3 Days Later...
"So you're going to meet Madinah today?"
"Yes..." His eyes immediately turns to me, looking kind of teary. "I can't help but to feel nervous."
"Huh-huh... My twin brother is in love." I joked.
He replied with a silly look.
"So, have you called her yet?"
"No, just email."
"So how would you two meet? I mean how would you understand each other?..."
"Don't worry, Zay. I'll call her when she gets here."
I couldn't help but to smile... Since our parents passed away, it's been so difficult to see so much joy and happiness in Zayd's smile. He looks so cute with it. I stared at him lovingly. He seemed so happy.
"You seem so happy, bro?"
"Yes, of course... I'm so happy, I'll finally meet the love of my life today. It also seems she has friends in Nigeria."

It was a cool afternoon. One of those days that early afternoons would grow enough to look like late evenings -The time when one could mistake Thursday to be a Saturday...Madinah and Zayd decided to go for a simple stroll outside the hotel, under the warm sun, side by side, the way lovers usually do.
