*SIDE SCENE*:
as soon as Ibtisam went to home , he spotted aziza sitting at the bench outside their home , reading a book , written by some kind of author Named Taliba , not paying much attention to the book he walked towards her, causing her to look at Ibtisam , she adjust her Clothes by hands and stood to greet her brotherAziza: asalamu alaikum , 'akh (brother)
He smiled sitting at the bench , with aziza beside him
Ibtisam: Aziza , i need you to write something
Aziza: what do you want me write about? 'akh? (brother)
Ibtisam: The commander asked about Zulaykha and her pasts and secrets everything. I want you to write a letter about it and delivered it to commander
Aziza frowned , wondering why his brother is asking about her best Friend? And what does it matter to the commander? Why he need it? Panics crawls into her
Aziza: why the commander wants to know about her? 'akh? (brother)
Ibtisam: i don't know much but he said , its the king's matter
Her eyes widen , as she jerks off from the bench, causing her brother to frown at her
Aziza: Tell me i don't know much about her
She said as she walks away , but stopped as his brother starts to speak
Ibtisam: why? Why are opposing this matter ? Aziza? Is Zulaykha some kind of criminal or what? What have she done? Tell me aziza!
He said getting frustrated at aziza's Response , aziza turned towards him
Aziza: 'akh, no she isn't a criminal neither a she betrayed someone or whatever shit that is Going into your head , but just know that letting her be invisible is better for all of us , you are saving so many people by keeping her a mystery , please just let the commander know that her parents died at young age and she is married to someone , nothing else matter
Ibtisam: hm....go inside
He said, a bit angry at her sister of not even letting him , her own brother know the truth , he wonders , what thats mystery is about Zulaykha? Who is she? What her purpose? And most Importantly WHY IS SHE????
getting on his horse , Ibtisam made his way towards the castle knowing Stefan would be there , and he can tell that lil info given by aziza
moment after , he was riding , his horse stumbled into something , looking down he saw a girl laying there , her cap a far from her and her bag too , looks like she is unconscious, Ibtisam decided to help her first , taking water from the pouch hanging on the horse's belt , he threw some drops of water on her tan beautiful face , by his hands , causing that girl to open her eyes slowly , she wasn't conscious fully but enough to talk or listen.Ibtisam: hey...!
He said to her , but she didn't given a damn Response as Ibtisam again said the same words , and Finally her eyes meet her weak ones
Girl: i...i...who are you?
Ibtisam: i am Ibtisam, i saw you laying here unconscious do i decided to help you , may i know your name please?
The girl sighed , settling herself in a sitting position , she again moved her gaze towards Ibtisam
Girl: i am Zulaykha
