Laila enjoyed the pleasant night and the starry sky with the grand historical structure in front of her when she saw a shadow moving at some distance.
The shadow stopped under the nearby tree, hiding well in the dark. Laila squinted her eyes, trying to see who that was, but it was difficult for her from that distance.
The clock showed the time of midnight, and it was strange for someone to get out at that odd hour. Laila was thinking about who the person might be and what they were doing there when she saw a man coming out from the building to her left.
He turned his head to look around, and Laila hide behind the iron railings at the right time. The man looked like he was afraid of someone catching him. He hurried towards that same tree.
The light from the half-moon and the stars made him quite visible. Laila waited patiently as he spoke with that shadow. She noticed as that anonymous person gave him something, and he stuffed it in his pocket without checking it.
