CHAPTER SIX

I went to picked Ammar at school thinking about how amina succeeded in stealing my sketches, I know that they is a snitch leaving among us and I have to find her or him. I packed my car at the front of my house and came out of the car, I was about to enter the house when a familiar voice called my name.

Zarah, the voice said.

She knew who's voice is , she can never forget the voice of the man she once loved with all her heart, the man she was ready ready to do anything for, but he decided to reward her love for him with a betrayal, when she needed him the most, he left her and now that she don't need him, he suddenly appear. Zarah opened the door for Ammar and told him to go inside and wait for her, she turned around and looked at him.

What are you doing here Yusuf, are you stalking me, Zarah asked Yusuf looking at him irritated.

Zarah listen to me please, I'm sorry please forgive me, Yusuf said to her looking at her.

Yusuf, you're sorry, hhh sorry can't change anything, take your apology with you and leave my house and never in your life think of coming my way, Zarah said  turning around and going towards the entrance door of her house.

Zarah I know deep inside, you still want me, I know that you still love me just stop the pretence, Yusuf said walking towards zarah blocking the entrance door.

Yusuf move away and get out of my house, or else you won't like my next move, Zarah said warning Yusuf.

What are you going to do Zarah, call the cops on me, Yusuf said moving closer to Zarah touching her hand.

Tass!! Tass!!, Zarah slapped Yusuf, don't you ever in your life think of touching me , She said angrily passing him, she entered her house and slammed the door.

Yusuf was left frozen at the spot he was , with his hands touching his face. He can't believe that she just slapped him, how can she , how dare her. He left the house and entered his car, he sat down and said to himself "I will make sure that she regret being born to this world, I will mess her up, I will destroy Zarah, she's messing with the wrong guy. She doesn't know me, Yusuf said smirking, although the slap pained him, he has better way of revenging.

Zarah entered her room thinking of the incident that happened, she never in her dream thought that she will slap Yusuf, she was even shocked as well, but deep down she was satisfied that she have finally send him away, At last he will be out of her life for good. She sighted and enter the bathroom to take a shower and perform ablution, she prayed and went downstairs to prepare dinner.

Zarah wake up early in the morning and prayed then she went downstairs to prepare breakfast and lunch for Ammar because today is a very long day for her, she's meeting Amna at her house with samples of material for the kamu dresses and she have to meet with two more brides today. She went to Ammar's room to wake him up, she bathed him and got him ready for school. They took breakfast together and Zarah went to her room to get ready, she wore a  brocade bubu which she made by herself. The bubu is cream in color the edges and neck were designed with green and peach embroidery thread which brings out  a flower and leaf shape, she tied her turban which is made of the same material and it also have the same design. She wore a green shoe and bag with a green veil also. Zarah have a caramel skin, so the dress complimented her skin, she look very beautiful, she took mirror pictures and went out.

She was determined to catch the snitch, so she placed a hidden camera at her office and kept another sketch inside the drawer beneath her table and she closed it with a key and kept the key under her files. Zarah was satisfied with what she did because she knows that the person will surely come back.

She exited the office and closed it then she went to the meeting room cause she have an appointment with another bride.
