OUR JOURNEY TO FREEDOM

chapter 8 :A new friend

10th September , 2020.

Ray's pov
I can tell how happy you are Nuur , doing the one thing you love most .
Writing has always been a part of me too . It is just so bad I can't join the writing club unless after three months and no one is ready to leave too. But it's all good , that's what Allah wants and I just can't wait to join the handcrafters !

Sorry habibty, three months is not too far . It will end like a flash. That doesn't mean you shouldn't write too.
Kindly review this piece for me . My assigned theme is "white sheets"

Let's see.....
Nuur hands over her note pad to Ray .

                           
                   At birth

Mama wrapped me in it
To make me warm
It was a comfy white sheet
Spotless and clean

At puberty
Mama wrapped me in it again
To prove my femininity
It was a mark purity
Spotless and clean

On our first night
We hid ourselves beneath it
To make love
It was a night of unity
Love and compassion

Upon my death
They'll wrap me in it
To say goodbye
It will be my last moment
Tragic and devastating

Same white sheet
Different times
Different purpose
Same white sheet!

You little genius ! This is amazing , come her ! Ray embraced her ...

I must add , you did well Nuur ! Says sabiqa .

What are you waiting for , better give me yours to read sabiqa ...

Oooops , I am currently working on a story , I will let you read when I am done . Come on Nuur , you don't want to be scolded by sayid Jameel ! We are running late .

They both rushed out to save their ass*s leaving a cold feeted Ray.

I found Walking up to the handicraft class awkward , don't blame me I am meeting different faces today...

I was a little confused and nervous

You must be Rayan Mustapha , a voice approached from behind .

Ray shyly smiled at Sayida Kifaya .
Come , I'll introduce you to the class

After the pleasantries , she made her way to the empty seat beside a smiling sumayya.

welcome to HCS ! Sumayya Umar Simba AKA summy....

Thanks , I'm Rayan Mustapha alias
Ray .

The two got along so well , you could say they knew each other long ago . This was because summy was an extrovert.

HCS was currently working on some materials for the month's project: "Tote bag making"

It was quiet interesting and Ray learnt a few things from summy. Within a flash , the class was over and they had to retire for lunch.

It was a pleasure meeting you summy ..

Same here Ray. What do you plan on doing with your material ? remember Sayida kifaya Says everyone must make a good finishing. It's the only thing apart from the material that speaks well about a tote bag.
