Ammarah's POV



Say you won't let go- James Arthur



I woke up with a strong determination today. After talking with Rayyan last night, I've felt more encouraged to talk to them so I called in the morning and requested to see Dr Yahya. He had kept quiet for a while and then said yes.



After the phone call, I walked to my mother's room and gently knocked on the door. There was silence and after three knocks, she opened the door and looked at me



"Ammarah?



"I would like to talk to you"



Her face falls "Ammarah please. You need to-"



"I'm not talking about my parent" I quickly interrupted her



She raised a brow



"Well I'm not asking about them. I just want to know why and how you took me"



She was quiet for some time watching me

Her husband had looked at me when we were eating and said "Rayyan you're looking tired. Do you take your medications?



I nodded "Yes I do"



He said nothing and the dining fell into light conversation. After break

Rayyan's POV



Arcade- Duncan Laurence



I watched the taxi round and exited the corner before I sighed deeply and held my aching stomach. I walked back into the house and met the glaring eyes of my sister.



"How much have you hidden from Ammarah?



"What do you mean? I questioned avoiding her as I walk to the kitchen



"Well it's clear she knows only what you showed. For starters why did you take the cab Rayyan?



"Why shouldn't I? I asked turning to look at her



She sent me a glare "Rayyan you have so many cars! And you chose to take a cab"



"I told you it was an unplanned visit"



"Your car is in the market's garage. How many minutes will it take you to take it out and drive her here?



She saw the guilt in my face and smiled sadly "You haven't told her who you are have you? She thinks you're a spice shop owner and that's it"



"Binta?



"Did you give her the sad little
