Ramlah was reading A Quest For Vengeance on GOODNOVEL by deey_jah when Dr. Muslim's call came through. Since the day Adnan was discharged, they hadn't really spoken with each other. She wondered why he was calling. Perhaps, he dialed her number by mistake. Swiftly clicking on the receive button, she put the phone against her ear. "Assalamu' alaykum," She greeted, and kept quietly afterward, waiting for him to speak up. "Wa'alaykum salaam, Ramlah," his husky voice filled Ramlah's ear, sending chills down her spine. Ramlah puffed out her cheeks before mumbling. "Oh! So he knows I'm the one. Good morning, Doctor!" "Morning. How have you been?" How's everyone else, especially my little boy, Adnan?" "We are all fine, Alhamdulillah," She replied, a frown etching her forehead. Did he call to ask her that? "Adnan is doing perfectly alright. His wounds have almost healed up. He runs around and plays too." "That's good to know," he said. Then silence. No one spoke for about a m

"What...what are you doing here?" Rashida asked again, her voice quivering. Bilal's gaze bored into her menacingly. "I'm not here for you, Madam. Where is Zynah? I need to speak to her urgently." Ignoring what he just said, Rashida whisper-yelled. "You should leave before anyone sees you. My parents are around, Ramlah too. Please just go. If anyone sees you, it won't be good." "Didn't you hear what I just said?" Bilal huffed. "I'm not leaving this house until I see my wife. Being Zynah out right now!" "She isn't here," Rashida seethed. "So please, get out!" She pleaded, her gaze darting around to ensure no one else apart from the gatekeeper had seen him. Bilal's brows furrowed in confusion. "Why are you so afraid anyway?" Rashida swallowed, an audible sound. "Why would I be afraid? I just don't want my family to see you after everything you did to my sister." "After everything I did to your sister?" He repeated, disbelief dripping off his tone. "Do you want us to go the

Instead of flaring up like Zynah had anticipated, Bilal chuckled. He actually chuckled. She gazed at him as if he had lost his mind. Did he not hear what had said? "Divorce me?" He chuckled again. "I don't want to believe you're serious right now," His expression hardened. "If this is a joke, you better not repeat it because it's not funny anymore. It was for a second though." "I'm not here to joke around with you, Bilal," Zynah's gaze bored into his. "I wouldn't have agreed to even see you otherwise. After everything you've done to me, the best thing you can do, is to allow me move on with my life. I deserve that at least." The sides of Bilal's lips lifted in a humorless smile. "That's never happening, Zynah. No one is moving on. We're going to be together again because we're destined to be. You're mine, and it'll remain like that forever." Zynah huffed, disbelief written all over her face. His effrontery was second to none. "I have given you a reply. I won't repeat mysel

Due to the commotion that happened, Ramlah had completely forgotten that she was supposed to meet up with Dr. Muslim today. She fumbled around for her phone, but couldn't find it. After searching for a few more minutes, she finally found it in a drawer. She checked her phone for missed calls. Her breath hitched when she saw twelve missed calls. Nine from Dr. Muslim and three from her two of her friends. She quickly dialed his number first and waited impatiently for him to pick up. "Assalamu' alaykum!" She greeted as soon as he picked up. "Wa' alaykumussalaam," he replied, then remained silent. "I'm so so sorry," Ramlah apologized, bitting her lower lip. "I missed your calls and I couldn't even return them earlier. Something came up at our house, so our meeting skipped my mind." "I was beginning to think you purposely ignored the calls, because you changed your mind about meeting up with me." "If that was the case, I would have bluntly said that to you yesterday. I

Ramlah slammed the door to her room, and collapsed on the bed on her back. She hit her head repeatedly acting so rashly. She didn't know what suddenly got into her. She was angry, that was certain, but she didn't mean all she said. She just wanted to make her point clear to Zynah. She got frustrated when she wasn't succeeding, and out of frustration, she decided to say hurtful things to her to get her to understand how wrong she was. She had said those things because she deeply cared about Zynah, and didn't want her to invite Bilal back into her life. In the past, she had supported and encouraged Zynah to be with whom her heart had chosen. But after finding out how he had turned out, she felt guilty for she was the reason Zynah agreed to elope with Bilal in the past. if she didn't get any support from her, she wouldn't have done it. As a way to rectify her mistake, she had promised herself to do everything in her power to keep the two apart. By introducing Adnan to Bilal, Ramlah
