"Yes, I'm moving tomorrow. Just wanted to let you guys know." Allen eyes widen looking at him.
"And you are telling me now? What the heck dude?" Allen said standing up.

Noah was sitting down in the living of Allen and Gicel house, he wanted to tell them his decision.

"Noah you're leaving for Dubai?" Gicel said with a sad expression. John who was sitting on his mother's lap looked up to Noah.

"No-no you're leaving me?" He said getting off Gicel lap and walking to Noah and sitting on his lap hugging.

Noah wrapped his arms around him and kissed his head. Noah nods.

"Yes, I know it's all a sudden, but I want this. My heart wants to go to that place."

"I know it's far. But you guys can visit me, and I will visit you guys after all you're my family too.!" Noah said standing up and walking to Allen with John in his arms.

"Allen please don't be sad about me." "I can't stop you and I won't stop you. Do what makes you happy. I want you to relax for a while." Allen said.

Noah hugged him. "No-no" John said crying.

Noah kissed his tears away. "I will call you; I will visit you baby—-okay." Gicel took John in her arms tapping his back gently.

"John love, we will visit no-no okay." He finally nods, yawning.

"I will put him to sleep." Saying this Gicel walked away with John.

Noah hugged Allen "Allen I want to thank you." Noah said pulling back.

"You were with me always. Always there when I call you. I'm grateful to have someone like you. A best-friend, Business partner and a brother" "do not make me emotional.!"

Noah tapped his shoulder gently. "Oh, and don't worry I have transferred my office work to Dubai I will be working from there. And we will meet again"

Allen nods "Noah take care of yourself. Know that I am always here for you."

Two months had passed living in Dubai, he loved already. Everything was the same, but now he prayed at least he tried to, he would go to the mosque most of times listen to the Imam and pray behind the Imam. And give charity.

His focus was on God, learning words like Mashallah, Subhan Allah and more.
But there was one word he hated because it will and always made him remember her.

It was the word inshallah, he would remember her using that word.

Noah would usually go to the mosque when no one was really Present, one of the reasons is he hated seeing women in hijab. His heart beat would increase, thinking that she could be them. But when they turned around it was not her.

Memory is a punishment sometimes.

He would come to the mosque and head to the men section and sit in one corner. He still did not know how to read the Quran in Arabic, but he was not giving up, he had hired himself a Quran teacher to teach him.

And his dad was upset with him. Noah knew, he was not happy a little about Noah moving to Dubai. He would only call him about business and that is it.
He clearly told Noah that if he accepted his proposal of marrying Ashley, then he would Welcome him and not be upset with him.

Noah did not argue with him and left him.

And yes, he did not visit Allen nor did Allen or his family visit Noah. They were super busy since Noah moved and everything had to be adjusted.

Nights were his favorite, after praying he would sit down and make Dua. He himself would not even notice how long he would sit and make Dua.

He didn't mention her name at all.

One years later.

"I love you no-no" John said kissing Noah's cheek and ran to the playground.
While Allen and Noah laugh.
"I love you more.!" Noah shouted.

Allen and Noah sat down watching John running around.

Allen is visiting Noah in Dubai with John.
Gicel didn't come as she was spending some girls time alone with her friends. More like a vacation.

They arrived a week ago and were having the best time.
Allen just stared at his friend.

"Noah it's been a year since you moved here, you didn't visit us." Noah looks down at his hands

"Noah." Allen call.

He looks up at him.

"Why don't you get married? Marry a Muslim women and settle down having kids. I know you don't like this topic but you're 21 years old. You have everything wealth, health good character. You have changed but a good changed more mature. But I know you, Noah. Deep inside you're in pain. You still didn't forget her!"

"Allen, I don't want to talk about this." Noah said standing.

Allen was about to reply when he heard his son crying in pain.

Both Noah and Allen looked towards John and ran to him. When they got there, they noticed John knee was bleeding.

It wasn't that good of a wound, but Allen and Noah freak out. immediately and gently They pick him up.
"Let's go to this nearby kids' pediatrics." Noah said Quickly walking up to his car.

When his phone started, he answered. It was his assistant he was needed in the office. Noah cut the call in anger.

