I thought I already knew pain.

"Get up!Get properly dressed and follow me." My brother had gone to visit my aunt only hours <a class="tc-blue external-link" href="https://ago.Now" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">ago.Now </a> he was back,barking orders at us. "What happened?Where are we going?"My sister and I chorused. His next words shattered us completely.A cold sharp ache spread through my chest. "Amina is <a class="tc-blue external-link" href="https://dead.She" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">dead.She </a> had an accident."He muttered. "Be fast about the clothes ,we don't have all <a class="tc-blue external-link" href="https://day.Our" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">day.Our </a> relatives are waiting for us."His voice <a class="tc-blue external-link" href="https://cracked.It" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">cracked.It </a> was the voice of a man trying not to break.A voice holding back an ocean. Amina was my favourite <a class="tc-blue external-link" href="https://cousin.Infact" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">cousin.Infact </a>,she was everyone's favourite <a class="tc-blue external-link" href="https://person.She" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">person.She </a> was such a gentle soul.A very beautiful young lady in her early 20's-always smiling,always cheerful and full of <a class="tc-blue external-link" href="https://life.Children" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">life.Children </a> loved her. And just like that,i lost her to the cold hands of death on a sunny Saturday <a class="tc-blue external-link" href="https://afternoon.She" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">afternoon.She </a> had gone out to see a friend she hasn't seen since ages before her mom got back home from <a class="tc-blue external-link" href="https://work.She" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">work.She </a> had been asking for permission for weeks but my aunt kept postponing it. So,she slipped out,planning to be back before anyone noticed but fate had other <a class="tc-blue external-link" href="https://plans.Unfortunately" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">plans.Unfortunately </a>,she got hit by a reckless driver and died on the spot. When we got to where her body lay,I couldn't help but collapse on the floor and screamed until my voice gave <a class="tc-blue external-link" href="https://out.My" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">out.My </a> sister broke down beside me.I kept praying to God to wake me from this <a class="tc-blue external-link" href="https://nightmare.But" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">nightmare.But </a> there her body laid,lifeless, refusing to move an inch. Our tears were so intense that my mother had to hold us in her arms and comfort us,even as her own were <a class="tc-blue external-link" href="https://falling.She" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">falling.She </a> tried to be our strength when we had none. That was literally the worst day of my life.I had never lost a loved one <a class="tc-blue external-link" href="https://before.The" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">before.The </a> pain was too much to name.I had a pounding <a class="tc-blue external-link" href="https://headache.My" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">headache.My </a> eyes burned red.I cried until i had nothing left,yet the tears kept coming.I was tired of crying and wanted it all to <a class="tc-blue external-link" href="https://end.It" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">end.It </a> only seemed to get worse. And before that day,I thought I knew pain.
