I put the grocery bags down after coming inside the house, setting my keys on the counter and placing the bags on the table, putting the stuff away, until I heard a voice. 

"FATIMA, FATIMA!" Mama was calling me, hm I wonder what for and why did she sound excited as well? 

"Yes mama? Ana in the kitchen Mama." She came in holding two papers. 

"We're going! We're going to Jerusalem, to see your cousin get married!" That's when my whole world crashes down. 

I'm going to Jerusalem ...that means I have to see my cousin Samer, whom I've avoided for 5 years, since I was 16. Ya Allah help me through this. I even remember when I left Amman 5 years ago, and let's just say that it didn't end well between a 16 year old and a 21 year old. 
•••••••

What happens when these two meet again after 5 years of no communication with each other?

#556 in Spiritual ||20.12.17|| (BOOK 1 IN TEENAGE DEEN SERIES) I walked in to my house to see my parents are sitting in the living room, heads down, somehow in a shameful manner. This is something new because usually my parents don't care about me, but today they realised well... acknowledged my existence. "Bashira, come here please" my mum begins. I walk slowly towards them and take a seat, thinking they found out a secret, my heart beating erratically as I take a seat. "Dear..." my father began. "Yes dad" I asked quietly looking down. "Darling you are married" my mother broke the news. I looked up eyes watery and I did one thing. I ran. I ran for my life. "Bashira! Come back!" My dad screamed. Escaping from the reality and going into my own version of reality. As I sped down the road I could feel the tears slowly rolling down my cheek, my heart slowly falling with me... ✨✨✨🥀 Bashira Ali, a young devoted girl!
