Third-person POV,
#previously.
Maybe this is true then, Sia thought to herself.
So she stood amongst the crowd of workers and waited anxiously to see the arrival of the long awaited presence and when she did arrive, Sia was completely speechless.
She felt a form of happiness that she didn't think was possible until right at that moment, so she stood there looking straight at Akeerah with wide smile spread across her face as she expected a small smile in return, but Keerah looked past her like she didn't even see her although their gaze had locked for a moment.
Sia was confused at first, when she saw Keerah standing awkwardly and starting at everyone there, a form of habit that she didn't exhibit, at least not while she was here before she got kidnapped so she stared at her trying to understand what's going on, but she couldn't think of anything.
She was even more taken aback when she saw Keerah bowed back when the workers bowed at her.
