The next morning...

The shrill sound of his alarm clock echoed through the bedroom. Harraz stirred before slowly opening his eyes. Waiting patiently beside him on the bed was his cat. A small smile appeared on his face.

"Good morning, sweetheart," he murmured. He gently stroked her soft fur before leaning down to kiss the top of her head. The cat let out a contented purr, rubbing against his hand. For a brief moment, Harraz forgot about everything that had been bothering him yesterday.

He climbed out of bed, stretched, and headed to the bathroom. After a refreshing shower, he dressed neatly in a crisp white shirt, a charcoal gray suit, and a matching tie. He adjusted his wristwatch, styled his hair, and took one last glance in the mirror.

Professional as always. Before leaving, he filled his cat's food bowl, gave her one last gentle pat, and picked up his car keys.

"Be good while I'm at work," he said with a faint smile.
His cat meowed as if answering him.

Harraz chuckled softly before locking the front door behind him. Within minutes, he was on his way to the office, completely unaware that the thoughts of Nurin would once again occupy his mind before the day was over.

After getting dressed, Ahad picked up his phone with a smile and dialed Nurin's number. After a few rings, she answered. "Assalamu alaikum." "Wa alaikumussalam," Nurin replied. There was a brief silence before Ahad spoke again.

"Nurin..."

"Hmm?" "I woke up this morning and suddenly realized..." He smiled to himself.

"...I missed you." A smile spread across Nurin's face.

"Don't be silly." Ahad laughed. "What? Is it wrong for me to miss my friend?"  "Of course not."

"Good," he said, still smiling. "I know you're busy, but... would you have lunch with me today?" Nurin raised an eyebrow.

"Your treat?" Ahad laughed again.

"Of course! I wouldn't dare invite you without offering to pay."  "Well..." She pretended to think for a moment.
"Okay, I'll come." Ahad's smile grew even wider.

"But," she continued, "it won't be just the two of us. I'm inviting someone else too, okay?" "I don't mind," Ahad replied immediately. "As long as you agreed to have lunch with me."

"Then I'll invite Eva." "Perfect."

"I'll see you later." "See you at lunchtime."

"All right. Bye."

"Bye." The call ended. Nurin lowered her phone and looked at the blank screen for a moment. Without realizing it, she smiled. It seemed Ahad had truly kept his promise to make things right.
And somehow... She found herself looking forward to lunch.

Harraz arrived at the company early that morning.

After parking his car, he walked through the entrance with his usual calm expression. Employees greeted him as he passed, and he simply nodded in response.

Before he reached his office, his phone rang. It was his private assistant.

"Sir, I think I've found a possible match."

Harraz stopped walking. "Are you sure?"
"I believe so. The information matches most of the details you provided." Harraz was silent for a moment before checking the information sent to him.
A few seconds later, his expression changed.
