The Nightmare: As You Get Older

At nine o'clock in the morning, Adel was drying the two towels that she used when taking a shower. She hooked the two towels on the hooks available in the garden behind her house, especially the sun loungers. When finished, she reached for her phone in the pocket of the knee-length shorts she was wearing as she walked into the living room, wanting to relax for a while while watching a mukbang video on YouTube. She grabbed the TV remote and sat down on the couch. She put her phone beside her in case her Mom or Dad called. Today the aunts from dad’s family will come to the house because they want to stop by. They said they want to meet us all for a day out, and at this time, mom and dad are picking up the aunts at the station. Her mother, Andien, has prepared a variety of dishes, ranging from heavy to light.
