Mistreatment Continues.

It has been a few months since everything happened to Farha, but she had to endure it for her unborn child.

The baby in her womb was her happiness. She couldn't find happiness in her husband, who hadn't even cared to ask how she was or if she needed something.

The only person who was there for her was her nanny.

She was the one who had raised her when she used to live with her parents, and Farha had offered to come with her to her husband's home.

Nanny Lea has always been there for Farha as her mentor, her guardian, and her adviser.

"Are you alright, my dear child?" Nanny Lea asks her when she sees how Farha isn't even reacting to what she sees in front of her.

Rukiya and Zayd were in an embrace after coming from the hospital.

"I am fine, Nanny. I promise you. The only thing I feel is emptiness when I see them together. Plus, I don't need them. I have you, my baby, and my brother, who doesn't like being called that", Farha says to her Nanny while looking at the two people who betrayed her. "I wish I had listened to my parents before they died. Maybe I would have been happy and loved by someone else," she added, walking away from the room.

Farha knew that whatever her marriage meant was gone. All the feelings and happiness she felt disappeared the day Zayd chose Rukiya over her.

The day that Rukiya threw hot water on her because it wasn't boiling while Zayd watched from a distance

"My dear, you can't just give up..."

"Nanny, I have to because I chose to be happy with what I have now. And maybe some day I will be able to leave this place with my baby and never look back. Plus, I will need you to look after my baby if anything happens to me. Promise me that you will always protect her, and when the time comes, give her the diaries that are under my bed. I know that you will love and care for her..."

"Farha, don't say that. You will be there for your baby. And you will give her all the happiness, love, and care she deserves to have," Nanny Lea tries to assure her.

But Farha knew better because of the way that Rukiya had been treating her.

The hatred that Rukiya had was something that Farha had no idea about when it started happening. All she knows is that protecting her unborn baby is always going to be her priority, no matter what happens to her.

In the coming days, Farha needed to go to the hospital for her check-up, but unfortunately, Zayd didn't even care when she told him about it.

"Nanny, could you come with me to the hospital for my check-up?" Farha asks her nanny, who immediately says yes to her request.

The love that Nanny Lea had for Farha was the same love that a mother has for her children.

Nanny Lea has been working for Farha's parents even before she was born. She is a convert who started to love Islam and everything that it brings.

The peace and tranquillity

"I would love to, my dear. We can ask the driver..."

"Nanny, no, we don't need to do that. We will go by bus and come back the same way", Farha tells her, knowing that every maid in the house was told not to help her in any way.

They were threatened by Rukiya that if they were to help her, they would be fired.

Farha didn't want them to lose their jobs because of her.

"Are you sure, my dear? You could always ask..."

"I am sure, Nanny. Besides, he might be busy with work and the meetings at the office," Farha tells her Nanny.

They arrived at the bus station and waited for the bus to arrive.

It had been almost half an hour when it finally arrived. Nanny held Farha's hand, supporting her so that the other passengers wouldn't push her. Then they paid for their seats.

"You know that he will gladly help you. Just a call from you, and he will come rushing to you, not caring about any work."

"I know that, Nanny. That's why I don't want to call him."

Farha didn't even finish what she was saying when her phone rang, indicating that he was calling.

Farha looked at Nanny Lea and showed her the phone screen, which showed his number on it.

"Asalam Aleikum...."

"Waleikum Salaam. How come you are on the bus with Nanny? Before you ask how I know, I saw you two getting in. You know that you could have just called me."

"I know that, but I didn't want to disturb your work, and I know that there are so many projects that need your attention. Besides, what's wrong with traveling on a public bus?" Farha asks him.

"Farha, we are family. Mom and dad entrusted me to look after you, and I can't let them down. I am on my way to the hospital, and no, you can't tell me not to come there. I also want to know the gender of your baby," he says, hanging up without giving Farha a choice to tell him no.

"I told you so, my dear. Now prepare for him to scold you as usual," Nanny says, laughing, knowing that he was going to do exactly that when they saw each other.

Farha just shook her head, knowing that he had taken the job of the overprotective brother very seriously.

Alhamdullilah, I have him in my life. He will be able to teach my baby everything that she or he will need to learn from his or her father. He will be her perfect father figure.

"We are here, my dear," Nanny tells her. As they got off the bus, he had already parked the car and was waiting for them at the entrance of the hospital.

