Miami Florida
Fear
Terror
And fear again.
She felt as her body furiously and violently shakes, sweating even with the air conditioner while her mind was cold due to fear, this nightmare wasn't the first neither would it be the last that she knew of, but she don't think she'd ever get accustomed to it.
Despite how spacious the room was, she still felt as if the walls were closing up on her, her breathing were raspy and the world around her seemed to be spinning around, and that alone made the memories came rushing becoming more clearer.
Binafa that trudged into the room due to her screams that filled the empty dark walls of the house decided to recite the Qur'an for her just like her family would.
They would never forgive Adnan for this, he had broken the poor girl beyond repair and he's out there enjoying his self.
She felt calm after a while, so she made her way to the bathroom to perform ablution, she headed to the faucet and took a handful of water then splashed it on her face,she repeated the act severally, then afterwards performed the ablution and trudged out.
Right there before her lord she felt the calmness and peace she had not felt for a while, and right that instant she knew there was no any other position better than that of a servant in sujood.
One thing she would forever be grateful for regarding her dark cloudy past was how everything that happened dragged her more closer to her lord, she was a better Muslim after the whole incident and she's grateful for that.
^*^*^
The view before her could have calmed her down if she was really paying attention but no, not when her demons are eating her whole being raw, as much as she wanted to forget her past she couldn't for it's already catching up on her, glued to her shoulder while it weighed her down.
She's tainted for life that she's sure of, her whole being was scarred and wounded, a never healing wound, she came to the beach hoping it will calm her even a bit but nay, she was only lying to herself.
"Enjoying the sunset without me I see" she heard the unmistaken voice of binafs.
It almost skipped her mind that Binafs was to meet her here because she almost left, for the initial plan for coming here was totally ruined by her taunting past.
Binafs dropped the painting materials she came with and began to setup the items, this is something they shared in common, they had a lot of things in common but their obsession for painting is on another level.
"Let's paint down this beauty before us" Zahra's lips almost tilt up but ended up stretching.
"You should have stayed at home and rest binafs, you're doing a lot for me" her words made Binafs lips tugged down into a small frown and her gaze snapped to her direction.
"Seriously Zee, are we still on that level" there was a drip of hurt and pain in her words when she said that which made Zahra felt an unfamiliar feeling, she's not the type that understands her emotions, she wasn't sentimental at all but she could tell if what she's feeling is good or bad.
" Binafs I don't mean it like that" Binafs was about to reply her when she get cut off.
Binafs phone rang which cut through her jumbled state, and her lips curled up while her heart dance to the tune of joy upon sighting the caller ID but was quick to conceal it with a fake frown so that the person would not think she's all that happy to talk with him.
"Assalamu alaikum baby sis" she heard the unshaken voice of her favorite person on earth, but no one should tell him that.
"Wa'alaikas salam" she curtly answered, which made him chuckled from the other side, he decided to ignore his sister's dramatic self and swivels the talk to the reason why he called.
"You really handled the deal well, my baby you really close up that deal" he cheered which made her frown to varnish from her face and instantly got replaced with a smile.
He really was proud of her and she could feel it in his voice, it was the same voice her parents use earlier in congratulating her, she was happy that she was able to make them happy.
"Yaya fawwaz this doesn't mean I'll continue to handle your work for you, come back and take over abeg" he only but giggle more at her words, he was slowly relieving himself off this duty, he's glad his little sister is warming up to the business world, since he couldn't.
He was more pleased with being a pilot.
"When are you leaving for Nigeria? Or are you not attending the wedding" he swivels the topic to another.
"I've to prepare myself for all the 'when are you getting married' argh this your family can be overwhelming"
"Are you disowning your family already ahhh yarinya ta girma" she only but scoffed, he didn't wait for her reply when he continued "how's Zahra? Heard that you're together" he asked flatly as if it was just normal for him to care about her best friend.
She didn't meant that he shouldn't ask after her, no! It's just that she can sense something fishy cooking up in his mind and the thought alone made her giggle.
"Yaya fawwaz" she called his name in a singsong manner.
Her head swivels to where Zahra was seated so engrossed in whatever she was doing on her phone, though she had an inkling that it's something business related because it is the only thing apart from her online islamiyya that could make her look this lost.
"Zahra, Yaya fawwaz is saying hi" she snapped her fingers crossed her eyes, which made Zahra snapped her gaze towards Binafs direction.
She offered her a small appreciative smile and turned her gaze back to her phone while she slightly caught some of the siblings banter.
Zahra's phone pinged indicating an incoming message,she tapped on the message icon and stared fazed at the private number while she opened it nevertheless.
'Your peaceful days are almost over, so start counting tik tok'
She feared every word in the message but instead of cowering she scoffed instead, the sender must be joking and very stupid to think that she's currently at peace or anything near that.
Her peaceful days were long ended and she had no hope in having them back, she's done been optimistic, maybe in the next life but definitely not the one she's currently living in.
I'll be really glad if you check out my new book 'just US in summer days'❤️
