Day 30

A boat drove near our boat, and it was not dad and mum's boat. There were no one on the deck except some men standing with automatic weapons watching us. We found out that they were pirates! They shook hands with our smugglers. I thought that they were just friends chatting away. Instead, they dragged people and taken all their valuables. Omar was right, he knew that we would have been abandoned. But i came to know thta they are not after money but instead after girls who are without their parents. I was afraid that they would take Bibi and Rashida along. Bibi and Rashida wore hats and shorts on their heads posing as boys. We played football with our knees as only boys can play football well with their knees. I made him trip when he wanted to kick my ball away. He was teased and laughed at. That moment, he was very angry, he kicked me in my hips and it hurt a lot. Luckily, Bibi did not fight back or they would be exposed. After that, they left the boat and gone away, leaving us on the horizon with a boatful of starving people. The worst has come.....
