Chapter 61: In the Name of Allah ❤️
Title ❤️🔥 Between Glass and Tears ❤️🔥
A child runs through the glass corridor, his bare feet making a soft sound like gentle rain. His blue hair flutters behind him like a ribbon of clear water, and his eyes sparkle with excitement. He laughs, calling out:
"Nothing will ever separate us!"
> He stretches his hands forward as if chasing a bird, then spins around,
> before disappearing behind a turn in the palace.
---
Setting: An imaginary dimension, resembling a vast mirror of watery glass. The sky is clear, a light blue, shimmering with a gentle golden light. The ground reflects the clouds, as if everyone is walking on the surface of the water. No wind, no sounds, except for the faint, clear footsteps.
The camera slowly moves over the watery glass surface, showing reflections of the sky. Then, Fruk appears floating in the air.
Fruk
(Floating in the air, hands behind his head, smiling with a false innocence, eyes narrowed as if enjoying his game)
"Do you like this place? This is what Sajjad loves, right?" He laughs innocently.
Derek stands in front of Riman, his bow taut, eyes fixed on Fruk.
Derek
(In a low, tense voice)
"What do you mean by this?..."
"Why did you bring us to such a place..." His voice rises in anger.
**Shahin** suddenly appears next to Fruk, standing calmly, looking at Dalia, hands folded quietly.
**Shahin**
"Simply put... Fruk can't stand your weak fighting..."
(He looks down, then raises his eyes calmly)
"That's why he sent you to this dimension..." He smiles.
Fruk laughs a childlike laugh, but his eyes remain cold, not laughing with him.
**Fruk**
(In a loud, childish voice)
"This is exactly what I wanted!..."
(He extends his hand toward the glass horizon)
"Do you see this dimension? If you don't win... you won't live..." He is extremely happy.
"Hurry up, children, because..." Then he speaks with seriousness and calmness
(He smiles with cunning and malice)
"You'll become a meal for the dimension itself..." Then he laughs.
Derek becomes angry at his words and launches a large arrow toward Fruk. The arrow cuts through the air at incredible speed and force, but Fruk tilts his head slightly—the arrow passes by him and destroys part of the dimension.
**Fruk** with a calm smile
"Weak, Derek..."
In an instant, he moves his finger slightly toward his stomach. Derek flies backward, hitting the glass ground, which cracks around him.
**Fruk**
(Calmly, but with a very cold and fierce tone)
"I don't like it when you challenge your limits... Stay calm and be yourself as usual..."
Sajjad stands in the back, his eyes moving quickly, analyzing every movement, every angle, every change in the air.
**Sajjad**
(Calmly, in a low voice)
"Fine... since you want to destroy us..."
(He looks directly at Fruk)
"But... why did you bring them with us?" With ferocity.
Fruk turns to him, smiles, but his eyes narrow.
**Fruk**
"Sajjad..."
(He takes a step forward)
"Do you remember that I don't care about anyone else's life?" Very happy
(He looks at Riman, then at Dalia)
"Let it be known... if you lose, and one of you dies here... or even outside..." He flies as if playing and tumbling
(He smiles)
"I don't care about annoying humans at all..." With killer eyes.
Sajjad doesn't move. Only his eyes narrow. He understands the threat.
**Sajjad**
(Calmly, but with a sharp tone)
"You want to kill everyone, don't you?"
Fruk doesn't answer. He only laughs lightly, then turns to Riman.
**Fruk**
(In a low voice, as if revealing a secret)
"I was going to kill her..."
(He points to Riman)
"But I wanted to let you play with this doll for longer..."
He smiles with malice.
Riman, inside herself, is afraid
"If he wants to kill me in the future..." She trembles.
Sajjad clenches his hands, but doesn't move. He swallows his anger.
