who is zahir ?

imagine that esta mañana you wake up because of some loud bangs on your door while you hear "open the door! we are police". would you open ? what would you do ? you stand up from your bed and start running to the back door of your house where you have your motorcycle. you open the door but there are the police officers waiting. in this moment you realize you lost. was it really worth killing your husband ? first you thought it was because you didn't love him. you must be with him because of family tradition. they didn't ask you if you love him or not. you had to. but it wasn't worth it for years in jail. or maybe yes ?

they caught me. put me in the police car and we went right to the jail. without court. they all knew it was me. they basically caught me with loads of proof. we're here. "Cruz Del Sur" is written on the front wall in front of the jail. they grabbed me out of the car and lead me inside. black and yellow. that's all I could see when I came in. prisoners having yellow uniforms just like in school. but this was a jail.
"Get undressed!" one of the security woman shouted.
"why should I?" I didn't wanted to undress in front of people I never saw. plus I have no idea what would they do to me.
"we are going to frisk you so please undress and turn around. step on the yellow line and hands on wall." and fuck. I'm completely fucked because guess what. I have a pretty little knife stucked down there.
"I won't undress in front of you!" I shouted into the officers face.
"I'm scared that you'll have to" she said calmly but aggressively in my face as I saw a woman calling the officer to come to her. she was a prisoner dressed in yellow with black short hair with bangs and pretty brown eyes.
"what do you want zahir ?" the officer asked.
"if she's not comfortable being frisked by you then let me frisk her" the woman said. okay but this is getting more and more weird in here and I'm only 5 minutes inside.
"okay but no tricks zulema" the officer said as she came to me.
"so you're new here right?" she asked.
"yeah I'm new but that doesn't mean that I can bring you drugs or shit like that" I said not scared by her.
"pfff I don't do drugs." she laughed "I'm zulema, zulema zahir. nice to meet you" zulema said as we shaked hands.
"I'm y/n Oliveira." I said as she whispered to me.
"Well then y/n I'm going to frisk you so you better don't do anything crazy, understood?"
I nod my head saying yes. She started frisking me as I was dying from stress and panic inside of me because she'll find the knife.
"She's clean."zulema said as a rock from my heart dropped. I know she did feel the knife but she didn't say anything. I should be really thankful for her.
"See you later" she whispered into my ear and left. I never imagined I could meet someone here like that. we started going to my cell. it was upstairs with a number 367.
"here you go your cell. curly, ferreiro, soledad please welcome her. she's new" the officer said and left me in my cell with 3 other women.
"hey I'm Estefania but you can call me curly" a girl with brown curly hair, brown skin, brown eyes ran up to me. she seemed really cute and kind.
"hey I'm y/n oliveira. nice to meet you." I said as a blonde tall girl came up to me.
"I'm Macarena but call me Maca" she said while the last woman came up to me.
"I'm soledad but please call me sole" she said as she gave me a warm smile.
"Nice to meet you all." I said as I unpacked my things and made my bed.
"I saw you with zulema." Someone said from behind me. I turned around. It was Maca.
"And?" I asked.
"don't get really close to her, she's pretty dangerous" Macarena said.
"I think that I should pick with who I will be or not, don't you think ?" I was defending my word.
"Of course but if she does something to you don't come cry to me saying "you were right Maca I'm so sorry" Maca said as I finished making my bed.
"Don't worry. I won't" I said as I smiled and went out of my cell. I was searching until I found zulema in her cell laying on her bed playing with a scorpion.
"Are you allowed to have animals here ?" I asked as I went into her cell.
"I see you already found my cell" she laughed "come up here" she pointed at her bed. I got
up.
"You didn't answer my question" I said as I sat down on her bed.
"I didn't ask anyone. He's all I have here" zulema said as she handed me the scorpion.
I let her put it in my hands and I started playing with him.
"Aren't you scared of him?"zulema asked me surprised.
"No he's actually very handsome" I said as we both laughed.
"thank you zulema" i thank her.
"what for?" she asked.
"you didn't tell the police that I have a knife."
"I didn't want you to be in solitary just as soon as you came" she laughed " may i ask why are you here?" Zulema asked me as I handed her the scorpion.
"murder and robbery" I said as she laughed again.
"ooof you're a pretty big rebel I see"
"I killed my husband because I didn't want to be with him. he was with me because of a family tradition. he used to rape me. so I shot him and took his money." I explained to zulema.
"I'm sorry to hear that. How many years have you got?" Zulema asked me.
"17" I answered as she put her scorpion in a box.
"I suppose that someone here have told you that I'm very dangerous, am I right?" Zulema asked me as I nodded.
"Who?"
"Macarena" I answered.
"I'm not surprised. no one likes me here but neither do I" zulema said.
"Look I'm not afraid of you and you seem like a good person to me. if you need something then let me know zulema." I said as she nodded.
"Thank you. Same for you" she said as she hugged me. We were laughing a pretty long time when someone came into the cell. Macarena.
"y/n get out please" Macarena said as I didn't let her manipulate me.
"Oh and why should I?" I asked her not going out.
"It's for your own good" Macarena said as I looked on zulema who was telling me to go.
I got outside but little did they know I was standing behind the wall listening to them until I heard a "bang".
