Critical Times. 1

In a while...i convinced my self slowly, sipping my morning coffee....as if i even like coffee, i was thinking.

Nothing ever sounded so lame, as i did now....I was only hoping for the impossible...As if it would ever happen...

The telephone suddenly starts ringing!

Ok, ok, now....this is not him...he said he would call me later...that was not later...that was just the following morning...too soon...its not him...its al-right I can pick up the phone and its going to turn out to be some relative or friend...

This voice starts screaming in my brains..." You know if you don't get it...you will never know who it was....AND YOU WILL HAVE TO LIVE WITH THAT FOR EVER!!!"

Damn it!!!

I picked it up....," Hello?" The voice said.

I couldn't answer from my surprise...i was too excited...too...hmm....I made it happen...its what i was thinking... its the reverse psychology...He would have never called unless i wanted it so much, right?

"Hellllooo?"the voice said again

"Oh, uhhmm,Hi."

"Ibrahim....Is this you?" he asked, knowing in advance it was me, i guessed.

"Oh, Divan? is this you?" I also asked knowing it was him...how could i ever forget the voice i wanted to hear for the past 12 hours to tell me it will happen..

"Yes, Its me, its Divan...Am i calling in too early or something?"

"No, No,No...uhhmm...i mean...Ya...NO...I meant...Ya...No...its fine... really it is." Can i ever sound even more retarded?

" Wow...I didn't know you wanted it that much...you sound so excited....So I called my friend in America...And guess what? They have one empty position in the group...And when I told him about your devotion, he was more than happy he said to have you join them...But their is only one problem..."

"What? What problem?" I asked...Screaming deep down inside...No! No problem...!!! 

" Well. He said they cant keep this position vacant for more than a couple of days...And that means if you were to take it...You should be on your way now...or ready to leave.".............."Are you ready to leave in a few hours?" He asked.

"Yes... Of-course i am....Sure" I answered still sounding so excited...not even thinking if i was actually ready to leave in a few hours...to a country located at least 13 hours away...And i was supposed to stay their for god knows how long....I was being stupid now.

"OK then, I will book you a ticked now...I know someone who can help us out....And don't worry about the expenses...you can repay them later."

"Thank you!...Thank you so much...You really don't know how much i want that...Its important...Its critical to me i guess. Thank you so much!"

He interrupted me saying" Don't thank me now...you will thank me later..."

To be continued....

NOW IS THE TIME. NOW IS THE PLACE.
