She snapped her eyes open as the nightmare plagued her once more, sweat dripping from her forehead, she stared at her reflection at the glass window which was messed up.
"it cannot be possible", she murmured wiping non-existing tear from her eyes.
resuming her sleeping position, she tried to sleep once more but to no avail.
a familiar face popped in her mind which she had almost erased for a long time.

in the big mansion, hussein sat at the open patio working his company matters which werent sorted yet, he wanted to have some space making sure he had sometime to hmself.
his blue eyes meticulously scanned his surroundings evading dangers that was lurking nearby.
he typed on his laptop at a faster speed without blinking, within minutes he had created a strong firewall for his security.
putting off his cigarrette, he stood up from his launge chair making his way to the pool.
removing his shirt he took a dive emersing himself

friday was the gathering of the family, smell of the fresh jasmine flowers lingered everywhere giving the vibe of warmnesss in the mansionate, chairs were placed near the poolside along with a tennis table and refreshments.
"hope it's all set", rana inquired the servants.
the maid nodded heading to the post which she was assigned, she was putting the unused bedsheets into the laundry when she started gossiping to her fellow maid.
"have you heard that the young master is returning home?"
her fellow maid leaned forward ready to hear more, "what happened?"
"i heard that mama ranaa is hunting a wife for him!"
"what does it have to do with you?"
"not much but at least we should keep busy instead of work all day?"
"look rosie we are here to work do not meddle in these matters", the elder maid repriminded.

the caar came to a stop, getting out of his car he put his keys inside the keyrack and headed for the living room, laughter could be heard as many young men and women sat there chattering happily.
"there he is", a voice interrupted his thoughts as he greeted the people who were sitting there.
"mashAllah look at him he has grown up! no wonder time flies", mama zulekha commented.
zulekha eyed his nephew with scrutiny eyes beckening him to have a seat beside her, heading at her direction, he seated hmself besides her gazing at no one in particular.
"how is noor?" zulekha whispered in his ears out of the blue.
hussein shrugged turning his head sideways making sure no one was paying any heed at their direction, he knew her aunt would want to know the full story behind the exterior, "that girl did not do it i am sure of that", she murmued making him face er way.
your mother seems very eager to have you remarried so far", she said.
"what are you too whispering to each other nephew and aunt?" his mother cut their conversation.
"nothing much just bantering with my nephew, at least tell him to come visit me", zulekha laughed pinching him playfully at the cheeks.
"he rarely comes here how can i urge him to see you while he's not here all round?" ranaa whined.