"I need to focus on the dimension's issue for now... and even if I fight him, his chances of crushing us are high because it's his own domain..." He can't imagine fainting and being brought back to the north as he was when young (with sarcasm)
"... Besides, if he fights with his full strength, the likelihood of the place exploding will increase even more than before..." Calm and troubled inside.
**Fruk** (Smiling and pointing with his hand)
"Let's go, Shahin, I want to sleep..."
**Shahin** (Nervous, approaching Dalia)
(He smiles)
"Wait, since I found her, I won't miss this opportunity..."
Shahin takes a step forward, looking at Dalia. He smiles a calm, comfortable smile, but it carries something deep.
**Shahin**
"Dalia... I've missed you..." (In a soft voice)
Dalia stands still, doesn't move, her eyes cold.
**Dalia** becomes shocked, then indifferent
"Shahin... What do you want again?"
**Shahin** (Flying in the air)
(He smiles)
"I don't want anything... just to marry you, my dear... I'll get you out of here, agree..." He throws a red rose toward Dalia. The rose flies through the air, reflects on the glass, then falls beside Dalia. Dalia doesn't pick it up. She only looks at it with disdain and burning anger.
Dalia twists her mouth, looks away.
**Dalia** (Very annoyed and suppressing her anger)
"Shahin... I wish you would leave..." 💢
Inside herself
"I'd rather die than marry you... you womanizer..." Angry and burning with rage.
Riman looks around, silent, shocked, smiling as if she doesn't understand, or as if she refuses to understand.
**Shahin**
(Without losing his smile)
"Don't be angry, my dear..."
He begins to disappear, yelling "No... I want to talk to her more..." He turns. Fruk turns his head as if he didn't hear Shahin
(And he disappears gradually with sadness)
Fruk and Shahin vanish into the air, as if they were never there.
And Fruk's last words
"Sajjad, I'll watch you on TV, so be at your best..." His sweet smile appears, and he smiles like a child.
Sajjad freezes, cursing him inside
"Just leave me alone... this isn't a talent show, you fool..." He puts his hands on his face, extremely angry.
---
Then they appear in the courtyard of the palace.
**Shahin** with a calm smile
"Dalia... You've become stronger..."
(He smiles)
"I'm very happy..."
(His voice fades)
"You look more beautiful... when you're angry..." Smiling happily, Fruk
doesn't care about his words.
Fruk and Shahin observe from above the palace in a corner, Fruk lying in the garden, looking down as if watching a series on a power circle.
**Fruk** (To himself)
(Calmly, eyes wide open)
"Let's watch them..."
(He looks around, then sighs)
"Where did Shahin go? Never mind... seems he went to work..."
(He smiles)
"Let's watch them from a distance..." and he eats popcorn.

🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹
💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔
💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔
The child who was running in the corridors of the palace opens the door to Sajjad's room lightly.
**Setting:** Sajjad's room in the glass palace. Black walls, reflective floor, an old book open on the table, a small picture face down. Dim, cold blue light.
> It turns out to be Athir, a boy of 11 years old, running in the hallway, smiling, carrying a notebook.
**Athir**
(In a gentle, excited voice)
"Sajjad!..."
(He places the notebook on the table)
"I finished the history lesson!...."
(He smiles)
"Come on... let's play together like we used to, brother...brother (worried because he doesn't respond)..."
> Sajjad sits in the corner, back straight, looking at the window. He doesn't move. He doesn't smile. He doesn't even look at him.
**Sajjad** (In a low, trembling voice, but clear)
"Athir... " and sorrow consumes him
(He looks at the sky)
"I want to leave to my father..."
Athir is shocked and looks at him, unable to speak
(He stops, then continues with difficulty, a lump in his throat)
"He told me before that if we grieve, we should wait under the pine tree...the one we always played and walked around together..."
(He smiles a cold, hopeless smile)
"But he left and went away forever...so I want to go where he is...I don't want to stay here (completely broken and looking at the ground)..."
🫧
> Athir freezes. His smile disappears, he is worried. He looks at him.
