I know its hard to move on
But love isn't easy I know
When people get hurt overtime
but they still tryna Stay
The more that I see
all the pieces in parts,
I realized how love raised me up,
Away from the Kid that I used to be


Enveloped in the room's yellow light, Tahera appeared much paler.

"It was only a minor accident. Even the doctor said it's nothing serious. I'll be fine after a few days of rest," she didn't want to reveal more than that lest it worried her uncle, "Uncle, your body is still weak, so why aren't you in bed?"

Rahim Hussain had a kidney disease. Plus, his work as a general cleaner meant that he had to sleep early to catch his morning shift.

"I had a bad feeling because you were out so late, and you see, something bad did happen to you," Rahim said agonizingly, "Weren't you already in an accident six years ago? Isn't that enough? Looks like God really has it out for the Hussain Family..."

It was hard to argue with Rahim's logic because things truly hadn't been great for the Hussain Family.

Her father died, she lost her memory after a car accident, and even her marriage ended in a divorce.

When they were down on their luck, Rahim contracted a renal disease and his monthly dialysis ate into their already pitiable family account.

However, to spare his family the additional expense, Aaban chose to continue his study at a local state school. The fees were much lower but it greatly restricted his otherwise bright future.

Today she got into another car accident so her uncle was understandably upset at God for treating the Rahman Family this way.

However, Tahera was secretly thankful because the accident had brought her back her memory.

"Uncle, look at me, I'm really fine so don't you worry. Furthermore, it is thanks to today's accident that I recovered my memory. So, I'm sure things will be looking up for the Hussain Family very soon."

Both Rahim and Aaban were equally surprised.

"Sis, are you serious?!"

Tahera nodded, "Why would I kid about something like that? I couldn't contribute to this family previously because I knew practically nothing, but from now on everything will change."

"Yay, Sis. You finally got your memory back!" Aaban cheered. He was twenty years old now but he would always be a child in Tahera's mind.

However, he quickly thought of something and his smile turned awkward.

On the other hand, Rahim Uncle who had a more naïve outlook on life was overjoyed for Tahera's sake. He didn't have the mindfulness to realize how Tahera's recovered memory might have impacted how she viewed her misery for the past few years.

But Aaban had the empathy to intuit that the contrast between the years before Tahera lost her memory and the past few years must have been difficult to stomach.

To be frank, it was difficult for Tahera to accept initially. However, she was not one to dwell on the past. She collected herself quickly.

Tahera claimed tiredness and retreated to her bedroom for her Isha Prayer after a few more words with her family. Uncle Rahim also went to bed.

While praying she said, "My Almighty ALLAH! In those years when I lost my everything you helped me. You gave me hope to live. And today you made my memories come back. I'll be always greatful to you for that. ALLAH please give me strength so that I can continue my war against those Evil people."
