Everyone kept looking at his going figure in wonder then John chuckled awkwardly while handling the situation making sure not to give anyone a chance of any gossip.

°°°°°

Zaim approached to the cafeteria and settled into a chair, anticipating Helena's arrival for lunch. He took a cigarette from his pants pocket and started to light it, also there was a soft drink placed on the table.

Meanwhile, Helena was feeling unwell as her headache was getting severe so she decided to head home. She had already called Faris, and after finishing her three lectures, she made her way to the parking lot, where she waited for Faris.

Zaim's gaze fell upon Helena's standing figure, he abruptly stood up from his seat intending to approach Helena. Then he saw Faris approaching in his car and stopping near Helena, Faris stepped out of his car and asked Helena in concerned,
"Are you okay Helena? You don't look alright, should we go to see doctor ?"

Helena shook her head slightly and replied while lowering her gaze,
" There is no need Faris, I just want to go home then I'll be ok."
" But Helena........"
Before Farris could finish his sentence helena looked up at faris then she said again,
"Don't worry Faris, I just need some rest."
Then Faris hummed in response.

Helena moved towards the car's gate to open it, suddenly Faris opened the gate for Helena, gesturing by hand to make her sit and bowed a little to give her a princess treatment then he said with a smile,
"Your highness, would you graciously honor me with your presence by taking a seat?"

Helena smiled a little at Faris's gesture then settled into the car as Faris closed the door, He then moved to the driver's seat , as he did, Zaim and Faris made an eye contact for a moment but Faris ignored him and settled in the car.

Zaim was observing the whole scene, feeling his heart racing faster than ever and with that his anger rising. Eventually, he got into his car and sped off swiftly, his emotions swirling inside him.

He was driving aimlessly, his fist placed on his forehead. His gaze fixed angrily on the road ahead then he thought about Faris whom he knew nothing about, and this thought was enough to make him crazy. He then clenched his jaw and gritted his teeth in frustration then he said while hitting his palm against the steering wheel,

"Who the motherfucker he was ahh???"
He shouted his voice filled with rage,

Then he stopped his car on the roadside and shouted again while gripping the steering wheel tightly with both hands,
"Why does he always show up to pick her up ?"

He placed his both palms on his forehead and grabbed his front hair tightly then he said again,
"Why do you keep tormenting me, you bastard? agghh damn my brain is gonna explode."
Afterthat he stepped out of his car and took in some fresh air as he was feeling distress, with both hands placed on his waist.

After spending half an hour he went straight home. As he entered his home he heard his stepmom saying,
"Where are you coming from Moon."
He stopped in his tracks and looked at his stepmother,
He heard again her saying,
"Come and have lunch I've prepared it for you."
However He ignored her and headed to his room then he went to the bathroom and took a hot shower.

As It was 11 in the night. Helena finished her ibadah, and went to her study table then she realized that she hadn't completed her presentation that was held on Friday as Friday was the Due date of the project. Due to her illness she left many topics unfinished.

Helena was so engrossed in her project that she didn't realize she spent the whole night completing the remaining topics and preparing the presentation. As she heard the Fjr adhan. She glanced at the clock while yawning, then stood up from her chair and went to the bathroom to perform ablution, after returning she performed Fajar Salah and felt a sense of peace in her heart after praying..
Then she went to bed and fell asleep.