**Athir**
(In a trembling voice)
"Why are you talking about death?... and especially about our father now..."
(He takes a step closer)
"Brother... has something happened to you..." Worried and trembling
(He looks at him)
"And these things... why is your room in such disarray..."
**Sajjad**
(Not looking at him, but his voice is unusually calm)
"I don't know, maybe I got angry a little..."
He whispers very softly
(Looking at his hands)
"But if Father were alive... would he have been as cruel as Nareen..."
(He stops)
"Would she have been so harsh?..."
In a louder voice
"Would she have abandoned me like everyone else, Athir..." With eyes that have collapsed and a face that has been struck
> Athir opens his eyes wide. He understands that his mother refused to treat him.
**Athir**
(In a soft voice)
"Wait..."
(He approaches)
"Did you get hurt again?"
(He looks at his arm)
"I'll treat your wounds... don't worry...I'll help you..."
(He smiles)
"Because I..." He is shocked by his severe injuries
**Sajjad**
(Looks at him for the first time)
"Athir...."
With sarcasm and despair
"No... don't lie to me... Everyone has lied to us...I don't want to live in a family illusion anymore..."
(His voice shakes a little and he smiles painfully)
"But...will you abandon me... like her?"...
> Athir freezes. A tear appears in his eye, and he almost cries when he sees his wounds and his broken smile, but he doesn't cry.
**Athir**
(In a sincere voice)
"Sajjad... what are you saying?..."
(He puts his hand on his chest)
"You are my little brother..."
(He looks at him)
"I will never hurt you...I don't care who our enemy is, we are family always and will stay together..." He smiles with a broken smile
**Sajjad** (Turns his head again, in a tired voice)
"Leave me alone..."
Athir to himself
(Annoyed and worried about him)
"The best thing is to let him rest until he calms down... The cause of his depression is definitely Mother..."
In a loud voice
"Sajjad, I am always with you and will stay by your side no matter what... This is a promise..." Seriously and with intense eyes and leaves
**Sajjad** whispers
"I also promise I won't abandon you, ever..." With great seriousness
> He turns quietly and leaves.
> Athir walks in the hallway, heading to Nareen's room. Before he reaches it, he sees (sharp eyes, playing with a dagger in his hand, blue hair, and snake-like eyes).
He passes by him
> The man smiles maliciously, but his eyes are cold.
Athir is startled by seeing him and is terrified just by his breath.
> He quickly knocks on the door to enter and tries to calm down.
> Inside, Nareen, in a cold, irritated voice, smoking painkillers and sedatives.
**Nareen**
"Come in quickly..."
> Athir enters. Nareen is sitting, smoking, not looking at him.
**Nareen**
(In a cold voice)
"Next time..."
(She exhales smoke)
"I want you and your brother to follow my orders...exactly as I said..."
(She looks at him firmly, making him nervous and scared)
"Or else... I'll put you both in the torture room...."
**Athir**
(Bows slightly)
"Leader Nareen..."
(Calmly, with something in his eyes)
"I will be competent...and obey your orders..."
**Nareen**
(Coldly, ignoring him)
"That's not a duty..."
(She looks at him sharply)
"It's an order that must be executed..."
**Athir**
(Worried, then stops and looks at the ground)
"I know, but I have something on my mind that I want to say..."
(He looks at her steadily)
"I'll speak today in another capacity..."
> Then Nareen raises her eyes. She looks at him with arrogance and condescension, raising an eyebrow as if mocking him.
**Athir**
(Calmly, but sincerely)
"Leader Nareen..."
(He looks at her, disturbed)
"Even though you were like a mother to me once...but..."
(He pauses, calm)
"I won't hold you accountable for distancing yourself from me...because I'm not your real son after all..."
(He looks at her, gritting his teeth)
"But..." (His voice shakes)
"How can you harm someone of your own flesh and blood?...Isn't Sajjad your son..." Angry, then shakes, speaking with bravery and defiance
> Nareen extinguishes the cigarette. She looks at him.
