THE THIRTY THIRD STORY
MEMORIES
As he drove down the road to his parent's to pick up some stuff from his
old room, he wasn't aware of what's waiting for him. so when he opened the little box looking for his certificate, his fingers went numb... these little stones he saw caused her name to explode in his head making such a mess.....
((Rana)) . came the name out of his mouth full of sadness, she was the love of his life, her eyes were his world to travel in, her hands were his pillow to sleep on, where is she now? he hasn't thought of her for years.
standing in the middle of the room, unable to move Anas began to pull all the memories he had buried long time ago. that day on the shore walking side to side, her laughter every time she picked a colored stone.
((Why won't you choose shells!! they're much nicer))
((Shells mean nothing to me))
she said handing him the last stone she picked.
How did he miss their presence??? He thought he got rid of everything reminds him of her. ((Why had I ever left her?)) he asked himself bitterly trying his best to remember what led them to fight more than six years ago. But all what came to his mind was the hopeless attempts he made to get her back, till that day when her friend told him about the engagement, Yes his so called soul mate got engaged… and his whole world collapsed, why?? He asked himself over and over again, then all the feelings in his heart turned into unlimited rage, and never stopped looking for a way to get even, not realizing in that restricted mind of his that her act was just a way to get him back without hurting her bride..
So blinded with anger he immediately looked for someone else, not caring weather he'll love her or not. But when his sister introduced him to Leen, there was gone every little bit of his mind, the beauty, the charm, the clever mind and innocent soul, all of this made Anas fall in love with Leen beyond his wildest dreams. Even when he figured Rana's plan and knowing that she had left her fiancé , he found in his heart nothing towards her any more, and moved on with his new love building a life and future with her.
The sound of his telephone ringing awakened him out of his thoughts, a look at the screen showed him Leen's name….. and without any hesitation, he threw the stones in the the trash answering the phone:
(( Hi honey, I missed you))…..
