"Ok ma'am, maybe you are right. But what do you want from me? Why have you even kidnapped me?" I asked her annoyed while glaring at her. I couldn't believe I was agreeing with her right now. 

"Oh nothing much baby boy, I just want you to get married to my daughter. And if you agree, I will leave you. As simple as that." She smirked, making me shocked. As I looked at her once again, I realised that she wasn't too old, maybe in her late thirties. And she wanted me to marry her daughter? How old was her daughter again? Was this some kind of child marriage? And what about her daughter's studies and dreams? Didn't she had any? 

Ya Allah! What was even happening? Where was I stuck?

Unexpected Promises

Before I could grab the journal from her because of her inconsistent tears, an incoming call interrupted us. Sighing, I picked up the call and moved away from her, not wanting to disturb the silence surrounding us. 


"Hello, Mr. Saad Ibrahim?" A feminine voice inquired from the other side. 


"I just wanted to remind you that you were supposed to bring Miss. Atifa about half an hour ago. Can you let us know when you will be back?" 


"Y- yeah, we will be back soon. Thank you." Realising it was a call from the hospital where Atifa and ammi were admitted, I replied while glancing back at her, a tired sigh escaping my lips. 


Hanging up the call, I headed back to sit on the bed, wondering if we should take the journal back or leave it here. Finally looking up at me with red eyes, she inquired silently about the call. 


Passing her a soft smile, I informed her. "It was a call from the hospital."
