A Familiar Face

"Token number 641!" A voice resounded through the hall as Ki'Nha gently shook Re'Kha awake, watching her sit up with a start. She rubbed her back, "It's alright, it's alright. They are calling you."

"Eh? Ah!" Re'Kha regained clarity as she stood up in a hurry, wincing in pain. Ki'Nha accompanied her to one of the rooms on the side; after seeing their token number, a nurse pointed them to their respective room.

At the entrance was a small room for four to sit. It was meant for those accompanying the patient. Ki'Nha sat in the room as Re'Kha entered through the door—blocked with a curtain—beside, coming face to face with a lady in her forties.

She wore a hood that covered her from head to toe, only showing her face. Her eyes seemed a bit tired, despite it being only the afternoon. She didn't even glance at her Tikka jewellery, an action everyone did out of habit, motioning for Re'Kha to take a seat on the berth beside.
