ESHAAL POV

I woke up in the middle of night around 4 am to pray tahajjud. Praying tahajjud isn't all about love or something. Sometimes it's for our family, others or sometimes ourselves and success in this world and hereafter from this world.
After praying tahajjud prayer i was sitting on the prayer mat just then i heard faint footsteps.

"who it can be...? At this time...?" i thought as my eyes darted towards the clock which showed 4:27 am then my eyes went on the door.

"it can't be appa neither eomma then who...? What if it's a jinn...? Astagfirullah, it shouldn't be this please Ya Allah help me..." i thought to myself walking towards the door of my room.

I peeked out from the door of my room just to see nobody...?

"bismillah." i muttered under my breath reciting Ayat-ul-kursi while walking out from my room quietly.

I still heard those faint footsteps then I heard the main door opening sounds even if it's low anyone could hear of they would be in hall or in corridor.

I walked towards the main door quietly just to see a man going out from house...?  A man...?  Just then I realized it's my cousin, haamid, my aunt's son who's just 18 years old. They're gonna stay for two days.

"where's he going at this time...?"
I thought walking towards the main door since he left house already.

"he don't even know any directions of our town in daegu cause he's from gwangju but wait he have phone so he can know about the directions..." i thought to myself peeking out from the main door then spotted him walking away from our house.

"he don't have any friends here then where's he going at this time...? Should I follow him...? I think, I should..." i thought to myself hesitantly then, i started following him maintaining the safe distance so he don't notice me. I pulled the niqab of my hijab over my face covering half of my face only my eyes could be seen and the hijab reached lower than my knees so I don't actually need abaya for now.

I followed him just to find him stopping at the alley from my house's few blocks away where three guys were standing there already. I stopped few meters away from him watching him interacting with those guys they seem like thugs or bad guys.

Those three guys gave a bag to haamid then they chit chatted for few seconds until one of those bad guy was about to hit haamid then I stepped forward and

"Stop right there..." I yelled not too much loudly but more firmly.

A/N POV

As she yelled all of their attention turned towards her they all seemed shocked somehow.

"Noona, what are you doing here...?" Haamid asked seeing her there at this time.

"I should be the one asking this. What are you doing he-" she got cut off by one of that bad guy.

"Noona...? Like seriously...?  Hey girl what's with this kind of fashion...?" the guy asked her laughing at her appearance while looking her from head to toe since she's all covered.

"That's none of your concern to worry about my appearance." she said glaring that guy.

"You can take this off girl... Let me see what lies under this clothe." the guy spoke trying to approach her.

"stay away...!" she said firmly stepping back.

"stay away from her, you've nothing to do with her." Haamid spoke stepping forward between that guy and Eshaal.

"But now we've." the guy spoke smirking.

"Man, get aside already." another guy spoke.

"No." Haamid spoke. 

"What's in this bag...?" Eshaal asked haamid pointing at the bag haamid was holding behind his back.

"it's nothing." Haamid looked back at eshaal then spoke nervously. Haamid tried to keep the bag away from eshaal's each but he mistakenly dropped the bag on ground.

Eshaal picked up the bag from ground before haamid could reach the bag. Eshaal opened the bag and took out another small plastic bag...?

"What's this...?" Eshaal asked haamid showing the plastic bag which had white colored power in it.

"Don't you know what's this...? Huh...?" the guy spoke laughing.

Haamid was panicking internally staring the plastic bag in Eshaal's hand.

"Noona, give it back." Haamid spoke trying to take that small plastic bag from Eshaal but one of that guy interrupted.

"Let me tell you girl what's this thing. Have you heard about drugs that's what's it." the guy spoke pushing Haamid away stepping forward trying to touch Eshaal.

"What...? Drug...?  Are you serious...?" Eshaal looked at Haamid with widened eyes then she stepped back when she saw that guy tried to touch her.

Haamid was about to approach that guy but other two guys held Haamid firmly in their grasp.

"Stay away from her...!" Haamid spike loudly to that guy who was trying to touch Eshaal.

"Excuse me, stay in your limits. Don't you dare to touch me." Eshaal spoke firmly and glaring that guy.

"Or else what...? Huh...? What you gonna do young lady...? Going to scream for help...?" The guy spoke laughing while still trying to touch her.

Eshaal stepped back more then she felt something touched her foot she looked down and found an iron rod near her foot.
She quickly bent down and picked up that iron rod holding firmly in her grasp.

"Stay away from me." Eshaal spoke pointing the iron rod at that guy.

"Woah, girl you got some nerves. Don't you...?" The guy chuckled and tried to touch her arm but Eshaal hitted the iron rod on his hand the guy groaned in pain.

"Bit*h" The guy muttered angrily.

"Astagfirullah." Eshaal spoke.

"You're such a annoying bit*h." the guy spoke angrily then tried to approach her again.

"I told you to stay away." Eshaal spoke.
