đź“– Words That Always Turn Into Wounds
Episode 9: The First Step Towards Trust
It was morning, but something about this day felt different.
Aaniya had opened her eyes earlier than usual.
Her lashes were heavy, but not with sleep — with courage.
Standing in front of the mirror, she tied her hair into a simple bun.
She didn't wear any makeup — just a little confidence.
> "I'm going," she whispered to herself — as if a voice deep within had awakened her.

The NGO office was inside an old building, but the atmosphere felt refreshingly new.
A boy at the reception smiled and asked,
> "Are you here for an appointment?"
> "Yes… for an interview," Aaniya replied with a soft smile, though her hands were still slightly trembling.
---
In the interview room, two people were seated — a middle-aged woman and a young coordinator.
The questions were ordinary, but Aaniya's answers came straight from the heart.
> "Why do you want to work at an NGO?"
She took a deep breath and said,
> "Because I believe my voice isn't just mine — it belongs to all those who suffered in silence."
There was silence in the room — but it wasn't awkward.
It was a silence of respect.

After the interview, Aaniya stepped outside — feeling a bit lighter.
She pulled out her phone. A message from Suleman had arrived:
> "How did it go?"
Aaniya replied:
> "I've already won… whether I get the job or not."
And for the first time… her heart agreed with her words.
