Book
Trailer:
Excerpt:
The restaurant Ferdaus was
filled with a buzzing crowd.
The smoke around the people twisted and formed curls,
illuminated under the bar lights. The atmosphere was a hazy cloud, lingering
against their clothes. Several people came in seeking shelter from the pouring
rain outside. The customers of the restaurant turned to look at the entrance
door- bell jingling. They glanced at the large crowd coming as the glass door
was pulled open, and they watched as someone newstepped in behind them.
The woman walked into the bar for the first time in
the winter rain.
She didn’t have an umbrella on her; her little
sleeveless dress ended at her ankles, fully drenched. Her wet dress clung to
her body, showcasing the outlines of her curves. In one hand, she was carrying
the skirt of her dress. Suddenly, she let it go, and her long, bare arms moved
upwards as she tried to fix her damp hair which had darkened in intensity due
to the rain. It fell past her shoulders, the strands sticking to her face. She
attempted to comb through the tangles with her fingertips.
The men watched her movements hungrily, their eager
faces drawn to her and at the sight of someone new. Their eyes trailed from her
face, to her wet body, then back to the movements of her hands entwined in her
hair. Under her arm, she carried a book and a trench coat. It appeared strange
she wasn't wearing the coat when it was pouring outside and freezing in the
middle of November. Men were left mesmerized by her, and she turned heads as
she walked by. Something radiated from within her, drawing the men around her
in.
The
women who were with some of these men noticed their gaze on the unfamiliar
woman. Now they stared at her with jealousy and anger.
Who is she? they wondered.
