All The Way From Home

chapter 5

As i entered abbus parlour as he has sent for me, my eyes landed on his pair of glasses kept on a newspaper and a glass of water close to it, all on the side table beside his couch he sits on to read his newspaper . But that happened more of before unlike now

"Firdaus"
I turned seeing him coming out from the small balcony door connected to his parlour

" na'am abbu "
"Marhabaan , masaa el khair" (welcome back, good afternoon )

"Bi khair alhamdullilah "(I'm fine,praise be to Allah )"

"You're resuming school today right ?I'm sorry I didn't get to attend the dinner , I was too busy in office " he said while sitting down and reaching for his glass of water

"Yes , ammi told me you were busy .my flight is 10 pm "

"Okay then, you may leave " he said with evidence of no interest in the talk

I then stood up to leave while thinking what has possibly changed abbu

...................................................................

"Ammi I'm going to miss you so much " by the time I was saying this , my entire face was covered in tears .

It was finally time to go and I was uncle jalal was waiting by the car hoping this drama would come to an end
And did I mention Ahmad was here too ? But who cares , he should see the big girl cry , all i Care for right now is ammi , Abbu and my two pests whom i've already had crying moments with also

"Yalla firdaus its time to go " ammi made this her final goodbye while I gave her a tight hug and finally got into the car while uncle jalal had this face of " alhamdullilah "

Ahmad waved and I returned it while he just smiled . Everything from then seemed like a blur and maybe me looking out the window the whole time of going to the airport contributed to it

"Firdaws " uncle Jamal called

"Yes uncle "

" you look worried , everything is going to be alright okay? Cheer up now " he said with a smile

I responded by letting a small smile creep on my face

"Firdaus" "firdaus"

I wake up not believing I actually dozed off from the distance of home to airport
" unbelievable " I said under my breath

So the day has finally come

He helped bring my box down and my small hand luggage was held with me like my life depended on it

"Yalla lets go " he finally said walking to the entrance of the airport

After all checking in processes ,I got to identify my box and got in the plane having in mind I'm not sitting with uncle jalal so i began to look for my seat .

Just when i finally saw it , i realised someone was suddenly firdaus Mohammad , and the firdaus has to be a grumpy looking guy looking in his mid 20's dressed in a whoa...whoa
Enough details ,I need to get him off my seat

"Errm mister "
On a normal day I wouldn't be this polite so this guy better do his self a favour

"Yes ,how can I help you ?" Guy - firdaus replied looking like I just told him the story of world war 3 , boredom evident all in his seat- snatching face

"You're sitting on my seat "

"What's your seat number ?"
This guy must be kidding

"Its 14C and oh...look you're sitting on it , I don't assume you have an issue with sight "

That should do

" The only one having a sight problem here is the fat face having four eyes talking to me right now "

And this is when i declared world war 4 in the plane to London
