I sit on the bench looking upward in the sky there were so many stars twinkling today. I couldn't control my tears recalling everything from past month Ive this pressure on me on my heart from month. The anticipation of what will happen to me if I married him. He'll kill me. The way he manhandled me so badly, that scared me to the core.his eyes, they showcase the Strom brewing inside them.
"Allah please I don't want to marry him please Allah don't let them force me. Please Allah take this pain away from me." I pleaded to my Allah he the only one who I can share my problems with...."why ? ... Why they don't love me why I've a mother like her Allah why you gave me a father like him??? " I sobbed while rubbing my chest
"Im hurting please it hurts here" pointing at my heart!
" Fatima " I looked behind me wiping my tears hastily and stood up ..
" Hm-mm-m " I replied.
She walked towards me wiped my tears which were not stopping.
"Please don't cry you'll get through it Fatima, you're strong I know you'll okay? " Sana said.
I embraced her my tears wetting her shoulder.
She rubbed my back soothingly.
"Now come lets go inside yeah before Chachi and her flying sandal come outside !" Sana said while grinning. She called mama telling her that she found me. I looked at her confused. She explained that she was looking for me she got scared that I did something stupid. Even I think of doing that I can't go through those gates.
"Yeah let's go" I replied ....she held my hand swinging it back and forth!

"And I'll make sure of that, now go everyone is waiting for you " her mother said.
