Chapter 49

• Hira's POV:
• "Great yar, congratulations." Mashall patted my back like an elderly as I told her about the interview e-mail. Recently I broke the news among my colleagues that I am living in Ahmar's house as a paid guest. It has become a necessity since everyone noticed that I daily come with Ahmar to the college. However, my statement was based on half-truth and half-lie because I told them that I am residing with my Khala (Maternal aunt) in the upper portion of their house. But only Mashal and the principal know the whole situation.
• At first, I faced unfathomable glances and strange remarks from everyone but with time things settled down since I didn't pay any heed to it. But Mashall was concerned I might become the subject of gossips when the students get to know about it. She was right that I couldn't deny it once this information reached the student body, they will dig out every detail about my life and things might get problematic for me.
