(Amara)“Oh,” she says, running a hand through her hair. “That. I mean the drug you’re talking about.” She moves briskly toward me. “You can’t find it?” she asks, sounding almost unsure of what I mean.I stare at her, stunned.“Didn’t you get me? That’s what I’m looking for,” I say, drawing the words out, each syllable weighed down by my frustration. I move to the bed and sink into it, exhaustion pressing into my bones.I hold her gaze.“You must have one for yourself, right? You said you got one for yourself too. Can you help me with it, since I can’t find mine?”“Sorry, Amara. Mine is finished,” Maya cuts in.She turns toward the table, her back to me now. “But you don’t have to worry. I can just get you one tomorrow.”She faces me again, an assuring smile settling on her lips. It’s gentle, practiced, the kind meant to calm storms.“I’ll go to the hospital before heading to work, and you’ll have it by evening. How does that sound?”I sigh, drawing in a deep breath. It’s late. There’

(Amara)“What is it, Amara?”Maya’s voice tears through the apartment as I move from room to room. Bedroom. Living room. Balcony.Since yesterday, I’ve said nothing. I haven’t eaten. And now I’m dragging clothes from my box and tossing them into a wide steel container on the balcony, piling fabric on fabric like they mean nothing.“And now…” Maya follows me out, disbelief sharpening her tone. “Now you’re throwing your clothes away and burning them?”I don’t answer.I kneel, arranging the clothes more deliberately, smoothing a sleeve, pushing a dress down so everything fits. I move back inside, grab another armful.Her footsteps rush after me.“What’s going on?” She grips my arm, forcing me to stop. “You know you can talk to me, right?”I look at her. Really look at her.Maya has been my only friend since I moved to this city five years ago. I tell her most things. Laugh with her. Cry with her. But I’ve never told her about my family.I never saw the need.I wanted one person in my lif

(Amara)I wake up to the loud blare of my phone alarm.Seriously? I’m on vacation and I still haven’t turned off that damn thing?This alarm has been part of my life for years. The one I trained myself to wake up to after I got married to Felix. Back then, I had to learn discipline. Time. Routine. Being ready before the day even started.It wasn’t always like that.In my parents’ house, I woke up whenever I wanted. Breakfast was already waiting. My outfit laid out. Every detail handled for me. I never had to worry about planning my day or getting things done. I would wake up and decide if I wanted a spa day, a museum visit, or just to exist comfortably inside the life my parents had already arranged for me.I sit up suddenly.Come to think of it… this is a new day.A real one.Time to begin my adventure.I clap my hands once in anticipation just as the alarm rings again. Groaning, I push the duvet aside and drag myself out of bed, moving sluggishly toward my bag. I dig out my phone an
