I've officially cashed in three hundred thousand dollar for my six weeks employment. I don't know how I did it but I'm so glad I've done half of the total duration, with five more weeks to go.

I'm obligated to fulfil the entire duration or I'll be subjected to penalty- instead of earning money, I'd have to pay him twice the amount.

But I have this strong feeling in me that as time goes, I'm getting more uncomfortable to expose my skin. All I wanted to do was to cover them and swear I won't do this ever again, that I wanna go back to wearing modest clothes and hijab to cover my hair.

What happened yesterday morning with the whole breakfast incident emphasized my desire to go back to being Alya.

I guess I've gotten the answer of what I've been wondering about.

Ten years ago, in the beginning, transitioning from shorts to abaya seems drastic to everyone so yeah, maybe I covered myself because of him; to please him.

But as time goes, I've became accustomed to this style of clothing.
