Comprehensive English Translation: Pages 1 & 2

Chapter 1: Arrival in the Frost and the Weight of Secrets

The biting haze and heavy snowfall of Moscow’s winter did not prevent the Aeroflot-Plus flight from touching down safely at Sheremetyevo Airport. The weather was intensely dense; the pilot could barely distinguish the ground guidance lights through the blinding whiteout. Outside, nothing fell save for relentless snow. For anyone suffering from asthma, such severe cold carried the risk of triggering a critical medical emergency.

Gradually, the aircraft taxied to a halt at the designated parking bay. Inside the cabin, passengers stirred, unbuckling their seatbelts in preparation for disembarkation.

Abeed’s twin brother, Zain, exhaled a slow, deep breath, pressing his palms together until his knuckles clicked with a tired sound. He glanced down at his wristwatch: 1:15 AM. Rising smoothly, he slipped his hands into the pockets of his tailored suit and walked slowly toward the VIP compartment. He wondered quietly why Abeed had not yet stepped out. Was his brother all right? Had the harsh Russian cold triggered his health vulnerabilities?

"Ya Rabb, protect your servant," Zain whispered aloud as he gently pushed open the VIP door and stepped inside.

He froze. Abeed lay stretched out flat across a long leather couch, showing no signs of waking. His eyes were closed, his arms crossed tightly over his chest, and his breathing was soft and steady. In sleep, he looked remarkably peaceful; the soft fringe of hair falling across his forehead framed his face like that of a delicate youth.

Zain stared at his brother, his eyes filled with a profound depth of love and devotion for his twin—his Biyuni. Stepping closer, Zain reached down and gently parted Abeed’s crossed arms. He leaned in, pressing his ear to Abeed’s chest to listen. Something felt wrong. Abeed never fell into such a deep, unresponsive sleep inside an aircraft.

Pulling back, Zain murmured softly, "I don't know what is wrong with my Biyuni. What is he hiding from me? Is he keeping secrets? No, Abeed cannot hide anything from me. He is my life, and I am his. He wouldn't do that... surely not."

As he spoke, Zain noticed Abeed’s iPhone resting nearby and picked it up. He was stunned to see twenty missed calls from Riya, dating all the way back to Nigeria, while Abeed had failed to answer a single one. A wave of regret washed over him. "Sorry, Riya. Insha Allah, I will step in for him," Zain muttered, slipping Abeed’s phone into his own pocket. "I love you, Biyunina."

A sudden movement caught Zain’s attention. He spun around just as Abeed opened his eyes. Abeed’s striking, natural blue irises were bloodshot and blazing an intense, unnatural red. Zain paused, noticing the alarming shift, though he could not yet decipher its full meaning.

Trying to keep his tone light and cheerful, Zain asked, "When did you wake up?"

Abeed hesitated before slowly parting his lips, wincing slightly as he spoke in a low, raspy voice. "From 'I love you said...'," he murmured, pushing himself upright and adjusting his suit jacket.

Zain merely smiled, accustomed to the heavy, enigmatic demeanor of his twin. Despite being born on the very same day, in the same month, and the same year, Abeed could sometimes act distant and impenetrable.

In this world, Abeed found genuine comfort in only three people: his twin brother Zain, Mai Martaba (the royal monarch), and Naila.

Zain was tall, fair-complexioned, with bright, expressive eyes and an open, carefree disposition. His only true source of anxiety was his brother’s health. He hid nothing and approached life with an easygoing grace.

Abeed, on the other hand, possessed an unyielding spirit. He detested being watched or scrutinized unless he was performing on stage. He despised dishonesty and had zero tolerance for prevarication. If Abeed said "Yes," he meant absolute truth; no one could ever trick or manipulate him into a lie. He was fair-skinned, with large, piercing blue eyes and thick, wavy hair that fell across his forehead—a distinct physical marker that set him apart from Zain.

Yet, beneath his quiet exterior, Abeed was concealing a crushing burden. Just how much longer could he keep it from Zain?

Without another word, Abeed slipped his hands into his pockets and walked slowly toward the private restroom inside the VIP cabin, closing the door behind him. Leaning heavily against the doorframe, he struggled for breath. He cared little if he lost his own life, but the thought of what Zain would endure shattered him. This agonizing realization was why sleep constantly eluded him. Recent medical findings had confirmed a terrifying reality: Abeed had barely five months left to live.

Outside, hearing nothing for a prolonged moment, Zain knocked gently on the door. "Hey, my friend, is everything okay?"

Abeed did not answer. A sudden wave of nausea overtook him, and he rushed to the sink, coughing violently. Bright red blood stained the porcelain. He rinsed his mouth and splashed cold water over his face before unlocking the door and stepping out. Walking past Zain without stopping, Abeed moved quickly to conceal the truth.

