"Bye Mum!" I shouted.

"Bye Darling!" She screamed back.

Nearly everyone in the room looked at us. I turned to mum and laughed, then made my way to the plane. I had my camera out as usual, trying to vlog everything that was going on.

As I sat down on my seat, a few girls at the back started squealing with delight. The flight attendants were trying to calm them down and find out the problem. I had no idea what was going on. Of course, I tried to vlog it because it'd be interesting for my video but one of the flight attendants informed me that cameras weren't allowed. What kind of nonsense is that?!

Anyway, throughout most of the journey, I watched Empire and Once Upon A Time. I mean, there was nothing else to do. I did try to get some rest but a little boy who was seated behind me decided that it was okay to cry and make as much noise as possible for 2 hours straight! 2 hours!! Plus, I was sat next to an old man who didn't say a word. That has got to be the most tedious journey ever.

I was waiting in the airport for Rumejsa to come and collect me. I've only met her once. That was last year when I had a show here but we've been best friends for years.
A few moments later, the same girls from earlier approached me. One of them was crying and the other two looked really nervous. They asked if I was Anaya and wanted to take a picture with me. I tried to comfort the girl who was crying. We sat down and spoke for a while. I even included them into the vlog. The girls told me their names and how they had been supporting me since I had started my YouTube channel! Honestly, I was really surprised. The thought of someone watching all of my videos since the beginning was just too overwhelming. I've been a youtuber for 4 years now and I still can't get my head round it.

"I don't mean to be nosey but what are you doing in Dubai?" Asked one of the girls.

"Oh, erm, I'm here for the Arab Fashion Week". I replied cheerfully.

Her eyes flung open when she heard that. "WAIT! OH MY GOD, ADAM SALEH IS GOING TO BE THERE. YOU'RE SO LUCKY!!" Her screams could have probably deafened me and everyone around us.

We talked for a little longer and took more selfies until a lady called out for them. After that I sat alone waiting for Rumejsa. My fingers kept scrolling through the explore page on instagram, hoping to find a video or receive a notification that would cure my boredom. At this point I was getting impatient and had left Rumejsa a dozen missed calls. Half an hour later she decided to call back.

"Yoo. Where the f**k are you? I've been waiting for ages" I asked through the phone.

"I know I'm sorry there was a traffic jam but I'm outside in the parking lot".

I immediately picked up my bags up and headed straight for the car park.

"Anaya Anaya!" I could hear my name being screamed. It was Rumejsa. We both ran towards each other and hugged.

"Oh my god. It's so good to finally see you again" I said with tears of joy running down my face.

"I missed you so much cow" she replied.

A huge smile was printed on her face which made me so happy. She helped me put my luggages in the boot. I sat down at the front seat of the car waiting for her. Whilst Rumejsa drove us to her home, we jammed to One direction's old songs and caught up with each other's life's. It was a 1 hour journey so I slept for the last 15 minutes. Before I knew it, we had already arrived at the house.

I could feel someone harshly pushing and shoving me. My eyes opened to see Rumejsa slapping my face and her two younger sisters standing further back, starring at me conspicuously.

"Woah! What the hell are you doing?!" I yelled, pushing her away.

"You wouldn't wake up it's not my fault. Now get out of my car" she laughed.

"Oh right, sorry. Is my suitcases and stuff still in the boot" I rubbed my eyes and got out of the car.

"No I put them all upstairs, you just need to empty them". She locked the car and then dragged me to the two girls who were still starring.

"Okay, this is Anaya and Anaya these are my annoying, horrible, mean, childish, loud, idiotic, mood.."

"Okay we get the point!" the tall one interrupted. I laughed at them, secretly hoping that I wouldn't have to deal with that everyday.

"Anyway, this is Halimah she's second born and this is Duha, the youngest out of us sisters." She didn't actually give me a chance to say hi to them, instead she dragged me inside to greet her parents. I couldn't see her new born baby brother just yet because he had just fallen asleep.

The house looked so different compared to the last time I had been here. All of the walls were painted white. Near the front door was a mosaic crackle heart mirror with pictures of their family around it. As you walk forward into the living room, you see a 70" TV stuck on the wall. On the opposite wall, there was an old family portrait. Rumejsa looked about 7 years old in the picture. Right in front of that wall was the black leather sofa. Next to it was a fake plant that actually looked pretty cool. Her parents were sat on the other sofa.

"You look very fascinated" her dad laughed.

"Haha, yeah. It's changed a lot" I smiled back.

"Yes, I like it better this way." He got up and shook my hands. Her mum then came to hug me.

"Assalamu alaikum Anaya, long time huh, how you been?" A huge smile formed on her face.

"Wa alaikum Salam, I've been good Alhamdulillah, how about you?" I responded.

"Alhamdulillah." She was about to say something else when Yusuf, the baby brother, started to cry. She went upstairs to put him back to sleep.

I dragged Rumejsa upstairs to the spare room and got her to help me unpack my things.

"Wait. Let's take a selfie for instagram" I begged.

"Okay fine" she replied, sorting out her hijab. I glanced at her, shook my head and laughed.

"I love this pic! I'm posting it yeah." I edited the picture with a filter and a white border.