**Nareen**
(Completely calm, but with fear and power in her voice)
"I think I'll break your skull tonight...Leave..."
**Athir**
(Doesn't move)
"Mother..."
(He looks at her, his legs unable to carry him from trembling)
"I rejected your marriage many times...and tried to ruin it..."
(He pauses, sad)
"Only because I feared you would distance yourself from us..."
Nareen screams
"Get out..." Loudly
(He looks at her)
"While Sajjad..."
(His voice shakes with sadness and anger, in a loud voice)
"Was confident in you..."
"He supported your decision... to live happily... knowing he would remain miserable without you..." Annoyed
(He looks at the ground) (His voice rises)
Nareen almost trembles and falls silent
(He steps towards her)
"Mother...please...there's still time to return to our old home as we were with Father..." Sad, tears welling in his eyes
"All of us want to return, Mother..." (He raises his hand to touch hers) He tries to smile innocently and holds back his tears
She looks at him, almost touching his hand, hesitating, then grabs it with a terrifying voice
**Nareen**
(In a cold, extremely angry voice, screaming)
"Get out now!..."
> X enters, puts his hand on Athir's shoulder with a smile, but tense from her anger
**X**
(Calmly)
"Let's go... your mother is tired..."
**Athir**
(Shrugs off X's hand)
"Just... listen to me once....".
To himself
"Since she had a reaction to the idea of returning...perhaps she will be shaken if she learns that Sajjad is injured..." He is happy and thinks quickly to speak
(He looks at her)
"Mother...Sajjad needs you, he is severely injured..." Tired and exhausted, he yells for her to hear, and hope shines in his eyes
(To himself)
"Mother, just listen to me... We can leave... We don't want anything from this place or this world except you...We just want you to stay with us..." Calmly, waiting for her response
**Nareen**
(Coldly and uninterested)
"I hit him... so don't tire yourself... I don't care about you two anymore... Stay out of my way..." With cold, hard eyes
**Athir**
(He is silent, then his lips tremble)
"Those severe injuries are because of you (extremely shocked)...Are you really our mother (with a choked scream)...Are you really..." Bites his lip in anger and clenches his fists
Whispers with anger and breathes heavily
"If Father were still alive... would we have separated..."
He clutches his heart violently. He is in pain. Then he staggers. And he faints.
A voice whispers
"No, we wouldn't have separated...If he were here..."
And a tear falls to the ground
> Athir slowly opens his eyes. He breathes heavily. He feels pain in his chest. He raises his head.
In the palace, specifically in his room, the dim blue light reflects on the walls. Cold air, heavy silence. He is lying on his bed.
> X stands in front of him, silent, arms crossed, eyes watching him.
**Athir** (In a weak, tired voice, surprised to see him)
"X... What are you doing here...Don't tell me I fainted..."
**X**
(Very calm, but clearly worried)
"You fainted from a rage attack and collapsed..."
> Athir tries to stand, walking with heavy steps. His hand on his chest. His face pale, then he loses balance.
> X catches him quickly, supports him, and gently sits him back on the edge of the bed.
[Then broken silence, only interrupted by labored breathing. Athir leans weakly on X's shoulder, as if he lacks the strength to stand alone. His head is lowered, his hands tremble slightly on the edge of the bed. X sits next to him, eyes wide, holding a silent, deep concern.]
**X**
(In a tired, broken voice, as if the words are being pulled from his depths)
"Are you okay... now?"
[Athir doesn't respond immediately. He looks at X, then lowers his eyes. His eyes glisten with deep sadness, but he swallows a tear before it falls. He swallows his voice and responds slowly.]
**Athir**
(Calmly, but carrying weight)
"I'm... fine. But...?"
[Athir smiles a pale, almost self-mocking smile. He raises his hand and massages his forehead, then runs his fingers forcefully through his hair, as if trying to clear something from his head.]
