By growing up

I was a little girl, who only cared about cooking games, taking a shower while giving my barbie toy a shower too and wake up too early to open the TV on my favorite cartoon channel, this was the best life I can ever get ! It was the best moments that I prayed to never disappear.

I was a 7 years old girl that looked small, thin, with curley brown hair above the shoulders and small eye glasses, who had a short event which played a role in -literally- changing her life.

I was living in a medium sized beautiful house, which was in a really big garden, which had also another three houses, one is for my grandparents, one for my old uncle, and the other was for my young uncle who wasn't married yet.

Our garden was my other house as I was spending most of my free time in it between, under and onto the trees' branches.

There were fig, olive, lemon, hazelnut, loquat, red cherries, green cherries, peach, grapes and cypress trees.

It was also filled with green fresh grass that moves softly from the air passing by.

Cypress trees were the frame of the garden, they were just like drawing the borders of it, and the other trees were scattered in one half of the garden, as the other half had firstly my grandparents' house, then my old uncle's house with a space between the two of them, which was wide enough to walk under the sun, sit on one of the three staris there or sit on the top stair of the well.

Behind these two houses there was a small area with green grass, loquat, grapes and sage trees.

Then there was my beautiful house which had fig and lemon trees with some cute plants and flowers in several small basins in front of it.

Behind it there was my young uncle's home, which was empty most of the time, only my young uncle sits there with loud music.

My uncle who was living in a foreign country, a totally different continent and culture, came by to our country with his small family, which contained a beautiful short wife, that has bronze skin, black soft hair to the shoulders, cute face and nice eyes, she had the ability to gain weight easily so she was eating whatever she wants and at a specific time, she dances for two hours as a sort of exercise and it was so good and beneficial !

They had only two children, the first one was Rizz, he was the big brother who's about 10 years old with black soft hair, small brown eyes, who's talkative, sociable and so friendly.

The younger brother was Nazz, who was about 8 years and had a very soft light brown hair, brown eyes which looked just like japanese people's eyes, and cute face with filled cheeks.

I was the over polite girl and over shy kid, I went to greet my uncle and his wife, but not their kids who were my cousins !

I watched them engaging with my other cousins, playing, running and laughing loud together, and couldn't just go run and pretend that I'm not shy, I neither talked to any of them !

Of course I didn't like to stay alone but I didn't know how to initiate a move, or even to start a game, I couldn't even talk in their language, except a few words which can't help us understand each other.

The day after that, I went outside to sit with the family, smiling with red cheeks under the glasses and brown curley hair around them.

I sat in front of my young foreign cousin, as he was nearly my age, so I thought we might try successfully to get along.

He looked at me and....

That was the beginning of my new experience.
