Raisa had never been much for musical instruments. Her father was fond of the oud, and Raisa had attempted to string some chords from it a few times when he hadn't been home. After all, it was his, it was expensive, and children were a grubby bunch, Raisa and her siblings included. Soraya wasn't bad at the flute, but none of the Shehzad children had inherited their father's love of music. Appreciation, perhaps, desire to learn anything past a few notes, absolutely not. It had only been the thrill of disobeying her parents that had brought younger Raisa to plucking at the strings.
It was far less exciting than she'd thought try would be, and Raisa had then decided it wasn't worth it, that she'd never play again. But being in such an alien country, such an alien place--
Raisa was no stranger to moving about. She was born in Iran and had a few fleeting dreamy memories, grew up in Egypt, then went to school in Uganda. She'd spent the next five years in Iraq, and then moved back to the country that felt like near a fairy-tale memory. This was the fifth country she'd lived in in her twenty-five years, the most foreign to her. At least in Uagadou, there were a few other Egyptian girls, and a few kids of Iranian diplomats. Here, there was. . .
She squinted, as if that would improve her vision, trying to find something similar to the instruments that he cluttered the house with. Not that she knew everything, of course, not, and there were several Western instruments she knew were common, but. . . well, shit. Maybe she really should have paid attention to her dad more when he talked about his favorites instead of just passing notes to her sisters.
