Roots

Chapter Twelve

Rayanna's P.O.V

A few hours later.

Faron parked the car. He looked at Elena and me who were sitting in the back seat of the car. "We are here."

"Do you have everything on you?"Elena asked as she looked at me. "He will ask for everything."

My hands became pools of sweat, i looked down at the floor and picked up my bag. I opened and pulled out the crumpled brown file. I looked at it for a second then looked up."This is all i have of everything."

I handed it to her. She looked at it for a second then handed it to Faron. "I'm going to give it to him, i'll be back soon as."

"Tell him please not to lose it."I said as i let out a sigh, Faron nodded and opened the car door. He got up and walked out.

Elena loked at e with a warm smile." He'll find out everything for you, he's really good."

My eyes suddenly brimmed with tears, I looked down at my hands then let out a sniff.

Elena placed her hand on my wrist. "Ray?"

I looked up at her and smiled. "Since I've met you, you've been more family then anyone else. You've helped me so much, thank you."

"Ray..."

"Now you are helping me find my family which is the one thing I've wanted for such a long time."

Elena threw her arms around me and pulled me in a hug. "You will find your family and ill always be here for you whenever you need me."

I nodded, i left myself to hug her for a few moments. I felt like i had a sister, someone who was there for me finally and that fate brought us together for this moment, for us to be friends and sisters.

I pulled away from the hug, i smiled and looked at her. "Sisters?"

She nodded with a smile. "Sisters! or how we say in pashto? Khor."

"Khor."

I sat myself down on the sofa in the many of their living rooms. I finally felt like i was at home. To think, a few months ago, i never knew of a place called peshawar or even know it as a place where i belong.

I picked up my phone which was by me, I unlocked my phone and went onto my gallery to see the videos I took today of Peshawar. And the photos of me and Elena.

I decided to post one on my Snapchat story, I might as well.

I posted a picture of me and Elena, of us smiling and we looked so happy as well.

Then after, I posted a video of Peshawar.

"You are smiling today." Nassar spoke as he was stood by the TV.

I looked up from my phone, I let out a soft chuckle and looked at him. "Shouldn't you be happy that I'm happy? 

He smiled and let out a chuckle. He picked up the remote from the stand where the TV was above." Yeah, you are right on that."

He walked over to the armchair, just on the right side of the sofa I was sitting on."You don't mind me watching my series here, do you? 

"Depends what it is." I replied with a shrug of my shoulder,i turned my phone and put it by my side.

"It's called Stranger things." Nassar said as he went onto netflix. "You must of heard it."

I rolled my eyes playfully. "American Horror story is more my thing."

He looked at me and grinned. "Wandaire forced me to watch murder House, I loved it."

"Have you watched the asylum one?"

He shook his head for no."Do you wanna watch it now? If you aren't waiting for Elena."

"Sure, let's do it."

"Wait, I don't want to get you in trouble for sitting here alone with me." I quickly added remembering what Elena said to me early on.

He looked at me. "We are okay, I'm literally so far from you. And we are only watching a series, nothing else."

I nodded. "Okay, if you are sure."

"But if you want to get Elena to come and watch it with us, I don't mind."Nassar stated." I don't want you to feel uncomfortable."

"No, No. You make feel com-" I began to stutter then I cut myself off. My cheeks began to flush to the colour of red.

He let out a laugh. "You feel comfortable with me?"

"Yeah, I guess I do. You don't make me uncomfortable, I didn't want you to think that."

"Nah, Nah I got what you mean, gul."

"Gul?"

"Gul means flower, you remind me of one that's all."

I blushed. "T-Thank you."

"Now let's get onto watching asylum."

He nodded and pressed played. The first episode began to progress itself then Naz walked into the room.

He looked at us both. "What are you two doing?"

"Watching American horror story." I replied as I looked at him with a smile on my face. "Do you want to watch it with us?"

He didn't reply to me and looked at Nassar. "Ta dalta sa ka yi?"

What are you doing here?

"Bas ase mung sa goro, wele?"

We are just watching something, why?

"Kawa sanga ta ka yi, mata ma owaya da mo na owal wi tata."

Do what you want, don't say to me that I never told you.
"Mara ko, da sta tal khabara da."

You always say this.

"Sa oshi tata, yada kawa, mata byo na owaya yi."

If something happens, remember, don't tell me.

Nassar sighed, he pressed pause and got up from his seat. He placed the remote on the glass table in front of me. He looked at me. "Until next time."

Then both left the room, me not understanding why.

I let out a sigh, I'll just ask Elena when she comes back. I picked up the remote and began to watch asylum.
