"Welcome home, Master." Ummayma smiled buoyantly as Kabeer stepped into the house. The latter forced a smile to his face, handing her his bag. "How are you, Ummayma?" he said.
"Alhamdulillah (Praise be to Allah), I am fine." she said, bowing as she took the bag from him. "Shall I bring your food to the study now, or would you prefer to rest first?" she asked.
"No. I think I'll eat first before resting. I have to go out anyway." Kabeer said, rummaging in his pocket for something. "Did anyone come to see me while I was away?" he asked.
"Um, yes." she said, hiding her face as a slow redness crept onto her cheek. "Omar came here twice to look for you."
"I see." Kabeer replied, finally pulling out a small key from his pocket. "Open the others from their room." he said.
Ummayma bowe
