Saif's p.o.v ;

It's been a week since jawahir has being released from the hospital , and our first date after her recovery , almost like a recovery diner.
I took her to one of the fancies eatery in town , we talked and talked about a lot of things, till we could talk no more.
It was simply and lovely.
All the issue about bukar , has died off , everything was just amazing.
A year later.....

Jawahir's p.o.v ;

"Oum please pass me your phone.
I do not have enough airtime on mine" I explain.
"Are you missing saif , already ?", teased Oum.
"Of course I am " I winked.
You and your madness.
When Oum toss over her phone, I realized she has a new message in her inbox.
I thought of checking it but then realized it would be wrong of me.
Who cares , I thought to myself as I opened it.
It was a text from ameer ,
I giggled mischievously.
"Give it back ", demanded Oum.
"No" I replied, trying to hide my amusement.
"I knew your up to no good" , said Oum.
"I love you my habeebti , with out you this world is colorless , everything fades away , always smile to Spread your kindness around" ...reads the message.
Oum suddenly became shy after hearing the text message, and she buried her face behind her little hands.
"And you my love, rock my world ..." I typed.
"Should I hit the reply botton , Oum" I teased.
"Don't , give it back ... "Yelled Oum.
I kept enjoying her condition that I have forgot , why I got the phone from her in the first place.
I erased the text and told her I have sent it .
"Young love " I murmured.
"Sometimes when you talk, one will
Think your an old lady " said Oum snatching her phone way.
"You and saif , that's young love ..." Blurted Oum.

Ameer is one of saif's friend that we had hook Oum with , a year back when he met saif in camp.
Their relationship is really at it peak.
I was deep in my thought when saif called.
Thank god, I muttered once i pressed in the answer botton on my phone.
"I have been trying to call you" , I explain.
"I know , I could feel it".
"Lier .." I said profusely.
"You know I miss you" ,
"And I miss you , even much" I replied.
"How much " asked saif ,
"If rain drops could be counted, even that won't be able to match how much I miss you..." I used the rain card on him.
We both chuckled .
"So how's preparations for grad." I asked
Saif missed an exam, so his doing it before graduation but he went for his NYNC, I guess nothing money can't make possible.
"Alhamdullah " replied saif.
"Are we still on my offer" I asked
"Of course we are, we would celebrate my grad at your house like you requested".
"Jawahir " yelled dad.
"Am sorry , I have to go."
"Will talk later" I said
"Ok, bye for now sweetheart" Replied saif as I ended the call.
"I can't wait to meet this boy that has turned my daughter's life upside down "teased dad.
I blushed shyly.
"You will if, you stayed a little longer.
He will be coming for diner here, after his grad" I explained.
"I need to be some where, but I will wait a while" says dad.
And I squirm.
"Dad, you called me., "I said reminding him .
"Yes, I wanted to ask if you have gotten a suitable project topics, because I have some, if you are interested".
"Yes dad, I have found one " I said honestly.
"And you Oum?" , he asked.
"No " she nods.
"Ok, come with me".
Saif has finally graduated from collage with an upper credit and both I and Oum had started our final year already. Things have just being great.

The week rolled like what ,
Before I knew it, it was Saturday meaning my boyfriends grad.
I was all tensed and over worked up.
I kept going up and down , till the house was perfect.
Everything was in check , even the house was fully decorated.
I can't wait for mine next year.,
Even better for our marriage this fall,
Me and saif.
Oum and ameer .
Everything will be just perfect , I can't just wait.
"Jawahir why are you standing by the door looking up" asked mum,
Knocking me out of my thought.
"I am...m...just checking if any thing is wrong with the decorations" I stutter out.
"Ok dear , just sure to be ready in half an hour or you will miss the grad you have looked up to " said mum disappearing inside.
⚫️⚫️⚫️
We went to the grad, every thing was beautifully arranged.
High Guest honored the event.
The grad student all dressed in their gowns ,
We were stood for the national Anthem shortly after opening prayers.
Saif gave a speech , which I made sure I captured on camera,
Everything was perfect, even his father graced the event but left before saif could introduce us,
Too bad he missed the family pictures.
My father in law has alot in common with my dad , I thougt.
The grad ceremony was short but remarkable.
In no time we returned home.
