PARTMENT LIVING ROOM - DAY
Elegantly dressed Shazadi adjusts her jihab in the wall mirror in the entrance to the large apartment. Her maid Rayyah stands by her side.
RAYYAH
You look very elegant today. Should I tell the driver to prepare the car?
SHAZADI
Yes, Rayyah, please call down and have the driver and the guards ready in 10 minutes. Tell the driver we will be going to pick up my friend Qamar. She is expecting us and will be ready. Please see that the courier picks up this package I am sending to a person in Saudi Arabia. The charges are for my personal account, not that of my husband. I completed the customs declaration so there should be no additional paperwork required.
RAYYAH
Yes, madam.
Shazadi picks up her large handbag from the buffet at the entrance and leaves through the front door.
