"Hellooooooo, helloooo"
I hear a voice and turn around and see a lady waving at me from the garden next to us.
I put the washing down and wave back un surely
..."I'm Pam, your neighbour, you must the new bride" she takes out her hand to shake with me and I walk over
"Hello my name is mehreen im hassans wife" I say shyly
"Oh yes I know Hassan veryyyyy well" she looks at me with a pause and is about to say something
"Mehreen, what are you doing, haven't you finished putting the washing up?" my mother in law walks over to me
"Hello Mrs. Akhtar, how are you?" says Pam "I'm okay thanks" snaps my mother in law and pulls my hand away
"Now hurry and finish what you were told to do, we haven't got all day" and she walks off.
My husband walks towards the garden and my mother in law bumps into him, they pause and talk and glance over at me, I put my head down and take some more clothes out of the bucket to hang, and feel a shiver down my spine.
