Chapter 23: chapter 23:

I felt my backache and hurt. I was lying on something hard and cold while hugging a thick book to my chest.

"What time was it?" I thought, 

Oh no! I hope it's not 1 AM yet. 

I sat and looked around it was dark. All I can see is the Quran between my hands lights up by the midnight light moon.

I smiled, I slept while reading the Holy Quran. What a blessing?

I looked at the clock and it was 00:50 AM, 10 minutes to go.

I wore my praying clothes, an over-sized abaya, and a long scarf hiding almost all my upper part.

I put my phone inside my bra, just in case.

Good Luck Zina, I said to myself while taking a deep breath. I was shaking in fear, but I needed to do that.

I did a silent prayer again before opening the door of my room, ready to face him.

OMAR
