"Amal, I'm so proud of you"one of her many aunt says while pinching her cheeks making her pout

"Please let go auntttt" Amal whines wanting her aunty to let go of her cheeks

"Oh shush you love me so thank me" she says letting go Amal grin

"Thank you aunt" Amal says with a grin her aunt smiles before yelling

"can you not touch the meat zaid?" her aunt yells at one of Amal's cousin making Amal to shake her head at them,they were having a family party over at her house why?...because...of her graduation...and apparently that is a big deal in her family.

"Amal come and meet my aunt, my sister" Amal could hear her mom call out to her making her spin on her heals.

"sister? Oh aunt maryam! " Amal almost yells as she embraces her aunt who always came over to visit.

"My sweetheart, I was at the graduation and you were so good" Her aunt states making Amal grin

"Thank you, where is Sakeena?" Amal asks curiously not seeing her cousin anywhere close near her mother as she usually was but then she noticed the sad look on her aunt's face.

"She was shot dead while trying to attend to one of the patients in Syria during one of the shootings around her area" her aunt says with a sad smile

"Innalilahi wanina ilaihirajuun(which means 'we surely belong to Allah and to him we shall return')"Amal gasps in shock her aunt just gives her a fake smile that hurts Amal

"Oh my God,i'm so sorry aunt maryam!" Amal says before embracing her aunt who hugged her back

"It's fine who am I to question fate? Ans besides she is resting now so nothing to worry about" She says with a sad smile Amal smiles back or tries too.

"But You are staying here right?" Amal asks

"Of course not" her aunt says giving a laugh in disbelief

"But you will be safer here" Amal states

"I can't run away from my whole life Amal, terrorists or not" she says with another laugh making Amal frown which life?, if you are already at risk of dying every day, she is still surprise that anyone would want to live that kind of live!.

"But you can start here too, It wouldn't not so hard, no challenges or fears, just you starting a new safe life" Amal says holding her aunts hand wanting her to say yes pressuring her making Safia Amal's mom to frown.

"Amal leave it at that" Amal's mom states sternly making her daughter let out a sigh before walking away grumbling under her breath, but a hand stops her from walking making her frown, she looks up and the owner of the hand.

"Oh it's you, What's up?" Amal asks with a grin

"Can you please please please hold Ali for a minute?, that is only if you want to" Azad asks with her eyes begging her sister to please not say no she looked stressed.

"If you mean for maybe an hour or two or even more than that then I don't mind, he is just so cute for me not too ageee" Amal says with a grin making her sister eyes to widen in happiness and relief

"Thank you !,You're the best I swear,also just so you know, you can take him for days if you want too, I know I gave birth to him but sometimes i need a break from his loud ass cries,just don't tell your brother in law I said that in front of Ali" Azad says wrinkling her nose as she pointed towards the direction Abtal was standing with some relatives of hers making her sister laugh but nod in understanding,
Making Azad to say thanks to her again before she walks away from her sister and her son while Amal looks down at the baby boy in her hand who was looking up at her with curiosity in his eyes, she cooed at him before she started to make her way upstairs to lay and chill with her nephew.
