The sky that was pouring outside…
27th of May, my journey ends with the EVS on-arrival training.
I thought it won't be difficult on me as I am used to the plenty of forever goodbyes in my life, it became something normal, but apparently I didn't know pretty much well about it.
On the last session, our trainer Roxana said: "give each other a hug, tell them your feelings, this is an experience that will end today and you will never get to live it again, those volunteers you met and shared a lot with, this would be the last time you will see them ever again, so give each other a hug!".
That moment I panicked…
The next day in the early morning, I woke up, went for a walk alone in the woods that are covering the sky for 45 minutes. The smell of wet trees and mud reminded me of my childhood, how I used to curve roads in mud and play with the tiny little cars… I heard at least tweets of three different kinds of birds. Two high trees had something like stairs nailed on them, and I wondered why?!
Back at the hotel, suitcases covering the lobby, our taxi arrived. Booked my train ticket and then headed to Bran Castle almost near Brasov…
Laith, Israa', Hiba, Rasha and I were so excited! I had to pay 25 Lei because of my age but the lady said no I'll let you only pay 10 Lei like your other friends… Thnx!!
We were inspired by the panorama of the place, and the design of that castle from inside, stairs, rooms, towers and everything! Then we had our coins shaped like Bran the Vampire! I put a real coin instead of the fake coin by mistake, and now I have the fake coin and I am happy =D
At restaurant, my friend's wallet fell and coins were scattered everywhere, they were a lot!!!
We catch the bus to Brasov, we were super exhausted and it was cold…
In the taxi to the train station, my friend started talking in Arabic about what we have been through all day, and suddenly the taxi driver answered us back in Arabic!! It was unexpected, we all laughed (he was not Arabic)!!
In my cabinet no. 125, I was alone, it was very late at night and I was heading back to Craiova for a trip that will take around 7 hours…
I was very sad, I didn't want to tell my friends bye, they were far away 7 hours from my place and I felt I don't want to let them go! I really love them, we had a lot of stories and secrets that we shared together, and a Jacuzzi in my room at the hotel! That's why I have to pay them a visit sooooon enough!!
Then I looked through the window and thought of my 25 years that passed and were it ended until the moment. I was happy for myself, I was proud of myself in an unusual way.
I felt very sleepy but I can't sleep, I am alone in the middle of the night, in a cabinet of a train that was almost empty! I struggled and kept my eyes open… I arrived to Craiova after Bucharest at 1:00 a.m, was praying dogs won't attack me on the way home and they did not…
