I was praying, it was early in the morning and I heard a knock on the door. It was Saif, he handed me a new phone and left for work. I only knew my parents' number and so I immediately called my mother. Mum it's me, it's Eshaal and mama replied with a trembling voice "Eshaal, my daughter where are you? After how long you call me" I explained everything to her, and she immediately said she would send uncles to pick me up. Mom it's useless, now I'm his wife and then he won't let me go, in fact I'm afraid he'll hurt you, "Ehsaal we've already left for Canada". With this, mom disconnected and I felt my heart stop, all my family had already left i was the only one here,now i had no chance to go back. It had been more than a month since I hadn't seen my family and now that mum and dad were also in Canada I couldn't resist.

When Saif came back around noon I told him that; I want to see my family again, "No that's not possible, I gave you the phone, you can talk to them but not see them", I told you I want to see them again, you didn't bring me here as a prisoner I'm your wife."Don't argue I told you I wouldn't take you and end here",I don't have to follow your commands! You married me and now you take me to my loved ones, "Eshaal I'm not taking you anywhere he said yelling", you say that because you're afraid that I'll run away or never come back. Don't worry it won't be like this,"Am I scared? not even a bit, as I had married you I would have also brought you back". I went to my room furious, i slammed the door in anger. Who did he think he was? Surely he wouldn't have scared me like this, I don't submit to anyone. But I didn't even have a choice, I couldn't go alone since I didn't know the place and the streets. I had to convince him to take me to my house even if only for a short time but I wanted to hug my grandparents, uncles and all.

It had been a whole day that I was locked in my room but this was nothing new to me since most of the time I'm always locked up there. Saif came and told me that he would take me to my family and I said, it's your duty and my right. The journey was long, I was anxious to see my family, what they would think, who knows if they would accepted me and everyone in the village what will they say when they see me. The wait was long but now I was at home I was in my village there was an atmosphere of security. Saif got out of the car said "we are here to leave" and I said,I don't run away let's enjoy this moment, I saw the eyes of my family perplexed, they looked at me, after Saif and after all the guardians armed with guns, ready for any moment .

Saif luckily told the guardians to go outside and wait,maybe that was the only useful thing i heard from him. The questions of my family were many, they had many doubts and perplexities. I didn't have time to tell everything and there wasn't even a need since my mother had already told everything. "We can save you, now that you're here, we won't let you go," the uncle said confidently, no uncle there's no need now I'm his wife. After a while I heard Saif calling me even though we had been here for about twenty minutes, I saw him very worried and anxious he was certainly afraid of not being able to take me back. I gave everyone a big hug, that little time was enough for me to feel better for another few weeks. When I left I saw everyone's eyes on our car it was sure they were scared to see all these guardians and then Saif didn't look very nice
