We were a very proud lebanese family who lived in San Diego, California, I lived together with my dad, my mother and my sister, my sister was just some years older than me, she was 22 years old. My mother was 43 years old and my dad was 22 years older than her. Father looked old, but my mother looked very good looking and young to be in her 40s. She was not just a good looking woman, she also had a great shape and a very good body, she worked a lot to keep an athletic and nice body. Mom is 5 ft 9 and without exaggeration, my mother looks very, very good.
It basically goes back to early january of 2015, I had my 18th birthday last week and I now had only 4 months left of my senior year and then I am graduating. I came home from school and saw mom sitting on the couch and having a loud conversation with dad, it was about her job. She worked as a fashion designer in a clothing company and she loved her job, she had been working for this company since 2001.
I joined them in the living room and I asked, "What happened, why do you talk so loud and look angry?" Dad then explained to me that mom had received an email from the company's board reading where they had made an order where about half of the female employees at the company would have to go down to the company's other building and workplace in Montgomery Alabama and work there for a couple of months, until to the first june. And then return back home to their workplace here. Mom was apparently one of the employees who needed to go down there and work there from January to June.
Dad wanted her to quit the job after this order, but mom refused and she was determined to continue the job, she said she loved this job and couldn't quit it. Almost everyone of the other female employees who were picked to go to Alabama, quit the job. Some of them couldn't leave their families, others couldn't afford a house or hotel to stay in during such a long period of time. We also couldn't afford a hotel of anything else for mom to stay in.
A few days later we were visited by Janine, an American woman who is my mother's best friend, she also works in the company. She was not among the women who were called to go down to Alabama, but she informed mom and us that she had found a solution to the problem. Janine had talked to her son's friend who had an apartment there in Alabama, the apartment were also located very close to the building that Mom would work in. The guy's name was Aaron, he was one year older than me and he had agreed to give my mom a room in his apartment during this 4 months she would spend there.
However, it was a problem, my mom would have to sleep in the same apartment with a stranger, with someone she wasn't related to or had any connections to, that made it very hard to accept Janine's proposal.
Dad said, "No, no that's impossible, I can't accept that."
Mom answered immediately, "Do you have any better idea? This is our only and best chance!"
Although mom seemed to really want and accept the proposal, she didn't really want it, but she had to, so that she didn't lose her job, her passion. She explained this to me after taking me aside and telling me. After a long conversation and arguments with the whole family along with Janine, dad finally accepted, he asked if he could follow with mom and also live there, but Janine said that the apartment were very small and that Aaron can't have more than one person there.
After days of preparation, it was time for mom to fly down to Alabama, we said goodbye to her at the airport, it was really emotional for me and my sister, but especially my dad, he had never been separated from mom for more than one day since they married in 92. Janine took also farewell and wished mom good luck, mom hugged her and thanked her for the help. Mom then took the flight and flew down to Alabama, during the flight she thought of the family and started to cry.
After about 6 hours mom arrived in Alabama, there in the airport Aaron was waiting, he then approached mom and asked, "You must be Samira?"
Mom replied, "Yes I am, how did you know me?" with a hesitant and nervous voice.
Aaron said, "Well... I had a picture of you sent from Janine, so that I would know you when arriving".
After they were done talking they took an Uber to the apartment. Mom wasn't impressed with Aaron, he looked like bad news. Janine had told my mom that Aaron was a polite, humble and respectable young man who was really nice, but mom didn't see any of it after the first meeting with Aaron. He was a fairly tall American guy, who had piercings on his eyebrows, nose and lips, he had worn clothes on and his entire upper body was tattooed, there was tattoos of satanic figures and symbols. Mom thought he looked scary, but she didn't care, she was here to work.
