บท 45: guilty trap

Later in the night, Maya called Alora. They talked for a long time.

"Maya, where's Sarah? "

"She is studying in her room."

"Wait, what? I know that she's genius and all but she never sits to study alone if I don't force -" Alora stopped at the middle.

Maya's eyes filled up with tears.

"You aren't here," Maya said wiping off her tears.

Alora tried to talk but her throat started hurting. She felt like she will burst into tears anytime soon if she says any word.

After taking a few deep breaths, she calmed herself down. With a heavy voice, she said," I will talk to you later. I am kind of tired and need to sleep."

After getting an affirmative response, she cut the call.
