Nada emerged from the tub and realized how hungry she was. She put on the silk robe the girls had left and stumbled into her room. She ate her food and then went to the window again to take in the beauty of the gardens. It is so beautiful outside and so much ugliness in this room, my room, she thought. She began to realize this was the extent of her life. Calm when he left and torture when he returns. “I am never getting out of this room,” she said out loud. The girls entered the room and asked if there was anything she wanted. “I wish I can go out on the balcony and breathe in some fresh air. The flowers are beautiful. The sunflowers are in bloom. I bet they fill the air with heavenly aromas,” Nada exclaimed! The girls opened the window and helped Nada onto the balcony. Nada thought she was in heaven.
