When Aliya and (perhaps) her mother went into the jewelry and gold store in the mall, I decided to walk back to my car and head to our Head Office. I wasn't really that worried, after all she would be coming for screening around 10am or wouldn't she? I mulled over.

As soon as I was in my office, I called out for Sufyan through the intercom. "Send me my schedule for today right this instant!" I said.

"Right away, sir" He uttered.

Thus, I released the button... and relaxed in my swivel chair – staring at the POP ceiling while thinking about Aliya. God knows how much I love...
