25. TRICKED

It was dawn. And it dawned upon her making her sobs broke into hysterious cries. She remembered swallowing the pills forcefully when she talked about Mahara to her father. Her fingers shook as she raised them to wipe her tears. Cold, white tiles haunting her. She sensed them closing upon her but when looked up nothing changed. She was still there, seating on the floor.

"Dad, Mahara is in problem. She needs a new house." asked the small Zohra in the same words Mahara have taught her.

"My dear daughter is so smart. But now, it’s time for your medicines." her father proposed in a sweet voice. Drawing out the pills from the box kept under side table.
