Ammar's POV:
"Ammar Sir." Someone was calling for me, I opened my eyes and the blurred vision was of one of the working staff at home. I blinked a few time and moved a little. My muscles making me let out a groan as they hurt while I sat up.
"Sir, Mr. Khalid wants to see you downstairs." He informed and walked away. I frowned rubbing my eyes and that's when I looked around.
I slept here, outside washroom door- on the floor. I let out a yawn and stretched, hearing my bones crack. My body was kind of stiff because of sleeping on hard floor. I looked around and the room was empty. Running my hand through my hair I stood up. My mind racing back to incidents of last night and I sighed. I walked to the door and out to my room which was two rooms away from this one.
As soon as I entered my washroom to take bath my eyes met mine in mirror and I inspected my cheek. Her hand marks are gone. My mind went back to what the servant had said.
Mr. Khalid wants to see you downstairs. I bit my lip and shook my head. She told dad. Ignoring the growing tension in my mind I undo my shirt buttons and got ready to get fresh with bath.

Noor's POV:
"Hello there." Rabia said as she plopped down on the bench beside me. I tried and smiled at her, matching her enthusiastic nature but failed cause she frowned too soon.
"What's wrong?" She asked and I blinked my eyes, looking down at my food tray. Your brother. I wanted to say, I wanted to tell everyone- I wanted dad to beat him for hurting me. I wanted my sisters to scold him for misbehaving with me. I wanted my brothers to keep him away from me but..
I have none. No family.
"Noor- what.. why are you crying?" She asked with concern as she sidr hugged me and I hugged her back, letting my heart get the best of me. For that moment nothing mattered. Not that Rabia probably think I am stupid for crying and also not that we are in university canteen- in between many students.
"Oh boo-baby is crying?" I heard Rukaiya snicker with her heels clicking on the tiled floor as she neared us. I took in a deep breath and wiped my tears away before looking gratefully at Rabia. She smiled sadly at me.
"What's up? Someone said something harsh to our baby here?" She laughed humourlessly and I looked at her with a tired expression. I don't want this drama right now.
"Ruks, not now." Rabia tried politely but Rukaiya gave her a glare causing me look away. Hoping Rukaiya will disappear. Too much to ask for?
"What is she wearing?" I heard a boy asking and looked back to see him standing behind Rukaiya with a smirk on his lips.
"This black clothe- don't you feel weird?" He asked me directly and I felt my blood boiling at his remark.
"She is an old type of Muslim." Rukaiya replied while smirking at me and I smiled at her. Standing up I looked between her and the boy behind her.
"I am Muslim. There are no types. Just Muslims." I said and she narrowed her eyes at me.
"Ruks is Muslim too she doesn't wear these clothes over her head- do you have hair under that?" He asked and a few laughs gathered with his loud voice. Rabia held my hand as she stood up.
"Okay not funny, go to hell, Steve." She said to the guy and he made faces at Rabia, causing me to question his maturity but I shook my head. I am no one to judge.
"It's Hijab." I replied with sincere intention to let them know. To my reply he raised his eyebrows at me.
"Why do your religion force you to cover? What kind of punishment is this?" He asked and I sighed.
"Have you seen treasure around the corner?" I asked and he frowned at me. I noticed I had attention of few people more around our table. He laughed.
"What are you dumb?" He asked and I shook my head. He rolled his eyes.
"Treasure can't be around the corner, dumbass. It will somewhere treasured in a lock box or something." He explained with a duh tone and I smiled.
"Exactly. And we girls, women are treasures of Islam. We keep ourselves covered cause you can't find diamonds uncovered. Now can you?" I asked with a sharp gaze and his mouth hand low. Rukaiya gave me a death glare and I shook my head at her.
"We are Princesses and Queens of Islam. Our beauty is for our husband to see. Not for everyone." I was about to turned around after saying that when he stood up.
"So what? You are punished to stay cover?" I took in a deep breath. He didn't got any of what I explained I guess. I turned around and looked at him.
"If showing your body is aloud then why covering is a big deal?" I asked and he blinked at me.
