This is it

tomorrow is the day and I have butterflies in my stomach.

my prayers as I closed my eyes was

"abroad please be nice to me"

I woke up early to help my mom a little, she helped me pack and told me to be safe and have fun as Julius picked me up

"so this is it"

"yes Julius"

"I will be coming abroad in two weeks let's get in touch okay"

"ok"

"mark all the things you want to do there and when I come we will go have the fun your mom talked about"

"I will"

Julius said his goodbyes and left as the plane took off

"this is my first time going away from my mom to a far away place and for that long. to the place I come please be extra nice to me"

I sat with excitement as I watched the city beneath me. I kept smiling but it turned into disappointment.

when I got there I didn't find my sister waiting for me maybe she was busy so I called her but she didn't pick it

it was evening there so I couldn't stay in a place I didn't know for long so I decided to pick a car and head to the place she once gave us, I showed the driver the address in my diary and asked him to take me there.

I guess that was my second mistake. my first mistake was probably living the airport to a place I don't know and it taught me a lesson.

as the car kept going I realized the place we were heading seemed too quite, he stopped and picked some two dudes, I became a little cautious so I told him

"excuse me, I don't feel well, can you help me find a washroom"

"ok there's one around this corner"

"please it urgent"

"ok here, you can go inside"

as I stepped out he kept watching me

"where are you going with your bag?"

"um the issue is, uh! am even ashamed, it's that time of the month and I need to change my tampon"

yes I said that, I used that excuse.

Thank you Julius. why?

flashback

"why have you packed a lot of things, you don't know the place it's better to just get few things and besides you can use your sisters clothes for the mean time. in a place you don't know, I think you shouldn't carry too much things Incase of anything"

because of this advice I only had a little traveling bag which I can run with.

as I got out I ran and heard them behind me running after me and shouting.

"oh no the police"

"hey miss, why are you running?"

"oh nothing"

just when I thought I was safe

'thief!!!!"

I heard those dudes shouting, they didn't see the police so I guess we were all caught up.

"thief?" the police asked

"yes she refused to pay us"

"I forgot I was excited to meet the person I came here for, so how much"

"30"

"ok here you go"

I paid and they left

"so I guess that's it, can I go?" I asked the police

"no, let me search you first"

he took out my passport and checked

"who are you meeting here again?".

"uhm uhm"

just when I thought that was it I heard someone speaking my dialect standing besides a car, about to open

the thought that came to my mind was since he comes from my city he can help me

"him, yes him" I said pointing at him

"him?!!" the two police looked shocked

"oh darling, I miss you so so much" I said as I ran towards him and hugged him leaving him a little surprised, maybe too much.

"please help me out" I said in our dialect

"he's the one I am here to see, he is my fiancé"

"he's what?" the police asked

"I am your what?" he asked

what's wrong with this guy, can't he act

I asked myself when he looked shocked

"lady are you sure?" the police asked

at that moment of doubt, I had to do it.

I kissed him....yes I kissed a stranger I just met.
