana faisal? 

She let out a laugh.

Nouf: It's not funny.
Dalal: 3baly 3nch salfa. Ymkn bala ma kan wya? Ka ana uboy samany Marry mara.

This girl knows how to make me laugh. 

Dalal: Ee ee laugh!
Nouf: Yalla drive, tara 7ail you3ana.
Dalal: Ana b3aad!

We arrived at 360 and decided to have lunch at b+f. There was a 40 minute wait so we walked around for a while until our table was ready. 
We ordered our usual. O g3dna nsoulf.

Dalal let out a gasp. 

Nouf: Shfeech?
Dalal: Hatha mo Abdulaziz ilflany?
