DEEN MARSHAL

About this Novel

Sara Mata lifted her head slowly from her laptop as she heard a knock on her office door. The name Abaas was on her mind as she opened the door and welcomed the visitor, Sarah, with a nod. She blinked her eyes and paused her work, placing her water bottle in the fridge to cool. She opened a bottle of Tasha's water, taking a sip, and then asked, "Sarah, is there something you need?" Sarah sat down on the couch, glancing at Najma, who was waiting for her to speak. Saidata Dan also took a deep breath before explaining, "Before you arrived, I visited Chairman Abaas's office, and his condition didn't look good at all. In fact, it seemed quite the opposite." Najma Abdullahi Bela, with tired and worried eyes, looked at Sarah for a moment before speaking softly, trying to conceal her anxiety. She asked, "What's wrong with Abaas now?" Sarah replied, "From what I observed, it seems he hasn't changed his stance from what he said yesterday when Dr. Sa'id visited your place twice." Najma remembered the doctor's visit the previous day, which had led her to leave the office early to attend her child's school meeting. Her heart sank as she picked up her phone and tried to call him.
