They all cat walked in and every guy in the room notice the beauty of this pack. Zara was the most charming of all three girls. They all put on a lovely smile and sang a birthday song for Nazlin. Faridah joined them and they all celebrated their friend.
A black stunning guy approached Zara while she was talking with Faridah

Zara & Faridah: Hi… Nice to meet you. (they respond at same time)
Rasheed: Please can I know your names?
Zara: ohh don’t mind our manners, My name is Zara and my friend here is Faridah. So let me excuse you two (Trying to walk out on them)
Rasheed: No need for that I came here for you. (He held Zara’s hand as she tries to leave)
Faridah:(feeling quit jealous and I don’t know why)  I think I’ll have to leave you two instead. (She walked out starring at Rasheed seductively) 

Present Day
(That’s how we meet. And we became close friends and dated. He always visited home and bought me gift everytime) – Zara narrates her story to the whole family.
Naomi: wow!.. I didn’t know you’ve once dated. So why did you break up with him? Is it because he’s a cultist?
Zara: No… I broke up with him because I caught him cheating several times and there was no remorse from him. But I never knew he was a cultist.
Dad: (facing the two inspector in the room) Zara has told us all what she knows about this guy and from what she said she had no idea on the business he’s into so I want you guys to do your diggings and give me feedback.
Inspector 1: Okay Sir, we will continue our investigation and make sure we find his hide out.
Dad: Good. Also I’ll need extra security from you guys to watch over my children. That would be all for the now. Thank you inspector. Extend my greetings to the commissioner. (He stood up to shake them)
Inspector 1&2: Thank you very much Sir.
Dad: Farad, Naomi and Zara I need you to be careful and more watchful. (We all replied “Okay Sir”.
Stephenie: It’s good to have y’all back  
Step Mum: Yeah… I Miss you kid. I was so nervous when Farad arrived late last night.
Zara: Come on mum. We are not kids and it’s good to see you
