Fay's pov
"Faaaaayy! Yallah la nitakhar," yelled my brother from downstairs.
"Inzain Khaled in6ir shway, al7een bayi," I replied.
I hurriedly, but carefully applied black eyeliner to my eyes. As I finished I got down as fast as I could. I entered Khaled's car as he started the engine. He sped off to my grandmother's house, in order for us to not miss our flight later. Time flew by fast as we greeted everyone and said our goodbyes.
"Intabhaw 3ala ba3ath oo 6amnoony 3alaikom," my mother told us for the millionth time. Tears appeared at the brim of her eyes. She pulled me into a tight hug, making me burst into tears. She was the person I'd miss most, followed by my friends.
My brother walked over to her, kissing her forehead and embracing her with a hug. My mother started sobbing at this point. After our final goodbyes, we walked away and headed to the car. I could see my mother looking at us with a pained look, but she tried to hide it for our sake. We reached the airport and got done with everything after a while of waiting. The airport was crowded, since it was just the beginning of summer.
I looked around the waiting area, and spotted children happy with huge smiles filling their faces. Lucky them, so young and innocent, not having to deal with the troubles of life. I sighed, but thanked god for the life I had. No matter what, always be thankful, for there are people with much more troubling lives than ours.
"Flight 29 is boarding, please proceed to gate 302."
Khaled and I got up, after hearing the voice mention our flight through the intercom.
I took the window seat, as usual. I loved looking at the atmosphere outside. I got excited for a second, but then remembered the reason we were going there. I felt a pinch of sadness, as I turned my head to look at my brother. He had his eyes closed, and he looked really tired. I thanked god for my brother. He's not like most typical brothers, we were quite close actually. He has a really caring and loving side. He's the best when it comes to cheering me up, always knows what to say.
Khaled's eyes opened and they diverted to me. The corners of his mouth curled, as he half smiled. He lifted his arm and gave me a side hug. At that moment, I prayed that the sickness he had would fade away. Ever since our father has passed away, we got closer. He's my only sibling, and I couldn't wish for a better one. He was around 20, later to be 21.
Finally, after switching flights, we landed in america. I hate transit flights, especially when they take too long. We passed the passport controls and security checks without trouble, and took a cab to our apartment. We had a bad case of jet lag, so we decided to rest for a while before going out. I felt glad that this would be the place we spend the next three months in.
After getting refreshed and rest for a few hours, Khaled knocked on my door. He got in and sat at the edge of my bed, "Yallah, ni6la3?" I nodded my head and we both got up. Just as he was about to reach the door, I pulled him into a hug. "You'll get better," I frowned and slightly teared up. I couldn't imagine my life without him, he's my backbone. He returned the hug, only squeezing me more, and whispering, "Inshallah.."
We walked around, since our apartment was in the center of many places. We headed to a cafe to get a bite, and as we left, someone caught up with us at the last minute.
"Khaloood," said an attractive guy in a surprisingly loud voice. He had a huge smile on his face, and I couldn't help but notice the handsome features he had. Khaled stopped and they greeted each other.
I pretended to be busy with my phone, secretly listening to their conversation. Apparently, this guy is and my brother are childhood friends.
"Yallah inshoofik 3ala khair Zaid," Khaled flashed him a smile and we continued walking.
So it's Zaid, huh?
Not so much action, but it's just the first chapter! There's many more to come! I hope you enjoyed reading this post. Don't forget to tell me what your thoughts are about it. xo -blogger66
