In The Eyes of the Beholder

"Welcome!" Faith's mother opened the door, greeting the kids with a bright smile on her face. "I am so glad that you all could make it."

"It was our honour," Shia said, smiling back at her.

"Well, come on in." She said, stepping to the side as they all flocked into the house.

"We- uh- we brought you something." Ran said, handing her a basket full of fruits and flowers, along with other things.

"You didn't need to do that." She said, taking the basket. "But thank you anyway."

"It's not a problem," Max said, holding Aliya's hand as the two sat down on the couch comfortably.

"Uh … where is Faith?" Aliya asked, clinging to her brother's side.

"She is in the kitchen, helping her father." She said, putting the basket down. "I should call her here."

"Do you need any help?" Shia asked, walking into the kitchen as Aliya fiddled with Max's sleeve.

"Something wrong, Aliya?" Ran asked, sitting beside her.
