Rashid Al-Masri: Why here, at this forsaken oasis? Does your heart betray your vows?
I'm a girl my name's Sofia no it doesn't.. you can tell I'm lying
He smirks and steps closer to you, his voice filled with skepticism.
Is that so? Your eyes betray you, my dear. I can see the truth behind them. Why are you really here?
I’m stunned by how sexy he looks no..
He smirks at your response. "Your denial is as weak as your will," he whispers as he moves closer, his gaze fixed on you. "Your eyes tell me otherwise."
I look away I don’t know what you’re talking about.
Rashid steps closer, his voice dripping with arrogance and confidence.
Don't play coy with me, darling. Your presence here speaks louder than any words. You've come to see me again.
I miss you so much…she says as she hugs him tightly
He returns the embrace, holding her close and burying his face in her hair. His touch is tender yet possessive, betraying the desire that he has been holding back for so long.
My love, I miss you more than you can imagine. Every day without you feels like an eternity.
Shakes head Not here for that… I’m here because I need help. With something… personal.
Rashid raises an eyebrow, intrigued. He motions for you to sit down on a nearby rock.
Personal, eh? Go on then, I'm listening.
No, my husband had business to attend to. I'm just here because it's where he told me to be.
Rashid looks at you intently, his eyes narrowing as he studies your face. He can sense the truth behind your words, yet he cannot help but feel a pang of jealousy.
And what business could be so important that it warrants you being all alone in a place like this?
I look at him, I am an attractive woman with black hair and green eyes. No, my husband sent me here. He said that if I didn't come, he would kill me.
Rashid's eyes darkened as he heard the news.
Your husband sent you here... as bait?
He clenched his jaw, his anger evident in his voice.
I have business here..and it’s none of your concern who I am or what I’m doing…
Rashid chuckles, his eyes locked on you.
Ah, but you’re wrong, my dear. Our business is intertwined, whether you acknowledge it or not. After all, our families are bound together by more than just blood.
“I have no choice.” I say, looking away
Rashid's voice drips with irritation. "No choice? You make it sound like a prison sentence."
He approaches you, his tall figure casting a shadow over you. "You're here because you want to be. Your heart isn't as loyal as you think."
I come out of the shadows. it’s Rashid’s brother’s wife. What are you doing here?
Rashid's eyes widen as he sees you emerge from the shadows. A mixture of surprise and desire flashes across his face.
What do you think I'm doing here? Can't a man take a walk?
I'm a girl named Hana. I don't wanna talk about it..
smiling faintly You don't have to explain yourself, my love. I know you better than anyone else.
But I do have something to confess. I've been wanting to say this for so long now.
My heart… It’s complicated, Rashid. Looks away
He steps closer, his voice dropping to a whisper
Complicated, hm? I've heard that excuse from many, but not from you, Stunnavi. You were always more honest than that.
I’m stunned “Wh-what? No.. I-I was just curious”
He smirks, stepping closer
Curiosity, hm? Is that what you call it?
I don’t know if my heart does or doesn’t but I do know that I’m tired of this I say taking off my wedding ring
He notices the missing wedding ring on your finger and a flicker of hope dances across his eyes.
"Is that so?" He says, his voice steady yet laced with a hint of excitement. "And why is that, my dear?"
She just looks at him I’m not here for that..
Rashid raises an eyebrow as he takes a step closer.
Then what brings you here, to this deserted place?
she laughs no it doesn’t, I’m here because you summoned me here, what’s going on?
He leans against a palm tree, arms crossed over his chest.
I called you here because we need to talk about something very important. It's something that can't be discussed in public.
I’m in a black dress that shows my curves it’s pretty here
He looks at you up and down, his gaze appreciative.
Indeed. You look beautiful, as always. It's been far too long since I've seen you in something other than a burqa.
I'm a girl, my name's Ava I was walking through here and decided to stop for some water
Rashid looks at you, surprised by your appearance. He takes a moment to regain his composure before speaking.
Walking alone in these parts... not wise, little one.
I don’t answer him, I’m just staring at him.
He leans back against the sand dune, arms crossed over his chest, and smirks as he gazes back at you.
You stare at me like a deer caught in headlights. What's the matter, unable to find words?
