"Do you care anything for me, Maryam?"
He asked, his eyes were looking into mine so deeply and earnestly that I just can't bring myself to look away.

When Zaid Khalid, the youngest and heir of the prestigious Khalid Fam...
I'm so tired. I knew heading out with Amr for "running errands" was a terrible idea, especially since I had like over fifty and above people staying at my house and in some of our guesthouses and it was my job to recieve them.
But ignoring all that, I didn't even know why my birthday is celebrated highly this year anyway, me and Amr headed to the dessert. Yesterday we had went to watch the Dune Movie and Amr had this brilliant plan on driving to the dessert.
And the truth is, it sounded fun.
So we packed up some lunch and sodas and had one of the best road trips ever. It was a four hour drive and we made it in no less. So that's why, while we're listening Abba's increasingly long lecture about humiliating guests in his big wide study, me and Amr forcefully held our sniggers.
I forcefully got myself out of bed because today was going to be a long day since it was day 1 of the weeklong party we were having. I checked out my phone and it was 6am. Damn it. It was already 5.30am. My eyelids were begging to be still closed. I quickly took a shower and after doing wudu, sprayed some perfume and quickly headed out to the prayer room.

It was a long white hall which had a curtain in the middle to part for men and women and there's also a separate entrance for the women. It was one of the highlights of the house I could say. I saw some of the guests, since almost everyone had arrived yesterday. I nod and speak to some of the uncles when the adhaan was heard.
After saying the dua for adhaan, Abba headed to me and tapped my shoulder and shouted, "Zaid will lead!"
And before I knew it, I was already putting the white cap for the Imam and saying the first takbir. "Allahu Akbar." My voice rang loudly and clearly even though I've spent the half of the night in the cold.

After Subahi I quickly headed out again even though Sarah was eyeing me from afar as I swung my Porsche keys around. I winked at her and quickly headed out to the garage before Abba or saw me cause I didn't want any Dune plans for today. I whispered something to Daoud, our butler who took care of me since I got here, to take care of things so Abba didn't notice.
At nine thirty I returned from the gym took another shower, wore a black poli shirt with some black jeans and a belt. Also I took special care to gel my hair carefully,

ZAID'S OUTFIT
I headed down to the dining hall and sat down to find a pair of familiar green eyes staring at me. Once we both recognized each other, we both screamed at top of our voices,
