It was Samar's voice. And the owner of the voice was sitting on the lounge chair in a faraway corner of the great hall and watching Sarah asking other siblings for their cell phones.
When he called out her name, everyone stared at him as if they have seen an unbelievable miracle happening for the first time in their lives.
Samar felt annoyed when he noticed everyone's shocked expressions directed at him. He ignored everyone else and focused his gaze on Sarah, who was looking at him with her mouth agape.
"Come over here." Samar signaled her with a wave of his hand. A gentle smile appeared on his naturally red thin lips.
Sarah closed her mouth and looked at Samar in pleasant surprise. Her eyes glinted with a shimmer of hope.
She started to walk in his direction before abruptly halting midway. A look of suspicion flashed across her eyes.