**Athir**
(In a soft voice, almost a whisper)
"I had a terrible nightmare..."
[He closes his eyes tightly. His eyelashes tremble. His voice breaks more.]
"I dreamed of Mom when she hit Sajjad...and found him severely injured..." (He suddenly grabs his head, as if the pain is hitting him from the inside)
"Sometimes... I wish I could tell Sajjad the truth..."
[He looks at X, and his eyes are clearly filled with deep, intense sadness.]
"Everything we've lived through... a lie... a lie on top of a lie..."
"And I have to lie to him again and again..." (Loudly)
(He takes a deep, tense breath)
"But... when I imagine his face... when I imagine him breaking down... suffering as I suffer... or worse..."
[He suddenly grabs his hair with a strong hand, as if he wants to tear himself apart. His shoulders shake. He tightly closes his mouth, his lower lip trembling. His voice becomes muffled, as if he is forcing himself to be silent.]
... So I keep quiet.
[He closes his eyes, slowly pulls his hands away from his head, as if surrendering. He places his palms on his knees, his nails digging into his palms. His voice returns, but it is broken, exhausted.]
"I can't... make him go through what I experience... I can't..."
[X looks at him, silent. But in his eyes is a sea of pain. He swallows a tear and gently grasps Athir's arm, as if trying to anchor him in reality.]
**X** (Internally)
(In a whispered voice, unheard but filling the scene)
"If I had known... this would happen... I wouldn't have allowed him to come..."
(His internal voice is sad)
"A seizure lasting more than six hours... I was worried about his heart, but it's good that it wasn't affected (he sighs)..."
**Athir**
(Grasping his arm, as if punishing himself)
"I was the one who let him come back... I was the one who made him suffer more..."
[Athir slowly opens his eyes, and his gaze becomes distant, as if he is no longer seeing the room. His pulse slows, his voice becomes dreamy, as if he is speaking to a shadow.]
**Athir**
(Calmly, as if remembering something from long ago)
"I want... to go back home..."
(He smiles a small, sad, nostalgic smile)
"I want to see Mom... playing the violin as she used to..."
[The scene changes. The vision becomes a living memory.]
[Inner Vision – Sunny garden, large tree, leaves swaying. A woman with white hair like snow and yellow eyes holds a violin, playing a sad, beautiful melody. Young Athir runs, laughing, dragging Sajjad under the tree. Father sits nearby, smiling, reading a book. Golden light, pure laughter.]
[The vision abruptly returns to the present. Athir is still sitting, but his features become blurry, as if the memory has torn his face. His eyes now shed silently. He places his hand on his chest, as if his heart is breaking.]
**Athir**
(In a soft voice, as if addressing the air)
"... I miss her..."
"I miss my family..."
X**
(Deeply sad and broken)
"It's good that he is sleeping again...It's better that he rests these days..."
[X looks at him, unable to speak. He slowly extends his hand and gently places it on Athir's head, pressing lightly. In his eyes, a tear that does not fall, but carries all the pain in the world.]
Shahin approaches them and claps, then wipes a tear from his eye mockingly
"I was really moved by your words..."
#####№######№######№. ‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️
The five stand in silence. The sky gradually darkens.
**Riman**
(Calmly, in a soft voice)
"What is this... for God's sake?"
**Dalia** looks at where they disappeared, then whispers.
**Dalia**
(In a low, sharp voice)
"He is one of the leaders of the East..."
(She looks at where he disappeared, disgusted and angry)
"I fought in his front lines... always in my youth..."
(She pauses and sighs)
"He... is obsessed with me... because of my power..."
(She shakes her head sarcastically)
"Mentally unstable..."
She looks as if she understands and directs her gaze to her lap, concerned about Fox.
###№######№
The sound of a heart beating... slowly.
