Jerusalem

Chapter 28 (Written in the stars)

     The soldiers started marching towards the planes. Youssef waited till the last soldier got on the plane.

He was about to go in when he heard her.

"Youussef, Youssef .....Youssef " she called him running as fast as she can. He stood still and turned to face her. She ran faster and threw herself in his arms. He hugged her back, and her feet no longer touched the ground.

"I don't want to say goodbye" she whispered .

"Then don't . Goodbyes are no good."he said carving her in his mind.

"Youssef, I want you to know. I want you to know that ... The way our horizons meet. This was written in our stars. I mean that there is no escape. I found only one way in your everlasting love and no way out. And...yo...you are the best thing that ever happened to me. And I can't tell you how grateful I am for our eternal love. You gave me forever. And this love is the most real thing I've ever felt in my entire life . I was quite unextraordinary. But our love story made me quite the opposite. And this is more than I could ever dreamed of. Maybe we don't have forever but we had each other. And it's more than enough for me. "

"I love you so so much. " she said , her tears dangling on her cheeks.

"I love you too. " he whispered between his lips.

"Be safe" she said feeling her heart burning.

He smiled to that , then kissed her forehead. She laid her hands on his jacket , grabbing it . He brushed her lips gently. And turned around and walked towards the plane.

"Please, come back to me. Please."she called after him. He looked back at her and smiled with his eyes.

"If I died, I won't regret my life. Because I had everything I ever wanted in life, I had you. You...you loved me..you really loved me..you made me happy. I tasted joy every second I spent with you. So I am the one that is thankful. " he said and started walking towards the plane .

The war news was everywhere. Egypt was amazed by the long awaited attack. For decades, the Arabs have been waiting for one of their countries to step in and fight Israel, take Palestine back and free Jerusalem. And now Egypt had come eventually into the picture. Everyone had witnessed that in the past year, Egypt had come along way. For the first time in a long time, Egypt paid it's debts, it's economy is getting stronger than ever, the education started to go in the right direction with new learning techniques and new books, even agriculture is better and fruitful, the unemployment rate has been decreased massively, the medical care has also been increased and developed, and the poor number was decreased naturally.

Of course Egypt isn't perfect at the mean time but at last it is moving, moving in the right direction.

People were divided in the streets . Some said that this was not the right time for a war against Israel and some were saying that we've already been late and we should have gone to this war along time ago. But despite all of that, everyone was voting for us to win the war. Jerusalem was and is a dream that so far had been unreachable . It was a dream of dignity , of freedom , of dependence and most of all of revenge. We wanted revenge so bad. We wanted to make them pay for everything , for all they did to us. This time we are coming to take what's ours. We are taking everything back. We are not going to stand in silence any more. We are not going to watch injustice and marvel at it without rising against. No, we will rise. Rise against it all.
