Two days had passed and today I had to travel to finally face my destiny as a woman, I wondered how it would happen, I was a little nervous, I was afraid, afraid of going to a country I didn't know and also of living with a person I didn't know. My mother had prepared everything, I could feel the joy in her actions, she was happy for me, maybe because it was less likely that I would ever get tied up and I'm sure she was afraid of it. She probably didn't care about Irma because Irma was luckier than I was. The clock was ticking and it was already almost night time, my flight was scheduled for 10pm while waiting for my mother to pack the last suitcases, especially those of my father because he, mom, Irma and Amir were going with me and would be with me for a month while the wedding took place and I settled down.
Me: Mom, I don't want to go there, please leave me here
Her: Dina we have already talked about it, listen my daughter it is a good thing to get married and I told you you will be happy
Me: but I want to stay here with you
She: my baby, you can't stay with your mother all your life, a girl belongs to her husband and her family and in this case you Dina, a man deserves to have you in his life because you have the qualities of a good wife but also of a future good mother.
Me: it's really nice to say that to me mom, I assure you that it really touches me
Her: I only say what I think my darling, then you come we finish these bags?
Me: Yes. Where is Irma?
She: oh! she is in her room, she has already finished packing
Me: Okay.
Hours later
It was 9pm when we set off for Sedar Senghor airport, we waited for the call of the flight to the USA and we went there, we settled down and after a while the plane took off. I was strongly afraid that something would happen to us because I had already seen on television several crashes although it is true that nowadays there are less and less or even no crashes I was still not reassured, I prayed
I prayed in my heart to the Almighty to protect us all.
Hours and hours later
I had fallen asleep with my book in my hand but when I opened my eyes they announced at the same time that we were going to land I looked over the window of the plane and I could already see the big buildings of this country that will become mine by adoption it was already beautiful, really beautiful. I then thanked my God in my heart by showing him my gratitude to have accompanied us and to still grant us life. The plane then gradually descended before finally landing once the doors were opened.
Dad: we are going to get off and you are going to take the luggage, he said addressing us.
We got off and when my feet touched the ground of this new country I had a strange feeling, a feeling that nothing would be the same here, that everything, absolutely everything would be different.
Minutes later
We took a cab that dropped us off in front of a big and beautiful house, I looked at it and everything around it without blinking. It was beautiful and well structured.
Mom: Dina my daughter let's go in, you too Irma let's go
Me: Yes, mom, let's go.
My father rang the doorbell and it was a young white woman, I would say almost in her thirties, who came to open the door, she smiled at us and asked us to come in, we then entered the walls of this beautiful house, I contemplated everything because everything was beautiful, the house was spacious and really well maintained.
She: Sir asked me to get you settled, so I'll show you to your rooms. If you need anything, just let me know. Well, the room here is for Mr. and Mrs., the young man will occupy the room next door and the young woman the one opposite. But I would like to know first of all who is the gentleman's bride?
Mama: she is Dina
She: nice to meet you Mrs. Dina, then you will have the room on the other side, Mr. has asked that it be done so.
Me: ok, thank you
She: I accompany you there
I arrived in this famous room I remained the mouth open this room was big, really big, and especially beautiful really beautiful.
She: come
I was afraid to touch something so as not to damage it all was so clean, suddenly I felt so roomy in front of it, there was a good smell that circulated in the room and I liked it
She: is everything okay?
Me: Yes, everything is fine. Tell me what is the name of your boss?
She: Mr. Sankara
Me: ah! is he black?
Her: I would say a mixed race
Me: ah but why this name of African
She: It comes from a distant root, we kept the name because in her father's family there were black people. Besides his mother is originally from Senegal
Me: ahhhh okay I understand better. Will I have the opportunity to see him, I mean when?
Her: I can't tell you but I imagine that it will be very soon because you have to organize your wedding
Me: Ok, thank you, uh?
Her: Friend
Me: Friend then you will be my friend, I thank you for everything.
Her: You're welcome ma'am
Me: Dina my name is Dina call me that
She: Okay, I will
