new life

They got out of the car in front of the huge house....

Lara is surprised: Is this your house? It is a palace…..ah..yes. It is a palace that has just emerged from these fairy tales…..it is true. Why not here is a palace? During the past week, I never felt that I was actually a fairy tale, yes...a story fictional...

This dialogue took place in her mind, to turn to her mother, who held her arm and moved beside her inside, and that Adham who put his hand in his pocket and preceded them by several steps while looking at the stairs...

Lara in her mind: This arrogant arrogant.... am I his enemy? Why should this be my brother? He looks like a bossy person... if he existed in my world, he would be the same character.... It's okay, okay, Lara. You will get to know them and they will get to know you a little bit. a little ...

Lara enters the house and sees a good number of house workers who were looking at each other and whispering among themselves....

Her mother ordered one of the housekeepers to take Lara to prepare her so that she could meet the family and eat with them...

Lara follows her to a spacious room with a wonderful view..... It also has all the basic and recreational facilities...

Lara: It's a spacious room....a room, no, not a room, it's a whole apartment....

Lara washed her face and tried to clear her mind to realize what was going on around her...

She wore luxurious clothes that seemed to be from an expensive brand...

Then Lara went to the living room, which the housekeeper had directed her to.... She entered the room to find a large number of people who looked at her , their eyes amazed and very distressed at seeing her...

The mother asked her to come closer to start introducing her to the family

He was sitting on the big chair, the father, whose eyes were sad and painful, and his eyes did not leave this question, who are you?... You are not my little Jane...

The mother said: This is your father and Adham is the second brother. You know him and this is your little uncle Raafat....and these are the twins Salem and Salim..... and I will introduce you to your older brother upon his return....

The mother asked to prepare the food, and they all sat down at the table . Eat ..

Sit down baby....come on...I asked them to make your favorite food....it's very tasty..eat baby...

The mother was patting her hair and looking at her with a tender look...

Lara replied, "Okay, she started eating."

Well mom... tell me mom...

Yeah... well mom...

Everyone resumed eating their food and there was complete silence....

The mother tried to break this silence by talking about many issues... so I spoke with Adham about his studies, especially that he is in his last year at the Faculty of Engineering....

I talked with the twins about their misery and that everyone, especially the teachers, complained about them in middle school.

Until Raafat, who with her eldest son ran the family business...

She also tried to talk to her husband, who completely repulsed her in speaking and expressed his inconvenience about what was going on around him in general...

The mother sighed a little and tried to return to Lara to attract her also to the parties to talk...

And you too, dear Jane, don't worry I spoke to the school yesterday and told her you'll be back next week so don't worry about it...

Lara: School. ...! Oh really ....!

This is new....what do I do in school...?

Mom: Smiling....ah Jin, you're so funny...a seventeen-year-old girl. What are you going to do at school? She's definitely a student...mother's laugh rises a little.

Lara was silent for a while and opened her mouth a little... and frowned at what?.....!

the mom:

Seventeen, Jane.

Lara: Seventeen...?!

Lara rushes towards a woman in the house to reflect on herself, looking surprised and terrified ....

Lara in her mind: My skin is clearer and a little younger... Some of the scars are gone... Did the gate take me back to seventeen too, Impossible, Impossible...

I will never go back to school again..

Lara to her mother: Am I really seventeen..... I go to school.

The mother looks at her to confirm what she said again...

Let Adham resume talking. You are seventeen . As soon as you enter the gate and move to a new world, your body and mind begin to adapt until they are as old as you are in this world.... and you are here at seventeen.

Lara is surprised and looks again at the woman to reflect on herself, and she began to hold her hair and feel her skin to tell herself, This is impossible, it is a nightmare.... I turned thirty-three five months ago....
