Chapter 18. Nature

Mira’s POV

Did I still have feelings for Braze? Hell no!

Not after what he did to me. I was not that pitiful.

Why then, was my heart beating abnormally?

Every time I closed my eyes, I could see Betty, on Bride’s lap. I was definitely going crazy.

“Shit! It’s thundering again. I hate thunder!”

Razzak was busy closing all the windows, one by one. She then came inside my blanket and cuddled up.

“I am sorry. Please bear with me. Ouch!” She yelled as another round of thunder claps rumbled.

“Doesn’t it bother you?” She looked more distressed at my nonchalance.

“Have you ever been in love?” I don’t know why I asked her that.

“Me? No! Never! Why? Did anyone break your heart? You look broken. Was it one of those boys?”

She suddenly sat up, forgetting her fear.

“Are they still after you? Bothering you? Tell me, girl.”

Her shadow elongated in the background as she stood up with the blanket still over her shoulder.
