The road of travel

The road of travel 

    I came back to Assuit after seven months of absence I was closely to forget views of the road of travel because I didn’t spend that long time in one place without traveling except the four years which we spend it out of Egypt in Japan, since I was child I used to spend period of study in Assuit and the vacation between Cairo and Alexandria and which one of this not as long as seven months.

    In last times we used to travel to Cairo many times since my brother went there to study engineering and in the same time I finished my study of media in Assuit so I don’t have to be there for special times, and also after that my grandmother have cancer that make her don’t able to take care of my brother who stay with her, because all of that reasons we have to spend that long time in Cairo.

    Finally we decide to come back to Assuit after we found a house keeper to stay with my grandmother and take care of her and my brother also, then we traveled by car as usual, even the car make me enjoy by views out of it more than train specially after sundown when it’s become impossible to see anything out of train’s windows, but I miss the traveling by train so much, since my dad bay that car after we came back from Japan in 2004 I didn’t look to the road of travel again by train except one time when I went in girl’s tripe to Alexandria when I was in high school.

     I still remember in my childhood I was so naughty, always I was fighting with my brother to set beside to window in train to enjoy by watching views and farmers on the road of travel, and in the night I was go on all over the car of train which we stay in it and recognize of all passengers and talk with them in several topics without faire or boring, and what was ban me to go out of our car in train to other cars is my fear of moving floor between cars.

   I was afraid to go down from that moving floor and the train kills me under its wheels. Now I came back to Assuit by mixed feelings between missed it and desire of escape from it, that because Assuit is my birth place and I study all my schools in it but also I can’t see any professional future for me in it, I always dream to live in Cairo and get job there in media and journalist.

     Even the road of travel to success in Cairo is so hard but at least there’s the road but here in Assuit there’s no any roads, but also here In Assuit there’s all of my memories, the good of it or the bad, here’s my private place that nobody can take it from me, here’s my best friends who I missed them every time I travel in it, here I have memory in every place and every street.

    In Assuit there are all stories of my childhood and teenager and youth, here I fall in love for the first time and also hurt my heart for the first time, here is everything good and bad in same time, and I’m loyal for my bad memories as I miss my happy memories so that I always miss this city, as I far from it, it pulls me again as dame companion my life and can’t get rid of it or accept it forever and forget my dreams.
