Hell

"Honey, wake up." a soft tender voice told me.

" It's time for you to wake up, dear." It said again.

Who is this? Who could wake me up?

OH! IT'S MOM.

I opened my eyes and saw her sitting on my bed. A soft look on her pretty face.

her long silky hair is in a messy bun, her soft green eyes that always held that look of concern, care, softness looked dull and tired, dark circles around them.

She wore a white t-shirt and blue jeans, seems like she just arrived home.

Oh, how much I missed her? If only she knew what I am going through in her absence.

" Goodmorning, my princess. It's time for you to go to school," she said scooting closer to me, caressing my hair softly.

I have to go to school.

Life is cruel, it's my mom's free day, but I have to go to school.

I smiled at her, loving the soft yet heartwarming touch of hers.

"dear?" she said, 

"Hmm," I replied. " It's been so long since I last saw you." She said, tears dancing in her eyes. 

I exhaled, "Yes, mom. It's been almost a month." I spoke.

If only she knew how bad it was, a month of tears and helpless cries.

A month of sadness and nightmares.

" I am sorry, I was so busy at the hospital." She looked down ashamed to meet my eyes.

" It's okay, remember what my dad always tells you when you say that," I said, smiling at her.

" What matters is the number of lives that you saved," she said, tears streaming down her face.

"Yes, so don't worry about me, Mom," I said, squeezing her hand.

" If it's okay, why do you seem so sad then?" she replied, I closed my eyes holding back my tears.

" I just miss you that's all." I lied.

" I miss you way more, my dear." she grabbed my hand and pulled me into a hug.

OH, GOD!

We started sobbing into each other's arms, a mother and her daughter, both hiding unrevealed secrets.

" Now, you have one hour to get ready. I am driving you to school," she said, pulling back, wiping her tears.

" Mom, can I stay with you today?" I said, hoping she would say yes.

Wishing she would save me from another nightmare.

" Honey, I wish you can. But you have school. I promise I would make time to come home this weekend." I looked down at my hands defeated, knowing she always says that but ends up coming back after another month.

" Now get ready, and come to eat some breakfast, me and Ayman will be waiting for you." I flinched.

Uncle Ayman. The man mom considers as a hero when actually he is a zero.

The man that made my life a living hell.

My mom's husband, My stepfather.

    Did you ever ask yourself these questions?Why does everyone I got close to leave me?Am I the reason behind there departure?Do I have a fatal disease that drive every person away from me?Well, I never wondered such things until this moment.I stood there looking at my one and only childhood friend, Tania, as she jokes and laughs with the most unexpected people, My bullies.I made my way to the school entrance ignoring the stinging feeling in my heart. She got tired of me.Is that a new feeling? No.Did I expect that? absolutely yes.I was always wondering when would she get tired of me and my pathetic excuse of a life. As they all did.Everytime I think I made a friend, they leave and side up with 'them'.Tania, was different.

  • Freedom Again   An angel sent from above

    Everyone was laughing at my weak state, some even recorded.My whole life I covered myself, now everyone saw my hair, saw me in such pathetic state.A coward, a crybaby.My hijab off.My whole life, I was nice to everyone, I helped anyone, never judged nor insulted anyone.Only because my precious god told us to do good to those who did bad to us and never stop at their level, it was the most painful punishment.Yet, all that people did is despise me, judge me, insult me. Why?Is it because I had no one to protect me?, or was it all a test from god?I never let anything get to me, not even when Melissa and her friends, beat me up.Not even when I saw my childhood friend with my enemies.However, this was inacceptable. They took it too far. *She* took it too far.I looked at my reflection i

    "Where the hell did you get that scarf from?" He roared,There we go again."I-I- got this from a friend." I stuttered,I stopped to face him as I was midway through the stairs trying to go to my room without him noticing me, but guess what?Mission escape failed."From a friend? What friend huh? since when do you have friends, you worthless piece of shit?" He shouted making me flinch at his tone.His face and eyes were bloodshot, he was reeking of alcohol and he was angry. I started shaking in fear knowing I was doomed and there is no one to save me from his wrath.He will hit me again for sure.Ya Allah! When would all this stop?"It was from a classmate of mine..... s-since mine g-ot d-d-irty." I said slowly looking down, not daring to meet his furious calculative eyes.He chuckled darkly, his hoarse voice echoing through the whole empty house."It was from a guy, right?" He slurred, his words barely aud

