Flashback

"Mama puh-lease" Saniyah said making the best puppy eyes with a pout but Bareeroh shook her head.

"Then I'll tell Dad to get it for me" She said grinning.

"Even your dad has to seek permission from me before buying anything for you" Bareeroh said  and then continue with her work.

Bareeroh is a fashion designer and a professional baker. She studied fashion designer in U.K and learn baking here in Nigeria.

After getting married to Aaryan Sulayman, she opened her fashion designing company. Once in a while, she helps in making snacks or cakes for ceremonies.

"Uncle Ayaan will do it then" Saniyah said but this time around Bareeroh ignored her.

The door bell ring and Saniyah jumped down from the table she was seating on.

"Dad's back" She said.

Bareeroh put on her hijab before leaving the room with Saniyah trailing behind her.

She shook her head as she heard her daughter count the number of steps they're taking.

The smile on her face dropped as she opened the door to see the person she fear most on earth. Her father in law.

She quickly hid Saniyah behind and her father in law burst into laughter.

"Won't you invite me in daughter?" He asked with a wicked smile on.

"Aa...Aar...ya.n is.n..t home" She stuttered and when Saniyah heard her stuttered, she knew something is wrong.

End of flashback.

"I don't want to remember what happened next. I don't want to" Saniyah said before bursting into tears.

Abdul Azeez sighed before pulling her into a hug but that isn't what she needed. Because her every attempt to stop herself from remembering whatever happened are becoming abortive. Immediately, her temperature started increasing and she started hallucinating. She find herself back at the basement as she watch those cruel people rape her mum brutally while she scream telling them to stop. She watched her mum cry in pain and asking Allah for help. She continue hitting the glass wall separately them with her tiny hands hoping it will fall off but it doesn't. She watch as her mum pronounced the Kalimah before closing her eyes permanently. She watch as the cruel people walked out of the room not after throwing an object into the room.

They dragged her away but before they walked out of the room, the room explode and she screamed but it doesn't last long as her throat was slitted.

"SANIYAH LOOK AT ME" Abdul Azeez called trying to bring her out of where she is but she couldn't. Her temperature kept on increasing and she won't stop crying. She kept on thrashing her legs and arms.

Abdul Azeez quickly dressed her up despite the thrashing  before picking her up and rushed out of the apartment but upon getting to the general sitting room which linked his apartment to the main house, he met the whole family. Without saying anything, he just rushed out. He placed her at the back seat before getting into the driver side but before he could drive off, Hikmah got into the back seat to stay with Saniyah.
