Niall sits in the back humming along to the radio and I sit here trying not to whine. We've been driving for an hour and I'm getting antsy.
"Ok, we're getting close, put this on," Harry grabs a bandana out from his divider.
"Why?" I ask.
"Just do it," he commands.
"Fine, sheesh," I wrap the bandana around my head and tie it.
I'm not able to see anything else but pure darkness. It scares me, makes me think they'll push me off a cliff.
The car comes to a stop and I hear doors being slammed shut. Then I feel my door open and a hand grip my arm. I step out, the person intertwining our hands.
"Don't take it off till I tell you to," Harry tells me.
"Okay," I nod, nervously.
"Don't worry, we're not going to kill you," Louis tries to help.
"Thanks," I sarcastically remark.
"It's nothing bad at all," Niall chuckles.
"Come on, they're waiting for us," Harry pulls me.
For a while we walk around and I have no idea where we are, but I hear lots of people around us. Some sounded like kids and others sounded like adults which confuses me even more. Suddenly we come to a halt and I'm itching to take off the bandana.
"Okay. Take it off," Harry announces.
I rip the cloth off and get surprised by people popping out of corner and hiding places. All familiar faces, my cousins and friends.
"Surprise!!" They all yell.
Tears appear at my eyes as one of the people pops out last from their hiding spot. My heart feels full, I don't feel alone for once. He's here, he's actually here. This is a dream, this can't be real. How? How? There's no way...
Everyone watches as the man walks up to me. They all had big bright smiles on their faces as he inches closer. I'm standing here trying to figure out if this is real. My tears won't stop falling, and my breathing thickens as I have trouble taking this in. I even pinch myself to see if I'm dreaming. But this is real. He's real, he's here. Actually standing in front of me...
"If you miss me, remember I'm always there, watching over you."
"You can never play it safe in this world."
"Your my blessing, I can't be more grateful to have you. You're going to do great things when you grow up."
"Never let anyone drag you down because you're an amazing woman."
"You'll always be my little girl even when you're older and get married and have kids of your own."
My father wraps his arms around me tightly. I cry into his shoulder as I'm shocked and blessed. He hasn't changed, he's still the same man I remember. He's in amazing shape, nothing seems to be wrong with him and I'm so thankful.
"I missed you, Lina," his voice bounces in my ears.
"You don't understand how much I missed you," I cry.
"Shh, it's ok. You're okay, I'm okay," he gives out a laugh.
"Are you real?" I cry.
He chuckles more, "of course I am."
He lets go of me, but puts his hands on my shoulders to catch ever, one of my features.
"You've grown up so beautifully," he smiles.
