The Acceptance

Fighting Ring

Qasifah Pov:

All I could hear is the thumping of my heartbeat and the chanting sound of the audience resonating across the fighting ring. So far nobody beats me in the ring, my opponent Jacob he is quite muscular with broad-shouldered and have a charming smile. I put my left foot slightly forward with my left arm partly extend and my right arm held close to the body with a glove near my chin.

He started to give some punches which I graceful ducked in and I throw an uppercut punch to his chin which hit him in the mouth left him with a busted lip, “aahh fuckkk” he let out a screeching sound. While I smirk under my mask and said “ small boy get hurt ehh?” to provoke him. Well he gets angry by what I said and he jab me in the lower abdomen which I didn't expect and I fall backwards and hit my head and it's hurt like hell.

The time is about to end and I stand up to attack him in the face with my right arm and give another hard blow at his abdomen and he tumbles and I give him one last roundhouse kick and he collapses to the ground

Everyone was stunned for a minute and started to clap and chant my name “ Royy, royyy ”. Yes, it's my fake name at the illegal fighting ring. I won 15k dollars in the bet, as usual I went to see my agent Jason, he is tall and masculine with brownie skin he is the want who set me up for the fights.

Besides he knows that I'm a girl. “Attaa girl!! You did great as usual at the ring” Jason said. “Well what did you except, learn form the best” I said while winking at him. Jason is like a big brother to me. He help me with all my problems and also help me find the teacher job for me . May Allah bless him with the best.

“ so when is the next match for me” I asked while taking off my gloves.“ very soon Qasifah i will inform you pretty soon the next match ,so you keep clam and rest well. What happen to you, you didn’t look well?”. He said i can see the concern cover all his face . “Well i don’t know Jason, I’m having headache frequently i don’t know why”. I said while pinch my head. “ then you have to see a doctor Qasifah you cant keep up like this it might bad for your health”.Jason said in a stern voice.“ yeah i know will see a doctor soon. I have to go now byeee Jason”. I waved at him and went out from the club and walk home.

It was a chilly night, on the way home back the night feel so calm yet it was filled with burden, the sky fill with melodious nightingales, and yet we fail to set our soul free. I have this burden in me the never fades away. Besides I always wonder how am I going to accept my past.
