"MOM!!!" A female voice yelled from the corner of house, being echoed through the entire house.

"MOM! WHERE IS MY PHONE!?" The same voice echoed again. Now the girl came out of her room, checking every corner to find where her phone was.

A woman came of the kitchen, cleaning her hands with her veil. She looked at the girl saying,"How am i supposed to know that when i am in the kitchen all day?"

The girl frowned and kept on looking for her phone. Just then the bell rang. The girl went to open the door and saw that it was her father.

"Good evening, dad." The girl greeted and the father replied with a short tired smile.

"I am preparing the dinner. It will be done soon. You should go freshen up." The mother said to her husband.

The husband was too tired from work to even process any word out so he just layed on the couch after a long day. The girl turned on the switch and her father sighed in relief as the cool breeze hit his face.

Dinner was served on the dining table and and everyone came to eat.

"Allif!!! Come out and eat!!" Mother yelled and a teenage boy came out with headphone on his ears.

They all sat down to eat and the mother set everything in fron of them. The father told his son, Alif to put down his earphones which he did not even bother to listen to. He looked away to his food instead.

After eating, they all went to their own rooms. The mother was in the kitchen washing the dishes.

"Shayla!!" The man called out his wife from their bedroom.

Shayla finished everything, switched off the lights and went to their shared bedroom.

"Yes?" Shayla said.

"Where do you put my medicines!? I told you not to touch them!" The man asked angrily, trying to find his medicines.

"It is not my fault if you left them on the bed." She replied with annoyance in her voice.

"Still don't touch them. Don't do anything that i warned you about!" The man yelled. "WILL YOU GIVE ME MY MEDICINES NOW YOU IDIOT?"

His voice could be heard from miles away. Yet, he did not try to calm down and just kept on glaring at his wife.

Shayla, with much annoyance, went to the bed-side stand and pulled his medicines out from the drawer. As soon as she got her hands on his medicines, he snatched it away from her, making her startle a little, which was a not-so-rare-sight to witness.

He took his medicines in one gulp and layed on the bed. With that, his wife layed down beside him.

It was around midnight. Shayla was still awake while her husband was fast asleep. She slowly got out of the bed and walked across the room to the bathroom.

She went into her bathroom, locking it carefully so she would not wake her husband up.

Looking at the mirror in the bathroom, she lifted her dress, making her scars visible. She checked her wounds again before applying cream to them.

She winced everytime she touched her wounds.

It is like they pierced into her soul.
