Being afraid to pray in public
The train was crowded. There were several people trying in the compartment to fit their boxes into their layers. I doubted whether to say my three hail Maries kneeling down, spreading my arms in cross shape or just pray them quietly in my bed. The six bunk-beds were slowly getting filled. While I was struggling with my thoughts my stout mate brought out a small carpet, spreaded it on the ground and started worshipping Allah towards what he tought it was the orientation to the Mecca. I was flabbergasted at the sight.
Immediatelly I came down from my bunk bed, I knelt down and I prayer my Three Hail Maries of the Purity out loud... with my arms in the sape of cross, as my mother had taught me.
