Chapter 27

"Who knocks by this time of the day" Abdulrahman grumbled, tossing on the bed.

"Just go back to sleep, I'll go check" I smiled sweetly at him while I was feeling mad at the person who was knocking.

Maryam!, I yelled in my head because she would be the only one to knock by 3:00 am. She might have been trying my number. I'd switched it off because I didn't want any disturbance. I needed my perfect sleep.

The rain was pouring vigorously, the cool breeze of the rain was entering through the opened window.

"No, you wait here" he groaned, taking his jalabiya. I went out without waiting for him.

Wallahi, I'm going to deal with Maryam today, I thought angrily. I went to the kitchen to take a spatula to hit her head with it.

Maryam, Maryam Maryam! I chanted in my head.

The banging on the door never ceased to stop. I opened the door, "Maryam..." My eyes

widened and my mouth shut when I saw it was Yusuf's mother who was drenched and was shivering in the cold.
