Anisa first went to the supermarket in her own neighborhood, only to find it closed. Hoping for better luck, she asked the taxi driver to take her to the nearby town, but even there, the supermarket she needed was not open. With no other option, she had to travel a little farther in search of one.
By a strange twist of fate, the place she finally reached was the area where Yugh lived. Fortunately, the supermarket there was open. Relieved, Anisa stepped inside, took a shopping basket, and began carefully selecting items while checking her list.
"Cashews, sugar, carrots, raisins, fresh milk, condensed milk, cardamom powder… Ghee is already at home… I think I got everything," she murmured softly to herself, scanning the list once more.👀
Suddenly, the ring on her finger slipped off and fell to the floor, rolling forward across the smooth tiles. Startled, Anisa hurried after it. Her heart skipped a beat when she saw the ring stop beneath a man's shoe.
"Excuse me, mister… that's my ring," she said, lifting her head nervously.
As she looked up, the face before her felt strangely familiar. Her mind raced. Isn't he the husband of the woman who was with Zayan during the accident? The one I traveled with in the ambulance that day? 💭
Yes; it was Yugh.
He looked at Anisa and raised his voice irritably. "Aren't you that girl? Why are you following me?" His tone was loud enough that a few people in the supermarket turned to look at them. 🙄
"No, no… it's just that… my ring is under your foot," Anisa replied in a timid voice.
Yugh bent down, picked up the ring, and glanced at it briefly. 💍
"Looks like your husband gave you a loose ring," he said bluntly, handing it back to her.
Without another word, he gathered his own items and walked toward the payment counter, leaving Anisa standing there, holding her ring, her thoughts tangled by yet another unexpected encounter. 🚶
