20. He wanted a woman?

Amayra

I woke up with the sound of weeping. It freaked me out since I hadn't slept well last night. Putting a pillow on my head I strived to sleep again but the noise was increasing with every passing second.

"What the fuck, Lily? What's this noise about?", I opened my eyes abruptly in the rage of anger when I froze finding other women in my room. They were staring at me. I remembered I wasn't in my own house. Gathering myself to the edge of the bed, I got up and adjusted my veil immediately.

"Are you okay?", a woman asked, sitting on the ground.

"Y...yes", I mumbled. "What's this noise about?"

"We don't know. Who will dare to go out?", another woman replied.

"I asked but Eisha madam said it was none of our business", the first woman said.

However, it was definitely my business. Everything that was happening inside this quarter and Abraham's life was my business.
