Romania
My name is Zahra my mother is Gia Vaslie, I have lived in Craiova, Southern Romania all my life. I never knew my father. My mother and he had a summer fling back when they were young, they met in Bilbor, north Romania when she was travelling and fell in love. But mum had to go home back to work and after that summer they never spoke. That is all I know about him up to now.
"Muuuuum, just tell me" the sound that escaped my mouth every birthday for the last 11 years and I was expecting the same this year "no you are still to young Zahra, you will not understand the heart break and sacrifices I went through..." yadayadayaada. But instead no this year she sat down on the end of the sofa and said;
"You are now old enough what would you like to know?"
Dumbstruck I couldn't think of any questions "uhhhumuh?" was all that escaped my lips.
"I guess you just don't want to know then" she said starting to get up
"No wait" I said dragging her back down "Tell me everything?" It came out as a question as I was not sure how much she would tell me.
"His name is Charlie, Charlie Weasley. He was from England. He had long red hair and bright blue eyes. He was working in Bilbor. You look very much like your father you know Zahra you remind me of him every day"
I had always wondered where I get my looks from my mother has curly black glossy hair and big brown almond shaped eyes where as I have big shiny blue eyes and straight red hair that mum always said shimmers like the sun.
"He told me Romania fascinated him" she continued "He told me he had five brothers and a sister back in England."
"Wait" I said interrupting her mid flow "Why are you telling me this now?"
"Well" she said "This came in the mail I knew it was time to tell you about your father"
She held up a letter which read,
Zahra Molly Vaslie
12 John Street,
Craiova,
Romania
Eagerly I opened the letter which read
