While we were preparing dinner, Masara taught me the Verse of the chair. He said that if I read it before bed, I wouldn't have nightmares because the angels would stay by my side to protect me. So we recite it together.
As I was about to finish reading it, suddenly the doorbell rang. We looked at each other, she hinted at me for me to open the door.
I rushed to the front door. When I opened it, I saw a man standing there. The guy who was always with Vian. Hamza.
Masara is coming. When he saw that Hamza was coming, he immediately ran towards him and hugged him. That's very funny, and I've never seen anything like it.
I felt awkward, I wanted to take my eyes off them. But, seeing them like that looks so beautiful. I was thinking, did I look like that too when I was with Vian? No. gabe. I shook my head not to think about it.
"Masara, I know, I love myself too. But you have to let me go. It's important" he told Masara.
Masara groaned before releasing it. He looked like a child and I smiled.
Hamza looked at me and I saw a glint of pain in his eyes. I was nervous and knew something was wrong.
"Sadiya, you should come with me. Vian, he's fighting. He was fighting with Kevin" he said, and it felt as if someone had stuck a knife into me.
I felt everything inside me freeze. The thought of a wounded Vian began to haunt me.
Hamza nodded at me, inviting me to follow him. I followed him too. I heard Masara screaming to come along, but Hamzah yelled back saying it was dangerous.
What the hell's going on? I hope they won't hurt anyone else.
We walked to Hamzah's car, then got in. I really feel uncomfortable being alone with a man, even though I know he's harmless. I opened the window too. We were silent to each other. I dare not ask anything.
About fifteen minutes later, we stopped in a dark alley. I'm nervous, it's all very dark here. Why did Hamzah bring me here? But I'm sure Hamzah won't mess with me, because I know he loves Masara so much, I trust him. He started walking down that alley. I followed him too.
"Don't be afraid. Look, sister. You have to stay beside me. Don't go anywhere else. Don't leave my side. Dangerous, okay?" he said and I nodded.
We walked further. I saw the light coming from somewhere. We walked there and I saw a lot of people gathered. Especially, men. Big men. Hamzah grabbed my arm, looked at me with an apology, and pulled me inside.
The first thing that struck me was the smell. I smell blood and sweat. I cringed in disdain and looked around. I can now understand what he means by 'dangerous'. It was very dark inside but I could see all the scary faces of those men.
They looked at me hungry. I stepped closer to Hamzah, feeling scared. We walked to a place in the back and entered a large door. There are so many people. I guess I've never seen that many people. They scream and scream.
Hamzah pulled me into the crowd and before I could understand anything, I saw him. Kevin and Vian fight! In the ring! I wanted to move forward, but Hamzah prevented me.
"Ladies and gentleman. If Kevin doesn't stand in three seconds, this match will be won by Vian," I heard a sound from the speakers.
I looked around and everyone counted. Just as they were about to cheer victory, Kevin got up and immediately punched Vian in the stomach so hard that he fell to the floor.
I can't stand to see her anymore. I'm stepping forward. I have to stop this, no matter what.
Just as I reached for the ring, I suddenly felt someone patting my back. I froze. I turned around to see who he was. Kenzos!
He looked at me with a guilty feeling. I hugged him and buried my face in his chest. He hugged her and I felt very safe. After a few seconds I let go of my arm and looked at him.
"Stop them .." I whispered in his ear and he just nodded, before pushing me towards Hamzah, who was standing next to us, then walked into the ring.
I saw Kenzo enter the ring and step between Kevin and Vian who were standing so close. If they don't wear box gloves, I'm sure they'll fight each other. I sighed when I saw Kenzo grabbing Vian's arm and pulling him.
I saw that Kevin was following them, so I followed them too. Of course Hamzah wouldn't let me go alone, he followed me too.
I followed them and saw Vian deliver some punches to Kenzo. Kenzo didn't even flinch. I jerked. I can bear to see Kevin hurt more. But, not with Kenzo, for some reason.
They walked into a room. I keep following them. I half ran to chase them. When I went inside, I saw Kevin sitting down, and Vian standing on the other side. He was arguing in a wooden chair and with Kenzo. I saw Vian raise his hand in the air about to hit Kenzo. I immediately shouted to stop him.
"If you touch her again, I'll never forgive you" I said frankly, trying to sound emotionless.
Kenzo looked at me with wide eyes, but I immediately threw away my face. I feel so sad, it hurts. I closed my eyes. Need it. I need that weird sound. I tried to concentrate, but the sound did not come to make me more angry. I opened my eyes and walked towards them.
"Have you both lost your brains?! What the fuck was that?!" I screamed at them. None of them bothered to tell me, so I turned to look at Kevin.
"You, you're supposed to be the oldest here. After all the things you did to me and Vian, you think you could do something like that? You have a child, you know that?! Do you really want your son to be like you?" I shouted and that's when Kevin stood up very angrily.
"Who do you think you are? What right do you have to talk about my son?" he said it was rude, but Vian immediately interrupted him. Meanwhile, Kevin walked towards me, but I was not afraid. No more. I'm sure, he won't be able to do anything as long as there's Vian here.
"So your mouth is with my wife, Kevin!" I heard someone's voice.
I looked to the side, I saw Vian staring intently at Kevin. My heart beat faster for a while and I felt my face heat up.
