All The Way From Home

chapter 1

A feeling,a feeling of getting separated from your loved ones,a feeling of going to another different world entirely,the feeling of me going too soon when i least expected it or saw it coming.

Now you'd think this is something that everyone goes through,leaving your family for college But I'm new on this I'm a victim to be precise.
I'm going to college and in the United kingdom.My uncle jalal got me a scholarship in Bedfordshire university in Luton and now let's face it I'm completely doomed ,I'm leaving my sweet ammi and abbu

"Firdaus please dont tell me youre back in your own world thinking you're doomed just because you're travelling to school next tommorow "

"Firdaus!"...and that person yelling my name right now is my best friend from childhood, I best refer her as terror,now you'd be wondering why but i have a proof on this.
in junior secondary school I was a silent person that got bullied and a day had to come a girl smashed my glasses to show who's boss , someone came to my rescue

Was it superman? No,was it batman ? I don't think so .instead it was this girl that sat behind me in class that had good grades and never talked to anyone

I'd have said she's my Angel but it was more like a devil in disguise,she punched that brat right into the face and well the rest is for rukkayah to tell on how she changed schools and did I forget to mention that made us best friends.

"Yes rukkayah I'm listening "
I said looking at her fumming face and at the same time worried

"firdaus I'm honestly worried for you ,you keep on getting into so much thought I think its affecting me too.
Look ,I was wondering what to possibly tell your parents about your situation and it skipped my mind it's almost maghrib".

"Ruqqayah you're you joking " I said laughing "

"Theres no way you're saying that , ammi will get more worried and cancel my trip which is already next tommorow "

I have finally accepted faith , a smile crept on my face which made her smile too

" Fine I'm joking , now let's zip up this big fat looking box and its good to go all the way to up up and away "
She said wanting to cheer me up

" this packing has taken a lot more time than I expected, but we're girls not suprised "

I have always thought on how our packing took more time , finally got to say it now .

" firdaus I should be going before mama gets worried on my whereabouts " she said looking a bit exhausted

" Yes its getting late "
I was even about to tell her but looks like she read my mind

at this point I was praying I wouldn't get lectures from her to not over think everything so i put on the sweetest smile on my face to assure her I'll be fine

"Fine , let me get going then . We'll talk on phone and don't forget to make my favourite before I come tommorow "

And by that she means zobo..this girl won't kill me with her love for zobo

"Anything you say princess
rukkayyah" I said making a courtesy sign

And that's how we all laughed till she finally got out of the room
I'm so going to miss that girl
