(3 months has passed Rosemary was living with Zunisha, there life had changed a lot in these months Rosemary is now Ruquaya, she converted to Islam recently they were both contented with joy after Rosemary converted to Islam )
Zunisha: Ruquaya wake up and come down quickly the breakfast is ready (she screamed and called her)
Ruquaya: ugh, Zuni 5 more minutes please I stayed up late yesterday reading the novel you gave me
Zunisha: who told you to stay up late? Come down quickly and eat your breakfast, I need to go to the Market so you need to see the house in my absence, now come down quick!
Ruquaya: (she got up and was coming down through stairs while rubbing her eyes) can I come with you? I will be bored all alone
Zunisha: sure if you want to, but you need to hurry for that.
Ruquaya : ok, i will get ready quickly then
(she ate her breakfast and got ready )
Zunisha: that was quick, now let's get going
Ruquaya: sure!
(Zunisha locked the house properly and they went to the market, after few minutes they reached the market)
Ruquaya: what are we going to buy?
Zunisha: hmm let's see,( she read out the list she was holding in her hand ) I need some meat, vegetables and some spices
Ruquaya: those are quite a lot of thing to buy, you know what to make things easier you buy half things and I will buy the other half
Zunisha: it is ok with me, and then we will meet here at the entrance after we buy everything
Ruquaya: ok then I will buy the vegetables and spices you go buy the meat
Zunisha: ok anyway I wanted to buy some herbs seeds in that way too
( they parted there ways, after sometime Zunisha returned to spot they decided to meet but Ruquaya wasn't there so, Zunisha waited there as she waited her anxiety grew with the time in the end she started searching for her )
Zunisha: Ruquaya where are you? Ruquaya answer me (she screamed while running around the market)
(When she was running she heard a low voice of someone crying for help from the alley)
Zunisha:( a deep sense of fear came over her ) who is that?
(as she kept running towards the voice she thought it was familiar voice , a hint of realisation sparked )
Zunisha: Ruquaya is that you?
(As she kept running she saw someone laying on the ground and a lot of blood flowing through their shoulder, she went closer)
Ruquaya: help me someone, ( in a trembling voice with a lot of pain reflecting in her voice) please o Allah please help me
(Zunisha quickly went closer to her)
Zunisha : Ruquaya, who did this to you? Ruquaya answer me
Ruquaya: Zunisha, they found me! They are going to come for me again! (She said crying )
Zunisha: what how? Let me take you home first
(she took Ruquaya home )
Ruquaya: I need to talk to you
Zunisha: let me treat you first
(She took her to the bedroom and started treating her)
Zunisha: how did you get this wound?
Ruquaya: an arrow hit and it had a crest on it
Zunisha: which crest?
Ruquaya: the assassin guild crest
Zunisha: the assassin guild, you mean someone hired an assassin to kill you?
Ruquaya : it seems like that
(while Zunisha was treating her she saw something)
Ruquaya : what happened? You look surprise suddenly
Zunisha: oh its nothing, you said you wanted to talk to me?
Ruquaya: do you remember ? when i first came I said I have to convince someone very important to me
Zunisha: yes I do...
Ruquaya : Zuni i have a request for you (she held Zunisha's hand tightly )
Zunisha: what request ?
Ruquaya: listen to me first, i want you to take my place at the dukedom
Zunisha: what do you mean?
Ruquaya: I know it's hard but i believe you can do it
Zunisha: but why?
Ruquaya : we both know that I won't last long, but i am happy that i met you and I am grateful to Allah for that, I won't force you but you can think this as my last wish, the real will is in the drawer
Zunisha: but....
Ruquaya : Zuni just remember that you are not alone and Allah is with you and Inshallah one day you will find your people (she fainted while saying that)
Zunisha: looks like the medicine is working , i think you need to rest now (she went to pray salah and when she was doing dua)
Zunisha: O Allah! Please help me! I don't want to lose my family again, what do i do i don't have the antidote for the poison which got spread in Ruquya's body! (The arrow by which she was shot was poisoned) help me O Allah! The Most merciful! And it's too late to take her to a doctor! (She cried)
(Zunisha was sitting next to Ruquaya)
Zunisha: Ruquaya wake up! You need to take the medicine
(Ruquaya opened her eyes slightly, her face is pale and she can hardly move, as she saw Zunisha sitting by her side looking worried)
Ruquaya : don't be so worried my dear sister, ( she smiled at her)
(Zunisha's eyes filled with tears)
Zunisha: I am not worried (she brushed her hair and she noticed something, Ruquya's body was getting colder and colder)
Ruquaya: I know you are very strong and brave my sister , please think about my request you are my only hope , I think this is my last time seeing you like this
Zunisha : what do you mean last time, please don't leave me! Please! O Allah help me
Ruquaya : la ilaha illallah muhammadur rasoolullah (she closed her eyes)
