Chapter-17

A day out

Aalia was sitting on her study table, scribbling on a paper releasing her emotions. She felt sleep deprived. She looked at time. It was 4:30 am. Her tears were no longer with her. She looked herself in the mirror. Her face and eyes were still puffy. Aalia got up and walked to the bathroom. She stood under the shower for a while. The hot water washed through her body eliminating stress and anxiety. She closed her eyes.

After taking a long shower, she wore her pajamas and layed on the bed. Water was dripping from her hair. But she didn't mind to dry it up with a towel. Her phone has been switched off till last night.

'It's better this way.' She thought.

She was supposed to be trying to hide her puffy face. But she was too tired to do so. She opened her cupboard.
