Chapter 33

• Rakia and Lizzy were seen sitting at the hotel restaurant where Rakia and Dashtan had their wedding. After Lizzy helped Rakia remove her wedding dress, they promised to meet at the hotel restaurant. Rakia said goodbye to Dashtan after they took turns showering and dressing. Dashtan, who seemed to be getting ready for bed first, heard Rakia say she was going to the hotel restaurant with Lizzy. Now, the two women were silent after Rakia explained what had happened to her.
• “Why didn’t you tell me? I can help you, Kia...,” Lizzy said, looking at Rakia sympathetically. Rakia just let out a long sigh.
• “I didn’t think of you at the time, all I could think of was how this problem would only be known and inconvenience me.” That was the only reason she could give to Lizzy, and it was an honest confession.
