"Did Ibrahim forget something?" She muttered underneath her breath, then averted her gaze to Adnan. "Please get the door for me, darling."

"Okay, Mommy," Adnan replied, running towards the door immediately.

"It's you!" Zynah heard Adnan's voice from within. "How did you find our house, sir?"

Zynah's brows furrowed in confusion. "Who's there, Adnan?"

"It's the kind sir, from yesterday," He shouted. "Should I let him in?"

Zynah scoffed. "Tell him to wait outside. I'm coming," she shouted back.

She served some food on Bilal's plate. "You can start eating," she instructed. "I'll be back now." She placed it in front of him, picked her hijab from the living room, before sauntering outside to meet the 'mister.'

Zynah huffed again.
