"I want to start a membership in library," Taaliyah told her father. "Am bored, I want to read more book, please let me get the membership," she said firmly.
"Nihala, what is she saying?" Zahir asked his wife still reading the newspaper. Nihala walked out of the kitchen and stood next to her daughter.
"What's wrong? isn't it a good thing to read books, it will only add to her knowledge, get her a member," she supported Taaliyah unaware of the intention. She wanted her daughter to have good things in life. "We have let Mara pursue her dreams, why can't we let Taaliyah too," she said with her eyes filled with tears. Her phone call with Nara the previous night remained fresh in her mind. Nihala was feeling awfully bad. She wanted her first born to be happy and safe. But Nara is not though she claims she is.
