Laila's P.O.V

Fajr time arrived as I heard Mohsin getting up, I held my ankle from all the pain when I hurt myself.
I slowly got up. Seeing Mohsin and Mama praying reminded me of the time I was taught how to pray; but that time with my mum.

I gasped as I reached to the small bathroom that was near me.
Looking at Me ,Mama asked "Laila do you need some help?"

I shook my head realising Mama holding her back and crouching down.

As I began to pray, behind Mohsin I felt a sign of relief. Because I was so happy to be in a safe place.

10 minutes later

Finishing my dua , I slowly got up and folded the masala. -prayer mat-

BANG!

On top of he floorboards came the loudest smash ever heard.

Pin drop silence

Mohsin looked at me as Mama gasped with fear.
I looked down.

Then there was a creak.
A creak of someone who hopefully not, but knew we were underneath here.

As I gulped, I signed Mohsin to come with Mama and Hamza closer to me. He nodded and brang Hamza and Mama closer.Him too.

We walked back , barging into a small door that was behind the stained mirror.

I looked at Mohsin.

Then...

The floorboard slowly crept open.
Mohsin gasped as the grabbed onto my arm.
Then he let go of me realising that it was haram to touch a lady who is not married to you or who is known as family to you.

Rushing Into the door, Mohsin Closed it slowly, realising that the Israeli soilder has entered the Safety place.

Mohsin looked at me and then back down. I looked down as I clasped onto the child.

My heart beating so fast.
Then all of a sudden the figure outside said something in another language.

And after many suspensious seconds, the top floorboard shut.
Mohsin looked at Mama and felt her aching arms as he told her to keep calm.

Mohsin peeked through the mirrors door as he start shaking.
"Let's go". He commanded slowly as he took Mama from the hand.
Then we got out and looked around.
Nothing was damaged. At all.
Alhumdullilah.

I questioned why to Mohsin with my head down.
He replied "they didn't destroy anything because they will be back to check everywhere for us"
Mama , Shivering , "Mohsin what are we going to do?"

Mama was suffering with Nemonia and she was very weak at this point that Mohsin decided that it was best to escape at night... But where to?