Zain watched him go with a worried gaze. Spotting Abeed’s medical inhaler left behind on the seat, Zain picked it up and hurried after him.

At the aircraft stairs, Abeed stood motionless, his head bowed, his face tense and flushed a deep red. Zain noticed a young foreign woman staring intently at Abeed.

"Shall we?" Zain prompted gently, holding up the inhaler.

When Abeed finally raised his gaze, his eyes were gradually returning to their normal hue. He looked at Zain with an unspoken plea.

Slapping his forehead in self-reproach, Zain muttered, "Ya Rabb, I almost forgot." Reaching into his pocket, he pulled out a stylish protective mask and stepped close to his brother, carefully securing it over Abeed's face. "How is your body? Did the cold affect you?"

Abeed closed his eyes, preparing to reply, but noticed the foreign woman still watching them closely. He reached out, resting a hand on Zain's shoulder and pivoting his twin around so that Zain shielded him from view. Opening his eyes wide, Abeed slid a diamond ring from his own finger and slipped it onto Zain’s hand.

Giving a small, melancholic smile, Abeed whispered in a voice barely above a whisper, "You will replace me..."

Without waiting, he walked toward a luxurious waiting car parked nearby. They both climbed into the back seat while the driver loaded their luggage and drove them away from the airport.

Chapter 2: Shadows in Moscow and Desolation in Katsina

Their car pulled up before the grand entrance of the Azimut Hotel Tulskaya in Moscow. Zain stepped out first, followed closely by Abeed, who still wore his face mask and dark sunglasses. To maintain absolute privacy, Zain wore a matching mask. Moving with quiet efficiency, Zain retrieved their room keys, and they ascended to Room 120.

Once inside, Zain turned to Abeed. "So, what about your show? Which hall is it scheduled in?"

Abeed, unbuttoning his shirt, replied flatly, "I am not going."

Zain stared at him in disbelief. "Pardon?"

Abeed reached for a bottle of chilled water, unscrewing the cap. Before he could raise it to his lips, Zain snatched it away with fierce urgency. "Are you out of your mind? Look at your breath frosting from the extreme cold, and you want to drink freezing water?"

Abeed adopted an expression of total indifference, reaching for another bottle. Once again, Zain snatched it from his hand, his voice rising in anger. "Have you forgotten your health status? Have you forgotten your severe asthma?"

Abeed stepped back, sinking slowly into a chair as he fought for breath. After a long moment, he raised his head, walked slowly over to Zain, and spoke in a soft, weary tone.

"Are you afraid of death? Then..."

"Don't you dare speak to me about death!" Zain interrupted, his voice breaking. "And why must death take you? I swear, the day I wake up and find you gone is the exact day I lose my own life as well."

Abeed offered a bitter, dismissive shrug, turning away in silence. Seeing his brother’s fragile state, Zain rushed forward and blocked his path. Abeed halted, looking up into Zain’s tear-filled eyes.

"What now?" Abeed murmured.

Unable to speak, Zain wrapped his arms tightly around Abeed. "Stay with me, Biyuni. Stay with me, Abeddeen."

Abeed smiled a sorrowful smile. He knew his brother remained completely unaware of the truth. Only Abeed understood the fatal grip of his illness. I must leave you soon, he thought to himself. I think my mother is calling me. Aloud, he whispered, "I love you."

"To the rest of my life," Zain replied softly.

After refreshing themselves, they retired for the night. Yet Zain fell asleep consumed by anxiety, vowing to consult a top specialist regarding Abeed’s condition the very next day.

Chapter 3: The Cryptic Directive and the Parallel Tragedy

The alarm on Abeed’s phone rang, pulling him slowly from a restless sleep. He had barely slept a wink; every time the words of Dr. Siya echoed in his mind, his world seemed to stop. Pushing the duvet aside, he sat up and gently nudged Zain’s foot just as he always did before heading to the restroom. Zain rose soon after, and both prepared themselves, dressing in soft white Arabian jallabiyas. They attended dawn prayers at the hotel mosque before returning to their suite.

Back in the room, Zain sat before his laptop, his fingers flying across the keyboard. He was knee-deep in a massive criminal defense case—a high-profile trial involving robbery and murder allegations. It was one of the most dangerous and complex cases he had ever encountered.

Lifting his gaze, Zain looked at Abeed, who stood quietly pouring milk into a glass cup. "I am confused about something," Zain confessed.

Abeed remained silent, in no mood for conversation. When the silence stretched, Zain sighed, "Arrogant..."

Abeed gave a slight smirk, walking over to take a seat. He sipped his milk slowly, stroked his beard, and finally asked, "What did you say?"

Frowning playfully, Zain pointed at his laptop screen. "Look, I’ve searched for everything I need, but..."

