Present
The flight boarded at the Malaysian airport. Aylin's mind drifted to Ariam and Ayla; it's been 15 days, she knew he handled everything, but she still didn't know who he really was. After what happened in the forest, she understood that he had returned to her sister because she saw so much love in his eyes. She knew he loved her.
She slipped past immigration, clutching her Aria Solis passport with the Malaysian flag stamped across her name. With her cap and mask still on, and her glasses perched on her nose, she quickly tucked the passport into her pocket. As she made her way to the baggage carousel, she kept an eye out for her bag. When it finally rolled around, she grabbed it and headed out of the airport.
She knew where she had to go because Reyes had arranged everything for her. Just as she was about to call a cab, one pulled up in front of her. The driver stepped out and held a sign that read, "Aria Solis." She nodded at the driver and took the mobile he offered her.
