Zahran got lost staring at her deep golden Amber cat-like eyes, it changed colours to the shifts of light.

He knew that he had seen the same fiery eyes somewhere. Neither too long ago nor very recently.

He just tried to touch her face but Mariam closed her eyes and backed off murmuring "No you can't do this Mr.Fancy pants."
He chuckled at her and cocked his head to one side smirking.

He felt so different towards her, he caught every glimpse of her move. He swallowed a lump down his throat and looked at her with his dark pitch black coloured orbs filled with something purer than love. It was already quarter past eight at night and Mariam pleaded him to leave.

Zahran put his leg over the handrail on the balcony so that he can jump down and he even did, Mariam gasped and looked down making sure he didn't get hurt by jumping off from there.

"Someone out there worried that I got hurt?" Zahran whisper yelled only so that she can hear.

"Just get lost now," Mariam gave a knocking death glare.
"Don't worry I'll come back to you and sweep you off your feet!" He yelled at her and Mariam stifled a smile pressing her lips as it was about to twitch upwards.

She wondered how he came up without anyone helping him.
Mariam closed her balcony door and blushed Scarlett red, she immediately fired up her phone and saved his number, she saved it as Zahra which means flower in Arabic. So that if anyone see's they wouldn't suspect much. Zahran drove himself home just smiling ear to ear. She never dared to text him again, but she waited for him to text her. Mariam dozed off on her bed before everybody returned from the reception.

Mariam woke up for Fajr prayer, she did wudu in that freaking cold water, then completed her Salah and went to down to eat something as she was too hungry, she came up and opened her phone, a message was there from last night, it was from a number which she recognised but she never dared to save it..the message said.

+971xxx: From whom are you trying to escape? If u move from Abu Dhabi and got settled in Edinburgh that doesn't mean you've gone away from us, you will anyway come back searching for the bits. 6.47AM.

Mariam swallowed a lump formed below her throat, She felt her take heavy breaths as her heartbeat accelerated but however it was just a threat as she knew those people were not here in the city. But still being a young girl she had no one to comfort her or to share her feelings or fears, she sobbed silently; Being Quiet as possible her fingers clawed at the corners of her stole as her body shivered due to her breathless cries.

She missed her mother the most, Mariam thought that she would never ever spare the anyone who was also a small reason for the murder.

Glossary:

Wudu: ritual washing to be performed in preparation for prayer and worship.

Salah: Salah is an Arabic word whose basic meaning is "bowing, homage, worship, prayer". In its English usage, the reference of the word is almost always confined to the Muslim formal, obligatory worship.
