What had become of her family? Where was her happy family lost? When Rizwan left that morning to fulfill her conditions for her to love him again, she wasn't asleep. She didn't know what to do when he was leaving. She wanted to stop him but the memories of Sam and that precious little boy of hers covered in bruises left her numb. She hated herself more than she hated his identity, that identity that took away her son. Her rationale mind argued it was not his identity but hatred in the hearts of others that destroyed her happy place but she didn't want to believe that, she was only a mother after all. She reached to his side of the bed and curled up trying to find his presence in the lingering fragrance of 'Mehnaaz Herbal Beauty Products' that he still used to try on himself before going out to sell them. She left a chuckle on that thought of him. It dawned on her how she may not have this smell for a long time now. That realization left a knot in her stomach but she was only a mother. She couldn't let a knot affect her sanity. She had to gather herself for her family. She had to gather all the pieces and try to build something that looked her family again.