"But what?" Abeed prompted.

"First, the primary suspect behind the robbery is an influential figure. Second, a woman was used as a decoy to execute the crime. And lastly, alongside the robbery charges, this man maintains ties to various young women—a detail I still cannot connect."

Abeed stood up, setting his glass aside. "You have to drop this criminal case."

It was the longest sentence Abeed had spoken since their arrival. Shocked, Zain stared at him. "Do you realize what you're saying?"

Abeed closed his eyes. "Have you ever known me to lose my mind?"

"How can I know?" Zain retorted. "I'm discussing a serious legal matter, and you're speaking in riddles."

Abeed remained silent for several minutes before turning back to Zain. "Speak up, my friend. What is on your mind?" Zain urged gently.

Abeed opened his mouth, speaking in a low, solemn voice. "You will take my place at the show."

"Why? People have already paid for tickets! How can I perform when that is not my profession?" Zain protested.

Abeed walked toward the bedroom door. "Be ready. You are going as me."

"Oh, hello! What if someone figures out I am not Abeddeen Abdul-Jabbar Abbas?" Zain called out.

"No one will know," Abeed replied softly before disappearing into the bedroom.

That evening, while Zain watched television, Abeed emerged dressed in a dark blue floral jacquard one-button suit. Zain sprang to his feet, adjusting Abeed’s wristwatch and kneeling to slip leather shoes onto his feet. "Where are you going?"

"I have a meeting," Abeed murmured.

"A meeting?" Zain echoed in astonishment. "When did you schedule this?"

Abeed offered no reply. Seeing the stern look on his face, Zain relented. "All right. The weather outside is terrible. Please take good care of yourself, okay?"

As Abeed stepped out of the room, he gave a final, quiet promise: "I will."

Chapter 4: The Wilderness of Katsina

Meanwhile, in a secluded region in southern Katsina, inside an elite private school for boys and girls, a class teacher hurried down the hallway. It was already late, yet the students remained inside their classroom long after everyone else had departed.

Stepping into the silent classroom, the teacher scanned the room. He spotted two girls sitting together: one was absorbed in coloring a drawing, while the other rested her head heavily on her desk.

"Sairah!" the teacher called out in surprise.

The girl addressed as Sairah lowered her colored pencils and looked up. She was a strikingly fair young girl, clearly of Fulani descent. Her features carried an uncanny resemblance to the legendary Bollywood actress Kajol, accented by a distinct natural mole perched right above her bridge of nose.

Seeing her distracted, the teacher asked gently, "Haba, twins! What is wrong with you two today?"

Sairah remained silent. The teacher sighed, walking over. "Wake your sister up. Sara! Sara! Sara!"

At the sound of her name, Sara fluttered her eyes open and sat up. Subhanallah! It was virtually impossible to tell Sairah and Sara apart; they were identical in every physical aspect save for their moles—Sairah’s sat above her nose, while Sara’s rested just below. It was a marvelous testament to divine creation: identical twins born from the same womb, famously known as Tagwayen Asali (True Twins).

Sara blinked sleepily and curled her lips in defiance. Unlike the infinitely patient Sairah, Sara possessed a sharp, unyielding temperament.

"What happened to you two today, Daddy's twins?" the teacher asked.

Sara shot him a fierce glare and snapped in her sharp, melodic voice, "Hey! Shut up and leave!"

Flustered, the teacher quickly retreated. "Okay, fine! Your daddy is outside waiting to pick you up!"

Both girls sprang to their feet in unison, gasping, "What? Daddy?"

Sara bolted ahead toward the exit while Sairah gathered their schoolbags.

Outside, their father stood beside his luxury car, his face wrapped in a heavy scarf that left only his eyes visible. Upon seeing them, a wide smile broke across his face. He opened his arms wide as the girls ran straight into his embrace.

"We missed you a lot, Daddy!" they chorused.

Sairah slipped into the front passenger seat while Sara climbed into the back. Without a word, he started the engine and drove away from the school grounds.

After driving for a considerable distance, he veered off the main road onto an unfamiliar route. Sara pressed her face against the window. "Daddy, where are we going?"

"Out," he replied tersely.

Exhausted from the day, the girls soon drifted off to sleep, waking up only to doze off once more as the car plunged deeper into a dense, terrifying, and pitch-black forest.

Coming to a halt, he switched off the engine and stepped outside. Hurrying around to the back, he opened the doors and shook them gently. "Sara! Sairah!"

They startled awake, looking around in alarm. "Daddy, this place isn't safe! Let's go home!"

Without answering, he pulled them both into a tight, desperate embrace. They held onto him for a long time before he pulled back and asked in a trembling voice, "Who am I to you?"

Sara, ever talkative, answered instantly, "You gave birth to us, Daddy! You are our everything, our greatest joy!"

