CHAPTER 20
“You have my ticket and passport, right?” I say to Ismail who has been busy with his phone since we got into the car.
“Yes, I have it,” he says, not taking his eyes off his phone.
“Alright and are we stopping for breakfast on our way?” I ask feeling very hungry.
“You can have something to eat on the plane, we don’t need to stop.”
“We have to stop and get something for me. Do you want me to starve before we get to… where are we going first again?” I say holding my stomach.
“You won’t starve, and we are going to Greece first.”
“I can’t wait to go to Greece, but Ismail, please let me get something to eat before we leave,” I plead.
“Not necessary because we have arrived,” Ismail says getting out of the car.
“We are at the airport already, that was fast,” I say surprised stepping out of the car.
“Ismail you own a private jet?” I ask noticing we are standing in front of a plane and not at the car parking lot.

I have been sleeping all night long since we arrived on the island Mykonos in Greece. It’s morning now but I am still sleepy because of the jetlag. It’s 10:00 a.m. already. I woke up earlier to pray Fajr (morning prayer) but went back to sleep.I am meeting Ismail in the resort restaurant to go over some files that he needs my help with. I step into the restaurant and see him at the far end, close to the beach. I walk over to join him.While sitting down, I remove my sunglasses and my Panama hat, but my hair is still covered with a hijab cap. This causes Ismail to greet me with his beautiful, but annoying laughter.“Have you looked in the mirror this morning?” Ismail asks laughing.“I know I look horrible but surely not that bad.” I know my eyes are bloodshot and red from lack of sleep. There are bags under my eyes, making me look grim, but I doubt I look bad enough to make him laugh.“Please put on your su

After Ismail and I finish eating I go back to my room to shower and get ready to meet up with Fatima later in the day.I take a bath and wear a yellow floral full-length gown. I tie my hair with a brown hajib which matches the flowers on my dress. I am also wearing black sandals.A few hours later, I pray Dhuhr and meet up with Fatima downstairs for lunch in the hotel’s restaurant.“As salamu Alaykum,” I greet hugging Fatima.“Wa alaykumu salam,” Fatima says standing up to hug me.“How are you doing?” I ask sitting down.“I am good and you?” Fatima replies sitting back down.“I am good too. You won’t believe what I found out after all these years,” I say.“What did you find out?” “You know how I thought Ismail was the reason I got fired for all those years?” I say taking a sip of Fatima’s drink.“Yes, and don&rsquo

We are currently in Italy. Ismail and I are having dinner outside at this beautiful restaurant. The sky is so beautiful, with all the stars shining so bright. I am wearing a satin burgundy mermaid gown. This is our last week in Italy. We spent the first two weeks working and the last week is spent like a vacation.“So, I have been meaning to ask you,” I say while eating my steak.“What?” Ismail asks.“How long have you known Udar was in love with Fatima, and you didn’t tell me?” I ask trying to sound indignant.“Why?” Ismail says chuckling, “Am I supposed to tell you that?”“Yes, you are supposed to tell me,” I reply, “Because… we’re friends,” I say realizing it is true. Having gotten to know Ismail better over the past weeks and especially during this trip, we have gotten close, and I enjoy his company more than I ever thought I would. When I think of how

While driving back to the hotel Ismail gets a call from Udar telling us that Fatima has fainted, and they are in the hospital. I ask the driver to quickly drive to the hospital, wondering what could have caused Fatima to faint. I pray the whole way to the hospital, hoping that nothing serious has happened to my best friend.We arrive at the hospital and quickly walk inside and ask for directions to the room number Udar gave us. We take the elevator to the second floor. That is where Fatima’s room is. We arrive at the room and Ismail is about to knock on the door, but I stop him. I can hear their conversation and I think we should not disturb them.“Udar, you called me your love,” Fatima sounds very tired and rundown.“Yes, my love. You are my love. Fatima, you are the love of my life. I have never loved anyone as much as I love you. I love you so much that seeing you faint in my arms was a wakeup call for me to tell you how much you mean

We are in Paris. I just finished praying Fajr (Morning prayer) not too long ago and am waiting for room service to bring my breakfast when there is a knock at the door. I open the door and ask for my breakfast to be placed on the table on the terrace.I am about to start eating when I notice a letter and a box with a beautiful looking black rose, my favorite. ‘I wonder who sent it. I guess I should open the letter to find out’. I open the letter, and it reads:As-salamu alaykum, my beautiful African queen. How was your night? I hope you slept as well as I did, and I hope you like the flower I bought for you. I know it’s your favorite. I also got you a few things I think would look lovely on you. Look inside the box and let me know if I am right. I pick up the box and open it to see the finest bracelet I have ever seen. It is a rose petal diamond bracelet framed in rose gold. There are rose gold pave diamond knot earrings, and

Ismail and I have arrived at the hotel where we are meeting the owner to discuss our app, but he or she hasn’t arrived yet. I am about to suggest to Ismail that maybe we should leave, when a guy who looks like he just rushed out of bed walks up to our table.“I am so sorry for being late Mr Uthman, I had an unexpected issue I had to deal with,” he says with a thick French accent while adjusting his tie. He is tall, over 6 feet, has black hair, a lean build and doesn’t look older than 26 or 27.“It’s fine, Mr. Baron,” Ismail answers.“And who might this lovely lady be?” Mr Baron asks, checking me out from head to toe with lust in his eyes.“I am Miss Isa,” I say primly, trying not to sound hostile because I don’t like the way he is looking at me.“If I had known such a pretty lady was waiting for me, I would have come sooner,” Mr Baron says smirking.“I

A week has gone by so quickly. I am exhausted from all the meetings we had. It is Saturday and I have been sleeping all morning, although I woke up for Fajr. I am trying to pretend that I can’t hear Emma banging on my door for me to wake up, but too late for that because I am already up. I walk lazily to my door and open it before she breaks it down.“Umit, why are you not dressed,” Emma says walking into my room.“Because I was sleeping before you decided to wake me up,” I answer going back to my bed.“You can’t go back to sleep. Have you forgotten we have to go shopping today,” Emma says pulling me up.“I didn’t forget, I just want a few more hours of sleep,” I try to lie back down.“I know you are tired but today and tomorrow are the only days you are going to be free before the gala. So, please get your lazy body off the bed so we can go,” Emma says pulling me up with
