Along the road of life

Denial

Chapter 17

I have been  lock up in this room for almost three weeks now. I get to pray, eat and sleep, no work required, no offensive words only when the black witch aka Amrah comes. And also when i talked back she slapped me and threatened to cut off my tongue if i dare her again. And i believe she can with the way she was glaring at me.

Well, today was different. When she came, she jusr sat down.
"Why are you doing this?" I asked her.
"Hiding you?" She asked back.
"No, why are you being the bad person" i said in fear of seeing what she's going to do next but to my surprise she just smiled and said "some people just want to see the world fall. Is not that we don't have enough or we are greedy. We just want to see his downfall. "
"Not to ask too much question but when will i be free again?"
"When Osman falls down on his kneel crawling and don't a single penny on him" She stood up and left.

I have to look for a way to escape. I can't just sit here and be the source of someone downfall. Even though he destroy my life, i won't do the same. Am not like him, am good and i'll do the right thing not for him.

After an hour, am too sure that Amrah has left. I stood up and walk to the window examining the house and make an escape plan. There are two men standings at the gate, a girl that always brings food to me. These are the only humans i have seen, since my stay in this house. I tried talking to them but none said a word to me.

I walked to the bathroom and tried to look through the window to no avail. I  went back to  the room and take the stool that they keep my food on and drag it to the bathroom. Finally i can have a view of what's outside, climbing up a voice shout out "come down, what are you doing?

" ohh, i just want some fresh air"  i lied.
I tried talking to her but failed cause she won't answer back.
She drop the food tray down and pick up the table and walk out with it.

"Did you try to run away" Amrah said as she walked in
"No, why should i do that."
"Don't lie to me "
"Am telling the truth"
"If you try that i'll kill you"
"I know"

I sigh and continue eating. I watched her walked out and lock the door.
After i finished eating, i prayed and then sleep. I'll ask Amrah for Qur an.

********************
"You are lying" Jafar said
"Am not. This is the truth, Osman didn't say anything about me but i met Osman through Naseer and i was the reason why Osman met Azi. I remember perfectly well, after she slapped him he made her a promise that she will regret doing that. And indeed he made her regret that" Munira said.
" I still don't believe you. Is this some sort of play or what. We have listen to you, now you can get out of my house." Saif said.
"Then tell us where Azee is, please. If you can't help Azee we can." Farhana said.
" we have nothing to do with the person that tries to ruins the name of our family " Jafar said
"Do you even hear yourself. What kind of family are you, the one that tries to keep its name more than making sure that one of the family member is safe." Asmee said glaring him.
"How dare you talk to me like that"
"What? Will you lose your temper and hit me. Ohh am scared,"
"Get out" Jafar yelled
"No need to shout. We are leaving, told you its a waste of time they are not going to believe us" Munira said as they walked out.

"This is all my fault. I can't just have a peace of mind knowing perfectly well that Azee is in this situation because of me" Munira said
"Don't say that. We will find Azee, and we will make them believe that Azee is the victim here not the culprit" Farhana said sadly
" I hope so. I just hope we find her and everything will be fine"
"Ya Allah i seek refuge in you, please help us find Azee and where ever she is make it easy for her. Ameen ya Rabbi"
