Chapter 56

  THE ENCOUNTER

  Thursday 12:00 pm

  "Ma, sir, your time is up," The officer said moving close to take Salamat.

  "Wumi, don't forget all we told you," Mrs. Ade said patting her on the back.

  "Ok, mum", Salamat responded.

  "Good girl" her mother smiled at her.

  Salamat walked quietly back to her cell with the police officer behind her. She didn't know how she was feeling. She was not happy. And she was not sad.

  But one thing was sure, she was worried and scared of what the future holds for her.

  She was on the verge of giving up. She questioned her Creator for always bringing difficulties her way. Her problems were always coming one after the other and they always have a connection to her past.

  The past she has been trying so hard to forget. The past she has been trying so hard to move on from.

  The past keeps resurfacing. It kept showing its ugly face, scaring away beautiful moments and bringing nothing but mishaps.
