"Husaibah!" Umma called from her room.
"Na'am Umma" I replied running to her room in my blue sweatpants and white baggy t-shirts.
I slowly opened the door to see my mom on her bed rubbing her big bumpy stomach. She was pregnant.
"My dear I want to eat bread" she said making a sad face.
"Oh Umma the last bread we had got spoiled" I replied pouting.
"Oh God and its raining" she said.
She new I love to go out in the rain I loved the smell of the wet sand and the loud sound of heavy rain.
"Okay where is your purse?" I asked searching for it with my eyes.
"Here" she said handing me over her purse which was under her pillow.
I quickly went back to my room and took my hijab and set out for the road full of wonders.

********

********
Walking alone on the street of Malali GRA sighting people running for shelter from the heavy rain. My clothes were already dripping and my mind was full of joy and excitement. The strong smell of wet sand made me crave, I felt like jumping onto it a lick every last of it.
Walking back from the shop holding on tight to the bread under my hijab thinking I should walk slowly so I could enjoy more but my mom is back home waiting for me.
The sticky mud got on my legs making me to rub my legs on a concrete dipping my shoe into the water from the pothole. I loved doing that all the time.
Suddenly a black Mercedes jeep appeared in front of me roughly parking almost got me hit.
"What the hell!" I shouted as water drip into my mouth.
"Get her" a strong muscular voice said as two huge men reached for me.
I struggled to get out of the strong grip they gave me but they were too strong I couldn't resist.
"What are you doing please" I shouted
Nobody was around to save me the heavy rain was loud and nobody could hear me I couldn't hear my self either.
"Please!!" I begged as I got thrown into the jeep hitting my head hard on the chair.
"Drive" one of the guys said.
The car started and all sort of thoughts ran into my brain.
Umma'
'I wish I had stayed back home'
'Where are they taking me?"
'Umma'
"I beg of you please let me go" I begged
"Shut up" he shouted making me to shiver in fear.
"Inalilahi wa inalilahi raji'un" I said putting both hands on my head.
"Shut that girl up" the driver said.
The guy grabbed my hand and tried to inject me but I struggled. He slapped me on my face so hard I could feel any pain.
Slowly I let myself escape the grip he gave me to a new world of white walls.