"Allen I am needed in the office. It's important!" Allen nodded, putting John inside, as he was crying.

"It's okay.  I will go with your guards. Go I will call you and let you know about John. Don't worry." Noah nods feeling guilty for not Being with them.

Checking in to the kids pediatrics.
He gently put John on the bed. When the nurse quickly came in and checked his knees and wrote down some notes for the doctor.

"Doctor Khan will be coming!" The nurse said walking.

"That name sounds familiar!" Allen said kissing his son's cheek. As now he was not crying but with a sad pout.

Knocking twice the nurse entered the room and with some supplies for his knee. The nurse offered a lollipop so John could allow her to touch his knee.

As the nurse was slowly bandaging his knee. Another knock was heard. Allen slowly looks up at the door, when the door reveals Dr. khan.

"Hello, my name is Dr. khan-" when she stops talking, Allen's eyes were widen looking at her,

"Marwah!?" Allen said standing up.

It was like her soul was leaving her body.
Her cheeks were red. She cleared her throat, remembering that she was on duty.

She closed the door and came near them.

She asked John a few questions while he replied smiling.
The nurse informed her.

She completely ignored Allen's gaze. After everything was done, she wrote some pain medication for him. And look at Allen who was still standing there like he had seen a ghost.

"And you're done. Any questions?" She looked at Allen acting professionally as much as she could.

"Yes, we're done......um- can I please get another lollipop? Please." John requested to Marwah she look down at him smiling.

"I will get it!" The nurse said to walk out.

and Marwah stepped and walked to the nearby table looking through some papers. "You are a doctor now?" she heard his voice. She turns around to him. only God knows how she is trying not to shake and have a panic attack. "Everything else looks good I will be sending the discharge paper and you guys are good to go." Marwah said fake smiling and quickly left the room.

Allen rubbed his face with his hands, slapping himself twice to make sure this wasn't a dream. Marwah a few seconds ago was standing in front of him.

Just then the nurse came in with discharge papers and a lollipop. "Where is she? I mean Dr. Khan I need to speak with her now!" Allen said as he was getting angry.

The nurse nods giving the lollipop to john as he was waiting for it. and she handed Allen the discharge papers. "Sir, Dr. Khan just call out she is off duty as of now, she had some personal emergency. you guys are good to go." Allen was about to argue when John said he wanted to leave as he was feeling sleepy.

taking a deep breath Allen nod picking up john in his arms and slowly walk out.

Allen Pov

closing the guest room carefully I made sure not to make any sound as I put john in bed in Noah's mansion. I walked to the next room and sat down touching my head.

Marwah khan is her name. I never pay attention to her last name. She's here in Dubai, She's a doctor.

When she walked into the room, we both had the same expression. I was out of words just gazing at her. She looked different then I last saw her, she looked skinny, she had light makeup on with her dark brown hijab. I met her after so many years. I could tell she was uncomfortable with my presence as I didn't take my eyes off of her. Everyone looked for her, and here she was in Dubai living her best life. While my brother Noah suffered every second of life.

I took my phone and called my guards, security and demanded to find her address I did let them know she works in kids pediatric. I doubled the money and told anyone who finds her home address, her whereabouts. Any other important information. Including if she was married or had any guy in her life.

I literally am shaking as I sat down. I will make her life hell, for betraying making Noah's life hell.

I need answers from her. I will confront her. This time she won't run away. I will make sure of it.

I'm not sure if I should let Noah know.

No. I need to think first, how it will impact him. I need to talk to her.

-----

7pm

me and Noah are sitting outside in his beautiful garden. I don't realize how long I have been looking at him. "Do I look handsome today that you can't take your eyes off me." he smiles closing his laptop. I shake my head my thoughts are disturbing.

He looks at me. "Tell me Allen what's up." I sigh and look at him.

whether she has someone in her life or not. Noah has to meet her and get over it, because there is no way he'll ever move on. "What if you meet her?" He looked at me in the eyes and understood what I was trying to say.

"I-I don't know--but I know I won't be available to control myself---Can we not talk about this Allen" Noah said avoiding eye contact with me and getting up he walked away.

