INDIA
Suha placed her foot on the ground and closed her eyes, breathing in the air of India. The entire city fascinated her deeply; this was her first time visiting.
“Suhaima Abdulkadir, please come and collect your bag.”
The announcement kept repeating at the airport.
Suha suddenly remembered that she had forgotten her bag. She quickly turned and began running through the crowd, pushing past people to go back and collect it.
---
At the same time, Arjun had just stepped out of the plane. He placed his phone against his ear, speaking with Aaraw.
Aaraw asked:
“Brother, how does the city feel?”
Arjun closed his eyes and replied:
“Ever since I stepped on this land, my heart has been beating fast — the same heartbeat I always feel in my dreams.”
Aaraw replied jokingly:
“May God show you that girl. If she isn’t from paradise, forget her — otherwise she will never let you rest. Honestly, I’m already jealous of her.”
Arjun didn’t respond. He simply clicked his tongue repeatedly.
Aaraw asked:
“Why are you clicking your tongue? Is it because I said I’m jealous of the girl troubling my brother?”
Arjun replied:
“They’re announcing someone’s name at the airport. A girl called Suhaima Abdulkadir forgot her bag. They keep calling her.”
He added with slight annoyance:
“Honestly, how careless can someone be? Imagine traveling from another country and forgetting your bag.”
Aaraw laughed softly and changed the topic.
---
Meanwhile Suha was running, her hair flowing behind her.
At that same moment Arjun was still talking on the phone when suddenly Suha accidentally bumped into him. His phone fell to the ground.
Arjun raised his head to see who had collided with him.
Suha had already moved ahead but quickly turned back, joined her hands politely and said:
“Please forgive me.” 🙏
Arjun froze.
The girl he had always seen in his dreams was standing right in front of him.
But before he could react, she had already disappeared into the crowd.

Later
Arjun searched everywhere for her but could not find her again.
He became very restless and suddenly felt a sharp headache. Eventually he went to the place where his driver was waiting and they drove him to his father’s house in Mumbai.
His uncle had wanted him to stay with them because they were used to Sima, but Arjun refused.
He went straight to his usual room, took a long shower, performed ablution, and then went to the mosque.
After returning, he stood by the window lost in deep thought.
At that moment he became convinced:
“The girl must be a spirit (jinn).”
He remembered Aaraw’s words and thought:
“Even if she is a jinn, I will still stay with her.”
---
His phone suddenly rang — it was Aaraw again.
When Arjun answered, Aaraw sighed in relief and asked:
“Where did you go? Our call suddenly disconnected and you weren’t answering.”
Arjun replied quietly:
“I saw her.”
Aaraw asked quickly:
“You mean the girl from your dreams?”
Arjun answered:
“Yes. But she’s not human… she must be a spirit.”
His voice trembled.
“My heart hurts thinking I may never see her again.”
Aaraw tried to calm him and advised him:
“Just keep praying. Prayer solves everything.”
Arjun agreed.

Suha’s Side
After collecting her bag, Suha went to the house her mother told her to stay in.
She dropped her luggage in the living room and fell asleep.
At 10 pm she woke up very hungry.
Since no one lived in the house, she had to buy food herself.
After taking a shower and wearing a long dress, she went out to find something to eat.
---
At the same time Arjun also left his house to drink coffee.
Suha ordered food at a restaurant and ate slowly, clearly enjoying it.
After finishing she paid and started walking home because it wasn’t far.
Suddenly a car’s headlights shone directly into her eyes.
She became angry and shouted:
“Whoever you are, don’t let me see your face! You must be blind to shine lights directly into someone’s eyes!”
Inside the car was Arjun.
He was staring at her silently, completely mesmerized.
Suha walked to the driver’s window and knocked.
When the window rolled down, she pointed at him angrily and said:
“Are you blind? Or stupid? Why are you shining your lights in my face?”
She continued angrily:
“You Indians are arrogant just because you think you are handsome!”
She scoffed and walked away.
Arjun remained frozen like a statue.

Sima
At another place, Sima was dressing in a beautiful red gown.
She asked her mother:
“Ammi, do I look beautiful?”
Her mother replied:
“You look wonderful. Don’t change that dress.”
Sima smiled happily.
“I want to look beautiful for my sweet Arjun.”
---
Who is Sima?
Sima is the only child of Dr. Sulaim and Azara.
Dr. Sulaim is the brother of Hajia Sarah, Arjun’s mother.
Sima’s parents lost all their other children, so Sima is the only one they have left. Because of this, they spoil her and give her everything she wants.
---
Later Arjun visited their house.
Sima ran excitedly to hug him but he moved slightly away.
She smiled and said:
“You still don’t understand how much I love you, do you?”
Arjun said nothing.
---
Meanwhile
Suha was walking again when she passed by a place where children were playing.
Arjun happened to be there with Sima.
When Arjun opened his eyes, he saw Suha again.
Children surrounded Suha and threw flowers at her playfully. She laughed happily while interacting with them.
Arjun became completely mesmerized by her smile.
Just then Sima returned and leaned against his chest, saying:
“Sweet Arjun, let’s go.”
But Arjun was still staring at Suha.
Eventually he left with Sima without speaking to Suha.

Back to Guma Village
Meanwhile in Guma village, Khalil’s competition with Bushar continued.
When Bushar received the lashes from Khalil, he eventually began crying from the pain and ran away from the arena.
The crowd burst into laughter.
Khalil was lifted up in celebration.
The village chief announced:
“Since Khalil has won the competition, he will marry Bintu today.”
Everyone cheered and prayed for their happiness.
