A Heart of Ice-- My first written story

Chapter Ten

After one week, Reem got out from the hospital and started preparing her bags to travel with her father in a long trip. She was very happy to travel with her own father alone and they decided to have a lot of fun during their trip and do many things together.

Next day, Sarah phoned her and asked her if she could go out with her to their old place where they used to go.
"I will meet you in the same area we used to meet on".
"But Sarah why don't you come to my house then we can go there together"
"Grow up little child. I think you are still that little girl that I used to come and take her with me"
"Sarah, don't make fun of me but you know me,,,"
"Yes I know that you are a little crying girl"
"Ok, I will meet you there at 5 pm, are you satisfied now?" Reem shouted angrily.
"Finally I raised you temper. Yohooooo, I catch you" Sarah laughed loudly.
"Silly girl, you didn't"
"Yes I did"
"Ok, I have to end up this call with you, so don't cry because I know that you will miss me"
"Ok, see you tomorrow on time and don't you ever be late"
"Ok bye".

When she arrived, she felt that she didn't come to that place since long time. She was enjoying recalling all the beautiful moments when she and Sarah used to come to this park since their childhood. She smiled while she was remembering the foolishness of Sarah that caused for them many troubles with old people and boys. She missed the past days and she realized that they are now adults and mature and their lives and feelings changed from their innocent dreams when they were very young and thought the life is just full of happiness and sweets.

She tried to look after Sarah but she couldn't see her, so she decided to go and sit in the same chair they used to sit on it. She was watching little boys playing football and screaming enthusiastically to get the ball. Each one of the boys was trying to get the ball and score his winning goal. She envied them because they were just playing and happy and they don't carry with them pain or bitter memories. Suddenly, a long shadow came from behind and she knew that Sarah finally came and she wanted to surprise her from behind. She turned back quickly holding up her hands like a ghost and screamed to frighten Sarah but her scream was frozen to know that the long shadow wasn't Sarah's. Her face became pale as if she saw a ghost and she was frozen for a moment. She couldn't move or talk and the long shadow said: "I am sorry that I frightened you. I didn't mean at all to come from behind to frighten you. I was looking for you and when I saw you here sitting I went directly to you with a new hope to see you again full of life"
The blood returned again to her body and she was blushed from her childish movement. Her cheeks became red like a pretty rose bloomed in the early morning. She wanted to stand up and leave soon but she felt her legs very heavy and trembling. She wanted to shout at him but she didn't know what to say.
"I was really glad when I knew from Sarah that you were getting better and you get out from the hospital. Don't blame Sarah for telling me about you, I am the one who insisted to know about you and have a chance to talk with you today. To meet you here as I am Sarah was the only method to let you agree to see me and talk to me."

He was looking towards her and wished if he could take her in his arms and he hugged her tightly and never leave her. There was a strong desire and affection inside him towards her but he was afraid from her sudden rejection. He was longing to hear her voice but she was silent and she was holding her hands tightly in her lap nervously.

He decided to risk and site close from her. He kept silent and she was also silent and she finally felt that she is able now to move her legs. She stood up and was intending to leave when his hand catch her soft hand quickly. "Please, don't leave me, give me a chance to talk with you"
" Leave my hand" She said firmly.
He knelt in front of her and begged her affectingly, "I will leave it in case you promised to sit down and talk to me"
"Are you crazy, get up, everyone is looking towards us"
"Yes, I am crazy by your love and I don't care if people called me crazy but you have to talk to me"
"You are out of your mind, leave my hand, damn you, I don't have anything to say it for you"
"Yes, you are right, you don't have anything to say, but I have a lot to say and I am appealing your forgiveness. Please sit down and let us talk and I promise you to leave your hand".
She was hesitated what to do but she thought it was the best solution to succumb his crazy request.
"Ok, I will talk to you but let us walk away from here because I don't want people to stare at us"
"Why, don't you want them to say: 'Look to that two amazing lovers'?"
"You are so silly" she blushed.
They walked away from the starring eyes of the boys that were following them. Jamal was talking eagerly and she was listening to him. They walked together just like the old days. Then they decided to sit in a chair which was close from group of tress and the sun was sinking down in front of them.
"I know that you are still mad about me but I am sure that your heart is full of passion. No matter what we carry inside our hearts, the strength of love will let us forgive and love again"
"Do you think it is easy for me to love again after all what I pass over?" Reem asked angrily.
"Yes, you will be able as I myself realized that I can not live without you. I couldn't live in a foreigner country and your memory was haunting me. I felt that I was too weak without you and now I don't want to lose you again"
She was silent for a moment and she was watching and contemplating in the beautiful scene of the orange sun going down.
"See, even the sun is going down but will return again for a new day and we should also start our days with new hope" Jamal said eagerly.
"I don't think that I am able now to take any decision right now. I just want to take a long period to think about it. I am just now thinking about the lovely holiday that I am going to spend with my father. To tell you the truth, I am not sure about my feelings towards you. I have to spend a lot of time with myself and rearrange my life."
Jamal didn't know what to say or reply then he said: "I am ready to wait you but you have to promise me that you should think about us"
She smiled at him and stood up: "Time will decide what will happen". She stood directly and went away from him. He stayed in the same place and glared at her walking away like the sun that was going down.
