don't panic!!
So, things going according to plan- meeting all the people I want in London before I head back to Bham. Oopsie- forgot to tell Khulu that I’m going to be late so I ring her from Reena’s house at lunchtime to let her know. She thought I was Eco…I so don’t have that sweet innocent voice that Eco has!! After work I go to Reenas’, where her mum made the most amazing noodles for dinner. We then went to see her Masi (youngest aunt on her mum’s side) who has a one year old baby. He had the most amazing eye lashes in the world!! Then Reena decided to drop me off home- it was only around 9.30 but I guess I didn’t tell Khulu the exact time so they didn’t know what time to expect me.
Hey?...where’s the key gone?!! It’s usually there…okay, don’t panic! just knock and ring the bell like normal people. Okay, no answer. Ring the house phone…USER BUSY. Don’t panic. Keep ringing door bell. The lights in the living room and bedroom are on…can hear the tv. Keep ringing phone…USER BUSY. Ring bell…no answer. Think, think, think. Ah-hah, text Eco to get brother’s number. Oh, that’ll worry Eco for no reason but no other option!! In the meanwhile (after 15mins have gone by already) I’ll ring the police. Anything could have happened. *ahh! Stupid cat…OMG, that’s that woman’s cat…Eeek!! Definitely ringing the police now!*. After one min of being on hold by the police I explained what had happened- hope they could hear me through all that crying! They were on their way. In the meanwhile Eco texted back- rang Faiz. What was so funny?!! He found it amusing that I was locked outside and that Khulu or Eco’s dad couldn’t hear me…Reena and Fatima both ring me- can’t answer- too scared and emotional at the minute!! The door opens and Khulu is standing there. I hug her in relief. Try and explain to her in Urdu what had just happened. Eco’s parents were just sitting there in the living room while I was outside for a whole half hour worrying myself over what had happened to them.
The phone was busy as Khulu was on the phone. The key was removed because that day they decided to bring back in. The TV was too loud for them to hear me. That was the explanation. I’ve never been so scared in my life!! The operator on the other end must have thought I was stupid for crying over something like this- especially when I had to call back and cancel the police from coming. Eco’s brother must think I’m silly too- thank God I didn’t cry to him down the phone. Man- I need to get a grip!! Have become an emotional wreck- keep crying at the smallest of things. Cure: home for at least a few months. That’ll sort me out…stiffen me up!! I really did feel as though my heart was in my stomach and both about to explode! Think this is what it must feel like when parents lose children in the fairground/ shopping centre/airport… er, whatever. think i need to be alone for a while. All this caring smaring is doing nothing for my cold-heartedbitch image.
My other options were
1. to go to the neighbours house and let them know what was going on- so which Yahoodi house would I have picked?!!
2. to go to Hendon Mosque and find that brother (married with kids so don’t worry) who I work with and kinds knows Eco’s dad- dunno what he would have done?!!
3. call Mamu- he apparently doesn’t have the house keys
Thank God I didn’t carrying out any of them…would have worried a lot more people. Anyway, alhamdullilah everyone is fine- shall go straight home after work today!! Meeting Eco’s friends tmrw- Zara’s retake tmrw too, so after that we’ll hook up. Eco’s back today- will ring her tmrw too!! :D
