Chapter 44

Rakia gulped as Dashtan said his confession. She wanted to interrupt, but on the other hand, she tried to listen to the man's explanation. "She was two weeks pregnant, but not my child. She forced me to take responsibility after she carelessly joined a party with her classmates back in college in America. On an island for three days. I had forbidden her to go but Dalilah is a party girl and stubborn, so I had no choice and let her go." Dashtan continued his story. Rakia now felt half empty. She was grateful for not interrupting earlier.