The camera shows the glass surface, the red rose lying on the ground, reflecting in countless images under their feet. Suddenly, the surface shakes.
The clear sky changes. It becomes reflective, distorted. The horizon cracks, as if the world is rearranging itself.
**Dalia**
"The place is shaking..." Extremely worried
The glass beneath their feet starts to slide, walls rise from nowhere—huge, transparent, glass walls stretching to infinity.
The place has become a maze. No exit. No signs. Only reflections of themselves on all sides.
Khalid suddenly appears behind Derek, hiding, as if he emerged from the wall itself. His face is shocked, eyes wide, breathing rapidly.
Before Khalid can speak, a quick movement.
From between the walls, a creature moves. Three meters tall. Its form is human, but it is made of watery glass, resembling transparent ice. Its eyes are empty, radiating a cold, blue light. It walks silently, not touching the ground.
It advances toward Khalid.
Sajjad doesn't look at it. He only raises his left hand, opens his palm, then quickly closes it.
In an instant—a sharp "humming" sound.
The creature stops. Then it cracks from the inside. Blue sparks emerge from its eyes. Before it can scream, it shatters into thousands of shards, falling on the glass, breaking, and then vanishing.
Sajjad lowers his hand. He doesn't look at the body. He doesn't smile. He doesn't show any emotion.
**Riman**
(Astonished and looks at everyone, who are not surprised)
"When did he attack? His speed is unbelievable, I couldn't see it at all..."
"It seems he is upset, so he quickly destroyed it..."
"But this is not good news. He might change his mind at any moment. If I am not useful to him..." Worried and very anxious, she bites her nails
"I need to figure out how to protect myself and reach Sajjad without this fool... (Thinking)
• Win him over ❌ (Imagines herself stabbed with his sword)
• Seduce him ❌ Also no, he is like a beast (Imagines him as a beast and herself dead in his mouth)
• Kill him ❌ I would be dead too (Imagines herself dead again)
"Means my only option is to get close to Derek to protect myself. Those who fight for love will be more emotional... (Looks at Derek and he smiles at her) Honestly, I'm starting to like him, but since I am married to that bastard, I can't cheat on him even if it's a sham marriage (Annoyed)..."
"I'm also thinking of an agreement with Fruk (Smiles maliciously)...He wants to take Sajjad. I'll try to find a solution to bring him back and get privileges from the North. This is brilliant and will benefit me in the long run... (Happy)...We'll see if you can beat me or not..." Looks at Sajjad with a challenge.
Sajjad observes the creature to identify its type from a distance, noticing Riman lost in thought, holding Fox, and looking at him with a challenge.
(With boredom and sarcasm)
"What are you thinking about...You worry me when I see you thinking, that crazy woman...Don't assume you can make Fruk an ally because you overheard earlier (Calmly)...You are just a child and don't understand the consequences of your foolish thoughts (Coldly)..."
He smiles with malice and sarcasm
"Let's see where you end up...in the future..."
Riman feels a shiver and anxiety from his gaze.
Suddenly...
Derek falls to his knees, clutching his stomach. A light trickle of blood comes from the corner of his mouth.
Riman runs to him, kneels beside him, placing her hands on his shoulders.
**Riman**
(Worried and trembling)
"Are you okay?...Are you in pain anywhere..."
**Derek**
(Looking at the ground, not at her)
"Don't worry...This is just the aftermath of Fruk's injury..."
But his eyes move toward Sajjad, with a look of disgust.
**Sajjad**
(Calmly, looking at the walls, analyzing)
"We need to postpone our fight... but that doesn't mean I'll forget about finishing you..." Coldly and with killer eyes
Sajjad to himself
(With a cold, troubled smile)
"Unfortunately..."
(Looking at Derek)
"I wanted to eliminate you...Every time I want to get rid of a despicable person, excuses come like rain (Gripping his hair, angry and troubled)..."
**Dalia** (Seeing his frustration, she mocks)
"The winds bring what the ships do not wish..." She suppresses a laugh, and he looks at her with disdain.
