And On Some Days, Hope Was Hopeful

[HAWI]

"Tell me… Are you… Are you Perihan?" Hudhayfah asked hopefully as he looked at the ice cream vending in the middle of the night. 

He knew he was reaching, and just because Farida had mentioned the name Karim couldn't probably mean that she knew him personally, right? Besides, 'Karim' also meant kindness and Farida was a kind woman. 

Everyone in Sicario knew that. Hell, even the ghosts that lingered on the Sicario walls knew of the woman who put so many smiles on the faces of people, so this shouldn't have been surprising to anyone.

"Who is that?" Farida asked, giving the kids their ice cream for the night. She had seen such parties and she knew this one was going to last longer because they had just taken a break from everything horrible that had happened in the past few months.
