Palmist. Books 1,2,3. Tsvetana Alеkhina
how? Are you happy?
– «Are you kidding me?» Although, the bride is pretty, and will be a great wife.
– So what are you getting lost for? Marry her.
– You see, I am not mentally ready. I do not know, maybe something will change in a year, and I will marry her. Lyosha laughed.
– I have the same thing, I would also get married, but I am not ready.
– We are still just young. We need to grow up! Lyosha continued to laugh.
– Here! Clever words. We need to go to a restaurant and look at oriental beauties.
– What restaurant?
– Opening soon! An Oriental fairy tale! There will be such a beauty performing there. I forgot her name. And, in my opinion, the Sultan. I saw an advertisement, there is such a girl.
– Yes, a woman with that name should be a Sultana, not a dancer. Amir thought about it.
– What are you thinking about?
– You know, Sultana. Such a name is just fascinating.
– So we’re going?
– Yes! Let us go! When is the opening?
– In September. Do you want me to show you a minute-long video of her dancing, though you cannot see her face?
– No. I want to see her live myself. Amir pronounced these words so sternly that Lyosha even froze.
– Have you already fallen in love after hearing the name?
– No. It just will not be interesting.
– Well, as you know. I suggested it.
Arthur posted a short video on the Internet to attract customers. To promote his new restaurants, he posted a video where Sultana dances with her face covered. This is quite a fascinating dance, where she takes off her headscarf at the end. This exclusive room gathers a full hall of guests. Many visitors came only for her sake, the public loved Sultana. Arthur could not have suffered such a collapse and lost Sultana on the opening day of the restaurant. Of course, he could easily find a replacement for her. Change the performance number. But not now. Now he wanted to use her and take revenge on her for what she had done. Arthur’s people came to Poipet with him. Arthur was preparing a trap for her and this only provoked him, he often smoked, almost did not let the cigarette out of his mouth, and smiled slyly.
Sultana left early in the morning and was looking forward to the end of the journey. She did not sleep a wink the whole way. The car drove up to her father’s house late at night, she was afraid to go out, sensing danger. She rarely used mobile communication for fear that her phone was tapped. And after what happened, she stopped using the phone at all, she was afraid for her father’s life, and her fears were not in vain. The persons accompanying her entered with her. Her father was not revived by her arrival and was extremely surprised. Ahmed was quite young and full of energy. He greeted the guests joyfully, unaware of what had happened.
Arthur himself watched their house. Seeing the extra people, he gave the order to wait. – Let these people leave. We do not need extra eyes and ears.
– Chief, you are right. But they can guess something if they hid it.
– You are good, but I will get even with them later. I will settle the score with this girl first. Arthur waited patiently for the guests to leave the house, but they did not come out. – Well, we will wait in the wings and he leaned back in the car seat.
Sultana hugged her father so tightly that Ahmed immediately realized that something had happened. He looked questioningly at the guests, and after greeting them according to Muslim customs, invited them to come in and feel at home.
– What happened? Sultana looked imploringly at her father and could not say anything.
– Your daughter is in great danger. And maybe you are too. You need to contact the police urgently. The woman and her husband told Ahmed everything. – It is better to call the police right now.
– «Yes, but its night, and we haven’t been attacked. We have to wait for the morning and go to the station.
– When you are attacked, it will be too late. It is extremely dangerous for you to even stay here. My husband has heard about the dark deeds of this bandit. Many people are already talking about him. Ahmed could not believe what had happened. Sultana sat with a drooping face and was silent. She was breathing fast and had a terrible headache.
Ahmed fed the guests a modest dinner. Apologizing all the time for my modesty, I was not expecting guests, and I am not satisfied with much myself. After dinner, he offered the guests a modest bed for the night, and escorting them to the room, all the time apologized for his poverty. The guests were well mannered, and as poor as the Sultana family.
– What are you? We live the same way as you. Wealth is not about money. This Arthur, he is much poorer than we are. Ahmed was pleased to hear these words. Smiling through his beard and mustache, he said, «You’re right. With these words, he left the guests alone and went to Sultana’s room.
Sultana sat on the edge of the bed and waited for her father. Her father sat down next to her and took her hand. – Well, how so. How did it happen that I could lose you at any moment? Sultana looked into her father’s eyes with eyes full of tears; she barely restrained herself from crying.
– «Oh, Dad, I don’t know. I miss my childhood so much. I really want to get back into it. When Mom was around, when I felt safe. I am so sorry that I once went dancing.
– And I regret that I allowed all this. I should have locked you up and never let you out. But nothing Allah is great. He will enlighten our minds and send us help and the key to the right decision. Sultana smiled sweetly and, without saying anything in response, continued to look at her father.
– Dad, I am so afraid of losing you.
– Don’t be afraid. I will not leave this world before my time. How many earthly days Allah has given me, so long will I stay here. Do not worry. Sultana squeezed his hand even tighter. Her father stayed with her for another minute, kissed her on the top of her head and left the room. My father gave up his room to the Sultan, and he spent the night in the living room. He prayed hard all night, and fell asleep in the morning.
While Sultana’s father was praying, Arthur kept an eye on their house. – When the morning finally comes. He uttered these words in such a nasty voice that the driver involuntarily shuddered. – When will these compassionate guests finally leave, and in the end, I will shoot them so that they do not climb anywhere. Dawn was coming, and all the residents of the house got up to perform prayer. After that, a delicious breakfast was waiting for them. Breakfast was lively. The guests talked about their city, their family and shared recipes. It was time to say goodbye, and they were going with great reluctance.
– We are not kicking you out.
– We are just scared to leave you. It is so dangerous to live in such fear, when at any moment they can kill.
– It was so nice to meet Swami. God has sent me people who value my daughter’s life so much. Allah bless you. And after saying goodbye to them, he closed the door. After getting into the car and driving a short distance away, the woman called the police.
– Urgent! She was shouting into the phone. Armed attack.
– What are you? Are you crazy? What are you doing?
– You will find out now. Come back. The husband obeyed his wife and returned. Exactly five minutes have passed. Arthur was already getting out of the car, and his men, armed, were approaching the house.
– Wait. She stopped him. Wait for the police to arrive. Perhaps Sultana’s father
