SANDRASTER

"Tring!" telephone rung. "Coming," a soft, quick voice ended up picking up the telephone placed on the wooden with tall legged table." Hi Burnet, it's me Jasmine," A voice came from the other side of the telephone. "Heyy Jasmine." It's been a long time see you," In an excited tone she replied. Hence the talk begins. She just stood by the wall talking for several minutes. Call ended on the Burnet's words" Yes, my beloved best friend I'll surely visit you this month for few weeks." She hanged the call by looking at the smiley on the wall and walked away.

A cafe named "Lolly Polly." On a busy road in the evening. A mature black lady, much nicer than her fatness was busy on the counter when Burnet went and asked for a couple of minutes in return she just smiled back. At the other moment they were sitting. "You need something," the black lady asked. "Yes." Burnet answered by narrowing her eyes and then again making them normal continued "advice." Lady sighs with "as usual, what it's about?" "I'm going to meet Jasmine," Burnet using more her hands and expressions to make lady remember. By raising her eyebrows, the lady replied, "Oh yes yes that Jasmine who lives in SAND....um WES?" burnet corrected by pronouncing it "SANDRASTER, so I'm here to say goodbye as I am leaving tomorrow early in the morning." Lady hugged her by interrupting her lines "I'm not gonna miss you, have a safe flight." Burnet gave a laugh with goodbye.

The bus stopped, and passengers got off one by one. Burnet too followed the down steps from the bus. As she got out in a ripped jean with a short hoodie, her curly hairs swung in the air as she looked up to the boy who took his suitcase. "Hi I'm Jack, Jasmine twin." Introduced himself with a gentle smile. He was a young man with a fresh, brown hairs. They came home with a jeep Jack was driving. The city doesn't seem overpopulated but well-shaped as houses weren't haphazard. Broad streets with wooden houses. The environment feels friendly until she noticed that everybody staired her while the jeep passes through them. So, she starts checking herself which made the jack laughed and cleared her "you are looking completely fine... it's just your dressing is different. Here she noticed the traditional dresses of the women wearing (a long frock with a scarf)

Finally, they arrived home, it was the same small wooden house with a balcony outside the door. She took two steps up crossing the balcony, entered the door when she heard a scream of Jasmine "mom she arrived." Soon they were sitting on the dining table when Jasmine's mom served the delicious food. They all were chatting suddenly they heard voice of shooting gun and people screaming. they all immediately ran towards the balcony where Burnet was unable to believe on her eyes that a poor couple with around 8 years old child is asking for help while followed by the soldiers on jeeps with nonstop shooting.

Burnet turned her face with shocking expressions towards jasmine, " why nobody doing anything to stop?" In return her mom replied "sshh , it's none of our business." She looked the other family members for hardly 2 minutes and left the house with disagreeing "no I can't let them kill those innocent family" When she ran to the ground in front of the houses, all stares shifted towards her. now she was standing alone in the middle shouting to stop but nobody damn cared. The soldiers were passing by her sides while she ran towards the jeep coming and stood Infront of it. Fortunately, it stopped just one step away from her. An armed man with a broad chest stepped out of the jeep. His body shape and tunic clothes explaining his power. He stood face to face with Burnet. A scream made Burnet turn "come back." It was from Jack. She turned again to the man who was now pointing a gun towards her. He just saw the into her blue eyes. Everyone's breath stopped with that voice of shoot when he pressed the trigger.
