Chapter 49. Apologies

Zahra was overwhelmed by her words. She thought she never had someone but just her mother’s words made Zahra realized that she always had her mother by her side but she was just too worried about adding more stress to her parent’s stressful lives. And that worriedness took so many special moments of her life away from her. She never talked about how she felt and that made her retract to a shell where she was just surviving, not living life to her fullest.

And her mother’s word forced her to think that she always had someone but she was too busy in noticing of the thing she didn’t have in her life that she never really noticed the immense love and strength her mother’s heart had.

If only she had confided in her mother about her struggles a few years back then things might have been changed. She might have not become what she was now. She might have not to be a victim of harassment for five long years. Her mother would have saved her. Her father would have protected her.
