Transcendence (A Muslim-Christian Story)
41 parts Complete "So you approached me without being aware of my identity?" He asks me, while raising an eyebrow.
To say I was shocked would be an understatement.
It takes me a while to compose myself and form a sensible reply. "Yes, I wasn't aware of your identity."
"You might think you can fool me, but trust me, this has happened quite a few times before as well." He says with a very serious expression.
I'm baffled by his accusation. This man has the audacity to question my intentions when he's the one trying to converse with me all along.
I don't know what comes over me, but whenever I'm overwhelmed with anger, it turns into tears.
And before I can compose myself, I taste the salty tears in my mouth.
I take a few deep breaths, place the cup on the side table and get up to leave. "Thank you for your hospitality and your excellent assessment of my character. I will now take your leave."
With that, I turn to head towards the door but he grabs my hand and pulls me towards him.
