Aisha opens her eyes to see Amira looking down at her
AMIRA
Wake up
Aisha sits up on the bed rubbing the sleep off her eyes
AISHA
Why are you here? Is something wrong?
Amira picks Aisha’s slippers
AISHA (CONT.)
Did you come to check up on me again, I told I won’t do that again? And why are you wearing my slippers for me
AMIRA
I need you to follow me somewhere
AISHA
Where?
AMIRA
You will find out soon
EXT. LUNA’S COURTYARD-MIDNIGHT
They walk into the Luna’s courtyard with the moon as their light. As they walk, Amira hold Aisha’s hand each time, a guard walk toward them and they quickly hides. They walk out of the Khan’s palace into the village. Not long they walk to the entrance of a forest, then Aisha stops walking
AMIRA
Come, let go
AISHA
Where are we going Amira? And at this time of the night at that. I have never been this far from the palace before
Amira walks back to her and pulls her forward by holding her hand
AMIRA
We are almost there, let go. We need to be back to the palace before the first crow
They continue their walk and not long they walk out of the forest and Aisha sees a train track
AISHA
What is this?
Amira looks sad and nostalgic as she talks
AMIRA
Abass found this place
AISHA
Your husband?
AMIRA
Yes, you remember he was a doctor
AISHA
Yes
AMIRA
Before he was a doctor, he has a hobby of walking around the village. During one of his walks, he found this place. Of course he kept it a secret, then he went to school, became a doctor and he came back to this miserable place where he married me. We were so much in love and because of the love he has for me, he could feel how much I wanted to leave this place. On a night with a full moon like today, he brought me here too. A train passes here once a year, at the same date and time, we don’t know where it goes to but it was our only way out.
AISHA
You were going to run away?
AMIRA
Yes we were but few months later, he got sick and died
AISHA
It has been three years, why didn’t you leave?
AMIRA
I couldn’t bear to leave Abass here
AISHA
And why am I here?
AMIRA
Your attempted suicide
AISHA
I told you I won’t try to harm the baby again
AMIRA
You tried to kill yourself
AISHA
I was trying to kill the baby
AMIRA
Even the fact that you want nothing to do with your own baby is a cry of help to me which is why we are leaving before you do more serious harm to yourself
AISHA
What are you saying?
AMIRA
In seven months’ time, the train will pass again. By that time, you would have given birth
AISHA
Are you serious?
AMIRA
Yes I am, you, Nimah, this baby and me, we are all going to leaving this miserable place
AISHA
What about Abass?
AMIRA
He would want me to leave
AISHA
And your mother?
AMIRA
She loves it here
Aisha laughs as tears rolls down her eyes
AISHA
You can’t take this back
AMIRA
I won’t, I promise
PRESENT TIME
