Chapter 32 First Video
Zaid and Khamis were busy setting up for Zaid’s first vlog video. Tripods were being adjusted, and Khamis was fiddling with a microphone, telling Zaid to speak up for a sound check.Suddenly, Zaid’s phone buzzed loudly on the desk. He picked it up, his eyes scanning a new message on the screen. It was from the system.[New Quest: Viral Launch][ Objective: Get over 50,000 views on your first video. ][Reward: 150 Dinars.]A huge, determined grin spread across Zaid’s face. He shot up from his chair, nearly knocking over a lamp.“YES! Today is the day!” he shouted, pumping his fist in the air. “We are going to break the internet! I’m going to pull myself together and make this the best video ever!”Khamis flinched at the sudden noise, clutching his chest dramatically. “Will you keep your voice down!” he hissed. “You’ve been jumping around and startling me since the day I met you! My heart can’t take it!”But he couldn’t help but smile a little at Zaid’s sudden burst of energy. ___The
Chapter 31 The Start Of The Journey
A few days later, Zaid was already giving up on weightlifting. His arms still ached from his session with Hossam, and the whole thing just felt too hard. Instead, he found himself focusing more on his laptop, learning about cameras and editing from Khamis.They were sitting in Khamis's room, and Zaid was complaining. "I've been trying to get bigger, you know? Gain some weight and get stronger. But it's impossible."Khamis stopped scrolling on his phone and looked up, a lightbulb practically appearing over his head. "Wait, that's it!" he said, pointing a finger at Zaid. "That's your channel. Your whole thing."Zaid looked confused. "What is?""Your journey!" Khamis explained, getting excited. "We'll film the whole thing. You show yourself trying to lift, failing, all of it. People love that stuff. Show your progress in every video. Make it funny. And you can read books about healthy food, make videos about easy health tricks, how to make cheap, good meals... it's perfect!"Zaid made a
Chapter 30 Shattered Self Esteem
The dorm room was quiet, save for the low hum of Zaid’s laptop. He was hunched over it, scrolling through pages of weightlifting equipment, lifting belts, weightlifting shoes, gloves, he was trying to figure out the cheapest way to start his new ‘quest’. The price of 500 dinars was motivating, but the initial cost to get started was a problem.The door creaked open and Bassam walked in, his shoulders slumped. He tossed his bag onto his desk with a heavy thud, the sound making Zaid look up.“That’s it,” Bassam announced, his voice flat and tired. “Last time I go home for the weekend. The only way I’m going back is if my uncle comes here and drags me home himself.”Zaid minimized the browser window. “Whoa, what happened?” he asked, turning in his chair to face his roommate.“Nothing. It's just... I don’t know,” Bassam muttered, not making eye contact. He started unpacking his bag with rough, jerky movements. “I’m just sick of it. I’m sick of being the charity case, the kid nobody reall
Chapter 29 Family Time And Bodybuilding
The sun was warm on their skin as they reached the beach. The water sparkled, inviting them in.“Race you to the water, old lady!” Zaid called out to his mother with a playful grin, already starting to jog.“Old lady? We’ll see about that!” his mother shot back, gathering the folds of her long dress.Zaid started off at a light run, purposely holding back to let his mom feel like she had a chance. He glanced over his shoulder, expecting to see her lagging far behind. Instead, he got the shock of his life. His mother was sprinting, her sandals kicking up sand, a look of fierce determination on her face. She blew right past him, her laughter ringing in the air.She hit the edge of the water a full second before he did, splashing into the shallows and immediately whipping around to splash a wave of cool water directly at him.“I win!” she declared, triumphant and barely out of breath.Zaid stood there, dripping and utterly stunned. “Since when can you run like that?!”“Don't underestimat
Chapter 28, Grandma Arrives.
Khamis pulled up to the curb in front of Zaid’s house and gave a quick, friendly wave. “Think about what I said, yeah? I’ll call you.”“I will. Thanks for the ride… and the food,” Zaid replied, getting out. He watched the car drive off before turning to the quiet house.He let himself in as quietly as he could, expecting to find his mother already busy in the kitchen. But the house was silent. A small frown creased his brow. His mother was always an early riser. Then, he heard it—the soft, melodic murmur of someone reciting Quran. It was coming from his room.Pushing the door open slowly, his heart swelled at the sight that greeted him. There, sitting in his chair by the window, was his grandmother, her reading glasses perched on her nose as she held a mus-haf.“Teta!” he breathed, his voice full of wonder.As soon as she saw him, her face lit up with a radiant smile. She began to stand, a little slowly, to greet him. But Zaid quickly rushed over to her, bending down to gently kiss he
Chapter 27, New Channel Ideas.
The first thing Zaid saw when he opened his eyes was Khamis’s face, he was up way too early for a Saturday morning, and he was at Zaid's door.“Dude, Who visits this early on a Saturday?” Zaid groaned, pulling his blanket over his head. “It’s the weekend. Don’t you need to rest too?”But Khamis was already planted in his bedroom doorway, insisting they needed to talk. “It’ll be quick, I swear! Five minutes!”“Later,” Zaid said, his voice muffled by the pillow. “It’s my day off. I'm only going to get up to change clothes and go see my mom. And that does not involve you.”Khamis, didn’t know the meaning of the word ‘no’. He just pushed his way in. From the top bunk, a grumpy voice growled, “Some of us are trying to sleep. Shut Up! ”Zaid shot Khamis a triumphant look. “See? You’ve awakened him. Bassam wants to sleep, and you’re being super annoying, Please leave.”Khamis just grinned. “Okay, okay. New plan. You come with me. I’ll take you to this awesome place for breakfast, my treat. T