  • Freedom Again   Face the devil part 2

    "Strip,"I froze after hearing what the devil himself said.I didn't know what to or what to say. He smirked, pleased by my weak and vulnerable state. I hugged myself tighter, afraid.How to escape? What kind of sick joke is this?I raised my shaking eyes, daring for the first time to meet his fixing gaze. He stood there in all his glory, waiting for me to submit to his sinful demand. A tear slipped down my face, looking at the door, hoping, praying someone would come and save me from this shameless man in front of me."Don't you dare run, trust me, you will only make it worse for you," And I cried, fat tears started streaming down my pale face like a flowing river, not daring to stop.I knew too well what he was talking about; he was trying to steal away the innocence and pureness I was trying my entire life to protect. He wanted to discard me like a flower and leave me unwanted and dirty.I run to the door, trying to open it.

    "Is it true?"She said, venom dripping from each word she mouthed.She looked at me her always sweet soft eyes that made me feel home and made me fight anything in order to see them always sparkling are now distant. She believed him the only liar in this room.Nothing can describe the panic and shock I was experiencing. This can't be happening.She was my mother; she was the only person I have; she is my only family. I can't stand losing her too.I shook my head, silent tears flowing down my face, not believing every bit that my own mother, the one that brought me to this cruel world, her own flesh and blood would think that low of me."Trust me, honey, she is lying, can't you see how reasonable is this, she must be too lonely, she doesn't even have friends," I stayed silent, "don't believe her tears, it's because I turned her down," Oh Ya Allah.I froze in my place waiting for my mother's reaction and then it hit me.Of

    AYLAN:I looked outside my car's window, watching as people, cars, and trees pass before my eyes, The sun was setting taking my breath as its sun rays reflected on the green trees. It was so beautiful. I smiled, opening the window; I exhaled, closing my eyes lightly as the fresh air hit my face, the amazing scent hitting my nostrils. How beautiful nature is? How beautiful my home is?I can't help but think about how time flows fast, how life changes without us noticing, it feels just like yesterday when I had nothing to eat, no shelter and now look where I am. Happy, safe, and sound, with a lovely small family waiting for me home. I get what I want and even what I don't want, this is the secret of life, it turns and turns until we find ourselves in a whole new situation and state.My phone buzzed in my pocket with the Id "Mama" calling, I smiled answering the call."Hello, mo

    "What do you mean I should go today?" I shouted at the guy in the other line."I am sorry, sir. It's for the sake of our organization.""You know it's my mother's birthday, how can I leave her?" I took a deep breath, calming myself down. It wasn't his fault. He is just my assistant, after all."Okay, call them back, and tell them I am coming. You can take the rest of the days off, Sarah will come with me." I told him, calmly. It was indeed a good thing. However, today is her birthday."What happened, sir?" Said Sarah, from beside me in the car.Sarah was my personal assistant, she is like a little sister to me. We prepared a whole surprise party for my mother.

  • Freedom Again   I have no choice but to follow

    He caught me off guard as he slung me on his back, effortlessly, like I was lighter than a feather. He let out some chuckles as I squirmed and never let him have his way. People watched, confusion, curiosity, and even disgust written on their faces. They wondered why would such a fine man carry a homeless girl like me. Me either. I felt my heart beat so fast; I was scared and also curious why he is doing this? However, I had no choice but to follow. What if he wasn't bad and is just trying to help? People still stared, they watched and saw how I slept in that dirty corner, all dirty with dust and mud; they witnessed how I ate those sandwiches I afforded to buy, like I never ate food my whole life, a week of suffering, agony, and pain. Guilt and dilemma were eating me. Did I do the right choice? Life turns and turns until we find ourselves in different situations, different places with different people, that's among life's secrets. It's too fake and
