Aisha shut her eyes tightly to prevent the scenes from their hotel room from reappearing in her mind. But they keep on flashing before her overpowering her desire to stay calm right now.
She stepped forward to the action scene, to the bewilderment of everyone present. Rosalia tried to stop her, but she was already in front of everybody.
"Our lady," they all bowed down to her in one accord, including the man and woman who were arguing at that moment.
"I was really just grabbing a bite, you know," she blurted as she picked up a piece of bread and ate it. She needed all the energy for this.
All eyes awaited on what she would do or say next.
"I couldn't help but overhear the commotion. What's this all about?" She lifted her head and asked in a calm manner after she had eaten a mouthful, secretly congratulating herself for being in control of her emotion at that moment.
