I'm so sorry for the late update! Thanks to all your previous comment it motivated me a lot. You all should keep it up please.

You're free to point out any error!

Get your tissue close!!!.

The trauma of being rape or sexually assaulted can be shattering, leaving her feeling scared, ashamed and alone or plague by nightmares, flashback and other unpleasant memory. It can also result to Rape trauma syndrome(RTS)"Dr Muhsin remark.

RTS? She asked again.

Yes Hajiya it is a psychological trauma experience by a rape victim that include disruption to normal physical, emotional, cognitive and interpersonal behaviour."He elaborated.

Is that the reason why she's still mute doctor?

I can't say for now hajiya! She's still trying to comprehend where she is now. I mean the environment. Just give her some moment she will speak up, but in case of any change you observe from her then it might be RST which affected her physically.

I hope she speak up soon! Please don't let my husband knows about this. I'm scared it might affect his health more" She reason.

Don't worry hajiya, Your daughter is strong and will fight it thoroughly Insha Allah." He encourage with a tight lips smile.

Insha Allah! I hope so too. Thank you" She mutter and left.

Sauntering back to the ward__ upon opening the door she was shocked beyond word. Deejah was chatting with her dad like nothing ever happened to her. They were so engrossed that they never noticed even her coming in. She cough a little drawing their attention toward her.

"Mum you're back "deejah inquire

Tears of joy stream down her cheeks. She couldn't believe this is her daughter acting her normal self or even better than." Yes I'm back sweetheart, how are you feeling now?"She asked touching are forehead.

Alhamdullilah! I'm feeling much better right daddy?" She asked facing are dad.

"Yes. My princess is feeling better"He nodded in agreement.

"Mum when Will I be discharge? I'm tired of staying here, I want to go home please" She pouted.

Insha Allah you will be discharge soon. Let wait for the doctor to come around okay" She stated. Though her voice was a little bit cracking.

For she couldn't bring herself to believing this was exactly Khadijah.

She was at the dinning table with her parents having breakfast when suddenly a phone call interrupted her. She excused herself and maneuver to her room upstairs and pick the call immediately.

" I'm sorry I couldn't call you back ever since i saw the video you sent for me. I..i was finding it difficult to believe but clearly visible it was her" He stutter "I'm sorry for not believing you earlier I thought you were just trying to fool me." He said over the phone.

She massage her forehead gently, she has totally forgotten about the video she sent to sherrif and here he his calling her about it, when she's already regretting her action." She thought.

"Hello! Are you there?" He enquire.

"Oh yeah! Pardon my silent" She stated.

"Okay no problem. Are you busy? I can called back later."He said

"No it fine." She reply.

"Can we meet at your convenience place and time?" Sheriff asked.

"Of course yes, we can meet at your house"She respond eagerly for she won't let him know her discomfort or knows she's a betrayal.
