Chapter 29

• “Aunty! I am back,” Sherry called out cheerfully as she pushed open the door of the house. The day had been tiring and now, she was craving the warm soup made by the old aunt. Thinking about the taste of the spices in the soup made her heart warm from within.
• Despite the unease she was feeling inside her heart, she held onto the small thread of hope and warmth.
• ‘Why are all the lights off? I think uncle and aunt are not back yet,’ she thought as she took out her phone. Turning on the flashlight she made her way to the switch wall to turn on the lights.
