Samira was giving out dinner orders to the house help when she heard him yelling her name.

"Samira, Samira" his bellow filled the house
She came running out of the kitchen just in time to meet him in the sitting room.
One look at Kamal and she knew the cat was out of the bag.

"Really Samira? She left with all her family?" He barked
Samira just stood, she opened her mouth to talk but nothing came out.
"Why are you just staring at me? Have you run out of lies?" He shifted in his position and stood firm, he balanced.

"This is the point where you start explaining?" He said and when Samira didn't offer any explanation he became even more frantic.
Samira had never seen this side of Kamal and it was scary.

"Breast cancer?" He continued to yell "and you thought it fit not to even give me a clue"

"I'm so sorry" Samira started, and she really was "Amal didn't want you to know"

He shook his head in sorrow.

"How did u even know" Samira asked. Kamal was so astounded that Samira had the nerve to ask him that but he was going to humor her.

"Her oncologist, Dr Salma? My aunt"
Samira didn't see that coming.
"I saw her today, you should've told me" he said disappointed.

"I made a promise to her that I wouldn't, my hands were tight" she tried to explain but Kamal didn't look like he was having any of it.

"You are my cousin: For God's sake, you are like my sister" he continued.

"She's like my sister too Kamal, forgive me for not telling you but i owe it to her" Samira tried.

He nodded

"You broke my heart" he said defeatedly and walked out.

"I'm so sorry" Samira called after him, and if he did hear; he never turned or bothered to acknowledge.

Samira slumped on the couch. She had dread this day, and this was it.

The fact that Amal hadn't called her yet made her anticipated that Amal hadn't seen Kamal, and she still doesn't know he saw her.

Now Kamal will find Amal's resident by every means possible. It was just a matter of time before He shows up at Amal's house.
She fetch her veil and called on the house help, she left a message for when her mother comes back from work.
