Excerpt from a story I’m writing
*FLASHBACK*
KNOCK KNOCK
"Amina get the door, hon" Dad says.
I open and see him there. I cant even bare to say his name anymore, that's how much I dislike him.
I unlock the door, even though I so badly want to shut it in his face, and sat back down at the dining table where I was doing my homework. Mum came out the kitchen and asked "Who came?"
Before I could answer, he came in and screamed, "MA!!!" and gave her a bear hug.
"Muhammad..." she said confused. "What's that smell? Where have you been? Its almost midnight?"
"Oh Ma! I've missed you so much!" he said with tears in his eyes.
"Oh I missed all of you!" he said now laughing.
"What's wrong with you!" I said as he was pinching my cheeks. Something was up and he reeked of cigarette or something. Dad came and said the same thing mum said.
They both ordered me to go upstairs to my room. I wanted to argue back but somehow I knew this was not the right time to talk back to my parents. I went upstairs and tried to listen...
I heard dad screaming and Muhammad yelling back and then crying and then laughing again. Wow something was wrong with this guy. What did he eat? And why did he reek of smoke? I had so many questions in my head. But finally everything went quiet downstairs and all I could hear where mum's soft sobs...
