At a rooftop cafe,
"Thank you…" Noor thanked the waiter when he served their order while Aria just nodded at the young man.
Aria sipped her steaming hot coffee before asking Noor, "So, how are you doing, Noor?"
Noor tilted her head hearing the same question twice. Aria had asked the same question with a smile when they were in the car. But now, that smile has vanished, replaced with seriousness.
It took her a few seconds to grasp and answer her, more like convincing herself, "I am doing good, Aunt Aria."
Aria had spoken to Naira. The latter had the role of secretary in a series so she was following her for two days. Even though Naira didn't know the reason behind Noor's changes, it was very easy for Aria to discern.
