BK 2 chapter 8
I've been living constantly with fear of Abdulrahman. He loved me yet that didn't stop him from making my hell.
I sat down idly on my bed, humming an unknown tone while playing with my fingers when I heard him roar my name from the room. My body trembled with fear as I gulped down the anxiety I was feeling.
"SOPHIA" he yelled my name from downstairs. I dropped what I was doing and prayed silently to Allah to give him sabr*. I was scared, I didn't know what had gone wrong because he never called me by my name except if he was angry-- extremely angry. I rushed down the stairs; taking two steps as one. (Patience).
I saw him shaking in rage with a piece of paper in his hand, clenching his fist.
"Take" he gritted his teeth, holding the paper out to me. I didn't have time to stare at him before I collected quickly not wanting to anger him

BK 2 chapter 11 Everything happened in a blur, I felt the tightening in my chest, throat as well as shortness of breath while my hands clammed with sweat.My eyes glued to the spot. Flashback of Yusuf's death replayed back as one of my favorite movies. My body felt like someone was controlling it and that nothing could save me. I just wanted to fade into nothingness. My breathing became shallow and hyperventilating, I began to shake while my mind went black, I was unable to think at all. I felt lightheaded and collapsed on the floor, crying uncontrollably and having breathing difficulties. My hands tensed up and went tingly from lack of oxygen due to hyperventilating.No, I screamed internally in anguish.I felt a warm hand, soothing my back and put me into a hug.

By the time they realized I would not answer their request by opening the door, they left me alone to wallow in my self-pity."Ya Allah!, why?"
