BK 2 chapter 18
I'd been discharged from the hospital a week ago, I'd been indoors since then. Always locked my door.
Mum had been trying to get me out of my room, trying to talk to me but it hurt. I couldn't look her in the eyes without feeling betrayed.
She would knock on my door, urging to open the door for hours but I didn't open the door. I needed space.
It hurt.
Its pain.
I was folding the masala (praying mat) when my room door was knocked.
I paused for a while before saying, "who is there?".
"It's me sis" I heard Maryam's hoarse voice. She had been crying.
It hurt me to hurt them.
"What do you want?" I asked her coldly. Turning my back away from the door as if she could see me.
"I just want to see you" her voice crossed.
"No, I'm busy" I replied curtly.
