Chapter 41

• Her cell phone ringing woke Rakia from her sleep after she had made love with Dashtan a few moments ago. But when she woke up and checked her surroundings, she found him nowhere, not even in this room. Rakia covered her body with a thick blanket. It once again looked around for Dashtan, but all she found was her loneliness. Her cell phone ringing had stopped because she didn't answer the call. She let out a long sigh and closed her eyes for a moment.
• "I regret it now," she said, but a second later, she smiled and shook her head weakly. Her cell phone rang again, and she lazily answered the call.
• "Hi, are you awake? Sorry for not waking you up; I had a meeting that I almost forgot about." Dashtan's voice came from the other end of the line. Rakia smiled while biting her lower lip. Her face flushed with embarrassment, but she quickly pulled herself together.
