A Taste Of Love

Joya

I woke up from my sleep because the bus driver told me that it's the last stop. It's like 10 in the night.

I ran away from there 3 in the afternoon. It's now night time. Now I am scared. No, I have to be strong.

I get away from the bus. There was a 24/7 store. I went there and asked if I can use the washroom. The man agreed and I went there. I changed into normal clothes. I brought 2 sets of clothes, 2 abayas, some cash and my phone with me.

I definitely sure that dad's boss gonna track my phone number. So I changed my phone number earlier. I know, I know, I am smart.

However I was so hungry. So I bought something to eat from that store. In that store there was some more people. Of course it's normal. But the thing is they were staring at me so creepily. Like they are gonna--oh nooo, I am in trouble. I am a alone girl right now. What should I do? I started reciting Almighty Allah's name. I asked Allah for help.

Then I decided that I should get out from here. I was thinking that if I go out maybe maybe I can found someone to help me.

I went out. I don't know if I am dumb or clever to do that. I started walking from there. And yes 2 and 3 man from the store started following me. What should I do? I started walking fast. They also walked fast. Then I don't know what happened I ran.

I ran so fast but they were also running behind me. Then I got a chance to hide in a dark small road. I was continuously asking Allah for help.

Those men were roaming around searching for me. I heard them saying,
"Ahh, we lost her. She was alone. I am sure she has enough cash with her."

Another one said, "Cash, shut up. Have you seen her figure. I am sure she--"

"Shut up you guys. This is nonsense. And search for her.", Another man maybe he is the leader said.

They again started looking for me. Then,

"What are you doing here?", someone said behind my back.

I looked behind me and there was a man standing. I couldn't see his face. I grab his arm and made him sit beside me. And whisper to him,
"Shhh, lower your voice."

"But why?", He again said. I was so pissed of. I hit his arm softly and whisper to him, "Shhh, told you to lower your voice."

"Okayyy, but why?", He was also whispering.

This guy is full of question. Can't he shut up for a moment. Still I answered him. "I am hiding from them. They looks creepy and want to take away my money.", I whisper to him indicated them.

"Ohh I see. Let me handle this", saying this he tried to get up. I quickly grab his hand and again made him to sit. "Let me handle this, why?? Are you a hero or something? They could have harmful things like knife. So stay here.", I said.

Yes they could harm him. And if they, who will take responsibility of this? Not me! My life is already a mess. Also I am really scared of blood. Like I can't stand this type of things.
