Hello

( i know i promised an epilogue but i have no ideas for it )

Here is my new story and it is WAY DIFFERENT then the previous one.

The story is based on real life matters that joins too people who were raised in different societies.

Its fate that got us here - Part 1

*********


I woke up remembering what has happened this month. The worst month. Dad had transferred all his work back in the UAE so yes we are going back. Living 16 years in Whales and now having to head back to my "country" is too much. How am i supposed to leave those amazing friends which happen to be my family the ones that I've been raised with. How is it back there? I heard the schools are very strict and life is boring there.


I was born in Dubai but at that time my family were there for only a vacation. 4 years later we spent another vacation there one that i dont remember a thing from. then when i was 11 I went there again. I remember that I have a lot of cousins but I can only remember Maitha basically cause she was my age and we used to play together.

The door swung open and the doctor came.
Dr.Nicholas: Good morning Mona .. How are you today?
Mona: Im fine.
Dr. Nicholas: I just saw your mom and she kept asking me about you she loves you so much.
Mona with a smile : I know.
Dr. Nicholas : Well it seems that you can leave tonight but take care of your self and make some regular check ups even when your back to your home country
Mona: I will

In came dad with mom who looked tired (as she hasnt slept and she had transferred some blood to me) and Omar ( my little brother ).
Dad : Doctor can she leave now?
Dr. Nicholas : Yes but please come with me I need to assign some medicine for her.

Omar: Mona I have good news!
Mona : what?
Omar: Dad registered us in a mix school so we wont be apart and i dont have to be stuck with boys only.
Mona : There are mix schools there?
Mom : Yes. But only a few and mainly the students in them are from all over the world so dont worry you will be able to cope with them.
Mona : Thats not it mom. How can I leave my friends our neighbours our family here our home our school our everything.!?
Mom : what can we do darling its the only choice and we will be coming here frequently.
Mona : Ahh!

I started thinking about wednesdays accident. Who was the person that saved my life. I was about to die. I was riding my bicycle heading to the public library when I fell of somehow in the construction area ( there was a new building under construction and I was right next to it) I fell on the tools and I fainted. My dad said that when I was brought to the hospital I was bleeding way too much and the doctor said that if that person got me in a few minutes later I may have been under a serious situation. All thanks to god ofcourse that I managed to survive but with a lot of injuries and after having an operation for one side of my cheeks that was damaged.

One of the nurses said that that a man brought me in and left running. She said he seemed in a rush.

What sadens me the most is that I cant even thank him especially that im leaving in a week so there is no chance of me seeing him.

I left my bed and headed to the mirror. One side of we was normal and the other was covered with thick white plasters. I wonder how it will look after I remove the cover. The rest of my body was filled with scars and bruises that the doctor said should disappear in a week or two.

Im an average girl not too pretty and not ugly. 161 cm and 50 is my weight. Not so white and not so tanned. My nose is short but pointy, my eyes are big with thick eyelashes. They are hazel colored with a little twinkle that would show everytime I was sad. My lips are not so big and not so small but round. I would get fully red if someone flattered me. My hair is dark brown that reached a little above half my back and my eyebrows were thick but perfectly shaped.

Now all you would see was a hopeless looking girl that had half her face covered and with more than a twinkle in her eyes. Thinking again about the UAE and seeing my hair I wondered how people would react back there seeing that I dont cover my hair. They seem really religious. Although all my friends have got boyfriends or girlfriends I dont simply because I know that muslims shouldnt have or atleast thats what I thought. I am very innocent but thats how life is down here. No worries, cheerfull , down to earth people.

Mom : Yalla 7abebti .. We are leaving.

Khalid : Mashay.
Youssef: are you thinking about what happened?
Khalid : Yeah
Youssef : 5la9 ya wild elnas entaha elmaw'9oo3 w e7na sawaina elly 3laina w el7mdela.

Picking our luggage we left the airport.
I went back home, spent some time with my mother and my family , had my nap and called youssef again to come pick me up so we can go to meelas elrab3.

Youssef : Yalla ana 3nd elbab.

hamad : ahahaha hay warak warak ma btwadrk shaklha
Jasim : blah elshaiba sar7an?
Youssef : Akeed F Reemoo
Hamad + Jasim : Ahahahaa
Khalid throwing the tissue box on them. He hated when they start joking around about him and Reem.

The only thing that was important now is her. Is she alright? Did she survive?
Too bad I wont be able too see her again.
