Summary next part in Faith hard childhood.

Authors note: it was after writing this I came up with the idea…

The little hand reached the basket on the nightstand. Carefully and utterly slowly the basket was pulled down. On the floor a girl laid she hadn't begun school yet but would soon. She looked around in the basket there were small packages with something plastic and round in; there were lipsticks and hairpins. And there it was! Carefully with shining eyes she picked up the royal blue object. She pulled it between her fingers and smiled. Care fully the basket was placed on the nightstand again and the girl sneaked away.

In the bathroom she began. With the fingers wide spread she let them flow through the dark hair. With one hand she patiently collected her hair in the other hand. She took her mother's hairband and secured the hair. She heard her mother shout through the boiling water in the kitchen. When she entered the room she looked out through the window.

A wonderful vision meat her and tomorrow she would be a part of it, tomorrow when her curfew was over. Her mother looked up and saw her. But mum didn't smile and say

'How pretty you are!'

No she screamed

"Are you going to destroy your hair? Do you want it to hurt when you comb it tonight? Do you really want to stay inside an other month?"

She continued with words that even little Faith new was forbidden, taboo. Her father had never used that kind of words. But mother did, every time she got angry. She didn't understand she hadn't done any thing wrong. When Elize her friend had done her hair pretty her mother had been angry. But her self she had only done a ponytail.

The girl looked out through the window it was couldy and wet after the rain. The tall concrete building was no longer beautiful and it would be a long time before the girl could go out and play while mother was standing in the window looking after what she did.

Every thing she could do was to keep her faith and dream looking out, out through the window.
