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.

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?" I sobbed loudly, hot tears streaming down my cheeks with my fingers trembled."These are too much for me, I never pray for these oh Allah" I went on. "Ya Allah, I know this is my challenge, please help me. You are the one who saved prophet Yunus inside the belly of the fish. Please help me. Give me steadfastness,

BK 2 chapter 19 "Are you sure you are going?" mum asked me for the twentieth time today while I hummed in reply.I checked myself in the mirror to see whether I was decent enough to go out. I put on my silver Abaya with my blackhead cape which was shoulder length. I went to the closet and put on a black matching wedge and bag."Won't you apply makeup?" mom asked, trailing behind me worriedly."No mom, I'm not putting," I replied to her."What is lip gloss or mascara?" she asked rhetorically."Mom" I groaned, "you know I don't do all that. I'm beautiful like this and how will I apply it when I'm not wearing a niqab?" I told her softly. "And I'm not going to the party" I looked everywhere but not her."What!" she shouted, making me cringed. "Then where are you going?" she glared at me.
