Pregnant !

I was really busy yesterday morning when I received a phone call from Nana, a very close friend of mine. an hour later, I called her back and we had the following conversation:

Nana: Hi lolo, you seem busy. mmm, I was wondering if you can stop by today after work. I am alone, my husband is going to Riyadh and he won't be back before midnight.

Me: mmm, OK sure. We will have lunch together.

Nana: Would you please get me a pregnancy test !

Me: What ! me ! Huh !. I shrugged, "mmmm, OK".

I hanged up the phone and kept laughing. Soon after, I left the office and headed to the dispensary, the only thought that went through my mind was, How Am I supposed to ask for that ? shall I say it in Arabic ? will they think that it for me !. I stepped out of the car, got inside and I went like: " pregnancy test, please !".
"you don't think it is for me, do you?" I thought.

As soon as I arrived to her place, i handed it over to her. she wanted to surprise him, that is why she asked me to get it. we read the instructions over and over to make sure we got them right, for me the minute passed like a minute, but I bet that it was the longest minute in her life.

" two red lines lolo !" she stunned.

" that means you are pregnant right ! I mean you are pregnant ! OH MY GOD" I Hugged her tight and a tear came to my eye.

She called him right away and she spoke in a calm tone.

" hi babe, I think I am pregnant ! " she whispered.

he didn't believe her so she handed me the phone and i was screaming: " Mabrooooook dad"

I swear I could hear him screaming, laughing and tearing.

" this is not a joke, is it ?" he asked.

" It is not something to joke about" I assured him.

he didn't want to hang up and I know, telling him while he was 400 KM away was mean but we couldn't wait.

A memory flashed in my mind. Eight years ago, Me walking alone on my very first day at Jordan Univeristy, I was a wide-eyed freshman student , coming to a country where i know no one. She was standing there, innocent and lovely as she has always been.

" is this the Computer 101 class ?" I wondered.

she laughed loudly, " yes , but you are late, the Instructor has just left. there will be no lecture for today". We checked our schedules and realized that we have the same classes for the entire semester.

" Lolo, are you listening to a word I am saying ?" she said.

" You are becoming a Mom, I am happy" I smiled.
