She wanted to pay off the orphanage bank loan for the property to stay theirs. With the back of her hand, she wiped her own tears rashly. She knew right when she was younger, at a party with different people in suit and dresses, she was going to live hell throughout her life.

These hands no longer needed to be pampered just so they could wear a ring. Instead, they could make food, earn money, and hold on tightly to the life I had built for myself.

But it wasn’t enough. “What else?” I asked. Silence. Longer this time. Then. “Free.” That word hit deeper than anything else. Because that. That was the one thing I had been fighting for.

Nora nodded and hugged her, placing a huge smooch on Sarah's cheek. "You don't have to worry about me at all, Mommy! I can take care of myself." Sarah just smiled and ruffled her hair.

While I waited to board the plane at the airport, Jay called. I declined the call immediately, removed the SIM card from my phone and threw it away. From now on, I would live my own life. The plane landed in the icy winds of Usmana. I wrapped my coat tighter and looked toward the arrivals area where Leeya stood waving. "You're finally here!" she exclaimed.
