Parting

...Also you gotta have strong will and desire to work. Work very hard, from early morning till late at night, anywhere from 12 to 16 hours. You gotta sweat actually! Are you still interested in it?"
            "Sure! That's a piece of cake for us, bro', you know, right!"
            "Yeah, kinda …"
            "Just tell me one more thing," said Alex.
            "Go ahead."
            "Were you serious 'bout the girls 'n money all the time?
            "I promise."
"Yeah, cool! Let's go!"
            But Harut and Alex, as bad as they were, weren't selfish. They decided to share this opportunity with their friends and relatives, with friends of their friends and relatives who also wanted to get involved in this whole affair!
            So gathered Hakob, Nelly, Ani, Gurgen, Ashot, Samvel, Anna, Levon & Tamara and Arman.

A few months later…
It seemed like it was yesterday when Alex and Harut were planning their trip. And the day came when it was already the departure day.
All the guys had packed their suitcases and were getting ready to leave for the airport.
"Harut, Alex, please take this bag, too," said Alex's mother.
"What's in there, ma?"
"Some bastourma, cheese, lavash and cucumbers."
"Jeez, what am I going to do with this huge bag? I'm gonna have to1 throw it away before entering the United States anyway."
