Chapter 30.Mahmoud
Main Events
The thrilling moment of the sea journey
Mahmoud's family and other refugees boarded a simple rubber boat. The
overloaded boat was swaying on the sea, and danger could come at any
time.
On the way, the ship encountered a storm, and the waves hit the hull
violently, making the people on the boat terrified.
Everyone fell into the sea, and Mahmoud felt panic and scared.
In the chaos, Mahmoud's family was forced to make a painful decision-they
must separate to increase the possibility of survival. Mahmoud put his sister
on the strange ship they met by chance.
