What was that? Who was he?
My mind keeps repeating the questions as me and Sarah are riding on her horses further.

"Zahra? Zahra?"

I finally snap at Sarah's voice.

"What?"

I say, confused as she face palms herself

"I am calling you from past five minutes, idiot. Where were you lost?"

She asks me, but I don't know how to answer her question and before I try to answer, our focus shifts on the group of people sitting near a champ fire.
A small smile forms on my lips as it was my first time seeing such thing, it might be so much fun to sit with everyone and enjoy the time.

Me and Sarah both stop on our tracks, looking at them and a middle aged lady comes to us after seeing us, we both get down of our horses as she approaches us.

She is a woman who might be in her early forties, she had a casual dress on. she looks like a normal citizen. She had a smile on, seeing me and Sarah.

"Hayyee.. what beauties.. mashallah.. such beautiful young girls in Cairo.."

She says, touching mine and Sarah's face slightly with a genuine smile which even made me and sarah smile.

Sarah again introduces us as visitors and the lady offers us to join the camp fire and I look at Sarah, immediately nodding with a pleading face and she eventually agrees.

We accept the offer and settle down around the fire as few men were singing. It feels so good to be free, after this I might feel like never going back to the boring castle walls again.
I sit and see, Sarah singing with them and interacting with the people happily.

But my thoughts soon shift to the guy I saw earlier actually they were two guys. The arrogant and manner less guy who asked us questions was really hard to ignore with those ocean blue eyes, his almost messy hair and almost unbelievable looks.

Oh my god is it the fire too hot?, or my thoughts are just becoming too weird?.

Though his words only grew anger in me. The audacity he had to question me so carefree, when no one ever questioned me right away on my face in such way.

While the other guy was totally strange, his eyes were locked on Sarah as if he saw a ghost but he looked pretty hurt too..

My head snaps towards the people who stand up suddenly and bow their heads in respect but towards who?..

I look up just to see the annoying guy from earlier sitting on his horse as he scans the surroundings and his eyes land on me.
I blink my eyes looking at him, I hate to admit but his gaze sends a slight shiver down my spine.

He gets down from his black horse which end up standing beside my white horse, they looked pretty good together but my focus quickly shifts towards that guy, he greets everyone.
