The party was arranged by the Sheraazi family, in their mansion. A great deal of guest was invited, the security being really strict with guards circling the perimeters. Zarmeenay was a little startled seeing all of it. She fidgeted and asked her grandfather, “Pa, why is there so much security?”

“Security is important for them. Don’t you worry, Aamir Sheraazi is a good friend. He has been handling our business since we left.” Her grandfather spoke as they left the car.

There were a lot of people at the party and it made Zarmeenay uncomfortable. She told her grandparents she needed to use the restroom, when really she wanted to get away from all the prying eyes. She asked a passing waiter for directions and followed what he told her. The mansion was very beautiful, and very big indeed. So big, she couldn’t help but get lost. When she saw no way of finding her way, she decided to ask for help. She suddenly saw a guy in the corridor, talking on the phone.
