" good morning" azqa said to me as i went down. " take a seat "
i took a seat beside her. " morning.. uh there are no scissors or nail cutters in my room " i regretted as soon I said it. i sounded like a demanding person.

" yes..no sharp objects near you " she said

I just nodded at her and sat there in silence. " here is the water and honey " a servant gave me a glass. I picked it and thanked her.

" assalamualaikum " Arsalan said as he sat on one of the chairs infront of us. he smiled at me " good morning" he was dress in all formal. black pants with. white shirt and his sleeves rolled up to his elbow.

" mo-morning " i stuttered out and he smiled and began eating. i took a sip of the honey water. ew. no be grateful you stupid moron. u have a roof over your head and food on table for free. these people are giving you everything. I took a sneaky look at azqa. but who adds a chemical to a patient's meal to check their pain tolerance after a suicidal attempt.

couldn't be azqa.

" uh do you need something " azqa asked me putting her forks down.

" n-no. " i replied

" then start eating " she said pointing towards the empty plate with her head.

I didn't feel like eating at all. I just smiled and nodded at her.

I took a bread in my plate and picked a small box of hot chocolate. I opened the lid and slowly dip a piece of bread in it and took a small bite. throw up. shut up.
I am so tired of these internal kind battles I have with myself.

I took a sip of the honey water cause my head head was aching like crazy. i gulped it in one go.

" maybe i misunderstood. your head is hurting alot. "

" thanks " i smiled at her

" it will be fine don't worry " she said taking a bite of her food " we will have daily sessions for now at 2 pm everyday "

" excuse me I have work that time " Arsalan said in between

" so? " azqa asked him

" I am going to be there in your sessions with eira " when he says my name it does something to me in my stomach.

" are you okay with it? " she asked me and I just nodded. " are you sure? "

" yes " I smiled at her

" alright then. we will shift the timings to 4 pm. alright? " arsalan and I just nodded at her and ate our food on silence.

" you can do whatever u want in the time being you are here. wether go to the garden, library anything you want just ask for the directions " azqa said to me " I have classes for now I will tag along later " with that she left

" I am going to our father's office. if you need anything ask the servants otherwise u have my number " he said and left too
" have a nice day eira "

" you too Arsalan " i said and his went wide in shock. a stroke of red color made its way on his face and it looked cute. a blushing Arsalan. did I say something weird? I don't think so.

both of them had left so i went back to my room. i was bored. i didn't want to think of anything bad so i roamed around my room. the closet had some pretty clothes. two long dresses a floral and a formal. a pair of sweatpants and I was wearing one so there were total in two. four oversized tees with two wide pants. i went to my bag and unzipped it. I pulled out my full sleeves t-shirts and a full sleeves knee length dress. two shorts. i threw them in the dustbin. its going to be alright. I put the dress and t-shirts in the closet and my undies bag and closed it. my bag had some chapsticks and a comb I put them on the dresser. the dresser already had makeup or skincare essentials but I won't be using them. i don't need them.
my bag was empty so i hung it by the closet on the hanging pins. i pulled out my suitcase. I opened it and took out sketch book and charcoal pencils. i began styling this room in my art book.
I have always wanted to be an artist. but that isn't just possible because in this world money matters alot, if it didn't I would have probably become an artist. I want to leave this city as soon as possible and for that I would have to do something but I don't know what. I hardly barely finished high school after everything.
before I knew tears were pouring down my eyes and i was crying again.

I opened my eyes to see a white ceiling with flower p.o.p ed on it. I woke up cause someone was knocking on the door. i didn't ever realise I fell asleep I was just lying on the bed.

" eira? are you in there? " I heard Azqa's voice from behind the door.
I quickly got up and opened it. ( It wasn't locked )

" yeah sorry.. " I said

" its okay. everything alright? " she asked trying to peek in the room

I nodded " I just fell asleep. "

" its okay. let's go for lunch and then we will have the session "

I looked back in the room to see the clock. It was 2:15 right now. is Arsalan back already? I nodded at her and we both left for lunch downstairs.

Arsalan isn't here. I look at Azqa. she was eating silently. I looked at the rice and curry in my plate. It looks great. For the first time I do not wish to throw up looking at food. Does it taste like the food of their country? Where are they from? I can't remember. everything aside where is Arsalan? is he going to be back by the time of session?
I looked at clock on the wall.

2:27

I sighed and began eating slowly. I took small bites and it was a little spicy but it tasted good. I have always loved over spicy food that made by tongue burn.

when i was done I looked at the time

2:41

Arsalan still wasn't here. Azqa was done as well but she went to her parents room. Azqa told me they are on a business trip for a month and a half. she went to take and send some documents to them.

" let's go " azqa said when she came back.
Arsalan still wasn't here. I just nodded at her and followed her to her study.

we both sat on our chairs and she looked at me " is something bothering you? "

" i-i no. not bothering but Arsalan isn't here- wasn't the session going to start at 4? "

" yes but Arsalan and i kind of talked with our parents and uh it's better he stays away from you from the choice cause you see you are a na mehram to him and nobody wants a bad deed when they can control it right? " she smiled at me

she was right though. I am gonna do some research on it later. I nodded at her

so the session for today began.
