One of my old friends called me
To give me the news of her
giving birth to a beautiful angel that we have been waiting for so long...
Also, to confirm the exact date of my return to Cairo,
Let us all celebrate this good gift...
Then she told me about an unexpected surprise!!!
I met in the hospital with a friend of mine
I had lost all contact with her several years ago...
She told me that she too had given birth to a boy...
To add to the mystery, she told me:
Do you know what you called the boy?
I asked: What?
She replied: The name you dreamed of choosing for your daughter...!!!
After this phrase I could not hear another word...
Just a phrase at the end of her speech...
In it she said:
Isn't that friend one of your favorites over all of us?
And she was the only one who did not reserve affection for you...!!!
Her words brought back my hidden memories
To get lost in his basements...
I remembered my secret that is not hidden from everyone
This is how much I have loved fine clothing since my early childhood.
So I got used to dealing with specific names and brands...
And when it was Christmas time
I went to the places where I used to shop with my mother.
At that time, I was just over ten years old...
I had a strong feeling that I had become
Mademoiselle has an overwhelming feminine presence...
So all the shopping places I used to no longer satisfy me
I went to a new place that displays my favorite brands
It has more brands that I have not tried before...
Despite the diversity of the exhibits
But my eyes caught an English model dress made of two attached pieces...
The inner piece is a high-cool wool blouse
The outer piece is a Japonian velvet dress with delicate designs...
I asked the saleswoman about the color red and she told me that there were only two pieces left...
Dark orange and yellow!!! Surprisingly, they are your size.
Of course, I did not take the risk and buy yellow
My hair at that time had blonde strands...
So I took the dark orange
I left the place feeling like a Christmas princess.
The day of Eid came and I went with my friends to celebrate
So I met the girl in the yellow dress in the ballroom!!!
And in a moment I left my friends
The girl in the yellow dress left her friends
We sat together to get to know each other...
I found a girl a year older than me...
She is thinner than me, but she wears my size because of her passion for the dress...
Brunette with black hair
And teeth fighting with each other inside her mouth!!!
But she has a charming smile...
And a very pure heart...
And his eyes sparkled with astonishment and astonishment overpowering them...
Which made me willingly surrender to her tenderness and passion
Since that Christmas, we have been inseparable.
We would go and buy two colors of everything we could find
She loved my gifts on her birthday...
I was thinking carefully about choosing her gift
To see the joy of surprise in her eyes...
Even though she was a year older than me
Fourteen days, but our birthday fell on the same day.
And I was, despite my many preoccupations and travels
And the professionalism of journalistic work
- And I'm still in high school -
But I always irrigated the seed of love and friendship between us...
Until it was the year she joined university, so she went to university
And I got to know a different world
She made new friends and girlfriends
And she gradually started to break up with me...!!!
Then it was time for her birthday and we had to meet according to our rituals...
For several days I was thinking of a wonderful gift for her
Until I saw her on one of my tours, a wonderful doll with blonde hair, blue eyes, and alabaster skin...
Haifa, tall, sweet voice and features... Wow
I fell in love with the doll from the first moment
I decided that the doll would be my gift to her
My gift to myself is a reward for making a good choice.
I actually bought two sister dolls...
I waited for her at our favorite place according to our appointment...
The moments and minutes dragged on and lasted for two hours
And I wait with all love just to enjoy my eyes with the look of amazement and passion in her eyes...!!!
But I waited a long time to no avail
And when I was about to leave
Her sister entered the place by chance...
So I gave her the doll and asked her to pass it on to her sister...
My best wishes to her for years filled with happiness, goodness and love, and she left.
From that moment until my birthday, I did not hear any news from my friend!!!
Fourteen whole days were colored with the dark colors of sadness, and she did not know it!!!
On my birthday, I expected you to come to my party...
But the near and far, the friend and the stranger or her came, but no trace of her appeared!!!
At Christmas, I ran into her in the ballroom
In the middle of a crowd I had never seen before
Her features seemed strange, as her quarreling teeth had reconciled...
But something about her had changed
Not only in features, but in qualities...
But I offered her my greetings, but she responded coldly!!!
So I moved away from her to go back to my friends, and I found her coming behind me to scold me...!!!
Scolding me for what???
On my doll and she said many things at that time, many of which I could not hear...
To the sound of a loud party
But I became sad and confused
I searched for the thin body screaming in front of me for my friend...
I couldn't find her,
and I no longer saw the sparkle in her eyes and the warmth of her smile...!!!
The strange thing is that I could not respond to a single word she said
I was astonished
And all the feelings froze inside me!!!
But all I could do was give her my back...
I left the room very thankful...
For the beloved doll who taught me new etiquette in life
IT revealed to me..
a face that I had been deceived during the most wonderful chapters of my life!!!
