My Salvation (CURRENTLY EDITING)

Chapter 3

Nawal

After I reached my home, I quickly changed into my comfy clothes and decided to take a power nap. I couldn't really sleep as my mind was occupied with that strange guy I collided with. Was he upset with me? But I don't even know him! I think it was because of his day. Maybe his day wasn't great?

There's something about him that intrigued me, some sort of magnetic pull to know him, to talk with-

Woah. What's wrong with me? I don't usually think like this.

After turning around for ten times I decided to go and eat something. When I want to sleep I can't and when I think I'm sleepy, my brain says no. Stupid brain!

I decided to make myself a cup of green tea.

After drinking the tea, I was still feeling hungry so I grabbed 2 packets of my favourite noodles in the world - Indomie.

After having my noodles, I went to my room and decided to spend my time watching something till it's time for Asr prayer. First, I decided to search for my boss on the net - as Shareefa gave me a brief introduction about him. But there's not much about him on the internet either. He displayed this mysterious personality which makes me want to know more.

I ended up doing nothing as I slept the entire time. I woke up due to my alarm for Asr prayer.

After praying I decided to do some cleaning of my house. Since nobody lives here except for me, I do all the stuff here.

While cleaning, I wondered how my siblings are. Do they miss me? Are they even searching for me? I hope they don't, cause if they did, I have to go to that hellhole I escaped from. I really wish my siblings were here with me, we would have enjoyed here so much. I wonder if they are angry with me due to me suddenly leaving them. I wonder if those parents of ours have changed or not. It's best to not think about them.

By the time I was done cleaning, I prayed remaining prayers and read Quran. It was around 9:30 pm. I decided to sleep as I need to wake up and get to office. Before sleeping I kept an alarm so that I don't wake up late. As I was about to sleep, I got a text message from an unknown number.

I never gave my number to anybody here. How this person got my number? In my confused state, I checked the message and I think at that moment I forgot how to breathe. The message read,

Unknown : I know where you are. You can't run away from me now.

I was shocked to the core. Who is this person? Please don't tell me it's who I think it is! I quickly typed my messaged.

Nawal : Who are you? How did you get my number?

And I instantly regret it. Not a second passed and that person replied,

Unknown : Your worst nightmare. You thought you could destroy me and run away? I will get back to you, dear. Sleep tight! ;)

Ya Allah! Why do I have a strong feeling that my worst nightmare is back to destroy me utterly? I had already suffered a lot. I can't bear those tortures again. When I see my self, all my past bruises gets revived again. I try to forget my past, but it can't be forgotten; it has been stuck with me as my shadow. Shadows leave us alone when its dark but my past doesn't leave me during darkness, it actually haunts me.

I can't be so sure that the one who has sent the message are my parents as it's a private number.

They will come for me. They will find that I'm living here and they will drag me back. And this time I don't think I will survive. They will certainly kill me and-
