Chapter 2: The First Journey
After weeks of preparation, Lubna and Khalil are finally ready to begin their journey. They wear comfortable travel clothes and carry some essential items such as food, drinks, and sleeping gear.
That morning, they set out from Cordoba and headed east. Their journey went smoothly at first, but a few days later they were faced with some problems. One of them is when they run out of food and drink in the middle of a barren desert.
Lubna and Khalil continued walking for several days without enough food and drink. They feel weak and demoralized, but they keep trying to survive and find a way to get out of the situation.
One night, they met a traveler who was traveling in the same direction. The traveler provided them with enough food and drink for the next few days. Lubna and Khalil were very grateful and moved by the kindness of the traveler.
Their journey continued smoothly after that. They learn about the cultures and customs of the people they meet along the way, as well as discover many new and exciting things on their journey.
A few weeks later, they arrived in the Persian city of Isfahan. The city is famous for its architectural beauty, and they are excited to explore and learn more about Persian culture.
Lubna and Khalil learned from famous scholars in the city, and they also visited some famous historical places. They observed and studied beautiful architecture and art, and found some rare and hard-to-get books elsewhere.
At the end of their journey, Lubna and Khalil were delighted and satisfied with what they learned during the trip. They return to Cordoba with new knowledge and valuable experience, and promise to continue exploring the world and learning more about science.
Lubna and Khalil continued to advance east, following the fading sun on the western horizon. They walk carefully, avoiding paths that are considered dangerous, experiencing many obstacles and challenges along their journey. However, Lubna and Khalil remain upbeat and optimistic, hoping to achieve their goals safely.
Their journey to Isfahan was exhausting. They must pass through vast, dry deserts, across deep, dangerous valleys, and cross swift-flowing rivers. They also have to endure very hot weather during the day and sharp cold at night. However, they never gave up, continued to walk non-stop.
However, their excitement did not last long. As they entered the small town near the oasis, they were greeted by a group of bandits ready to loot and kill them. Lubna and Khalil attempt to fight back, but they are both wounded and lost the fight. They finally manage to escape safely after one of the bandits takes Lubna's heart and decides to help them escape.
After the incident, their journey became more cautious. They walk at night and rest during the day. They also seek alternative routes and avoid dangerous ones. After a few days, they finally arrived at the city of Isfahan, a very beautiful city and rich in art and culture.
Lubna and Khalil were very impressed by the beauty of the city. They visited many historical places, such as the Imam Mosque and Ali Qapu Palace. They also found many new friends and enjoyed the delicious food of the city. However, they still miss their hometown in Cordoba, and plan to return home soon after finishing their business in the city of Isfahan.
On their way home, Lubna and Khalil discover some very valuable historical artifacts. They also met some people who were very helpful to them on their way back to Cordoba. After several weeks of travel, they finally arrived in Cordoba safely, satisfied with their adventurous and challenging journey.
From the journey, Lubna and Khalil can learn many things about life and about themselves. They realize that although life is not always easy and full of obstacles, but if they remain excited and optimistic, then they can overcome all these things. They also learn about the beauty and diversity of the vast world, as well as about the importance of establishing good relationships with others.
Back in Cordoba, Lubna and Khalil are greeted by their family who are very happy to see them safely home. They give gifts that they get during the trip, and tell stories about their adventures with passion.
However, although they are very happy to be back home, Lubna and Khalil feel that they have changed after their trip. They feel more mature and wiser, and more appreciative of life and togetherness with their loved ones.
Within a few months of returning, Lubna and Khalil continued to work hard and develop their skills in art and music. They also help others in need, as well as provide inspiration and encouragement for others to live a better life.
Finally, they held a big concert in Cordoba, demonstrating their skills to many people. The concert was very successful and became a testament to their success in achieving their goals. They feel very proud of themselves and are grateful for all the things they have done during their journey.
