"Every story has a beginning and its up to you to determine where you are going to start, I choose, the beginning" Aiyla

The atmosphere was chaotic, the rain crashing against the roads and roofs of houses, lightning and thunder. Above in one of the houses, seated on the rail of the balcony was her. Ruha.

Her mind was a mess of memories and at that time, when Allah was showering the world with His infinite blessings, she was at peace. It is after all the only time in her life that she can just let go

She sipped her hot coco which had marshmallows in it and smiled. The first genuine smile in a while. They won't know where she is, they never know mostly because she just wants to be free and they are too busy to care

As the velocity decreased,  the force decreased and soon it was all over, it was after all too good to last. She didn't wanna go in there and remember its the first day of holiday, she didn't wanna remember anything just yet but its too much to hope

Her iPhone rang from her pocket and she picked it up, not caring to look at the ID as only one person ever calls her. Her aunt. Amma

"Ruha, where are you? Its midnight and you are not in bed, you have a lot to explain young lady!" Her aunt threatened extremely pissed and worried. Ruha signed. Back to the clutches of reality

"I'm downstairs Amma, I didn't go anywhere, I just wanted a drink, I'm sorry, I'll go to bed right now"

Her aunt huffed "better now go"

She hung up without saying bye and with a final glance back, Ruha went inside to her reality

*

The rays of sunlight slipped through her thick black curtain. The sun was smiling after a beautiful night of serene rainfall. She should feel refreshed but of course the night mares refused to let her be even for one night

Signing she stood up and got ready for the day in simple clothing, she just couldn't stress on what she'll wear. Her laziness made her wear any random sweatpants she found with a woolen shirt and slippers with veil. Definitely no makeup. No offense but she doesn't see any reason why people will suffer through hours of torturous make up, it just makes zero sense but oh well.. Who is she to judge

She went downstairs with her phone to meet the maid serving her cousins breakfast. They were five. Ya Kamal, Adda Salma, Farha, Fawwaz and Manal. Her so called siblings

After muttering her greetings, she served herself some pancakes and syrup and ignored all around her trying to eat her food

"Mummy went to where?" Manal asked  in her baby voice

"Mummy went to pick Jamal" Adda replied her. Ruha stopped eating.... It couldn't be....
