Why didn't you send for me instead of climbing upstairs on your paining knees

Amma I am not lying I tell the truth, I am innocent, she choked on her words , something salty stuck inside her throat
Whatever you said I have heard it carefully, you know why, her tone was questioning, she lifted her head to look at bibi