Fortunately for them, the bus had dropped them at the entrance of the hospital.

"You know that you didn't have to wait for us."

"Yes, I do. End of story. Now come on, we need to get Prince or Princess checked out," he says, leading the two women inside the hospital.

Even though he had to wear a disguise so that no one would recognize him because of who he was.

But what they don't know is that Rukiya sent someone to spy on Farha and is currently taking pictures and sending them to her.

"Finally, I can get rid of you for good. The abuse wasn't working; I knew that I would need something more than that, and here it is. Now to wait until you come back so that he can throw you out himself," Rukiya tells herself while looking at the pictures that were sent by the spy.

But she knew that she needed to make them believable so that Zayd would do what she wanted from the beginning.

After editing them the way that Rukiya wants them to be. After she was done, she printed them in the office and placed them in the envelope.

Meanwhile, at the hospital, Farha, Nanny, and he had received great news about the baby.

It is a girl.

Farha had already decided to name her Aliya in honour of someone dear to him.

"Thank you for being here. And for always looking out for me in the shadows, even though you could have just revealed your identity to mine. You will always be my older brother, Aryan."

"I know that, but don't forget that I am..."

"Don't even say that word. I hate it. You are and will always be my brother. Blood doesn't define us, and it will never," Farha says to him.

Nanny looked at them with a huge smile on her face, knowing that someday he would be a great help to Aliya when she needed it.

But what they don't know is that something bad is about to happen as soon as they step into the house.

As soon as they stepped inside, Rukiya and Zayd were waiting for them, even though Farha was told to take the servants' entrance when going and entering the house.

"Ma'am, you are called to the living room", one of the maids tells her.

This surprised Farha because she had never been called since that day when Rukiya arrived, which was almost 8 months ago.

"Okay, I will be right there," she answered while heading to the living room.

Before she could even react, Zayd slapped her, making her fall. Fortunately, she didn't fall on her stomach.

"This is how you repay me. By meeting men while pretending to go to the hospital. I wanted to throw you out of this house, but my parents didn't want a scandal to happen, which is why I let you stay here. Now I don't even believe that the baby you are carrying is mine," Zayd yells at her.

Farha felt a sharp pain in her heart when he said those words about her daughter. But she didn't even make a sound and just looked at Rukiya, who was smirking as if she had won.

"When that child is born, I want a DNA test to be done immediately. And if it isn't mine, you will leave this house without anything."

Farha just looked at Zayd and thought of the person he was when she first met him.

The love, care, and every type of feeling were gone the minute that he had doubts about her daughter.

"Are you listening to me? You will pay for what you have done. Now I have to make sure that the press doesn't find out about your indiscretion. And pray that no reporter was there," he added before leaving the room.

As soon as he left, Rukiya walked toward Farha.

"I warned you that I would take everything from you. And I have done it," she says with a smug look on her face.

"Yes, you did. But you forgot one thing, and that is that Allah is the only one who can give me happiness. True happiness that I will never get from this place," Farha answers her. "One more thing: there's always Kifrah, dear Rukiya. Always remember that what goes around comes around," she added, leaving Rukiya angrier than she was before.

Farha then walked out of the living room, holding her head high and trying not to cry in front of Rukiya.

As soon as she reached her room, Farha broke down in tears while caressing her stomach. She could only think of her daughter.

"My dear Farha. Let it all out," Nanny tells her while hugging her. Nanny knew that Farha needed her parents, but unfortunately, they passed away two years after she got married.

"I am not crying because of the slap, Nanny. I am crying because of the words that Zayd said to me about our daughter. I should have listened to my parents and married someone else."

"Shh, my dear. Everything happens for a reason. Why don't you rest, and I will bring you some warm milk to calm you down?" Nanny tells her.

Farha nodded, and Nanny Lea got up from the bed and walked out of the room to get the glass of warm milk for her.

Farha waited until Nanny left when she dialled Aryan's number and then explained what she wanted to be done.

"I need this Aryan. This is the only way to keep her safe from vultures like Zayd and Rukiya. I trust my dear brother to help her achieve her dreams and to turn them into a reality".

"I will do exactly that. You don't have to worry now. Rest, and I will call you later".

This is for the best. Whatever happens to me, I want my daughter to be safe and protected, and there's no one I can trust other than my brother.

Thank you, brother.
