"Jabir, I swear to God if you get me caught I won't go down alone." Amrah rasped into the phone.

She had actually landed in Nigeria same day with Imran and Ruwaida. Jabeer insisted she came back they had to finish everything together. Fearing his bipolar disorder she had agreed to come back.

"Trust me, I don't want you to miss out on this."

She rolled her eyes before getting her car key and heading to the address he sent her.

"What do you mean she hasn't arrived there yet? Ummee said alarmed.

It was getting dark and after trying Airah's number and it wasn't going through Ummee decided to call Deedee and ask her if Airah was at Mamy's only to get an answer that almost gave her a stroke.

"She left about 2 hours ago. What do you mean she isn't there. Are you sure Khadija? What about the driver has he returned?"

"No Ummee, he hasn't too, but I'll go and check Airah's house now. May be she went there since she wanted to go there in the first place. Ummee please don't worry too much. I'm sure she's there." Deedee tried to reassure her.

Mamy hearing parts of the phone call was already on edge as well.

"Khadija, don't tell me Airah is not at her parents."

"Mamy I'm sure she must have branched over to her house today get a few things. I'll go check now."

Deedee left for Airah's only to find a locked house. She knew something was definitely wrong then but didn't want to make their parents worry. She got back to her car and called Amal.

"Amal, Did Airah come over to your house?"

"No Deedee, last I saw her was at the hospital. What happened?"

"Uh, I thought may be she branched over she was suppose to be at Mamy's but she isn't yet."

"May be she hasn't left home yet, right? "

"Well, may be. I'll call and ask Ummee. Sorry to bother you."

She was scared as hell now. Airah wouldn't go anywhere else apart from Amal's in her condition. Rhabee was not in the country so her place is ruled out. Where could she be then?

Reluctantly she called Kabeer.

"Hey babe. I'm on my way to Mamy's right now."

"Oh, don't go there yet. Meet me at Areef's. Did you take Airah to see Areef?"

"No, I didn't. What happened?" he asked alarmed.

"Just come meet me now."

A few minutes later she saw Kabeer's car entering the lane.

"Why are you outside? And isn't Airah supposed to be at Mamy's?"

Instead of answering him Deedee burst into tears. Kabeer became more confused but he was by his wife's side at once and hugged her trembling form.

"Kabeer I think Airah is missing!" she cried admist sobs.

"What?! What do you mean missing?"

"She's not at her parent's she's not at Mamy's, Amal's and she's not here. She's missing Kabeer."

Kabeer was at lost for words. What was happening. What type of trial are they going through right now. It's just one thing after another.

"Kabeer? What is it. Do you know where she might be? "
