It all started in summer 2012 in L.A, California.
So we are one of those saudi families that spend the whole summer vacation there, in the US. We've been going there since as long as I can remember!
One night we were walking around spectrum with nothing to do my 2 sisters were fooling around and singing out loud it was late at night, 11 maybe?
I was so into my phone, I didn't pay much attention to them faj2a ma asm3 a9wat ela w hom m5tfen! I looked around the hall I was walking in it was e m p t y eli y5awwf! So I tried calling them, both wouldn't answer.
Mashet 7ali w ga3dt amshi lma I reached the cinema, you know saudies they were everywhere!! I tried looking for my sisters and I finally found one, Anoud was talking to my brother Fahad I walked w nafsyti zg
Me: mara thanya t36oni 5abar enkom bt5tfoon!!!
Anoud: asfen 3amti!
Me: ween najla?
Anoud: ra7t m3 9a7bat'ha
