The luminous tale of life

Dreams come true.

There I stood... Startled with amazement...  Did I just hear what I heard or was I dreaming?! 'Wh... What? I stuttered eventually coming back to reality. 'You heard me Nadjla, you've been offered the chance to travel to New York for a job interview to become a better advanced optician!' 'Your skilled Nadjla don't you see! This is your chance my child! Take it! You don't believe how much I am proud of you Nadjla.. You have made me have much more faith in success. You have been so successful Nadjla! 'S... S.. Sir thank you so much! I couldn't of made it without you! You have done so much for me Mr Newman! Ever so much! How could I possibly repay you?! My eyes began to tear up as I directly stared into Mr Newman's eyes awaiting for his answer. 'My dear child, there is only one way to repay me and that is by taking this chance. I haven't taught you for nothing and you haven't been studying for nothing either.' I began to cry, I couldn't... I couldn't for one second believe this was even happening! I had finally achieved what I had been wanting all along! My dream job! Not only that but I could help my parents with this job for sure! 'Why thank you so much Mr Newman' I said while sniffing away my runny nose and wiping away my tears. 'You really deserve a return in favour and by doing so I accept this very offer. 'Thank you Nadjla. You really do surprise me in a good way.' I chuckled. 'Mr Newman.. When exactly is all of this taking place?'
'You will be leaving on the 5th of February.' That was in exactly two days! 'Everything is sorted too. You shall be staying at a hotel near by the place you shall hopefully be working in.' 'Your flight is also booked with everything else so there is nothing to worry about Nadjla.' Actually there  was something to worry about.... My parents! How will they let me travel that far without supervision over me!?  Ya Allah help me please! How will they accept me to go, when the flight is in two bloody days! This was not good. I have to figure something out like literally now! 'Nadjla you seem off what's up? Something bugging you?'
'No Mr Newman... I lied. Its just that I'm pretty nervous.. I lied again. 'Everyone feels this way when it comes to these sorts of situations, but its normal trust me. Besides your full of skill nothing to be worried about.' 'Thank you again Mr Newman.' I said my final goodbyes as I was about to leave. I walked towards the elevator and pressed the button awaiting for the elevator to arrive. I turned back one last time as I waved goodbye to Mr Newman. A tear dropped out of my eye and made its way down to my cheek. DING! The elevator had arrived. I turned back walked in and turned back to face Mr Newman one last time. 'Whatever you do Nadjla Youseuf don't ever give up! He screamed. Just as I was about to answer, the elevator doors had shut. I smiled and whispered to myself 'Nadjla Youseuf will never give up.'