Always he runs away.

——

next day

Around 1 pm I left Noah's place telling him that I wanted to buy something for my wife. while he spends some time with john, they both agreed happily.

That's good.

I have received all of her Information from my guards. I reward them as I promised.
Today I found out she didn't come to work.

I'm going to meet her and talk. I don't care whether she likes it or not.

I received a text; I checked my phone to see one of my guards had sent me her location. She currently was at a mall.

Great! easy for me.

After reaching there, I entered the mall as usually it was crowded. But my guards lead me the way she was on floor 3.

As I get closer to her, she's standing next to a girl I assume her friend. Marwah says something to her, and she nods, they hugged each other, and Marwah left.

I walk behind her, telling my guards to meet me outside.

She's wearing a rose color hijab, in her hands some shopping bag she's looking down at her phone as she walks.

Finally, she walks to her car and puts the bags inside her car. As she turns around, I stand in front of her. She gasps stepping back, her eyes widen as she looks around and back to me.

I'm fuming right now. I hate her existence.

"What are you doing? Move back now!" She tries to act tough, but I can clearly see how nervous she is.

"You have some explanation to do. And I'm not letting go until I'm done!" I said it in a stern voice.

"Out—-out of my way Allen!" "Oh, so you remember who I am?"

A car pulls up. I look up to see it's my guards, and the three of them get out and quickly walk towards me.

I smirk and look at her, "you get in my car, and without any questions. Or we can have our ways!"

"And that will require—Touching you!" Tears left her eyes. I don't know. She deserves it.

"Please Allen. What are you trying to do? Just let me go please." "Last time warning you. I will myself drag you to the car. So, decide whether you are coming or not?"

She wipes her tears and looks around one more time and back to me. I'm Still glaring at her.

She nods, I step back and lead her the way.

I drove the car, her sitting in the passenger seat. I left my guards behind.

I don't know what I am doing. I don't know where to take her. I don't live here, so I don't have any places I own.

All I knew was I was driving somewhere far. After 30 minutes I stopped the car. "Get out of the car.!" I said getting out and walking to her side as she gets out, I can see that she's shaking.

I closed her door loudly. and she flinches stepping back from me. I look at her.

"tell me from your own mouth. Why did you leave? Where did you disappear? All the story from the years.!" She just looks at me. "Answer me, Marwah. Don't test my patience." "I have nothing to say."

"WHAT DO YOU MEAN? YOU HAVE NOTHING TO SAY? NOAH--HE SUFFERED SO MUCH BECAUSE OF YOU. ALL BECAUSE YOU PLAY WITH HIS FEELINGS AND GAVE HIM HOPE? THEN WHY DID YOU TELL HIM THAT YOU WANTED TO GAVE HIM A CHANCE? YOU DESTROYED HIS LIFE COMPLETELY. AND YOU HERE ENJOYING YOURSELF.!" I shouted at her.

Her eyes are telling me something else. She hides her emotions and chuckles "I did That- so that he could believe me, and I could run away from him. What do you think? Would he ever let me leave —just like that?"

I close my eyes. I want to slap her.

'You don' hit a women Allen' 

"So, was it true? You betrayed him?" She nods. I cannot believe this.
"How can you? Noah cry over you? You're not worth his love." I closed my eyes again, this is disgusting.

"What you did was disgusting did you know? He cried for you for years. He even attempted suicide but failed." She walks away from me.

I followed her and grabbed her shoulders and turned her around towards me. "Then why? Why the fuck are you crying for? What are these fake tears for?!" I shouted again.

She pushes me back. "I'm going to make your life hell starting now. You will regret every second of it.!"

She tries to push me back, but I tighten my grip around her. "Allen—-you're hurting me!" She pleads crying.

"You deserve every bit of it.!" I grab and pull her towards me. She is inch away from me.

"You're coming with me. I want Noah to see you. To see how disgusting and fake you are !" She starts sobbing. "Please Allen no-" I step back to drag her. When her eyes close and faints in my arms.

"Marwah marwah" I say shaking her.

"Fuck!" I hope she's okay. I pull her in my arms Looking around no one is Here.
