Chapter 5: The Obsession

Murad's feelings for Dr. Maryam became an all-consuming obsession. He began to show up at her office unannounced, hoping to catch a glimpse of her. He sent her gifts and messages, trying to win her over. Dr. Maryam was increasingly uncomfortable, but Murad wouldn't take no for an answer.

As the days turned into weeks, Murad's behavior became more erratic. He would show up at Dr. Maryam's office at odd hours, demanding to see her. He would leave flowers and chocolates on her doorstep, hoping to wear her down. Dr. Maryam tried to set boundaries, but Murad was relentless.
