Aziyat was really scared about facing the others. She didn't have the energy to fight anymore judgemental gaze.
She knew that she has done no such thing but sometimes in life, you feel scared despite being fully innocent.
The world isn't just and people would twist words according to their wishes and that's what she was scared of. She knew that if they don't like her side of story enough, they would create one by themselves. Without even asking her.
She was surprisingly early today.
She looked around but didn't find that colleague who was spreading the rumors. She noticed how her minions weren't also saying anything.
They were fully focused on doing their job. She waited for someone to say something but nobody did.
Finally,it was lunch time and her anxiety was at the peak. She was almost sure that someone is going to hurt her with their words but when she got to finish her lunch in silence, she couldn't be more grateful.
