03-"The Spark"

After hearing from Rayhn, Heba felt uncomfortable and guilty.

Mr Rayhn Qalfi I'm so sorry, I knew nothing about you so I had my prejudices, nevertheless I'm not the kind of a person who judges anyone based on their rumours, I would be very happy if I get assistance from you and I think you are more than qualified to help me, said Heba,
          Heba, leaving everything aside what do you think of philosophy? asked Rayhn.
         philosophy is something that comes from your subconscious, it is proportional to in what ways your eye sees the world as, said Heba.
         Okay, but that is your understanding, do you know what's the general meaning of philosophy? said Rayhn to Heba.
     "A theory or attitude that acts as a guiding principle for behaviour" That's what Google says, but for me in general philosophy comes from within yourself, it's in between reality and nature, said Heba.
           Rayhn wanted to continue their conversation but he stopped as Hebas's phone rang. She picked up the call it was from Lia, she asked Heba to come immediately to her office. Heba excused herself and apologized to Rahyn, she gave her number to him and asked him to schedule a new meeting to further discuss their conversation.
     
         Heba said Mr Rahyn it was a pleasure meeting you, I'm looking forward to our second meeting.

    As Heba was walking out of his house,  Rahyn said to himself she's good, his facial expressions highlighted that he liked her as an editor.
    Lia was waiting at her desk, Heba rushed towards her and said, what's wrong?
      Lia had concern on her face with a low and subtle voice, Lia said,
Heba theirs an article about you,
it's about what happened 3 years ago,
       I don't know what's the source of this news but don't you worry I'm working on it.
     Lia moved closer to Heba and said
           Listen, I know what happened back then it was not your mistake, Lia raised her voice confidently and said You are not wrong.

          Heba was shocked by this news but after listening to Lia Heba got confidence and Lia's words consoled her.

Lia asked Heba to go home and rest so that she could be away from all the rumours.
     Heba lived in an independent house which is located in a hilly area, she lived with her parents, an elder sister and a brother, As Heba reached her home her family was concerned about her, they acted normal but they knew about the news. Heba greeted her family went towards her room, took a shower and was lying on her bed.
        Heba was tensed but she was tired so she fell asleep, the very night Heba had a dream where she was walking on a bridge and saw a man's silhouette which was similar to Rahyn, she saw that she was walking towards him and then all of a sudden he disappeared. Heba wakes up from her dream and sees that it's 8 in the morning she takes a shower and has breakfast with her family in the lounge.
      Heba's mother Reem asked her if she was okay. Heba looked at her family members and told them about her dream, listening to it her mother panicked and she asked Heba if she recalled anything else.
    Heba said, three years ago I went on a business trip to London with Lia and Sazm ( sazm is Heba's brother) I met with two families for an interview, as my main moto was to understand and analyse if there were any similarities between them, I interviewed one family they only had the problem of children but I was not able to interview the second family as there was a death of their uncle. I know that I instigated them to be careful of their uncle as he was the one who was causing trouble among them but I was not involved with any member of their family moreover police declared the death of their uncle as suicide but the family insisted that it was a natural death and media people want nothing but attention and fame so, they blame me for their families misery and I know I was the one who wrote the article but my article was distorted and written differently, what I wrote was completely different from what was published.
           The public backlashed me and I had to resign from my previous office and publicly issue an apology letter because of all this I underwent trauma and that caused me to forget some parts of that time but luckily I met with Lia who came into my life as a guardian and helped me with all her might and gave me an opportunity in life as well as in work. I just want to once meet with the person who wanted to ruin my life, I only know that he was my colleague and he was just jealous and angry that I was getting more attention and recognition from the Public. So he spread the rumours that I had caused the death of that man and I was indirectly involved in his death. I'm sure that he's involved in this matter too.
              Sazm asked Heba if she was done with her breakfast so that he could drop her off at the office and go to his workplace.
         Heba said yeah yeah I'm done let's go, they both greeted their parents and went out of their house.
    Heba came to her office and greeted everyone but the people held doubtful thoughts in their eyes as she looked at them.
Heba wanted to distract herself from the rumours and the best way to do this was to write an article, as she was ready to start her day, she received an email from Rahyn, the email said that he wanted to meet with her and continue their conversation which was left halfway down.