**Derek**
(Spits out a light trickle of blood)
"I know what you're thinking, don't believe yourself, you bastard..."
**Sajjad** (With sarcasm)
"You are currently handicapped and I consider you like a woman... I can't kill a woman..." He laughs, Derek is extremely angry.
**Dalia** steps forward, looks at the walls, then at the two of them.
**Dalia** (In a sharp, controlled voice)
"Stop acting like children?"
(She points to the walls)
"If we make one mistake here... we will die in a massive explosion..."
**Sajjad** (To himself, worried)
"The problem isn't just that, but the explosion will definitely reach the real world... If the dimension is destroyed, it will likely crush more than a thousand contiguous districts in the country, causing an enormous number of casualties, worse than international wars..." He thinks, worried and troubled.
Riman suddenly turns. She sees Khalid standing behind Derek. Her eyes widen.
**Riman**
(With surprise)
"Khalid?! (Then with annoyance and a smile that never moves her lips) What are you doing here..."
(She stands and runs towards him)
"Brother! What are you doing here?!"
**Khalid**
(Smiling, shrugging, very scared and terrified)
"How did we fall... and why am I here..."
(He laughs nervously and smiles)
"I saw you and followed... Don't worry, I'm not scared..."
Riman looks at his feet. They are trembling. He doesn't feel it, but she notices.
She looks at him as if telling him clearly that his fear is obvious.
Then she looks at Fox again.
**Riman** (To herself)
"Fox is still asleep..." Very worried and with a hoarse voice
"Why isn't he waking up? I'm worried about him...I can't tell them; they won't be able to treat him..."
**Derek**
(Looking at Khalid with a smile)
"Are you Riman's brother? I didn't know..." Gently
Khalid nods, trembling very much.
**Dalia**
(Calmly, but with authority)
"Calm down, child...We know you're scared..." (With sarcasm) She sighs
**Sajjad** stands far away, looking at the walls, analyzing the reflections, and trying to find a quick exit. Meanwhile, Riman is sitting with Derek, smiling at him, talking to Khalid, and trying to calm him down...then he looks at her, shocked.
**Dalia**
(Calmly, but sharply and sarcastically, hitting him on the back)
"Sajjad... are you jealous?"
Sajjad doesn't respond.
To himself (Annoyed by her innocent smile turning into a malicious one)
"You didn't see her malicious looks just now (Angry)...He says jealousy (Annoyed)...I didn't make a mistake when I said Derek isn't a man...How can a girl deceive him so easily (Confused)..."
He turns his head and looks at the wall.
"It doesn't matter, leave them alone (Annoyed by their voices)...(Calmly) Our current location is near where Fruk was floating...We need to destroy the well of the explosion; that's the only solution...Since we entered the southern or eastern part of the maze, which is farther from the well...We need to return to his position...The reason is that the dimension's power starts from the point of physical contact with the energy field in the void...This leads to the creation of the dimension, but if the energy input (drain) is too strong, it turns into a time bomb..." He contemplates, explains, and thinks.
"So, the most important thing is to destroy whoever guards the well of power and drain its energy..." He draws his gun.
**Dalia** approaches
(Smiling maliciously)
"Jealousy is evident on you..." Surprising him
**Sajjad**
(Without expression)
"I'm not jealous...." Annoyed
(Then he turns his eyes)
"I won't interfere because it's her free will (Calmly)... (Whispering) But if he gets close to her...I have other plans for them..."
