The more I think about it, the more I feel that I am missing my cousin, Diana. She came over during her summer vacation and it has been about a few months since she left. And we haven't kept closely in touch because first of all previously in a fit of anger two years ago I blocked and deleted her from my list of contacts and secondly, Internet connection in Egypt is hard to come by.
It is so expensive that families need to share a common network to able to connect to the outside world. According to Nanny, the neighbor who shares the same network with her had apparently moved and now my cousin and her family are on the hunt to find someone to shar a network with.
Basically I miss her because her company was a refreshing change from my sister. Fartz, who always has a snide comment is a total opposite from Diana. And although Diana loves to talk about herself and her celebrity-like status back in Egypt, I didn't really mind. Because during the few weeks of company, it worked both ways. Though I can safely say too much of Diana is not necessarily a good thing.
Like me, she's a night owl. Having two laptops at our home, we were night companions to each other. It was crazy. We're five years apart but you can't tell because Diana looks like she's older than me. I am missing her company because the things I tell her would only bring a scoff to Fartz's lips. She doesn't understand. She'll still young. Still has a lot to learn about life.
I am missing Diana because we played tickle with each other just before turning in for the night. Of course, I do that with my sisters too but I don't know, it just felt different with her.
And you know how I absolutely detest airports. I nearly wept as I hugged her tight. There was a kind of mutual understanding between us that is inexplainable. And though I promised I would see her soon in Egypt I couldn't help but wonder when that time would come where I would step foot into 6th October City again.
