His Redemption

Chapter 6

Nazreen's POV

  The sound of crunched up leaves fill the air. As I rub my hands together to create warmness despite of wearing a thick sweater and a jacket, the coldness seems to find its way within my body.

Making my way through a narrow path and appearing on the right side of the road turning on my left. I keep walking ahead as my eyes seems to enjoy the view of trees passing by. This road in most of the times is deserted and leads to a small town.

A town that is unknown to the world due to its small population that makes everyone know each other. I might be an outsider but these people treat me as if am on of they're own despite of my quietness and non interaction towards them. remembering back when i first set foot it this town i couldn't help myself being drawn to the friendly atmosphere different from the cold one that am used to where a woman has no purpose than to be sub servant to her husband but Anwar though at the beginning treated me harshly, flaunting his mistresses' onto my face. Later on it all changed.

At least that's what I think, however the image like a curse that has been thrown upon me inserted itself whereas the man I love holds a gun pointing straight at me. Nothing in this world could ever hurt me and brake me the way that evil bastard did the man that I gave my heart to, the man that I would've gone through hell for. unconsciously, my hands as if they have a mind of their own move to my stomach, as tears start to pick my eyes when I think about the child that i had lost, the child that if I knew existed I would've done anything to protect it. And now all because of my so called husband I can't be mother now am a shell of a woman that no man would want, that is if I ever want to be married again but i don't think that I would ever be ready to give another man power over me.

I shake my head as a signal of refusing to let my mind dwell on my dark past. the past that took everything from me and taught me to never trust anyone. The man that i once called a brother, became one to believe the lies that had been told instead of me the girl that he took care of. Bilal my so called brother that promised to always be there for me turned out to be a hypocrite just like the rest of them.

Drying up my tears I urge myself to move as soon it will be dark and I wont be able to make my way back to my home.

Arriving on the with my hands deep inside the my jacket with my face hidden by my niqab, as i wouldn't want people to stare at my scarred face because it is impossible to hide it when it is on my right cheek and to whomever that would be looking at me wouldn't be able to miss it.

entering the busy street that contains all kinds of vendors with different products ranging from food to beauty product. with a herd of people in it. making my way straight to the only grocery store in the village.

Did chiming of the bell rings into my ears as I enter the grocery store only to find it fully packed with people. Different from what am used to, Without looking at anybody's face I forced my leg to move directly to the Farthest aisle So that nobody can keep staring at me not only that I keep sensing that something is about to happen.

The only thing that I pray it is it is something good not bad because I've already had enough of bad luck in my life and for once just once I pray to the Almighty Allah that something good happens.

My eyes are scanning the items that are available in the aisle Only to find that I am on the junk food part.Oh well I just better get what I want the snacks that I love. Scanning on the shelf my ass come into contact with one of my favorite chocolates that I used to love back in the days the days when I used to warm my heart in a sleeve the days that I believe that love can conquer all.

Unconsciously without noticing what I'm doing my hands move to that delicious snack bar to anyone who is watching my dear see a weird girl staring at the chocolate bar. While in reality that chocolate bar unlocks memories that I better be forgotten. Well my fingertips brush against it only then do I realize that I am lost deep in thought I do not know what's gotten into me today since I woke up I keep remembering about the man that betrayed me the man that took everything from me the man that instead of protecting me was the one who caused harm to me.

"Umm... ma'am are you going to keep staring at it or are you going to pick it up?"Feminine voice said beside me shocking me not expecting someone to be standing so near me that it cost me to stick to take a step back and knock on the Cart that seems to be full of one type of product looking closely it's a soapThat I see is being advertised constantly in the television.

Suddenly frightened I feel my heartbeat increase my Palm sweating Inside an increase of temperature while my breathing becomes small only to leave me panting like a dog who is seeking for air my vision starts to get blurry. "Ma'am is everything okay?"Somewhere far away I can hear the girl Talking but my mind is blank I can't comprehend what is she saying.

Out of nowhere I feel like being lifted and floating into the air focusing my vision on what's going on around me. Before I could succumb to the darkness that seems to be calling me somewhere very far away . I didn't know whether I was dreaming while I'm still in a panic attack or is it truly I heard the voice urging me telling me ,!that it's OK , everything is alright and that's when everything becomes dark
