Chapter-18 New Recruits Part -1

Rosa sat cross legged on a bed beside a small familiar desk. Her back stings due to the application of salve on it. She sat with her chin on her knees. The candle on the table flickered in the light breeze. ‘Why is the purpose of lighting this candle at day time?’ Rosa ignored the question as she could not find any answer to it. She wanted to avoid Kuon for a few days but she found herself seeking his help just the next day. Kuon made her promise to visit him ones every week for her taste loss even Babak is nagging her thinking she might have consumed something poisonous. Rosa on the other hand could not understand what is so worrying about it. She wanted to ignore her situation rather she was pissed at Kuon for not letting her meet Felix yet.
