what you had to give up in order to get it ..

This afternoon my cellphone was ringing ...

"Hello, may I speak to Mrs. Yusuf "
"Yes, speaking .."
"Hi Mrs. Yusuf, I'm S from the Swiss Embassy. I'd like to inform you that your visa is ready to collect tomorrow morning" ...
"Okay, thank you, do I have to collect my self?"
"You can also ask someone or your husband to collect"
"My husband is still in Jakarta, what should I bring tomorrow?"
"Only your ID and/or the visa collection receipt"
"I think my husband got the receipt, can I come with just my ID"
"Yes, ma'am .. you can"

Phheeewww .... okay, the waiting game is over. We have sacrificed our time, our energy, money and emotions for this, so tomorrow morning I better go and collect it.
