Chapter 44: Sari (Act 7)
The morning light filtered through the curtains, casting a soft glow over the room. Rahim woke first, stretching as he sat up from the floor. His muscles protested slightly from the hard surface, but he ignored the discomfort, focusing instead on Sari.
She was still asleep on the bed, her face peaceful and serene for the first time since he’d met her. He watched her for a moment, a small smile tugging at his lips. She deserves this, he thought. A moment of peace after everything.
Quietly, he stood and began preparing breakfast in the kitchen with a simple meal of eggs and toast and not wanting to disturb her rest.
The sound of shuffling feet drew his attention, and he turned to see Sari standing in the doorway, clutching Lina’s oversized shirt tightly against herself. Her hair was messy from sleep, but she looked refreshed.
“Morning,” she said shyly.
“Morning,” Rahim replied with a warm smile. “I made breakfast.”
Her eyes lit up at the sight of the plate he handed her. “Thank you,” she said softly.
As they ate together at the small dining table, a comfortable silence fell between them, a stark contrast to the heavy tension of the night before.
Finally, Sari broke the silence, looking up at him with determination in her eyes. “Rahim… thank you for everything. I don’t know where I’d be without you.”
He shook his head modestly. “You don’t have to thank me, Sari. I’m just glad you’re okay.”
She reached across the table to squeeze his hand briefly before pulling away again self-consciously but there was gratitude written all over her face.
