Dear Layla,
We told each other over and over again that we will not contact even if we awere miles away.No surprizes for guessing what happened to that.

Flashback to 1990 and we were the 'It' girls of our school and our friendship was a well-known thing around the school.Do you remember the day when we planned to remove our hijabs to 'live our dream' to become popular? Of course you do because now when i think about it,it makes me feel guilty and I guess it does to you too now that you are married.

Sometimes i think it was fear when we saw Zara having to walk in a series of stares of judgement and the night when she came home and cried.

And then there guilt..
Breaking out of the guilt is hardwork but when you turn to the one who forgives, a new hope rises.

Love from,
E
