CHAPTER 17: REJECTIONS.
Third Person's POV.
Ayesha had spent the entire day outside with her brother. She had woken up from a nightmare at dawn and could not go back to sleep. At the same time, she did not have the courage to endure her aunt's anger, so she stayed in bed until her brother made his appearance a while later. He had asked her to get dressed and meet him on the porch. Ayesha did as asked, dressing up in a burgundy and grey dress with sleeves slightly longer than her own arms. She reached the bottom of the stairs to find her aunt already waiting for her, her face stern. Ayesha's hands trembled as she continued walking down the stairs. Her aunt forwarded a bag to Ayesha and walked away without another word.
