Chapter 1 - The Bracelet




Ismi Safeya observed the movements of the sales lady in the gold store.  After she was really sure the sales lady didn't notice her presence, Ismi Safeya focused on what she really wanted to do.  The 24 carat of 916 gold bracelet really attracted her attention.  Without delay, Ismi Safeya dug her hands into the glass container which was exhibiting an array of gold jewelleries, including the bracelet as well.  Quickly, she unzipped her bag and slid the bracelet into it.  When the bracelet sank into the bottom of the bag, she zipped back the bag and made a nonchalant face.

Her earlier facial expression was rigid and anxious.  But now she felt calmer, because she felt half of her effort had already been done.  But she knew she should be careful because she was still inside the gold store.  Furthermore, the gold store is inside a shopping mall, Terminal One.  She tried as hard as she could to portray a simple and straightforwarded face while observing the sales lady. She knew the sales lady was ignorant.

Carefully, Ismi Safeya arranged her steps out of the gold store.  She felt her footsteps were as if the footsteps of a giant, too loud and hurting to her ears.  Her heart beats were as if the nuclear bomb which exploded repeatedly and mercilessly, and disturbed her sanity.

Now she was already out.  But she was still in the Terminal One, so she had to find a way out soon.  She continued walking.  In front of her now stood two guards on duty.  One of them was talking on the mobile phone.  The guard nodded and he gave a hand gesture towards the other guard on duty.  They discussed something, and their facial expressions were serious.  All of a sudden, Ismi Safeya felt as if her heart stopped beating.  Her instinct told her that something was obviously fishy and she had to find out.
