Loving My Cousin (#Wattys 2017)
14 parts Complete 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.
