Anniyah's POV:
A hundred thoughts are in my mind, as I will start secondary school today. I feel very anxious; though at primary school I didn't have many friends. Another thing was that Anniyah's mother had passed away. She remembered it as clear as glass. Anniyah, Abid, Salika and their mother had gone to Pakistan on holiday. Anniyah was excited to see her paternal family after a long time.
Pakistan:
The sun was shining bright, but that was nothing as Anniyah and her cousins spent time enjoying together. However, Anniyah's mother said to her: " I am just going to the hospital, I am coming back." Naive Anniyah replied "ok, but what both mother and daughter did not know was this was the last time they would see each other. Later, loud anxious voices filled the house as decisions were made regarding the janazah. Anniyah looked at her mother's sleeping form, looking like an angel as tears fell from Anniyah's eyes. There would always be the absence of her mother. Some time later, her paternal uncle also passed away. After this, Anniyah's father was getting remarried. She was asked by her father if she was ok with it, to which she agreed. Months flew by and Anniyah's stepmum was in England now.
Chapter 2:
Anniyah was ok with it, her life was moving forward. She had good friends who were always there for her; such as Sarah, Charice and Jenna. School had flown by, Anniyah was now doing her GCSE'S; she was worried about exams they were never something she liked.
