Chapter 19 Mahjub Al-makki

• Mahjub Al-Makki
• Pietra was still tearful and hugged her legs, looking out the windows with tears streaming down her face. I swallowed my own frustration and sat beside her, pulling her into my arms.
• I saw her shoulders rise with a deep breath she let out, giving me certainty of how painful this encounter must have been for her, even though I still didn't fully understand the reasons behind my friend's reaction. I ran my hand down her back as I listened to her let out each of her grievances through her silent but deeply felt tears, seeing her take deep breaths every few minutes.
