Chapter Three

Sabrina is also twenty-two, and as the saying goes, >> Birds of the same feathers always fly together<<. That was the deal between the two. Sabrina wasn’t popular among the natives and came from Poland. At least, that’s what she’s saying. Her name screams German. Both girls headed into the washroom, where Sara went further into the bus location. >>Oh, the upcoming lover birds. This is the same way my parents met in the ’90s <<. Sabrina teased. >>Stop, it isn’t that funny. First and last, I am not dating anyone and probably won’t for a long time<<. Sara exclaimed. The girls teased each other a bit before entering into their different classes. Sara’s grumpy biology teacher was already in front of the class, and Sara’s… one would say giant nemesis due to preferences of terms in biology. >>If it wasn’t Miss Tonoyan coming late, who would it be<<. Sara apologized, not wanting to engage in any teacher-student fight. Above all, she knows better. She is here on a scholarship. Even though she knows she isn’t late, the teacher tries to make a big fuss. He had already gotten five students released from their scholarships this semester. Seeking peace at his own house but not finding it, Amir, the young driver Sara encountered this morning, shuts the door behind him and rides off on his bike to his so-called palace. He is a young parent with a son at the age of twenty-six. His wife is two years older than him, and because of that, she thinks she must be in control of everything, including Amir’s life. Not less to say, this has had a significant impact on their formal, peaceful relationship. There was even one time when they wanted to divorce badly, but because of their son, they had to cover it up. Amir is half German and half Arabic, while his wife, on the other hand, is entirely German. They had met at a house party where they both accidentally had intercourse, leading to their marriage and current situation.                      

Sitting in the sand on the beach, Amir digs into the past, where he had a lot of peace. On that day, he might have drunk too much, so when his friends bet on him to ask the blond girl, who is currently his wife, Amir, at that time, he didn’t want to be seen as a loser, so he went up to Christine. They hit it off not much time after the unwanted thing happened. It was too late to back off. Amir was pulled back to his timeline by the incoming call from his wife. He hesitates to pick but does it eventually. Christine, who would typically go bonkers on Amir for his sudden disappearance, sounded panicked this time. So, not wasting much time, he dashes off home. Arriving at their quiet home, he was confronted by Christine with their constant shaking son. His sickness had kicked in again. The pair quickly drive to the hospital. Luckily, it wasn’t much of a severe case. Yaran, their son, was doing fine. However, the doctor advises parents to protect their children from anything that has a strong, repeating smell. This could trigger his disease. Christine felt worse after hearing what the doctor had to say. She hugs her husband, and with tearful eyes, both decide to play it off for their child’s shake.
