A Footstep Of Gaza

New Friends

It's been a week since he goes to the college. He is even being friends with some mates from another class. A guy names Marco comes up while bringing a meal.

"Salut les potes! Je prends une salade pour mon déjeuner. Qu'allez-vous manger pour le déjeuner, Tony?"
"Je vais prendre du pâté"
"Et toi Gaza?" Marco threw a question.
"I'm having some roasted salmons with salad dressing"
"Ah, I kinda understand it. You can speak french, Gaza?" Tony asked.
"Just a little bit" Gaza answered.
"No worries, I can speak three languages, french, spanish and english. So where are you from?"
"I'm from Mysiq"
"Can you spell it, please?
"M-y-s-i-q"
"Where is it?"

Marco takes a phone from his pocket and looks for the city on the digital map, but he finds nothing. Then Gaza opens up the digital map of his. Marco is suprised how can it happen. But then he realizes that he doesn't upgrade his app yet.

(They're laughing together)

"At first, my grandfather developed the musk scents, then he tried to sell them to his neighbors until it spread widely up to overseas. Then, he became the largest exporter of musk oil. So that was why the city called as Mysiq" Gaza explained.
"Wow, that's great" Marco replied

When the bell rings they go back study to their class. Their lessons between practice and theory are so balanced. Knowing he studies military, Gaza is so critical of himself. He really takes care of himself mentally and physically. Hisyam also help him regulate his diet.

"Gazaly, avoid eating different proteins at the same time. As often as possible eat some green vegetables"
"What about I eat pasta with salmon?"
"Choose one" Hisyam said.

(Gaza is looking for fruits in the kitchen shelf)

"Oh no, I run out of avocados! Grandpa, I think I should go to the supermarket"
"Are you going to go there by yourself?"
"I will call Mr. Gery to be with me"

Gaza calls Mr. Gery to pick him up at the supermarket. There he finds a lot of fresh fruits on discount. But when he intends to put a bunch of grape on his basket, a girl comes to take it as well. So, their hands are holding the same thing. A brunette girl with wistful look and light brown eyes keeps looking at Gaza. That makes him lower his gaze.

"Uhm, désolé" She said.

(He throws a smile at her)

He moves out his hand to take Kiwi de l'Adour. Then he goes to the cashier for payment. Upon arrival at home he just realized he should buy some avocados. So he writes down the list things he should buy then he goes back to the supermarket.

In the evening, he is cooking some meals for dinner tonight. He is playing some tracks while cooking. Some baked salmons, almond tart covers in melted neufchâtel cheese. He also serves a bowl of vanilla gelato.

(Hisyam comes to the kitchen to brew coffe)

"Gazaly, I'm going to go back to Mysiq next week. I think about the presence of a household assistant may help you"
"I think so. But, I have to get used to it now or then" Gaza replied.

(They both are sitting for dinner)

"And don't forget you're already in your middle adolescent and you should celebrate it soon. You have a lot of friends, don't you?"
"I just have four close mates. But yeah at least, I know their names"
"So just invite them to celebrate the party with you"
"Yeah, I will"

Gaza thinks of renting a restaurant but then he thinks of another place. He plans to celebrate it at the End Semester Examination, in the beginning of the year. Because he has to take the exam within two weeks later. There is a moment he comes home exhausted. Hisyam is on the couch doing his works on laptop.

"May peace be upon you, grandpa"
"And may peace be upon you. Gazaly, how's your day?"

(He is sitting next to his grandfather)

"Thank God, it's been good. I just finished the exams today"
"Great. Anyways I'm going to go back to Mysiq tomorrow morning"
"Why doesn't it happen in the evening, so I can take you up in the airport" Gaza grumbled.
"Cause there are some things I need to take care of soon. Moreover, I find a gold mine so I must fight for declaration that it's mine"
"Don't people acknowledge the existence of the gold mine is yours, even during a meeting a woman wants to cooperate with you over the gold mining"
"An official letter from the government is a proof which is more strengthen the ownership of the gold mine. Cause I want to pass it down to my descendants only" Hisyam affirmed.

It seems that after Hisyam's return to Mysiq, Gaza's passion loosens up. After college he oftentimes skips his dinner. He also becomes dependent on vitamins and another types of immune boosters. At time he is studying, he receives a message from Marco invites him to hang out in the weekend.

"Bien" He replied.

Gaza with his four mates are going to the Gulf of Morbihan by riding Marco's car. There they meet guys dresses up like a rapper style are on the same boat.

"Bonjour, mes potes. Ça va?" Marco greeted them.
"Très bien. Ah Gaza, et toi ça va" Tony said.
"Ouais, merci" Gaza replied.

Then they are having their moment in the same boat to have a sight on the beauty of natural harbour. Even the girls show their skill in swimming. A blonde girl comes to Gaza.

"Hey, do you want to swim?"
"Uhm..."
"C'mon"

(She pulls Gaza's hand)

"Wait, I'll take my shirt off"

They are swimming together with another mates. The girl looks good at swimming until one moment she dives for a long time.

"Where is Emily?" Marco asked.

Emily doesn't show up and they start in panic. So Gaza dives right away to look for her. When she sees him in the same depth, she swims towards Gaza and kisses him. They are kissing up to out to the surface. Then Gaza releases her kisses gently.

"See, you're looking for me it means you care about me"

(She still holds his neck and tries to kiss him)

"Gezze, I adore you, don't you know that. Out of the girls out there I wanna be the lucky ones by being you're the only one"
"Thank you for adoring me. But I'm sorry, I can't kiss you" Gaza whispered.

(He releases her touch gently)

Then Gaza goes up to the boat to wear his shirt. He makes an excuse because he must be at home before the sun sets.

"Merci pour votre bon temps"
"Ciao Gaza, à demain" The girls said.
"Have a nice day, Emily" Gaza said.

The moment happens today makes Gaza feels excited again. It also makes him more realized how important to keep his body stays fit. Until the next exams he only focuses on his study and doesn't jaunt anymore.
