You are. Such. An incredible storyteller... with a special knack for cliffhangers, I'm coming to see! I was immediately absorbed into this story, could see the room, the food, the aunties. You. I loved learning about the custom of refusing three times. It sounds exhausting but something that is just done, exactly like all the other customs you later call into question. I loved the whole "Oh no, I said the inside part out loud," and how you were moved to keep going. It takes a particular kind of presence, conviction, articulation and wisdom to shut down a room of aunties. As with all your tales I am ready for the next chapter.
Ahhhh thank you! I appreciate you reading it and sharing your thoughts. The three refusals is hard for the American in me that's used to just saying what's wanted lol.
Iām loving these, Shailla. I feel Iām right there with you, feeling all the feels on your behalf and mind. Phew! Love them. šš½
Ah thank you so much for reading āØ
