Once Becca left, Navaya decided to resume reading the godforsaken book. She bought it so she might as well finish it. But as if on cue, her phone rang again and she puffed out a sigh.
They were at it again. Why wouldn't they leave her alone?
At this point, audaciously ignoring them seemed more tempting by the second but she knew what would happen if she did that. She would get an earful for sure. But then again, weren't they still going to give her one anyway?
Reluctantly, she dug out her phone from her purse again and answered the call. Just for the sake of being courteous, nothing else.
This time the caller wasn't dad but mom.
Navaya brought the phone to her ears. " Hello."
" Finally, you chose to answer." A woman's voice came from the other line and Navaya sucked in a sharp beeath.
" I'm doing great, mom. Thanks for asking."
Navaya rolled her eyes rudely. Her mother wasn't able to see it so it was alright.
