I met with Junior again today .. he brought out all the insurance papers .. we filled out the forms that have the accident details .. i ve never filled that form before .. they have car drawings where we mark where the damage is and thats it ! ...
Mummee is no longer in the picture and junior seems to be less stressed and more relaxed about the whole thing .. he had been to the insurance company and they had "agreed" to get my car fixed... hamdulillah .. now I have to go around and chase up and actually get the thing done... apparantly Mummee is till sick ... miskeena .. aish thanb el umahat ... I tried to ask junior how they got Mahbub's ID and license Copy.. and he told me .. but i didnt understand what he was talking about .. i also found out that Junior's has a Kumar in it somewhere ... again there was no sign of Uncle today..
I got a call from the insurance company later on ... and they said i have to go there and get the process going .. the have received all the documents and have opened a file (fata7na el mallaf)
And so ... another adventure begins .. without Junior, Mummee or Uncle .. my new adventure is with the New India Insurance Company .. tomorrow.. or after tomorrow ..

Today, I am Bahraini (Ba7raynunaaa)

Its funny how during the gulfcup we were never 5aleeji .. especially this last one .. there was this very strong feeling of nationalism and you could see that some nations were closer to others than others .. the whole "ana el5aleeji" spirit was far from present at any given point ... Today, we find our selves rallying behind one of the teams that had almost no presence at the last gulfcup .. today, i can proudly say that i am (half) bahraini (especially if they make to the world cup) .. GO BAHRAIN !
on a separate note, i spoke to Junior today, i can feel that the whole thing is really cooling down now. There does not seem to be any pressure on Junior anymore from any place that makes him want to solve this issue. Its really disappointing, honestly. He said that he has been at the police station all day trying to get the paper work done and then move on to the insurance company. i can just see him starting to ignore my calls... aish thanb el a6fal ..
