To Break the Jinx

Chapter 8

Haughty darkness.. Please be nice.

After what seemed more like a torture than a night,due to her ever haunting nightmares and headache,she was grateful for the break of dawn. Her nights have always been a torture and she shivers whenever the sun starts to set despite her great interest in the view.

Wiping the beads of sweat off her forehead and neck,she staggered like a zombie towards and opened one of the doors that led to the bathroom. She turned the shower on and had a warm bath,grateful for every drop of water that touches her burning skin,an aftermath of her nightmare.

After making sure that she felt a bit relieved,she got out of shower and made to brush her teeth, during which her mind drifted towards her nightmare again. This time, she dreamt of her mother, covered in her own blood and screaming for help as people cruelly throw any and every object within reach at her.

She's never seen her mother so helpless and it hurts her to.
She missed her peaceful nights,and marvelled at how much change her life has undergone. At how much her once bright life withered like a flower.

She immediately wiped a tear threatening to fall and finished up with brushing her teeth before she made for her room.
She slipped on a long gown,which Majeedah told her belongs to her younger sister,combed her hair and walked towards the balcony,where she was greeted with the rising face of the sun that always lightened her mood somehow and cool breeze.

After what seemed like an hour,she heard the door open and turned to face a glowing Majeedah, her signature smile plastered on her face.

"Good morning Rahma,did you sleep well?"
She nodded and managed to give her a smile of her own. Her silence still bothers Majeedah but she's letting it pass because of her husband's order to give her time.
"She's obviously been through a lot,let's give her time. I believe she'll open up with time" Yusuf's voice echoed in her head. She quickly cautioned herself and focused on making Rahma feel at home.

"Breakfast will be served in 20,and i'll take you out to get new clothes later in the day by God's grace" she said before turning to leave.
Rahma stood there a little bit more before heading downstairs. She took her seat and ate the appetizing dish of yam and egg gratefully,gulping the fruit juice alongside.

Majeedah noticed her speed and concluded that she likes yam and egg. She made a mental note to ask her later.
Yusuf bid them goodbye,pecking his wife lightly and waving at Rahma before he left for work.

"We'll leave for the mall by noon" Majeedah called behind her as she left for her room.

Before I forget!
