Amal:

I went back home to all the family sitting in the living room. Their laughs were heart warming, the mood they were in was comforting and relaxing.

Yadoh was sitting on her arm chair with 3osha on her lap, father was on the floor leaning on a pillow, and then there was Mai & Khalid sitting beside each other.

Me: What's going on?

Father: Come join us, when was the last time we all sat together!?

I put my school bag beside the door and sat down.

Yadoh: Khalid, tell Amal the great news!

Khalid: That's right! Amal I want you to know that Mai's pregnant!

I last time this happened a life was lost, and I was left a baby to raise on my own.

I faked a smile, when in fact I was actually terrified. I loved 3osha, & I'd never want to change history even if I could, but I really was afraid.

Me: That's great news..

The only words I was able to say before I broke down. I ran out of the room and into mine quickly, before they saw my tears.

I know mother's intentions weren't to leave me lost with a child at hand, the choice to death was not in her hands.
I thought of Mai, and I wondered if she was going to do the same to me.
I was scared.

S3eed:

The papers were a done deal, Joojoo was officially mine.

I sat beside Joojoo after our families left us alone, that's when the smile she had on got wiped away.

Joojoo: In school, the more you know the more dangerous you are. I think I hold this power that I'd like to have intact.

I had no idea what she was talking about, so she held my hands.

Joojoo: I don't want anyone to know about us. I think Amal & Salma are enough, no one else has to know.

Honestly, I was offended.

Me: Are you ashamed of me?

Joojoo: I hope you understand, I'm only afraid of what the people have to say about us.

Me: I don't know about that..

Joojoo: Be my secret, just for a while..
