Only ancient wall clocks as well as lined photo frames hung on the walls. There are no ornaments or ornaments of home knick-knacks objects worth selling, the sofa they sit on is also very faded with tears in some corners and places. Mother Maya looked at Nadia with a look of pity and empathy for her.