(He looks at Derek brushing a strand of hair from her face)
"I didn't expect such boldness from them (Smiling cunningly)...I'll make them truly fall in love under the earth (Tapping his fingers)..." Smiling angrily
**Dalia** smiles and suppresses a laugh, then is shocked. To herself
"Love and what it kills...Hold on, he said both...not just Derek...Never mind, I'll enjoy a beautiful drama today..." Smiling and indifferent
Aloud, happy
"Don't say it, Sajjad, stop..." and jumps happily at the drama
**Sajjad** (With great anger, then turns his eyes)
"I really expected you both to be embarrassed for an hour...But no, you're enjoying the conversation...leaving everything to me..." Very angry
**Riman** smiles gently, nervous
"I think there's a misunderstanding; he was just moving a strand of hair..."
**Sajjad** is extremely angry and very annoyed
"I don't care about your honor...but humiliating me like this makes me think of sending you both peacefully to the grave..."
He grabs them by their hair
**Derek** with arrogance and sarcasm
"You're jealous of me...because she treated me instead of you..."
**Sajjad** with sarcasm and mockery
"Why would I be jealous of a sister treating her sister..."
**Derek** turns red and is angry
"Scum...do you want to humiliate me..."
**Sajjad** calmly, indifferent, pulling his hair
"So what..." Derek is shocked
**Derek** (Smiling cunningly)
"Let go of her hair...or I'll fight you with all my strength, and the area will become prone to explosion due to the imbalance of power, you know..."
**Sajjad**
"Alright...(Smiling maliciously)" Kicks his back "Your emotions almost made me cry..." and hits him with the same force as Fruk's previous strike, indifferent to the cruelty
**Sajjad** with a severe warning
"Don't repeat it...because your necks don't want to fly, right..." He gestures with his hand to his neck, the sign of killing, and closes his eyes. Riman shakes her head in fear.
**Khalid** annoyed and scared
"Isn't this place enough...we don't need him..." He looks at him, scared, and trembles
**Sajjad**
(Without turning)
"I'll take Riman because we'll split into two teams..."
**Derek** stands suddenly.
**Derek**
"Impossible...I won't leave her with you...just a second ago, you almost killed her...."
Annoyed and strongly refusing
**Sajjad**
(Looking at him for the first time with complete coldness)
"I'm not asking for your permission..." Derek is silent because he knows he has no right to speak since she is his wife in the end
**Derek** shows his arrows fiercely, while Sajjad remains as calm as ice
"I don't want that..."
**Khalid**
"Me too...Riman going with a monster like him...will be dangerous..." Annoyed and angry
**Sajjad** sighs indifferently
Then Dalia speaks and negotiates with Derek
"Derek, you know you're injured and can't protect her...and you can't even protect yourself...Instead, Riman is his wife, so he won't hurt her...(Then she speaks to Khalid) but you, child, if you go instead of her, after insulting him, he will finish you..."
**Riman**
"Don't worry, we'll split...nothing will happen to me..."
Smiling calmly
Derek smiles, Khalid is annoyed and doesn't want it
Derek (Smiling and calm after her words, but also nervous)
"If anything happens to you, you can scream, and I'll come to save you quickly..."
Sajjad looks at her for a moment. Then he nods for her to follow him.
The team splits with difficulty among the indistinguishable glass.
Dalia
"That fox, is he still asleep despite the commotion..." Surprised
####№############№######
Riman still holds Fox and proceeds. Before entering the glass wall, she looks at Derek through the light glass, which deepens with time.
Riman (Waves goodbye, smiling)
"Goodbye..."
Then she smiles... a light, sad, mocking smile.
Inside the new section of the maze, the walls are darker. The reflections are distorted.
Riman looks at Fox, who is still asleep in her arms. His face is pale, and he breathes slowly.
She places her hand on his forehead.
Riman
(Whispering, very worried)
"Why are you asleep?"
(Looking around, worried and tense)
"You don't have a fever anymore..."
Fox telepathically and tired
"I want to sleep for a while..."
She replies, "Okay," patting him gently...her eyes show some concern.
Sajjad stands in front of a glass wall, looking at his reflection. His eyes are cold.
But behind him, deep in the wall, a small shadow moves... the shape of a fast, white creature... it opens one completely black eye, then disappears.
