Chapter Four

9 months after. 

"I can't believe you actually booked the ticket."Justine said as we walked into Primark. "And that you are going to tomorrow."

I let out a chuckle as i picked up a basket. "Well believe it, i'm going."

We began to walk further into primark. Today was the last day being in the uk then tomorrow i was flying to Peshawar to find out who my family is or who they were. It took me nine months to get to this point but after so much hard work of physio and getting myself better, this was going to be worth it.

"Do you need these?"Justine said as she picked up a sweatshirt. "Do you even know how the weather is going to be at that time?"

"It's going to be mostly warm."I replied as i picked up the vest from the other shelf. "Before you say it, i prefer warm to the cold."

"You are a div and you are going to go alone as well."Justine said as we walked into the make up area.

I picked up a pack of beauty blenders and looked at her. "I did ask you to come and you said no."

"Well i have work and i want to go somewhere cold."

"You are super weird justine."I said as i picked up few more things and placed it in the basket.

Justine rolled her eyes and then we began to walk onto the aisles. "Do you even know what you can wear there and not?"Justine asked as she began to get herself clothes.

I nodded. "Yup, shalwar kameez which i got myself a few."

"How long are you even going for?"

"Probably four weeks."

Justine dropped the clothes on the floor. "What?! Four fucking weeks?!"

I nodded. "Yeah, so?"

"Four weeks, ray! Please think about this, what if something happens?!"

"I'll be fine."

"How?"

"I just know i'll be fine, trust me on this justine."

-

"Well, you are packed."Justine said as she let out a sigh. "I don't want you to go."

"I have to."

"You don't really need to."

"I do."

"Why?"

"Because i want to find out who my family is and find out why."I replied as i let out a sigh, i picked up my suitcase off my bed. "It isn't fair that everyone knows why their parents left them but i don't know!"

"Ray pl-"

I cut Justine off. "I'm going because i need to find out for my own sanity."

Justine let out a sigh, she took a step in front of me and she pulled me into a hug. "I'll support you."

"Really?"

"Yeah."

I pulled away from the hug and looked at her. "Thank you, i really meant."

She nodded. "Well you are ready, let me get to you airport."

I nodded, Justine picked up one of my suitcases while i picked up my another one. We walked to the car and put them in the car. We got into the car. "Are you ready?"

I nodded. "Yes, Yes i am."

I was finally going, i'm finally going to see my family.
