Thank You

I went home today after dinner. It was at 11.35 am. I saw not a single person on the street and only 2 cars passed by. It was really empty! And as usual – I was scared! I was scared of passing the small street to the backyard of my house. The street was even emptier and much darker than the main road. There was only one light at one of my neighbor’s backyard and the rest of the street was really dark. What if there were somebody stopping me and attacking me?!?

Just when I was about to reach my backyard, I looked up and stared the sky. There were so many stars lighting up the sky. They were beautiful! I never realized that you could actually see stars in Eindhoven!

Suddenly, I wasn’t afraid anymore. I smiled. Thank you, Allah, for accompanying me and making me feel so much better.
