Fatima's pov:
It's been one month! ONE MONTH!!! Since Liam went that day leaving half breakfast! It's not like that I'm worried about him but.....but....but... just forget.
In this one month I've been staying with Aabha. We talk a lot and enjoy but still I miss my parents. With the help of Aabha we went on shopping and I bought a prayer mat and Quran.
Alhamdulillah at least I can pray.
Right now I'm done with my Isha prayer and I am reading Quran sitting at the corner of the bed. I was reading it loudly with a sweet voice.
Suddenly I felt a presence beside me, and when I turned I saw him. eyes red, hair messy and suit, full of wrinkles. I can smell alcohol from him. He was drunk.
Liam: " why did you stop? Please continue."
He pleaded me in a broken voice . at that moment he was looking so innocent and fragile. I wonder what happened to him in this one month. I nodded and continue reading Quran.
While reading, I took a glance of him and what I saw make me shock would be an understatement . He was...... he was actually..... Lip-sing the words of Quran with eyes closed. I didn't stop. Don't wanted him to stop.
After sometime he put his head on my lap and slept . I kept my Quran on the side table and started brushing his hairs with my hand. I never seen this side of him. He was looking so broken.
' may Allah ease his problems'
After that, I didn't realise when darkness surrounded me .

My phone rang, so I picked it up . A male voice come from it ' be ready we'll kill them one by one' I was terrified, it would be an understatement. And then I heard a gunshot. A bullet came out from the window and it directly hit my........ my father....... I heard a second gun shot....... And second was my mother....... Again, my phone ran. I pick it up. ' next would be your brothers But don't worry, I'll kill them at their most happy moment' I saw my brother were laughing and running here and there playing. Again heard a gunshot, but it missed. My brothers got scared. They came towards me and hugged me. But then I saw them. Man in Black. Having heavy weapons against me who does not even have a knife but two kids hugging me. They shoot one. And he died. I again heard a gunshot when I opened my eyes I saw that the bullet pass from him, he was still alive and the man in black went away. I hold my brother and run for help. But I got late. And he..... he passed away.
I woke up and sat on the bed breathing heavily. Everything....... Was just a dream. But still, I was very scared. I looked around to find that lights are off and I was sleeping on the bed covered with duvet. I checked the time and it was four in the morning.
After that I started sobbing loudly due to the dream. It was horrible. I want to see them. I want to hug them. I want to talk to them.
I don't want that dream to be true. I was still crying. Unable to stop. Then I stood up and did my wudu and started praying tahajud.
I was crying all the while Praying it. I don't know what got me but I couldn't stop myself.
'Ya rab please protect my family. Don't let anything happen to them. Please grant junnat to my family. Please....... Protect them. I don't want anything to happen now. Ya rab please help me finding a way to meet my parents. Ya rab please forgive all my sins and my families too. Ya rab, please help them.'
