Hajiya Salma looked rather displeased as she stared at her youngest who looked more annoyed than guilty at being caught.
"Fahad ne," (It was Fahad.) she replied, sucking in a breath.
"Fahad?" Hajiya Salma gasped. "Najmah are you in your right senses? How dare he come to see you? You refuse to give your husband a listening ear yet you have the time to talk to your ex? Has he no shame? He dares to come to my house to speak to you knowing that you're still married?"

Flawed Hearts Finer Points on Schizoid Personality Disorder
Schizoid personality disorder is a pattern of indifference to social relationships, with a limited range of emotional expression and experience.