"Yes. No answer. Now stop judging my choices. It's my life, given by ALLAH Subhan O Tallah and I cover myself cause HE told us women to cover our beauty. No more discussion needed." I said with a firm end and his eyes slightly widened at my firm voice. I let out a small puff of air as I looked at Rabia and she smiled at me with a wink. A smile broke on my lips as she mouthed oh you go girl!
"Fe Aman ALLAH." I said "may ALLAH keep you in peace and safe" and turned away. Just as I was about to turn in the corner I heard him say.
"Who is Aman?" I stopped and face palmed myself.
Superb.

Ammar's POV:
"Yeah, I will let you know about the decorations but not yet. Yeah just book a huge hall- it will be a grand celebration. She will finally be able to take over her busi-" dad cut himself off as I entered the office and looked at me. I looked at him and he nodded for me to take a seat.
I walked upto the table and sat down while rolling my sleeves upwards. My eyes on the table while dad was pacing back and forward talking on the call.
"I will call you later. Bye." He hang up the call and looked at me. His eyes dead serious and I fought the urge to roll my eyes. I gulped and sat straighter, ready for him to go crazy on rant cause I kissed Noor-
"What is your age, Ammar?" He suddenly asked, cutting off my thoughts and I frowned at the old man looking down at me from across the table.
"What?" I asked and he nodded.
"You heard me." He replied and I slowly nodded. Did Noor told him? And if yes what does it have to do any with my age. Oh shit- is Noor underage? Damn. But she doesn't looks under 18-
"Speak up young man." He addressed me and I looked at him again coming out of my train of thoughts. I straightened my posture.
"I will be turning Twenty seven next month, Dad." I informed him and he nodded, while taking seat on his chair.
"What have you thought about your future, Ammar?" He dished out the question he always throw at me and I sighed. He stared me with a firm expression.
"I want you to take the hold of CEO position. I am tired of your delays, Ammar." He said and I clenched my jaw.
"Did you heard me?" He asked and I was about to stand up when the door opened to the office and I heard her.
"Dad! You should have seen the drama today in university! Noor totally slayyeedd-" Rabia said with over enthusiasm as usual and I swirled in my seat. She stopped near the door as soon as her eyes met mine. She lowered her gaze in a second and I can see all the colours fading away from her face.
I wasn't proud of what happened last night. I stood up when Dad walked up to Noor and held her wrist.
"Come'on in, Noor. See this is our office." Dad said as he brought her in and I stepped away from the way as dad made her sit on the seat where I was sitting a minute ago. Rabia sat on the armrest while dad took the seat on the other chair beside her.
"It's a good coincidence you came today. I was just appointing Ammar as CEO-" Dad was saying with a proud smile and I stare Noor closely as she looked my way for a mile second but Rabia interrupted.
"CEO? Dad? Really this useless angry man have no skills." She laughed thinking it was funny. I clenched my jaw when she high fived with Noor. She is insulting me in front of Noor. The fact made the veins on my arms pop as I fisted my hands behind my back.
To my relief, Noor didn't laughed instead she stayed quiet. I smiled and looked at Dad.
"I will join office from tomorrow, Dad." I said and his eyes widened slightly in suprise. I nodded and he was about to say something but I turned around to walk away.
"This is a miracle. Whoops." I heard Rabia say and shook my head. As I stepped in the elevator. My eyes stared at myself in the mirror.
What have I done. I shut my eyes and leaned back on the metal wall. After avoiding office for three years I said yes to this daily work because of Rabia making fun of me? I thought to myself and that's when the elevator dinged open. I walked out and into the lobby. My eyes were ahead of me as I was about to leave when I heard the receptionist talking to the staff boy.
"Bring three meals here and take it to Mr. Khalid's office. Miss. Rabi and Miss. Noor are staying for lunch." The receptionist said and got back to her work. My eyes flickered back to the top floor and something tugged on my heart as I walked backwards before facing the door and walked out.
A smile coming to my lips as I realised, I said yes to CEO position cause I wanted to see respect in Noor's eyes for me.
Because she matters to me.
