YA ZA A YI BOOK 1

About this Novel

Since I overheard Tokar discussing his return home, a wave of shock engulfed me. I am already aware of the strained relationship between us, and I'm bewildered by the absence of mutual affection and happiness. It's perplexing why he harbors such hatred towards me, even though we share blood ties. Our interactions resemble that of adversaries, with every encounter turning into a fierce battle. He has insulted me, even resorted to physical violence, resulting in the loss of two of my teeth, a constant reminder of his anger and my silent suffering. As I sit, lost in my thoughts, a woman, presumably Tokar's mother, enters the room making incessant noises, as if she is the sole speaker, with or without an audience. I glance at her, anticipating the biased love she shares with Tokar, preparing myself to reject any favor she might seek from me. She raises her hand to stroke her hair, completely gray and thinning, concentrated mostly at the center of her head. Her appearance mirrors Audiga, with hair only at the crown, while the sides remain smooth as if untouched. Despite my hair being similar to hers, she insists on washing it weekly and applying a new type of fat each time.
