The immigrant i once was

Bye bye old life

I have nothing to lose
As if a ton of adrenaline was squeezed inside my body i checkes the date of the ticket which was in 2 days, i called my parents told them that i am going for vacation and i started packing.
Those two days passed extra slow, but today i woke up, the day of my flight, i did my usual routine but this time very cautious, very slowly, as if i am trying to atay in this moment forever, it's not easy to leave everything behind but i have to.
I finished my coffee, took a shower, and after getting ready my brother called.
"I am here come down" he said
My brother is my father figure, and if you think this is hard for me,you can't imagine how hard it is for him.
I threw the paper cup, took my luggage, and looked for the last time at the empty house, empty from furniture but full of memories.
A single tear went down my cheek bringing me back to reality, i left my keys on the table for Cindy to take them and i went down to my brother's car.
We didn't say anything we just hugged each other,
"Are you excited because i am, you deserve this sis" he smiled
"I don't know what I am feeling man but let's hope for the best" i said
And the car ride after that was silent.
I arrived to the airport, hugged my brother one last time as he murmured a take good care of yourself trying to avoid crying.
Passport check, luggage weight, anddd a 2 hour delay at the airport, well we are off to a good start.
As i got in the airplane a flight attendant showed me my seat and after sitting there i starting thinking about everything and everyone.
I should be happy for this opportunity, i had no friends, my family was distant, my job barely paid the bills, and a lot more.
I decided to watch a movie so i put harry pitter because i already watched it and i didn't feel like watching something new.
"This is my first flight" a girl next to me said
And as i looked at her she had a yellowish color
"Are you okay?" I asked
"Not really, i am scared and my heart is racing" she answered
"Heyy don't worry it's my first flight too" i answered trying to seem reassuring
"Anyways, there are some people who travel everyday for work" i said but this made her even more worried so i tried to change the subject
"What's the purpose of your flight" i asked her trying to take both my and her mind off of things that worry us
"My brother's wedding is next week so i have to go, i was excited until now" she replied
"That's nice and what are you gonna wear?" I said and that's when i felt like she is calmer every minute
"A yellow dress do you wanna see it?" She asked smiling
"Of courseee girl show me" i said
She showed me basically the clothes of al her family that she said went there a month ago
And then she asked the question that brought me back to reality
"What about you what are you gonna do in Dubai" she asked
"Well short answer is i don't know, long answer is i will try to find a job and start a new life there, or maybe a vacation, or even marry a rich guy" i tried to be sarcastic in the end because i didn't want to ruin the vibe.
And before we knew it we arrived to the airport, i said goodbye to her and went to claim my luggage.
I found christy in the end of a hallway, as usual on her phone but this time she had a guy with her.
She saw me and hung up and ran to hug me.
"I miss youuuu bitch" she said
" i miss you moreee i swear" i replied smiling
I cant say i wasn't feeling happy, but you know worrying and overthinking usually take the most part of my mind.
The guy shook my hand " christy told me a lot about you, my name is Edward" he smiled
" how much exactly did she tell you" i said trying to be funny
" welll i might have told him more than necessary while we were drunk" she said
One thing i didn't mention is that christy at some point was in love with me and just when i decided that i might fall for a girl she travelled and we never tried, but i am glad, because we are better off friends
"Let's take you home first" she said
"How was your flight" asked edward
I told them about the girl and i called my brother to let him know we landed safely as we made our way to her brabus
" that's a nice one" i said to christy
" best ride for you honey" she winked
Wow, Dubai is even prettier than what we see on TV
