Nineteen
Little Darling
It was my first time today. I had never seen or heard something so mesmerizing. Is this what you saw whenever you went to Lujain's house?
They called it Salat, which later on translated it to me as Praying.
It was strange, seeing a whole family doing the same exact thing at the same time. And the things that they said, I couldn't understand but it was beautiful.
If you hadn't realized yet, I met Raheem's family. I know last time I said that I would meet the families of your friends, but Raheem got to me before I could speak with his parents.
They are amazing people Little Darling, so warm and sweet. I even met his sister, Lamia. She was really sweet.
She was wearing that headscarf too, she looked so pretty in it. She is the oldest of them all, she said she was engaged to be married and looked so happy.
Who would want to hurt a family so sweet, Little Darling?
The same people who would hurt someone as good as you.
