Dad carries Bibi and i into Yusuf's grandfather's cellar. i ask him where mum was. He tells us that she went to the city and that she would meet us there tomorrow. He says that she will be fine.
He asks Yusuf what was happening outside and he replies that the street was packed. People are talking about the explosion and wondering where we are. Some are yelling that they have found pieces of us. Yusuf's grandfather says that the tawi is not damaged and that nobody was in the alley. As dad embraces and thanks him, i hand Yusuf my ball and explain what happened to his. Then dad, Bibi and i scurry down the dark alley and get into the taxi. Dad tells us to lie on the floor at the back. We drive off.
