Chapter 42

  STRANGE MESSAGE

  Salamat was worried.

  She couldn't hide it.

  Saleem wasn't picking her calls and her fears were increasing every minute.

  She had been calling him since she left her mother's room and this was past 8 pm already.

  Was he still mad at her? She couldn't say.

  Or did something bad happened to him? She kept wondering.

  After taking dinner, she was feeling sleepy, even though dinner was unusually quiet. She had gone to her room shortly after, to sleep.

  After a second thought, she decided to give Saleem a call before sleeping to see if he would pick but his refusal to pick had made the sleep vanished. She was wide awake now and alert.

  And she felt uneasy for no reason.

  She called him one more time before dropping the phone to go out of the room. Then her phone beeped and she rushed back to her bed in excitement. She was sure the message was from him.

  She opened the inbox with her heart leaping wildly.
