I had an appointment yesterday, and yes I was waiting as usual. There was an old man who has a look of a mid 60 Bedouin man. I was reading a book while he was gazing me. Then he asked me
Old man: “السلام إختي”
“Hi sister”
Sister???? I look like his granddaughter.
TF: “و عليكم السلام”
“Hi”
OM: “عسى ما شر شتشكين منه؟”
"What is your illness?"
TF: I told him
OM: ”إيييييييييه ... ما تشوفين شر.... أنا شايفج هني قبل شهر”
“May you not be harmed …. I saw you here a month ago”
TF: “آخر زياره لي هني كانت قبل ثلاث سنين”
“My last visit was three years ago”
OM: “إمبلا آنا شايفج هني قبل شهر”
“I am sure I saw you here a month ago”
TF: “OK”
I wasn’t in Kuwait a month ago ?!?!
Then I continued reading my book again.
(Two minutes later)
OM: “يا إختي إنتي طويله حيل”
“Sister … You are very tall”
He said it in away as if it was a disease I had or something bad !!!
I paused a little after that
TF: “إيه ... الله لا يبلاك”
“May you not be cursed like that”
OM: “إي و الله”
“I hope not”
I am not very tall I am just taller than him.
We both paused for a while.
OM: “ألحين الحضر قامو يتزوجون بدو و البدو قامو يتزوجون حضر”
“Now urban are marrying Bedouins and Bedouins are marrying urban “
I can see what question is this leading to :P
OM: “إنتي بدويه و إلا حضريه؟”
“Are you an Urban or a Bedouin?”
I know that my accent was a bit weird to him.
TF: “إنت شرايك؟”
“Guess?”
I like this question :P
OM: “و الله يا إختي , لهجتج ما دري شلون صايره. مو بدويه و لا حضريه و بعض كلامج سعودي و تقرين كتاب إنجليزي”
“Your accent is strange; It’s not Bedouin and not Urban and also you have some Saudi words; and you are reading an English book”
At that moment I couldn’t hold my self from laughing.
TF: Was trying to explain to him my accent.
And then came this lady wearing a Burka (Face cover where only the eyes are shown) and she was looking at me in away as if she wants to kill me; and when looking at the husband again his face was giving all kinds of colours; I guess he wasn’t allowed to talk to a strange lady.
P.S. What is written in green is a translation specially done for Wass and Sarpanch. And what is written in blue are my thoughts.
