After Mohammad finished talking to his mother, he went to his room and picked up his phone. He found a message from Osama telling him to meet tomorrow to go shopping. Mohammad replied, "Okay, we will go to the market tomorrow." They then decided on the time and place to meet.
Mohammad, talking to himself: "Ah, I'm so excited! This is the first time I'm going shopping with a friend."
Excited, Mohammad and Osama met, greeted each other, and continued walking. Osama spotted a clothing store.
Osama: "Mohammad, let's go to the clothing store. Maybe I'll find some good clothes."
Mohammad: "Alright, let's go."
Osama: "Try this shirt. It's one of the newest shirts that just came out and caused a stir, but it's a bit expensive."
Mohammad: "Okay, let me try it on. If I like it, I might buy it."
Osama: "But it's so expensive! How can you afford it? Or are you really rich? It seems your dad is the CEO of a company."
Mohammad: "Who said I'm rich? And my dad is not the CEO. I don't even know what he does for a living."
Osama: "Alright."
They continued shopping, moving through all the stores, having a great time. Little did they know, Abdul Razzaq, Khaled, and Mustafa were secretly following them, along with a third-year student. While they were following them, they saw Aseel walking the same way. The third-year student, who had a secret crush on Aseel, feared that Aseel might meet Mohammad and grow fond of him. This student planned to embarrass Mohammad in front of Aseel by boasting about his money and strength.
Meanwhile, Mohammad and Osama were unaware of their followers. As they walked, they decided to sit in a park to rest. Aseel, shopping with her brother, had this conversation with him:
Aseel: "Come on, let's go to the clothing store so I can buy a new hat."
Brother: "Alright, but don't take too long. I feel awkward waiting in a women's clothing store."
Aseel: "Ha ha ha, you're so shy! Finally, I understand why you don't have friends—it's because you're too shy."
Brother: "Seems like you've gotten quite good with words. I miss the days when you were a little girl, running behind me, saying 'Wait for me, wait for me.'"
Aseel: "Brother, why are you saying that? It's so embarrassing. I'm not that little girl anymore."
Brother: "Alright, go ahead and buy the hat. We're running late."
Aseel: "Okay, brother."
After a while, Aseel returned with a hat.
Aseel: "What do you think of this hat? Does it suit me?"
Brother: "Yes, it suits you very well. You're beautiful no matter what you wear."
Aseel: "Alright, alright, don't embarrass me, brother. You're handsome too."
Brother: "Let's go to the park and rest. We've been shopping for a while."
Aseel: "Okay, brother."
After Aseel and her brother finished shopping, they headed to the park. As they walked, Aseel saw an ice cream shop.
Aseel: "Brother, please buy me some ice cream."
Brother: "Alright, I'll buy the ice cream. Go find us a place to rest."
Aseel: "Okay, brother."
As Aseel was walking towards the park, Mohammad and Osama were looking for a place to sit. After some searching, they found a perfect spot. There was a large tree with big leaves, and the shade beneath it was cool. It was also slightly elevated and not crowded, as it was a bit away from the main part of the park. They loved the spot and sat down.
The three friends—Abdul Razzaq, Khaled, and Mustafa—and the third-year student were waiting for Aseel to arrive, hoping to embarrass Mohammad and show off in front of her. Aseel, looking for a place to sit, noticed that all the other spots were occupied. When she saw Mohammad and Osama sitting in a nice spot, she decided to greet them. As she walked toward them, she had no idea that the others were waiting for her to reach Mohammad.
Aseel, walking up to Mohammad and Osama, greeted them:
Aseel: "Hello, Osama, Mohammad. How are you both?"
Mohammad and Osama: "We're fine, how are you?"
Aseel: "I'm good, thanks to God. What did you do today?"
Mohammad: "We were just shopping."
Osama: "What about you? You seem very happy."
Aseel: "Yes, I'm happy. I was shopping with my brother."
Mohammad: "Where is your brother?"
Aseel: "He went to buy ice cream."
Osama: "Look, Mohammad, Aseel's brother is better than you. He buys ice cream for her, unlike you, who never buys anything for your sister, even though she's so sweet and pretty."
Mohammad: "Who told you I don't buy ice cream for her?"
Aseel: "Is it true, Mohammad, that you have a little sister?"
Mohammad: "Yes."
Aseel: "What's her name?"
Mohammad: "Her name is Layla, and she's 13 years old."
Aseel: "I hope to meet your sister one day. She must be lovely."
Mohammad: "Next time, I'll bring her with me. But Osama won't be coming because he's too mischievous."
Osama: "How can you say that? I'm a respectful and decent person with great morals!"
Aseel and Mohammad: (both shocked by Osama's words, thinking he's being deceitful and mischievous) 😊
Osama: "Why are you looking at me like that? At least pretend to believe me and don't hurt my feelings."
Mohammad and Aseel: "Okay, okay." (They both laugh.)
As Mohammad and Aseel laughed, they noticed Khaled, Mustafa, Abdul Razzaq, and a large man approaching. Osama was puzzled because he didn't know this new person.
Osama: "Mohammad, Aseel, look, they're coming. I think they're coming for us. What should we do now?"
Mohammad: "Their presence isn't a good sign. I think they came to do something bad."
Aseel: "I know they're planning something dangerous. I'm really scared. What should we do now?"
Mohammad: "Ha ha ha, I remember you said they can't do anything to me."
Osama: "Of course, she's scared because she's a girl."
Aseel: "You two are foolish. I'm not scared for myself, but I'm worried about those guys. If my brother sees them, he'll beat them up badly and won't show them any mercy."
Mohammad: "How can your brother defeat four people? I think you're exaggerating."
Osama: "He's right. How can he defeat four people, especially with that big guy among them? He looks really strong."
Aseel: "You don't believe me, huh? Well, when my brother arrives, you'll see. I just hope he shows them some mercy."
Mohammad and Osama, after hearing Aseel's words, began to guess how strong her brother could be. After hearing all of this, they were more and more eager to meet Aseel's brother.
