"Marry me?"

Hanan was baffled by this question that Fahd had asked her. She has never thought about marriage for the last 5 years since her ex-husband left her...well more like abandoned her.

Why?

Because she got pregnant when he said that he wasn't ready to be a father. So he just packed up and left her with her daughter in her stomach.

After a few weeks, she ended up receiving the divorce papers and the papers to terminate his rights as the unborn baby's father.

Hanan knew that her family would be behind her in whatever she decided for herself and her daughter.

"Why?", she asks him.

"Because......"

"Fahd, I don't need lies so please tell me the real truth.", she interrupts him.

Fahd wanted to say that he wanted her daughter to stay close to him as she was one of the people that brought his real self back to the way he was. But he couldn't know that Hanan wouldn't think twice before leaving with her.

"Because some things can't be explained, Hanan. Take your time and think about it and then answer me. But my answer is that I need you by my side. And that will your decision and not mine....."

Love wasn't something that is in her mind or even her heart. She had to think about her daughter who became her life the day she was born.

Armaan is and will always be her life. As she has never hidden anything from her and she wasn't about to do that now.

"I can't marry you, Fahd. I am sorry", she tells him trying to keep her emotions inside herself.

"Why? Is it because of Armaan? I can talk to her if that's what you want me to do....."

"No, it's not about her......"

Fahd moves closer to her making her move backward. He didn't want to make her feel scared of him.

And she didn't want rumors to be spread at the office that she tries and seduce him.

Her boss.

"What are you doing?", she asks him.

"Moving closer to you. Why? Do I make you nervous?", he asks her smiling inwardly.

Fahd was mesmerized by her.

When he heard what happened to her, he was beyond surprised at how she managed to raise her daughter without any help from her ex or even her ex-in-laws.

Fahd wished that he had her strength and her belief in life. But what he doesn't know is that her heart might not be able to love.

"Marry me?", he asks her once again putting his hand on her face and making her blush.

"I....."

"Mamma and Uncle, are you in here?", they were interrupted by the voice outside the office door.

Hanan quickly moved away before her daughter came in. If she saw them, the never-ending questions will start appearing in her mouth.

"Yes, we are here, little one", Fahd says while opening the door and letting the little girl in.

Armaan Muhsin has the looks of her mother except for her attitude and her character which is of her uncle Azaan.

Hanan saw how her daughter and her boss interacted with each other. Armaan has never been like this with anyone well except for their family but when it comes to Fahd she is his world ever since she stepped into the office with her mother on her first day at work.

Fahd and Armaan needed each other as they complete each other in ways that no one could even understand not even her mother could.
