Chapter Eleven:

AFEERAH'S P.O.V

I sighed.

Why am I even here?

After what Sahal said it clearly means he's not coming back to get me.

So why am I here?

I feel alright and the doctor said I can be discharged. The hospital bills were paid too.

Probably by Sahal. Because he pitied me.

Ofcourse.

I let out a dry laugh but tears just streamed down my face.

Nobody cares for me. I have no one.

I hate my life so much. I remembered the stupid dream i had.

"Ma! Tell him to come back!" I wailed tugging at my mum's skirt.

She pushed me away violently. "He's dead you orphan! He's never coming back."

Tears slid down my skinny face. We were in front of our rundown house.

I wore only torn smelly and dirty shorts with a sleeveless white top that turned brown.

My feet were unclad and as the wind blew, my knees shook violently.

"No!" I cried.

"You know I've been waiting for this day so i can get rid of you." She snarled.

My wails got louder as she got us a kekenapep and we went to a house sith tattered rooftops and peeling paint.

"This is where you're staying from now on."

I didn't want to stay there so i grabbed her skirt. "No."

She tried pulling me off of her but I grasped harder.

"Mama." I cried, maybe hoping she'd consider me her daughter even once.

"You're not my daughter." She said in a tone that was laced in bitterness and hatred. With a final push, she got me to fall on the floor.

Before I could even get to do anything, she walked to the keke and they drove off, mud spilling on me.

"Ma! Don't leave me. Please!" I cried to no one in particular. "Ma!"

I didn't bother getting up. I put my knees to my chest as I cried.

"Papa! Where are you?" I cried.

"You promised you'd never leave me!"

I woke up with beads of sweat forming on my forehead. It was what happened years ago when my...mother took me to the foster home.

She reminds me of Sahla. My mother. She reminds me of Sahla.

No matter how much Sahla hates me, I'd love to have her life.

I wiped the tears away and got up. There were the clothes i wore when I was brought here on the couch.

I change into the uniform and wore the hijab.

Sighing, I made my way out, not feeling the need to announce that i was leaving.

As if anyone would care.

No one even took notice of me as i walked through the corridors.

Like i was invisible.

When I walked out of the hospital, I could clearly see the open street.

Wondering where I'd head to next.

I started walked when I heard a car screech to a stop.

The person inside went out and ran to me.

"Where do you think you're going?"
