“I’m here, Suhhadi. I trust that you can do this for us all,” I reassured her and embraced her.
If I’d think about it, it was the first time I embraced my oldest sister. I never held her actually, and it felt good. We siblings were not huggers. Maybe because Inadi never embraced us ever since we were hatchlings. But yes, she was there for us all right, and she trained us to be confident with ourselves and to be independent.
When we broke our embrace, we both stared into each other’s eyes with understanding, support and affection we could ever have as sisters. There was determination in our eyes, too.
We hurried to the throne room and were relieved to see that no one was seated on it. Yet.
