Chapter 09: Al Masmak Fortress

Greetings…. Excuse me..

Can you please tell me where is Al Masmak Fortress.. Amina asks a man in the city…

He nodded his around and showed directions to Amina…

They both followed his directions…

The Al Masmak fortress is made out of clay or mud like bricks.. it looks very enchanting…

It is square shaped Fortes…

We will enter this fortress.. the Black shadows asks Amina..

Nope this fortress is controlled by the House of Rasheed…. We will have to wait beside the Palm tree located nearest to the fortress….

 Lets wait…. until its little quiet and dark…

The fortress is heavily guarded by the guards..

The place got darker and looked bit different.. Amina signaled to him to be quiet…

A small boy came close to them…

Jihan… how are you? I am fine.. how are you …

I am fine.. Amina replied at the little boy…

Jihan… where is Fatema and Master..

…they will be very upset if they see me like this.. Fatema will beat me..

Don't worry…Fatema is not here…

(The little boy looked happy… A small boy probably 8-10 years old, with little clothes.. he looked very poor and skinny….)

Amina apa.. who is this?

Amina smile.. he is my friend.. he is an angel.. send us to help…

The eyes of the small boy glitched.. Probably with some unknown faith.. as their good days are near…

Amina followed the boy with Black Shadow..

The passed through a very small door behind a big palm tree..

The door is so small that even the Black Shadow had hard time to enter….

The other side of the house is small… there was women…

Hello, Amina.. .. why did you came here?... (the women looked dazzled..)

Fatema will murder us if she finds out... (The women was fuming)

Don't worry … Mom.. look … Amina brought a friend.. who will help us…..

No one can help us… no one can survive or escape from Hakim…

Amina replied softly… don't you worry.. we just need to meet Anwar..

We will talk with him.. then we will disappear….

Ok…then.. freshen up both of you…

You have made a journey.. .. Eat dinner with us and then take some rest…

I will make all the arrangement by midnight… The women said to Amina.

It's a small house..

There are nothing much in the house..

The Black shadow took a bath in the hot water..

After that the Black Shadow was really surprised..

Jihan and his mother looked very poor..

But they have made quiet an arrangement…

(Fresh fruits, vegetables, bread, meat, milk and even honey…)

Everything was so delicious and fresh..

Amina thanked Jihan's mom and gave some golden pieces from her bag…

How did you get those….?! The women wondered…

Thanks .. Thanks a lot Amina.. you are so kind….

After the dinner the Black Shadow were told to sleep in a bed..

The bed it too tiny for his size..

Probably it could be Jishan's bed…

But its relaxing.. his eyes eventually closed….
