At my chamber
    Rabi! Tell him to come in, ohk princess she replied as she turned to leave. Assalamu alaikum princess, wa'alaikumusalam yaya Ammar, welcome please sit, I welcomed him. Thank you princess, Tanzeel you are here this early morning is everything okay? He asked in concern, yes everything is fine she replied smiling. Ohk, I saw you going out last night all dressed up Amaal, where did you go to? That was when I even remembered I went to the club last night, my head spinned in circles, all I could remember was me taking a soft drink, and then uff black out. I went to Tanzeel's house I replied him, Tanzeel's house? And she is here again this early morning, are you guys okay? Yes, I wasn't feeling good yesterday so she escorted me back home and spent the night here, I lied. Ohk, ehen I came to ask you if you've bought a dress for the party? Yes yaya Ammar, I have. Ohk, I will leave you guys he said as he turned to leave, bye, bye. Tanzeel! I called out her name as I turned back to her, what happened yesterday? I also don't know Amaal, yesterday  you started behaving strangely and dancing, after that you excused yourself and told me your were going to the privy, that's all I know, after like 30 minutes, a bar tender came dragging you, you were so drunk that was why I brought you home. Drunk? But you know I don't drink, all I took yesterday was soft drink nothing more. Amaal! Was your drink spiked?  Tanzeel asked, I don't know but that was what i was thinking to. Who could have done this? My drink? Spiked. What could be the mission behind this? My phone rang which distracted me from my thinking. Hello! I heard a very familiar voice, you can check your phone you have a message. He said as he cutted the call not waiting for my reply. I know this voice I murmured as I dropped my phone. Who called you?  Tanzeel asked. Yes yes, I remember, Mr red, it was him Mr red, I know his voice....

At the king's chamber
   King Sultan sat on his royal chair thinking of a way out, he can't just give up his pride, call off the war and call for peace, that will be a slap on his face. Your highness! One of his servants came in with slightly bowed head, Waziri and the chief of army are here, he delivered his message and turned to leave. Assalamu alaikum Your highness they greeted as they slightly bowed their head, wa'alaikumusalam king Sultan answered with levity, Your highness! The Chief of army started, all our soldiers are prepared for this war but we still need a little more time because some of our soldiers were attacked at the gate of Julan yesterday by the Bulkan soldiers, we lost some soldiers and some wounded, he concluded as he bowed slightly. We have it take this serious Your highness, they are proofing to be dangerous, Waziri added. Hmm king Sultan sighs of relief, ohk just make sure  all our soldiers are ready. You can leave now, its obvious that King Sultan is not in a good mood, this matter is a matter of concern he thought. Our soldiers are already dead even before the war, hmm.
At my chamber
Mr red.... He's the one.... my voice was trembling, Amaal control yourself Mr red what did he say? Tanzeel asked, he told me he sent me a message I said as I quickly picked up my phone to check the message. Innalillahi wainailahi raji'un (from God we are and to Him we shall return) was all I could utter, I didn't even know when the phone fell from my hand, I sat down on the floor as tears filled up my eyes. Amaal what happened? Please say something, Tanzeel saw I wasn't ready to reply, she picked up the phone and checked the message ‘come and meet at the same place we first met at 7:00pm tonight’ Was The message attached to my nude pictures. Innalillahi wainailahi raji'un. Tanzeel sat next to me trying to console me. What have I done to deserve this? Who have I offended? I asked crying bitterly. Calm down Amaal we will find a solution to this. Solution? Solution to what? Everything is ruined Tanzeel, everything..... Its not about me, its about the trust both my parent have in me. I can't afford to tarnish the king's image, I can't.....  Tanzeel please help me. Amaal you need to calm down and think straight, first you have to think of a way of meeting this strange man before we know the way forward, we have to know what his motive is Tanzeel said. Mr red! Maybe he's talking about the garden, that was where I first saw him I suppose. Ohk we'll met him at 7.
