The farewell

      It started when he decided to go study abroad in the United States of America. Max has a beautiful wife called Natasha. They were from Saudi Arabia – the eastern region – Qatif city, where everybody there is friendly,happy, and helpful people. Qatif is one of the most important cities in Saudi Arabia, because it’s being counted as one of the biggest oil resources  in Saudi Arabia.  Max has a big family surround him. They support and inspire him. After he had graduated from the college of technology, he started working in a steel company as steel maker. He is an ambition person; as a result, he decided to get more education to get a higher position in his career. His father encouraged him all the time. When Max talked to his father about going faraway to study, his father directly gave him the ‘green sign.’ Max started applying for his visa, and getting ready for his long journey; however, the problem started when his wife and he realized that they will not be together. He started telling her that everything is ok, it’s not a big deal to be so sad. Natasha showed that she had no problem, but she was so sad in the inside. He wanted to make it up to her, so they went to Dubai, Bahrain, and Kuwait. Max was so afraid of going far away, leaving his love, friends, and also he his family.

Count started going down, it was the time to leave. His family and his wife decided to go with him to say goodbye. They got inside the car, but Natasha and his mother were looking unhappy. Max saw their tears on their faces. He thought it was just the tears of farewell, so it would not be longer. They got to the airport, but they got there so early. He wanted to spend more time with his family instead of waiting to get on the plane alone. They found a great place to sit in. His mother was hiding her grief, but Natasha was not. They were setting close to each other; in addition, exchanging words. Max was trying to make her calm down, so he decided to talk about the greatest memories they had ,such as their engagement party and many funny things that happened in that period of time. They were remembering the old days, things that made them laugh. Suddenly Max`s flight was delayed for an hour. Natasha was so happy, because she could spend more time with her soul mate.   They decided to walk around, to waste time while they are walking and talking. The call for his trip, as soon as they heard the call, they started looking into each other`s eyes. It was the time to leave. They went back to their family to say bye. Every thing was cool till Max got in front of his mother. With no sight, the mother was holding her son`s hands, kissing his tiny cheeks, and advising him. It would be a long and far destination. Max started feeling something trying to prevent him of going away, but he didn’t know what going to happen next. When he looked at Natasha, she was already crying. He took her from her hands, and tried to remove her tears. He embraced her twice, but she couldn’t stop crying. At that moment, Max felt that he was about to cancel his trip, because he couldn’t  leave her alone. They made a kind of discussion to make a decision about leaving the country, or staying together. Natasha said to him ‘I want you to go, because it’s your goal getting more education to get succeed.’ She also said’ honey, do not care about anything, just go.’ She also said’ you are in my heart all the time. ‘Max said’ I will not forget you. I will try to bring you as soon as I can.’  It was the last call for the trip. Max had to go; he grabbed his hand from her hand with a sad expressions. He looked at her eye and he said ‘I can’t say good bye, because I will see you soon.’  He left her with a farewell moment. Max arrived to the USA.After two days, he went directly to the ISO’ International Students Office’ to get all the stuff that he needed to bring Natasha. He got all the documents, and then he went to the nearest FedEx branch to send them to his lovely Natasha. She has received them, and she applied for her visa. Right now, the couple is waiting for the moment of their meeting.
