Sayonee

Chapter 1

SUNDAY morning, starts out late as usual. Waking up around 1:45 or 2:30 pm. Mother yelling at my siblings or hearing them enter the room and making noise just to get me up. It's so annoying that I just get the urge to slap them or yell at them to get out of the room. Though mother comes from behind and gets mad because I have awaken late again.

"Get up already! Look it's already 2:00!" Mother yells as she started to clean the messy room that seems like it hasn't been clean for a long time.
"Mmmmm, I'm up." I say as I twist and turn in my cozy bed that is keeping me warm from cold world.

"Get up before I pull the blanket off you! It's so late and the house looks like a mess!" Mother keeps on going as I pick my phone to check the time and see all my notifications from my family group, friends, and HIM-

I open my phone and go straight to the chat. He answers to my question I asked. After years of no contact I finally get to talk to him. We started to talk when I was in 6th or 7th grade.

The conversation started out from me asking him about a game. How to play or how to download the game on my laptop. It was an amazing feeling I got just talking to him.

After years of talking then during two months of 2020 we didn't text at all.

On December of 2020 we got the most magnificent news that he was coming. Yes! Him! I was so happy to hear that, that I didn't know if I was dreaming or not. It was such a beautiful feeling knowing he was coming here to America.

(Wait, wait! Before we get to that I should introduce you to 'him'. Who is this him? Well he is my cousin that I have fell in love with when I was 6/7 years old. Yes! His name is Aoun. He is such an amazing most handsome person ever! Me and him have so much in common that makes me more happy. He also has loyalty that he thrives for and only pure love like me. We both bound for pure and honesty. He is couple years older then me couple, I mean by 5/6 years...but age doesn't matter, what matters is the love bond between two people. BACK TO THE STORY)

Atlas he is coming today! I'm so excited that I don't know what to say or what to do when he comes. The plan is we will go to the airport and pick him up and come straight to my house. Everyone will gathered over at my house. The best part of the plan is that he will be staying at my house.

"Wake up I already made breakfast for you. Go get freshened . We don't have much time I need to clean the house make the food and Aoun bhia is coming. So hurry up!" Mother says in a stressful tone.

I get up and go do my usual freshen up, ate breakfast for an hour, I clean around the house, then I take a shower and finally I rest. "Ting." I got a notification from him. He send me few pictures of him getting on the plane and of the plane and eating and all. Just looking at the pictures I just wanted to be on the plane to! After so many years I haven't been on a plane. But eventually I'm going to be on the plane with him!

[Time Passes By To Night]

My dad comes home freshens up and changes. Then we call to know who's car we taken because obviously the cousin are all going to pick him up. So we need a big car. I mean also for the suit case that might have amazing gift for me you know.

So we finally decide who's car we going in. We choose my cousins car. Her car has 3 sections and it's a family size which is perfect.

We then get a call from Aoun saying he has landed and has gotten everything done. So then we head to the place we decide to meet up at.

Me my brother and my dad drive to a near by area where they can come and pick us up. We wait for them near a gas station that has few stores made near by and around it.

"Peep,peep!"
"Oh they are here let's go." My dad says as we hear the car park next to us. I felt so nervous and excited that I felt so lost I didn't know what should I say or do when I see him. We get in the car and make sure there's enough space for everyone and the suit case (Gifts) and space for him.

"You excited Wali?" My younger cousin asks my brother.
"Yes!" He say excitedly but nervously. On our way to the airport they all talked about on how things are going and other adult stuff.

We finally reach the airport and try to find a parking spot, because it's an airport and it's always rush especially in December. Which is a festival month and Christmas is coming. So people are on there way meeting family members or are going out of country meeting love ones. Tho my love one has come to see me!

We park and all of us get out of the car and walk inside the airport. My dad stayed outside by the car the rest of us went in. I was walking behind them and the rest were ahead of me .

"There he is!" My eldest cousin says. I look over to where she was pointing. I felt butterflies in my stomach that I just didn't know what I was doing. My mind was like wow this is real or a dream?

There he is standing right in front of me after 7 years of not seeing each other. That feeling of confusion, frisson and love just all in one was in me. Which created this huge massive dynamic in me.

"Aoun." I whispered~
