Zarah is standing in front of her mirror, dressed up in a maroon Abaya, she looked at her self again , thinking of changing it to the black one her usual colour, After few minutes of hesitation she decided to go with the maroon colour. Today is Saturday and she was invited to Amra's graduation, at first she doesn't want to go but after Amma called Ammi and then Ammi called her and told her to attend. She has no choice rather than to attend, Ammar is still in Ammi's house he still have two more weeks before school resumes. She sprayed her favourite perfume Arabian oud and she left the room. She existed the house and make sure she locked the door then she entered her car and drove off to American International College (AIC). The school for the elite, one of the best schools in Nigeria, not to mention that she herself was a graduate of the same school. She parked her car at the parking lot and call Amra to inform her that she has arrive. She looked through her car's tinted glass window and she so many crowds, at that moment she's a little bit uncomfortable because she hate too much crowds and this crowds are the elite of Nigeria, always flaunting wealth when it comes to gatherings, she knows that because she was once a student of the school and she knows what happens when they all gather in one place. She sighed, wore her black shades and exited the car, as she exited her car, the perceived the scent of different expensive perfumes hanging in the school atmosphere, she took a deep breath in and then out, locked her car and started moving towards the graduation hall because she knows her way around the school. She entered the hall midway into the ceremony and not wanting to catch too much attention,she sat at the back of the hall. She brought out her phone from her bag and texted Amra and informed her that she have already found her way to the hall. She returned her phone to her bag and concentrated on the ceremony going on. She was deep into watching the cultural display on the stage when someone tapped her.
Inalillahi, Zarah said very scared.
Calm down Zarah, you're such a fear fear lady, Ya Anwar said sitting next to her.
Ya Anwar you scared me, I was about to have a heart attack, Zarah said placing her both hands on her chest.
Then I'll take you to the hospital, Ya Anwar said laughing.

Relax teema am sorry, Ya Anwar said.
Appology declined, and by the way what are you doing here and how on earth do you know that am the sitted here, Zarah asked Ya Anwar.
I saw you coming into the hall like a thief and I can't help but notice you, Ya Anwar replied.

They kept quite and continue watching the ceremony and after almost an hour the ceremony is over.

Me too let me go and meet the rest of the family before they start looking for me, Ya Anwar said.
When Zarah heard the words "the rest of the family", her heart skipped and she wanted to get out of the hall at that moment. She hurried towards the exit door and went out, she sighed as soon as she is out of the hall.
Adda Zarah I was looking for you, Amra said coming towards Zarah.
