"Peace be upon you. You're... Harun, right? Can I have a word with you for a minute? There's something I wanna tell you. Private stuff, you know?" Zulaikha started the conversation with one of the guards wearing the name tag of 'Harun'.
"Peace be upon you too. You wanna talk to me? Yeah, sure you can. I don't mind chatting with you, in fact I am willing to spend the next hour chatting with you. Let's say... you wait me here for another couple of minutes. I'm off duty by then, and we can go somewhere else. I'll buy a cup of coffee," replied Harun with added enthusiasm, even though he didn't know Ismi Safeya.
Ismi Safeya understood what Harun meant by then. She knew Harun could not be trusted, but she grabbed the man's arm and pulled him to the side. She came closer to his ears, and readied herself to whisper something into them. "Harun... I think you are pretty lucky to get someone as beautiful as Mira. I'm just curious... how did you manage to do that?" Zulaikha pretended to ask, and showed an innocent face.
"Well, well... you really get me interested. Who are you really? I don't think I know you." Harun shook his head a few times and looked at Ismi Safeya's face with a cheeky smile.
Bingo! The guard's reaction confirmed that he was the man talked about by Mira and her friend. She was glad. She even started planning how to get Harun into her trap. "My identity is not important to you. The crucial thing is what I'm going to tell you. Do you know I have a note from Mira?" asked Ismi Safeya with a straight face.
"A note?"
Harun became really interested and he came closer to Ismi Safeya. Ismi Safeya tried to remain calm, her mind racing on what to be talked about in a few moments to come.
