Ahmed is sitting on the prayer carpet and looks down. His hands are fisted inside each other, and his arms are relaxed on his thighs. He inhales, closes his eyes, and raises his head. Then, he opens his eyes and exhales while dropping his head slowly. He stands up and picks his phone from the desk. He tabs on it and puts it on his ear. Leo replies:

"Hey, AHMED. What's up?"

Ahmed smiles:

"Hey Leo. How are you?"

Leo:

"I'm good. What are you doing?"

Ahmed blinks his eyes and drops his head down:

The story has been illicitly taken; should you find it on Amazon, report the infringement.

"Nothing. I just..."

Ahmed raises his head and smiles:

"It has been 15 days since we met!"

Leo:

"Aww, Ahmed. Where are you now?"

Ahmed:

"Home."

Leo:

"Well, I am coming. Wait for me."

Ahmed:

"Please, Leo. I need you."

Leo:

"I am coming quickly, dear. Do not worry."

Ahmed tabs on the phone screen, drops his arms, and looks to the floor.

On the other side, Maryia gets out from a grocery store and holds a bag in her fingers. Two women are coming in front of her. They are talking. One of them moves her arm and points forward, then looks to the other woman. Maryia hears them. Her psychosis is developing more and more. She experiences auditory hallucinations. She hears one of the two women telling the other:

"Look at this girl."

Woman (2) looks at woman (1) and laughs. They skip Maryia. Maryia crosses her eyebrows then looks behind her. She hears the two women talking. Woman (2) "Yeah, my cousin said that carpet is not the best."

Woman(1):

"Yeah, yeah!"

Maryia looks back in front of her. She continues walking and looks around her everywhere.
