Chapter 11: The Month of Ramadan
Ramadan had started ...
I just loved Ramadan and the peace it brings like the whole world just calms down for a while.

Just before Ramadan started Ahmed decided he
will go on the samosa run as he scored a job at Unilever and was ready to
settle down but only after Eid ...My mother was beyond trilled and had a few
girls lined up for him to see.
After what happened to Amy I vowed that I didn't want to get married.
She was 19 at home, divorced and recovering from the lost of her baby and husband .
She had been married for less than 6 months.
That night after my dad rushed her to the hospital to do and DNC trying to save her life as she had internal bleeding ,Amy said she had slipped in the bathroom earlier that day and felt a pain in her stomach but thought nothing of it at that time but I saw the blue marks on her wrist , she was tried to hide under her Abaya sleeves....
She was only 6 weeks pregnant and I feel bad for her , her husband phoned her later and told her not to come back as it was over he couldn't do this anymore ...she won't even speak to me about the whole thing I wish I could comfort her in some way .Her mother says she stays in the room whole day not talking to anyone ...
The rest of my holidays just slipped by, I spent most of my time trying to pray and connect to Allah. I prayed for all the women who were abused and decided to speak to my local MSA to raise awareness on women and child abuse ...
On a happier note I went for my annual Iftar with almost all my high school friends it felt nice to be back with the gang just like old times ...
When went to caminettos towers on sparks road and ordered a huge iftaar - our eyes were bigger than our stomachs

I invited Ayesha,Asma ,and Tasleem from
campus , Yumnah, Sumayah and Safiya who was now
proposed to a guy who she described as tall, had all 32 teeth, a real head of hair,.had a regular
bath, good sense of humor and she couldn't find any complaints with him .
A few other close friends had joined
Zarah who somehow got a video of my flaming cake had everyone in laughter ….
Great I already had the old nosey lady from next door poking her nose in my business now Gori Foi will come and nag my brains....
Tasmiya she was the head girl and a brainiac in high school , defying all laws of our society and was becoming a doctor
Lutifa was the crazy one in our group no wonder she was studying psychology but I loved her any way
Zeenat to be honest scared me ...she was smart and witty she was studying law
Zarah was the clown of the group always making jokes she and Khatija where on campus with me and where study in commerce .
As we broke fast ,it was Zeenat that dropped the ball to let us know she had met someone and was getting married at the end the year
Everyone had a good laugh about my kitchen dilemma as they all passed that cooking class with flying colours .
Campus was starting in a few days and in 2 weeks was eid I couldn't be more excited.
It was after taraweeh at home and we were having dessert when my mother announced my Gori Foi was coming to stay ..she was a widow and stayed in joburg all her children were married, my daadi had fallen ill and staying close by to us ,she want coming to stay for a while to help her since daadis lived in a flat there was no place for Foi to stay there
