Someone should answer this riddle😬

We hurt without moving
We poison without touching
We bear the truth and the lies
We are not to be judged by our size

What are we?☺☺

The one who gets the correct hansa "says JenifaπŸ˜‚" will get a reward.πŸ˜‰

Ahmad..

How could I be so stupid?

What I feel right now is inexplicable.

What if what she told me is not a set up?

It sounds so surreal.

Who am I going to believe?

No it can't be true,Safaa is too innocent to behave that way and she will never let me know if she's really at fault.I was harsh on her after she narrated the story because I felt so heartbroken,she has not yet trusted me,she's afraid I won't stay with her through thick and thin and I have to correct that.

A lot of people believe that happiness exists in a matrimony when couples tell everything to each other,when they are open about their feelings and know that they'll work through whatever it is together.

I can't blame her for not understanding completely what it means to be married.

She's so young and naive.

Ya Allah.

And she must be shattered because of that envelope.I wish I could hug her,comfort her and tell her everything will be alright,but I need someone to tell me the same too.

I feel miserably lost and broken.

I almost bump into Mommy when I furiously left the room but she didn't say a word to me,She tapped my shoulder reassuringly knowing that I was battling with my emotions and I was thinking of a way to get to the bottom of it all.

And the first idea that popped inside my hazy mind is going to Rigar Dala as soon as possible.I have to find Moudu,clarify some things and get justice for my wife,if really he did all of these things without her consent.

Astagfirullah.

Why do I even think Safaa will allow anything as nasty as that to come between her and that filthy idiot.

I grabbed my car keys and drove in full speed out of the house,I picked up Ma'aruf because am in no shape to drive and we left for the village together.

I parked my car in front of Grandpa's house first upon our arrival.I didn't even inform anyone about coming and so Grandma got startled thinking something bad happened and I came to inform her or take her with me.

"Grandma calm down"

"Everyone is fine,though not everything is" I added.

"Ahmadu are you talking to me in riddles now? Tell me why you came here suddenly,Ya Ilahi don't tell me something bad happened to Safaa,I had a nightmare dama,shikenan kawai" She said already wiping some tears.

"Safaa is fine,not so fine though" I whispered the last part.

"Dude you're making the old woman worried,can you stop talking in riddles or whatever she called it" Ma'aruf begged.

"Inna I came to look for Moudu,I have something serious to ask him"

"Moudu kuma?" She sniffed wiping her tears with the end of her wrapper.

"Yes,actually he delivered something to me and Safaa stumbled on it first,it contains something only him can clarify"

"Turqashi" She mused looking distant.

"So grandma do you have an idea where I can find him?" I asked.

"Ahmadu He left with his whole family three days ago,nobody knows where they are"

"Subhanallah" I panicked.

"I had rumours that Moudu is now very rich and that he took his family away to the town ko Amurka ne"

"Ya Allah" I mumbled.

"Care to tell your granny why you're so disturbed?"

"Oh Granny..." I began and told her exactly what Safaa told me.

"Kai Ahmadu,you're so stupid" She bellowed smacking my arm.

"Ouch" I yelped massaging the place.

"How could you leave my granddaughter alone in that situation? You don't know Safaa,she must be blaming herself for everything now"

"But Grandma..."

"Don't say a word,just stand up and go back to her,she might hurt herself,she's young and I must say sometimes stupid"

"Granny what do you mean by that" Ma'aruf asked already panicking too.

"Listen my child,when a woman loves you so much and you don't stand by her when this kind of thing occurs,she will have no reason to live..."

"Safaa loves you regardless of how your Mom hates her,she agreed to marry you,she's okay with being hated by her mother In law probably forever,She believes she can endure everything just for you,She's rare, cherish her,If you don't,you will regret it all later"

I listened to rest of grandma's sermon by the door,Why did I say such hurtful words to Safaa,what got into me? I should be called the inexperienced one when it comes to standing by each other.

What if Grandma is right? Safaa might hurt herself?.

With that on my mind,I sprinted towards the car and waited for Ma'aruf who wanted to say a proper good bye to my granny.

🌴🌴🌴🌴🌴🌴🌴

Safaa..

I am the worst woman being on earth.I see no future for me and there's no answer to everything in my life,this is worst than being scolded by my Baba,when I get scolded by him,I feel like am drowning and there's a torturous creature waiting for me right inside the water,Shatu always help to bring me out of my shallow thoughts,but Shatu is not here,no one is here.

Mommy left after reassuring me that everything will be alright but then the house got so quite that I feel like those victims in a horror movie.I prayed Ishaa and tried eating dinner but the picture of me in Moudu's arms and of his lips in mine sent me running to the ensuite to pour out all the contents of my stomach.

Ya Allah why wasn't I born in a place without someone like Moudu?

Astagfirullah.

I got tired of staying alone in an empty house,I had no maids yet,there's no one to keep me company,I'm not even sure whether my husband will come back home so I grabbed a long Hijab from my closet and decide to walk down to Abidah's house,it's not so far from ours and staying alone makes me feel like committing something everyone will regret.

"Madam welcome o,do you need anything" The gate man asked.

"No I don't need anything,I just want to go somewhere"

"But it's late fa,don't make me lose my job Madam I beg you"

"Don't worry please,I will be okay" I assured him getting outside of the house.

I left him muttering some things quitely probably complaining that am so stubborn.I saw no car and no human being on the road.What kind of place is this? I continued walking sneakily though very lost,I kept reciting some dua's.

The night is still young yet very spooky and windy,I heard someone behind me and almost let out a loud shrill,but not wanting to attract the attention of most of the gatemen I kept walking in strides.

Just when I thought I'm safe,two hefty men blocked my view and because my instinct is sometimes really active,it told me to run as fast as I could away from them.

I ran away without knowing which path is for Abidah's house anymore and they almost caught up on me.I got out of breath and needed to stop but seeing them closely behind me,I continued running breathlessly and just when I thought I'm safe,a certain car whose lights blinded my view entirely almost hit me.

Making me let out a loud shrill before passing out right in front of it.

And this brings us to what the Indians say "Intermission"
