My sister just came in and told me that she's gonna get married and go to UAE by Eid Alfitr, God willing... now my initial reaction was that of , I don't knwo maybe shock... though she's been planning with her fiancefor ages, all that remained is to determain a date to carry out with the formal procedures, you know all that Jaha and engagement party kind of stuff...
The thing is, I just can't imagine her going away, leaving to be in another family... now it's not like we are those utopian sister, we don't have that intimate relationship sisters tend to have, we are different in almost every aspect, we hardly talk personal stuff... but I still can't wrap my mind around the idea... you know the idea! It's just that I still don't get the facts, that we have grown, we are no longer those little kids chasing around our neighours "kharoof el3eed" LOL sheep seemed like aliens to us :D anyways... see the point is, I graduated & started a job, my brother got into college and my sister is about to get married all in one year! And I still don't get it! I still feel like a college student myself, but I can't feel it away you know... However, this doesn't mean in anyway that I'm dissatisfied or something, conversely, I'm grateful for all of this... I'm happy, it's just that when things change, it might take sometime to register...