His voice cracked as he replied, "I am not your father. I have never fathered children, nor have I ever been blessed with twins like you. Sara, take care of your sister—your twin, your Biyuni. Take care of her. I am leaving you here."

"Daddy, here?!" Sairah cried out in terror. "What if wild animals eat us?"

"Nothing will happen to you. Your life in this wilderness is far better than any life you would have with me. I am not your father. Allah decreed our paths to cross here," he said, stroking their heads one last time before jumping back into the car.

Sairah burst into tears, clinging desperately to her sister. Sara, despite her tough exterior, closed her eyes as a hot tear slipped down her cheek.

Their father slammed the foot on the accelerator, tearing down the dirt path. Tears streamed down his own face beneath his mask. Slamming on the brakes, he broke down completely, sobbing uncontrollably.

"Inalillahi wa'inna ilaihir raji'un... I have lost my own children..."

Chapter 5: The Forest Shelter and Past Sacrifices

"I have lost my own children! What kind of father am I?" he berated himself, wiping the tears from his eyes before throwing the car into reverse and speeding back into the dim forest trails.

For nearly twenty minutes, he drove blindly through the dense thicket, searching desperately, but there was no sign of them. Panic gripped his soul. He cursed himself for leaving them, tormented by the thought of what might be lurking in the dark woods. Sairah possessed endless patience, but Sara harbored a fierce, unforgiving spirit—though her wrath was triggered only when someone dared to harm her sister.

Stopping the car, he stepped out into the night and cried out into the emptiness: "Sara! Sairah! Sara! Sairah!"

No response echoed back. Then, his foot caught something on the ground. He knelt down, his heart stopping. It was Sara’s hijab, stained dark with blood.

Collapsing to his knees, he clutched the fabric to his chest. "Inalillahi wa'inna ilaihir raji'un... It is over. I have killed my own children with my own hands. Some wild beast has devoured my twins!"

As grief overwhelmed his mind, he began to hallucinate, muttering incoherently as he rocked back and forth on the forest floor, clutching the bloodied cloth as though his very life depended on it.

Deep in the forest, beneath the heavy canopy of an ancient tree, the two sisters huddled together. Sara was struggling for breath, violent fits of coughing wracking her body as fresh blood spilled from her lips. Despite her agony, she tried to put on a brave face for Sairah, though her efforts were failing.

In mounting panic, Sairah gripped her sister’s shoulders. "What hurts you, my twin?"

Sara gasped for air, her voice strained. "Nothing... I just feel a heavy weight in my chest. Stop crying, twin. Nothing will happen to me. Your tears are my greatest pain." She reached up, wiping the tears from Sairah’s cheeks.

Sairah shook her head frantically. "How can my mind be at peace? I still remember when we were in primary school, and you fell deathly ill. You were suffering from severe kidney failure, and neither I nor Daddy knew how bad it was until we rushed to the hospital. The doctor told us both your kidneys had failed completely. But a young stranger stepped forward, donating his own kidney to save your life! Even the doctor didn't know who he was. Because of him and Almighty Allah, you are still alive today. How can you expect me not to worry? How can you think you are the only one who loves deeply? We were born from the same womb; our bond is sacred. I love you, Sara, and I cannot bear to lose you!"

Seeing Sairah’s distress, Sara forced a weak, courageous smile, swallowing another cough.

"Haba, twin... are you crying over that?"

Literary Analysis: Themes, Motifs, and Narrative Structure

1. The Motif of Twins (Tagwayen Asali)

The narrative is built around a striking dual mirror structure:

• Zain and Abeed: Represent male parity, intellectual contrast (Law vs. Music), and protective devotion. Abeed bears the physical and emotional burden of impending mortality, while Zain acts as his external pillar and legal shield.
• Sairah and Sara: Represent female duality, contrasting temperaments (patience versus fierce defiance), and physical symbiosis. Their survival relies entirely on mutual sacrifice.

2. The Psychology of Sacrifice

• Abeed's Silence: Abeed hides his terminal diagnosis not out of selfishness, but to shield Zain from emotional devastation. His willingness to substitute his identity in public appearances underscores a profound blurring of individual boundaries between twins.
• The Kidney Transplant Backstory: The revelation that an anonymous stranger previously saved Sara's life introduces a web of interconnected debts and predestined encounters that will likely bridge the Moscow and Katsina storylines.

3. Atmospheric Contrast

Nimcyluv Sarauta masterfully juxtaposes settings to amplify emotional stakes:

• The Freezing Cold of Moscow: Mirrors Abeed’s internal isolation, failing respiratory health, and emotional freezing.
• The Dark Wilderness of Katsina: Acts as a crucible of survival, stripping away civilization to test the core bonds of sisterly love and paternal remorse.
