في الرابع من آب،th of August, Shalimar was coming back to Beirut with her friends when she saw smoke above the Port of Beirut. When she arrived to Charles Helou Avenue, very close to Ayman’s office, everything blew up. An earth-shattering sound, and the car was blown away and hit something… Shalimar touched herself and there was blood streaming down her face. She went to the hospital with her friends.

On her way there, Shalimar was trying to call Ayman to tell him what happened to her. It never occurred to her he could still be at the office. In fact, Ayman insisted to meet a client at 5:00 PM. After long hours of search, things began to point towards one possible theory. Shalimar’s father told her her husband is at the hospital. She felt hopeful and went to see him. At the hospital, Ayman’s brother told her in a heartbroken voice: “Ayman is forever gone.”
