I still can't believe that I am going to leave my country, and move to Barcelona. Don't get me wrong, I am excited to move, I think it will be an adventure, but I am a bit sad that I leave everyone I love behind.
-"Isabel!" I hear my mother
-"Sí?" I shout back
-"¿Estás segura de que no quieres que vayamos contigo a Barcelona? ¿Por lo menos una semana?
(Are you sure that you don't want us to come with you to Barcelona? At least for a week?) asks my mother hoping that my answer changed since this morning when she asked me
-"No te preocupes, estaré bien."
(don't worry, I'll be fine.) I answer very calmly
-"Tienes suerte de que tu hermano viva allí, porque si no, no te dejaría ir."
(you are lucky that your brother lives there, because if not, I wouldn't let you go) my mother says before leaving my bedroom
When my mother leaves the room, I start packing my luggage, because I am leaving tomorrow.
I put all the essential things I need during the first few days before I leave my brother's apartment to go live in my apartment, I'm soo excited!!
I already bought the apartment with some financial help from my parents, but I can only move in it in two weeks. And that's why I'm staying at Ramiro's.
I was packing until I heard my phone make a sound meaning that I received a notification.
Hermanito🇨🇱
Hola hermanita!
hola hermanito
Quería decirte que conocí a
gente muy buena y me invitaron
a esta fiesta, pero es
exactamente el día después de
tu llegada, ¿quieres venir conmigo?
(I wanted to tell you that I met
some really nice people and they
invited me to this party, but it's
exactly the day after your
arrival, do you want to
come with me?)
sí, claro
Entonces, te veré mañana
en el aeropuerto
Buenas noches!
(then, I'll see you tomorrow
at the airport.
Good night!)
buenas noches
Tomorrow
I am listening to some hispanic music while waiting for the plane. My family kept sending me messages telling me to be careful, to have fun...
I am looking forward to going to the party tomorrow. I asked my brother who are these people he met, but he won't tell me.
I guess I'll just meet them there.
I am very happy because I haven't seen my brother since he moved to Barcelona, and that was like 2 years ago.
After the flight, at the airport
The plane finally landed, I recognised my brother easily as he didn't change much since i last saw him.
-"¡Holà! I say hugging him
-"¡Holà! ¿Cómo fue su vuelo? asks Ramiro
(Hi! How was your flight?)
-"Fue muy bueno" I say, before realizing
that my brother isn't alone
(It was very good)
There's a tall man next to him. I don't recognise him immediately, but then I realise it's João Félix. I didn't know that my brother was friends with him but I guess I'll just say hi.
-"Hello, my name is Isabel, you can call me Isa, I'm Ramiro's sister." I say shaking his hand
-"My name is João Félix, I know who you are. I'm sorry I don't really speak spanish."
-"Don't worry, it's ok." I say smiling
I didn't want to make it too obvious, but the man was cute.
This was the first chapter...did you like it? The next one will be published Tuesday afternoon probably.
