She sneakedly placed some of my clothes on the front seat .She came back and went to our open backyard and started drying clothes.
She then went in to get the next batch.I was hiding in the huge landury basket,which had wheels.My mom left it there with me in it .I was so close to the truck .
My dad came out as my mom went in .
He started the truck, and acted as if there was trouble .He pretend as if he had unknowingly put it on reverse.
The men rushed to him .My mom took the advantage and came to my father's car.She got in and dressed the front seat to look like me.
She then started the car, drawing the men's attention. they saw the seat dressed as me, and thought it was me.My mom took off.
Ya Allah please protect my mom.They took off after my mom .My dad helped me into the back of the truck and took off
We managed to get to the market safely.I was so worried for my mom,my dad too.He regretted letting her serve as bait,but my mom, she is too stubborn and insisted.
My dad helped me to board a bus .He went back to get my mom.It was a Long hour drive,I finally reached my mom's family side .
They were waiting for me outside. They hugged me.
Grandma:your mom told me that you wanted to visit.You are welcomed darling .
As we were about to get in ,when she said something strange.
