Everything looked like it was going to be a happy ending for Laila's family. Her mom was happy once the war ended and started to do chores again and much more. She and Tariq were getting very involved together and one can say falling in love. Then all of a sudden the war started up again with different factions fighting among themselves for power. This war makes Tariq get a gun to protect her from anyone. Which is a nice gesture but i'm sure one nobody really wants. We then hear that one of Lailas friends dies in a bombing. This makes Laila cry since she has now lost a friend and her brothers. And then she gets hit with the fact that Tariq wants to flee with his family. Lalia now even more alone is more sad than ever. She lost one of her true friends and kinda just has her parents now. Nobody else.in this war torn state. And then it happens both her parents die in a bombing and she in injury but ends up with Rasheed and Mariam. ALl this happens and now she has no one. She is broken so to say, having lost all her family. She has no safety. Yeah she is with Rasheed and Mariam now who can care for her while she is injured but what can she do now. Just like Mariam she is alone and isolated. Hopefully we see Tariq come back and give her some hope and happiness. Because right now I'm sure she feels just like her mom did when her sons died. I expect a bleak future for her but we just have to wait and see.
