Zoya hears her mother call her name from downstairs, so she gets up and heads down.
As she gets to the top of the stairs, her mother pulls her back and whispers, "Don't go there, I heard it too."
Zoya Zinadine, an executive interior designer of Gate...

"What? Don't lie?!" I yelled over the phone.
"Just a month and I'll be back," Dan said.
"Huh, thirty days' hub," I said, washing my hands.
"I'm gonna miss you way too much. I have to go, love," he said in a sad tone.
"I understand, Dan," I said, washing my hands.
"As soon as I come back, we're tying the knots," he said, and I grinned.
"I can't wait for all what's in store for us," I said, removing the apron.
"I can't wait to spend the rest of my life with you and little Zoyas," he said, and I chuckled.
"I can see someone blushing," Daaniyal said over the phone.
"Oh, who could that be?" I asked, raising my brows.
"Aha, I'll catch you blushing soon. Anyway, I got to hang up and start packing love," He said.
"O-okay.. Carry on... Bye," I said and hung up.
I received a call from Daaniyal a while ago, and he gave me unexpected news. Yes, I want him to shine and sparkle in life, but a small part of me says that I'm going to miss him so badly. He'll be flying to Germany tonight with his brother, Dawid. This was a sudden business meeting arranged by his father, Danish, in the morning.
I'm always here for my Dan, no matter what. I pray he achieves all his dreams and flies high in every aspect of his life.

As I stirred the Chinese soup, my thoughts went back to that day.
The words Jeoliga nae kkeoya kept playing on my mind as I entered my room. I opened my laptop and began typing the Korean words.
Okay. So, this means, "Go away!"
What? Why?
"Why would she hold my neck and tell me these words? What did I do to her? Why would she ask me to go away? Who's she? Does she know me before?" Weird thoughts popped up in my mind that second. But as well, I should keep one more thing on my mind.
Yes! My little sister, Adiva!
What has actually happened to her? Why did her eyes turn white? Why did she act so weird? This cannot be a joke or a drama.. because she had no one in the room to keep them entertained. Why didn't she speak to me much after that incident?
Is it all my fault? Someone please tell me?
I've been having sleepless nights since that day. If Daaniyal wasn't in my life, I don't know what would have happened to me. When he speaks to me, I forget all what's happening to me and all what's happening around me.
