Woke up to the sound of the cardio meter as I opened my eyes slowly adjusting my eyes to the light. I lazily looked around and saw Bashir with Turai's head on his shoulder both fast asleep and he looked tired too, with some girls I don't know....probably my fans. He looked at me with a smile that reached his eyes, I tried getting up but was pulled down by the wires connected to my body and I whimpered in pain
"NURSE! HE IS AWAKE!" Bash yelled seeking attention, a nurse approached me as I blanked out
Maryam's POV
Flashback
Mukhtar and I had already started planning our wedding but there is something still mystical about this place, I just can't figure out what. Mukhtar cut me out of my chain of thoughts by clearing his throat as I smiled up to him"I've been calling you for a while now, what is my princess thinking about?" He asked and I was not so sure how to answer that "You're thinking about me, your soon to be groom... am I right?" He asked and I nodded without hesitating "Which is the reason why I changed our wedding date to be tomorrow, so we could be together forever" he said excitedly "Whoa! That's earlier than I thought" I said nonchalantly
"I know darling" he said "What says the time?" I asked since there are no gadgets around here "That would be 3:45pm at prompt" he said smartly revealing his pearls "How come I don't hear the sound of adhan(call to prayer)" I said "They do..it's just far from here...you'd have to have a good hearing ability to hear them" he joked
"Yeah right. I was going to go get a hearing aid" I said sarcastically and he laughed"Let's go and pray" I said and he froze "We shall pray after having our lunch" he said snapping his fingers. In fact he always does that whenever I bring prayers up "What did you do that for?" I asked "Do what my love?" He asked smiling "Everytime I tell you about prayers you always do that" I said as his smile gradually disappears "I don't know what you're talking about" he snapped folding his arms
"Why don't you pray Mukhtar?" I asked "I do not just all the time" he shrugged "What do you mean? Allah is our creator without Him, we're nothing...how can you live not praying and giving Him gratitude always?" I asked "I don't want to talk about this" he said walking away as I quickly stepped in front him blocking his passage
"Baby please I never want to see you go astray. Allah would punish you if you don't pray... you read the Qur'an, don't you?" I asked "I don't need to pray to Him" "Why?" "Because I've got everything I need, riches, life, success and even power" "Allah gave you everything. Why won't you worship Him?" "I worship my God" he said with now very red eyes
"If you don't believe me, follow me and see" he said as I followed behind , we walked to a large room that was very beautiful with red curtains and roses that made it even more breathe taken, there was no furniture at all neither was there a carpet, it had sparkly blue tiles and we stopped at the centre of the room with a large star drawn on it and surprisingly no ceiling at the middle, so you could see the sky right above you
I wanted to ask questions but was hushed, so all I could do was watch. There was a dog in the cage, which he took with a knife in his hand
"What are you doing?" I asked concerned "Shhh! No more questions" he replied in a husky voice. The dog began to bark loudly and even threatened to bite which Mukhtar only look in the eye fiercely as it kept shutWords after words been muttered, he slit the dog's throat as I screamed "SILENT!" He commanded with a look I've never seen before, I nodded in agreement and watched him bathe in the now little pool of blood, astonished. He got up and wiped himself with a towel I didn't know was here till now.
"See! I told you" he said smiling "Tha...that's n..not ho..how to wo..worship God" I stuttered "I don't worship God" he said " Who do you worship then?" I asked "Satan" he replied
