Episode 4

My name is Hassan, and I came to inform you about something.

***

Okay, what is it? My mom  asked.

It's about your husband's fabric shop.

What about it? My mom asked.

The government wants to build a recreational centre there, at that premises that his shop is located. So, for the past 2 months now, the government has been giving warning, that all shop owners should vacate the premises.

Just this afternoon, the government officials came with their excavators and bulldozers to demolish the shops around that premises.

Right now as I'm talking to you, your husband is admitted in the hospital. We were made to believe that he has cardiac arrest, and since we're neighbors (I and your husband) and he has been nothing but nice to me, I deemed it fit to come and inform his family about this new development.

Immediately after Mr Hassan finished his speech, my mom passed out.

At this moment, I didn't know what to do. My head was spinning, I didn't know if I was to cry, or follow my mother to pass out, I was just confused, but then, I had to maintain my composure.

I thanked Mr Hassan for informing us on the situation with my dad, then I asked Kaima to bring water to wake my mom up.

Afterwards, I saw Mr Hassan off to the gate. Living in that house, has been a bunch of hell for us. It's always one problem everyday. Not just that, another issue is the strange occurrences that happens repeatedly every night.

Can we actually survive in this challenging and horrific situation?

To be continued…

Happy Thursday famz ❤️🌹
