Two Months Later.

Alina's birth {Rukiya and Zayd's daughter}

It has now been two months since Aliya was born and her mother's death. Her father didn't even look at her when her Nanny Lea brought her home from the hospital.

He had already told her that he wanted nothing to do with the baby until he gets a DNA test proving that Aliya is his daughter.

Nanny knew that even if the DNA was performed someone who tampered with the results made Zayd believe that he isn't the father.

And that person is none other than Rukiya.

Jealousy will drive people to do something insane just to get what they want and that's how Rukiya is especially when it came to Farha. But now that she is no more, her daughter Aliya would suffer in the future.

How do I protect you, my child, knowing that your mother's killer is in the same house as us? Only Allah knows how to protect us. I pray that He will guide and also take care of us.

Nanny Lea looked at Aliya who was sleeping on her mother's bed as her father didn't even care where she sleeps or even what she eats.

Meanwhile, Rukiya was having labor pains but didn't want to go to the hospital until Zayd came home from work.

She was adamant that he be there at the delivery no matter what important meetings he had.

"You have to get to the hospital, I will be following you there. I am almost at the end of my meeting....."

"I don't care about your stupid meetings, you NEED to be here. This is YOUR baby so you better be there or else I am not giving birth to the baby", Rukiya says while yelling at him.

Zayd knew that she was serious and she would do it. So he decided to let his assistant take his place and drove home to Rukiya so that he can take her to the hospital himself.

In about five minutes, Zayd arrived at the house and quickly carried Rukiya in his arms and took her to the car.

"Could you hurry up?"

Zayd looked at her with unidentified emotion in his heart. He couldn't be regretting marrying her, could he?

He didn't say anything and just started the car to drive her to the hospital while Nanny looked at him through the window holding Aliya in her arms.

"Some day he will realize your worth and that day, it would have been too late for him to even ask for forgiveness from you and your mother, Aliya. Always remember how she has been treated in this house when she was alive".

Nanny Lea shook her head and looked away when she saw Zayd looking at the baby in her arms.

She didn't want Aliya to see him because he doesn't deserve her when he knows that she is his daughter.

Evil will never prevail no matter what happens. It will always be crushed by goodness.

Upon reaching the hospital, Zayd was already tired of Rukiya's nagging and shouting at him.

She wanted things that weren't listed on her list but she had to get them anyhow.

"I need it, Zayd. This is your baby, remember....."

Zayd just blocked out most of what she was saying to him because everything that came out of her mouth was somewhat annoying to him but he would just nod and agreed with whatever she was saying to him.

A nurse gave him scrubs to change into so that he can join his wife in the delivery room.

What seemed like hours when finally she came out.

Alina Zayd.

Zayd was beyond happy to see his daughter being born. He couldn't but smile at Rukiya who was somewhat scared of something.

This is what I was afraid of. At least he didn't say anything about her not being a boy.

The nurse took the baby to get her weight and check out. And then Zayd was asked to step outside of the delivery room so that the doctors could finish examining his wife.

I should call Mum and Dad. They would be happy to know that Rukiya has finally given birth to our beautiful daughter.

What about your other daughter? Doesn't she deserve the same happiness you are showing to your other daughter? His conscious tells him. But he immediately brushed the questions aside and proceeded to call his parents and tell them the news.

"Alhamdullilah, mum, dad. I am finally a father to a beautiful baby girl. You should see her. I will send the driver to you so that he could take you to the hospital now", he tells them over the phone.

His parents were so happy to know that their son has finally become a father.

Alhamdullilah.

What about your other daughter?

Will she get the same affection as Alina?

She is also your daughter.

Zayd's conscious kept asking and telling him about Aliya but he couldn't care less about her.

She isn't his responsibility and will never be.

Meanwhile, Rukiya was already shifted to a private room that she requested. She knew that whatever her baby's gender Zayd would love her more than Aliya and thats what she always wanted.

"Ma'am, here is your daughter. She is ready for feeding..."

"Could you just get her a bottle?" Rukiya asks the nurse but as soon as she saw her husband and her in-laws at the door, she quickly changed her mind and asked the nurse to give her the baby.

What a weird lady. I guess people are also chameleons. They change their behaviors according to their environment but this time it's according to where the money is coming from.

"Mum, dad, come in. This is Alina Zayd, your granddaughter", Rukiya tells them.

They smiled at her and got closer to see the baby who was trying to feed.

"She is beautiful, ma shaa Allah. Just like her mother", her mother-in-law Alina tells her smiling.

While her father-in-law watched her with love in his eyes.

Rukiya knew if she named her after her grandmother, her daughter would be treated like a princess, and that's what she wanted to happen.

But what she doesn't know is that someone is trying to get enough evidence to punish her for what she did to Farha two months ago.

"Are you sure you want to do this? It wouldn't be easy...."

"She was my sister. Blood or not, she was my sister and they took her away from me as if she meant nothing. I am willing to do anything to get justice for her. I am willing to go through the hardest trials that life has to offer to get my niece justice. She and her mother didn't deserve to be treated like that".

All he felt was anger but he knew that he couldn't act in it. He needed to think of a plan to bring them down.

Zayd.

Rukiya.

Alina{his mother}

Atif{his father}.

"I am always with you in this but remember to think about your wife too. She was her best friend and now she didn't even get to see Farha or even Aliya...."

"I know and that's why I will need to plan and execute it without anyone knowing that it is me. Her brother. I am thankful that mum and dad didn't tell them that she owns cooperation that's bigger than theirs. And that she is much richer than them. Because if they would have known, they would have treated her with fake feelings", He says to him.

"In a way that is a blessing in disguise because your parents knew that his parents are somewhat of gold diggers".

In the coming days, Aryan did everything to get justice for his sister and nieces. But one step at a time.

Aliya was the sole owner of the co-operation that was founded by her great-grandparents. But Farha's parents knew the family she married into wasn't going to treat her the way she deserved.

Aryan was the CEO of the entire company even though he knew that one day Aliya will be the one sitting on the chair.

This is for you, Aliya. And this is for you, my sister Farha.

Regrets come aftermath when you realize how wrong you have been. But there's no point in regretting when you are still going to do it again and again.
