  She was in her thoughts when she felt hands around her and she quickly put back her glass, &quot;Who s that?!&quot; She asked breathlessly and she saw Mujaheed trying to tuck her into the duvet.
  &quot;You might feel cold when you re sleeping, I thought I should cover you up.&quot; He said hesitantly and brought the duvet up to her midriff and stopped, &quot;Sleep well, Fareeda. Don t cry, don t think about anything, just sleep. And also, you aren't going anywhere to make anyone regret.&quot; She was about to argue with him when he took off the glass, folded it and kept it on the bedside drawer, &quot;Please, no more talking. Just sleep, okay?&quot; He said softly and pulled the duvet until her chest was covered. He turned off the light and walked out of the room.
  She wanted to shout at him, tell him that he had no right to do what he just did to her but Fareeda found her lips unabl

  &quot;Nana, get out of my sight!&quot; He thundered, and she knew she had only one resort left now. She ran downstairs and all Fareeda did was closed her eyes as she felt the way he beat her mercilessly. She knew even if she tried to defend herself, it would be of no use because he would never believe.
  &quot;Were you really going to beat her, Fareeda? Isn t she your mother?!&quot; He thundered as she felt more of the cable on her body. She wanted to cry, it pained her but she would rather choke on her breath than cry in front of these two people.
