THE thrill and pleasure that Ara felt in those moments as she walked alone on the way home to their house were undeniable. It was not far from Daniel's house when she passed a group of men drinking in front of a store.
"Wow, when you're really lucky," Ara heard a man say in a tone of voice that was obviously drunk.
"Shut up! You do not live here so do not do nasty things," replied another man.
When Ara glanced at him, she noticed that he is obese, and like his companion, he also has a twisted tongue because of drunkenness.
"Look who's talking," the man who had previously spoken stood up. "Come on, let's meet her," he said walking towards her.
Ara's chest quickly swelled with fear at what had happened. But instead of being obvious, the young lady tried to act naturally and continued walking.

A beautiful smile remained on Daniel as he gazes at Ara until she completely disappeared from his sight.
