Day Five..

We were already in the village. Bibi was supposed to be a boy. Her hair was tucked into Yusuf's hat andd she was wearing my jacket. Her skirt was rolled up too. When we realise that Mom's shutters were close and that Dad's taxi wasn't there, i thought that we would be able to get Bibi back before anyone realised that she was gone.
Suddenly, Mr Nasser bellows in a furious voice! I tell Bibi to run, however he grabbed her by her shoulder. Yusuf's hat started to slip of her head and her skirt could drop down from under my jacket! Luckily, Mr Nasser did not notice anything. He started to accuse us of breaking his window though. But we did not! Even after we denied, he did not believe us. Yusuf told him that i had too much skill to break his wimdow. I took the ball and did some stunts. Unfortunately, the ball flies off my foot and into Mr Nasser's other window and shatters the glass! Mr. Nasser started to bellow like a bull! He wanted to call the police too. I started apologising a million times when Dad's taxi pulled up. He picks up the ball, grabs me by the ear and apologises to Mr Nasser. He manages to convince him that the involvemnet of police is redundant. That is when he notices Bibi but does not show his shock. Bibi is furious. As we take our leave, Mr Nasser demands for the payment of the broken windows and written apologises. He drops off Yusuf at his street and says that he would talk to his grandfather later. We could all see that Dad was really angry.

Day Four..

I am grateful to not hear any bangs. I pray to not let any of Bibi's legs be blown off. When i reached her and Yusuf i decide that there is only one thing to do. After convincing her,I slide my foot onto the mine as she slowly slides hers off. We hold each other tightly to see what happens. Nothing; the mine does not explode. Like he was told Yusuf takes Bibi home. Bibi gives me a hug and then hurries off with Yusof.
After awhile, i hear her yelling my name and see her running towards me. "I DON'T WANT TO LEAVE YOU!" To my horror, she flings her arms around me and burries her face in my chest! We sway! We totter! WE FALL! We were clinging to each other screaming our heads off before we realised that we were not dead. The metal plate on the mine had not flippped! I take Bibi in her arm and drag her towards the village feeling so faint, sick and dizzy. WE SURVIVED!!

Day Three..

I managed to convince Bibi that Yusuf needs her help. She did not argue because she always helps a friend in need. I like that quality of Bibi and i'm proud of her. After she set off clearly, i have no heart to leave my precious ball. I shout at the tank countless times although i knew it was a silly thing to do. Fortunately, the tank backs away! I quickily grab my ball and watch the tank shudder towards the horizon. Maybe it wasn't a silly thing to do afterall :)
Suddenly, i hear Bibi's piercing scream, followed by Yusuf's high-pitched voice..."YOUR SISTER HAS STEPPED ON A MINE!"
