Lower my gaze

Inseparable

First things first, 1.1k reads!!!!!! Thats unbelieveable!! I know I haven't updated in months but so many things have been going on! Ive been really busy with school and i guess i just got caught up but when school ended, I told myself this summer, I'm gonna write a whole bunch of  chapters and just keep writing but another huge thing happened....I moved. To the otherside of the world. To a whole nother time zone. I moved to africa, more specifically Egypt. Jet lagged for days!! Going from United States to Egypt is a HUGE move. So in most of my free time all ive done is sleep, I mean its not like I had anything better to do. I haven't really went out either except if you count arabic school as "going out". Yea so inshallah im staying here for all of my sophmore year to learn quran and arabic and were going back home next summer. Enough of my rambling, now that I am no longer M.I.A enjoy this chapter. I will be updating more regularly, Inshallah. **RAMADAN KAREEM**

Musa cleared his throat. By the way he was twirling his fingers, you could tell he was nervous. What he was going to say must be very important. I've never see him like this.

After a few seconds of anticipation, he finally spoke.

"Today I am 20 years old. I am a man. I am in my final year of college with a job that I love and am very very lucky to have. I have an amazing family and amazing friends everything in my life is perfect right now. Even though I have all these people around me I still feel a sense of loneliness..." His voice trailed off.

We waited for him to continue.

"Why do you feel that way honey?" Asked aunty.

"I've had this on my mind for a while now and I felt like this was the perfect time to tell all of you."

"Go on" she said.

"I want to get married" he blurted with excitement.

You could clearly see the relief that came over his face when the words left his mouth.

"Alhamudllilah that's great news son." Said uncle.

"We're so proud of you. Mashallah." Said my mom.

Everyone was so overcome with happiness. We all congratulated him on his decision.The joy on all of our faces. I was so excited I haven't been to a wedding in ages and who knows I might even get to help plan this one. Inshallah.

"My baby's all grown up. I can't believe this" said aunty with tears in her eyes. " I am so proud of you.

Suddenly a waitress came with a cake that had candles and firecrackers coming out of it that said "happy birthday Musa"

We all sang in unison "happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you. Happy birthday dear Musa. Happy birthday to you." The waitress put the cake on the table and cut it into slices for everyone. I could see from where I was sitting that it was red velvet. I LOVE RED VELVET.

We all ate the cake and talked for a while about memories rom before they moved to Pennsylvania. The conversation was getting boring so I started to zone out. Uncle suddenly said something that really caught my attention.

"Now that Tara and Sammy are going to school together. It'll be just like old times. You're reunited." He said.

"And it feels so good" Sammy said.

"Whoa, whoa Sammy and me are going to school together?" I asked.

"Yes. We just found a house in you're neighborhood and my job was transferred back here so we'll be here for good. All of except Musa that is. Due to his schooling and job situations. But he's a big boy, he'll be ok." Said uncle.
