I stood in front of the door, continuously banging on it, I have been in this exact position for a couple of minutes, I need answers, I’m not leaving this house without Khalil. I never thought that Rayan will throw me out of his house. I know he is hiding something from me, if isn’t then he wouldn’t have stopped Abu from talking. I have to get Khalil out of there before they hurt him or do anything to him."Open the door," I yelled as I continued to bang on it."Open it! Where is Khalil? What did you do to him." I asked but still no response.They leave me no choice, If they don’t open the door on the count of three, I will call the cops."I’m gonna count from one to three, tell me where Khalil is or I will call the cops.” I said "One……two……three." I paused and looked at the door"That does it, If you can’t tell me where Khalil is then I have to use the authority." I dialed their number, and it rang for a couple of seconds before it ended, I called them again and on the second ring, i
Warm air rises and cold air rushes in underneath to replace it. My face reddened in anger and frustration, tears streaming down to face. I clenched my fists, still standing in the same position, my heartbeat got increased as my eyes looked down in shock."What did you say?" I whispered, I looked up at him, still crying, hoping for him to tell me that he is wrong "What did you say?" I asked again; my voice sounding low and calm."What did you say Rayan." I held his shirt collar, "Repeat what you said" I yelled He wasn’t able to look me in the eyes, his face showed nothing but pity, and he pitted me. "Where is Khalil Rayan? Where is he? Tell me where he is." I yelled "I’m sorry." He mumbled I shook my head "No, no. You aren’t sorry, you didn’t do anything wrong did you?" I sniffed walking backward "Khalil is fine, I know he is, there isn’t anything wrong with him. He is fine, right Rayan?" I asked as tears streamed down my cheek "Right Rayan" I walked towards me "Tell me Khalil is m
5 years later After everything that has happened, I can’t believe I’m willingly going to that house. It’s been five years but I still haven’t forgotten a single thing that happened, how my feelings got hurt, how my emotions were played. I still remember that night like it was just a few minutes ago. FLASHBACK I braced myself although the whole night, I cried throughout as I was deeply hurt, deeper than a mirror could cut someone. I was told to leave the park because it was already time for it to close. I walked to a hobo corner and sat down, I didn’t care if it was safe or not, all I could think about is Khalil. My eyes had become small and a lot swelled, and my face had a lot of questions that my heart didn’t want to answer. My mind continuously replayed a question, ‘How did Abu know that Khalil isn’t actually a cancer patient’ if I remember clearly I never told him that. I was laid on the floor, tears streaming down and rain beating me. As the rain poured heavily flash of lightni
My alarm ring twice before I woke up and switched the annoying thing off. I really hate mornings especially Monday morning but I have no choice than to wake up. It is only six am, I should probably be sleeping considering I came back home late but I can’t.I moved the blanket aside and rubbed my eyes as I stretched my eyes a loud yawn escaped my mouth. I stood up and stretched my way to the drawer to take out my work clothes which is a black fitted skirt, a white t-shirt with the word Amees Bakery printed in a bold black and I take out my flat shoes. I’m supposed to be wearing a white canvas but didn’t have much money to spare on a single pair of shoes.I grabbed my towel and head to the bathroom. Starting a quick shower and going to brush my teeth and fix my hair.My name is Afraah, I’m fair in complexion, I’m five feet two inches, my lips are thick and pink, I have a pointed nose, brown eyes and I’m quite slim. I live with my stepmother who has three children and my younger brother
I arrived at the bakery shop a bit late, I can’t afford a car nor a taxi ride right now so I had no choice but to walk my way to the bakery even though it’s no way near my house."Good morning" I smile at Nadia who didn’t look like she was happy a good morning. "You are late young lady," Nadia said Nadia is the person in charge of bakery store. She makes sure everyone comes on time and everything is arranged before the store opens.She is dark in complexion, she isn’t tall maybe at about five feet one inches if not less. She is fat, her eyes are brown, she has a round-shaped nose and her lips are thick and brown. "I’m so sorry, I can ex….""Less talking more working" She instantly interrupted "Yes ma’am" I said before I entered the backdoor. "Hi Afraah" Amal smiled as she walked closer to meAmal is my best friend or should I say she’s only friend. She is fair in complexion, she is the same height as me, she has a pointed nose, small heart-shaped lips and she’s a bit chubby."Hi

I woke up to the ring of my irritating alarm, I reached for my phone and instantly turned it off, I let out a yawn, turning around I fall to the ground."Did you forgot you were sleeping on the couch?" Khalil chuckled Khalil has always been a jolly person, he hardly gets sad or worried about something. "Haha, not funny." I groaned while standing up "How are you feeling?" I asked "Much better.""Okay, I will get you something to eat before I go back home" "Aren’t we going home together?”"No, we’re not, I have to get back home before aunt Sabina starts calling me"“Oh but aren’t you supposed to go to work?" Oh god, I forgot about work, Nadia is gonna kill me for coming late twice in a week. "Oh no, I’m an hour late. Nadia is definitely gonna fire me.""No she won’t, just tell her what happened I’m sure she will understand""You don’t get it, we have a big order today and I’m in charge, it took Nadia almost a week before giving me that opportunity if I let her down she won’t have
As I entered the ward, I saw Khalil watching a cartoon, he glanced at me with a smile on his face."How are you feeling" I said walking closer to him"I’m fine, did you bring my clothes?"What clothes? Why do I keep forgetting things? "I forgot about your clothes." I said "Come on, I know you didn’t forget so just give me." He demanded "I’m serious Khalil, I forgot I’m sorry""I will just manage this clothe I’m wearing despite they are a bit dirty and stained" He rolled his eyes I know he is just saying this to make me feel bad, but is not my fault that I forgot about the clothes. I looked at him and he furrowed his face "Seriously, are we doing this right now." I said "Yes we are.""Come on Khalil, I didn’t mean to forget about it." I pouted "Anyway, when are we leaving?" He asked “Immediately the rain stops.""Okay." He signed I walked towards the window and peeked at it, I don’t think the rain will stop anytime soon. "I will go check if I can find a cab nearby" I said
