Episode 1
The sound of the aircraft engines grated on her ears. Farah stared out of the window and smiled to herself. She never ever dreamt that this day would come. She felt her hand being squeezed gently, and she turned towards her husband with a wide smile on her lips. Zarif smiled back at her, and at that moment they were the happiest couple in the world. Little did they know that this happiness would not last, as tragedy will soon strike...
When they arrived in the airport, Farah's best friend, Bessima was already there waiting for them. Bessima dan Farah have been close friends since their university days in Nottingham, and were even house-mates for a while. Bessima was also acquainted with Zarif, as the three of them went to the same university. After graduation, they kept in touch and remained very close. Actually, it was Bessima who suggested that Farah and Zarif spend their honeymoon in Sabah, as Bessima is a proud native Sabahan who loves promoting the natural beauty of the Land Below the Wind. Farah is quite happy with that suggestion, as she gets to meet an old friend while enjoying a romantic honeymoon in Pulau Mamutik, and even Zarif was relieved as Bessima helped them arrange all their transportation and accommodation.
On the way to the jetty, the three of them happily chatted away about the various happenings in their lives, including Farah and Zarif's recent marriage. Farah still feels awkward talking about herself and Zarif, as she knows that back in university, Bessima had a crush on Zarif. Even before accepting Zarif's marriage proposal, Farah had consulted Bessima first about her feelings, as she didn't want to risk losing her best friend. However, Bessima just laughed and said "Oh dear, that's old history darling. I've gotten over him a long time ago, okay?" At first, Farah doubted her words, but after seeing how happily she celebrated their wedding, and the fact that Bessima recently got engaged to someone else, Farah is relieved and finally believes that Bessima has no more feelings for Zarif.
But is that really true?
Await the next episode...
