A young girl, finished her high school, and broke her money-box to check wether she can now travel outside her small country Lebanon or not. She wanted to travel to Germany, we didn’t know the reason, but whenever she surfed the websites for cheap tickets her destination was always this country. The money was only enough for reaching there and I think the one who gave her the visa was daydreaming, she doesn’t seem to be a tourist! She doesn’t meet the criteria! For the bank account, it can cover the ticket only, and for a reason to come back , well she doesn’t have one! In a Sunday early morning, Lana stepped on the German land. She was excited without knowing why, maybe because she can only remember her older brother choosing this country when playing Atari 10 years ago , and she had never seen the Atari nor her brother since that time after the war. She doesn’t know if the Atari still exists, or even her brother she doesn’t know if he is still with her on this planet earth. After the Lebanese war, many people were lost, missing and homeless. The war that made her hear only the sound of bombs and the sound of the people in the orphanage. Well, Lana never came out of that place till now! Walking around this new country was a therapy for Lana, she felt like she is charging her soul and body. She spent there 5 days, for some these days are not enough but for others this is a medicine. While on her way back, in the bathroom making sure she looks good talking to herself in her own language :” No one is going to see this beauty.” A women sitting and breastfeeding her baby suddenly said:” You talk Arabic ! Wow, I am Moroccan” ,Lana :” This is awesome, I am Lebanese”. The other lady with a big smile:” Wow, I am married to a Lebanese man called Kosay, all his friends are Lebanese too, so I am used to your accent! Lana was happy, but she is not used to talk to strangers, she spent all her life in one building, this was too much for her but she was trying to be funny. Lana:” you have a really beautiful girl, she looks Lebanese I can see”. The other women laughing :” Yes , even her traits are Lebanese, she loves foooood !” Lana wanted to end the conversation since she doesn’t want to make effort talking, but the second women was so happy chatting. She even gave Lana her phone number. Lana had enough, and leaving will save her from saying more weird stuff so she told the women to take care. The other women holding her baby:” Honey Lana say Bye to our new friend.” Lana:” Now I know the reason I like your baby , she has my name!” The other woman:” This is nice, my husband named her after his sister” - Lana:” Good husband, goodbye and hope to see you soon.” Lana was on her way out of the bathroom, busy holding her bags and trying to open the door, the women was still there talking on phone:” Okay , I will go out now we are ready Kosay darling.” Lana stopped, and felt like the earth stopped moving too...
