Zainab:
"Mom please stop it, "Zahid wanted everyone to be calm and stop his mom from saying anything further.

"Well Zainab your so naive and stupid here you thought that from maid to assistant everything was  your hardwork but it was we were all included in this plan especially Zahid also since he could get your signatures without any doubt," she said with an evil smirk while taking the files which I signed and Zahid just stood there not even denying anything his mom was saying.

"Everyone was with me from day one till now," she said and sat on the chair which I sat a few minutes back.

"I know everything even that Zahid was with you from the beginning, "I lied though it hurt hid told me we will solve this one together I couldn't let his mom win so I just said what my heartfelt but he still didn't utter one word.

Just then the door cracked opened and Zahid's dad entered with rage and frown on his face uncle fawad his dad was clearly mad at something he closed the door and locked it.

"What's happening here?" he asked while glancing at every one of us I still feared him since from the beginning he used to snap at me.

"Welcome my dear husband what's our next plan?"  she asked him and my eyes widened she was asking him in front of me and Zahid also stood there.

It hurt to know that Zahid was with them from beginning he never cared nor had feelings; everything was fake it's good he saw me without niqab only once never ever will again. I won't let him in again, he hurt me deeply he broke my trust...while me I had strong feelings for him I cared for him so much.
I wanted him to be happy he saved me so many times he even told me we will solve this together then why wasn't he supporting me and backing out?

"There's no next plan it was all plan of mine to play along with you to know your next move you were one step ahead so far but no more am with Rehmat and Zainab she's my sister's daughter she's just my daughter like Rehmat,"  he completed his speech and my eyes widened in surprise I longed for his fatherly love and here he was explaining everything which brought a smile on my face.

I stared at his wife my evil aunt, her face was worth watching lines formed on her forehead she was frowning full of anger that everyone was ditching her...I still feel like there's something she's hiding behind her hate for me there has to be a reason.

"She can never be like my daughter nor can she create a place for herself in my family and neither in my heart,"  she said with so much hatred till I stepped back her finger still pointed towards me.

"I don't need anyone's support am fine alone Zahid if you are with me you will come to my office now asap," she said and left the room with file.

Uncle Fawad's(Zahid's dad's) eyes were filled with regret and guilt he stared at me.

"Am so sorry but from now am with you and Rehmat as well even if anyone supports us or not we will find an away," he said with wide smile and kissed my forehead how much I missed my parents and longed for my uncle's love surely Allah sets everything slowly accordingly HE knows when it's right time Alhamdulillah.

While Uncle Fawad finished talking to me he left then I glanced towards the only person who was left in the room with me alone, he looked so lost and distant he stared at me with a blank look on his handsome face maybe he was wondering why I said all that.  I knew everything it's been three months since I have been working here and he has always supported me but today he couldn't even defend himself and say something why was he so quiet?

"Say something at least, "I broke the uncomfortable silence and he still stood there clenching and unclenching his fists.

"Mom was right I also did a background check on you and found out some stuff about you," he said and my eyebrows widened I was opening up to him slowly but he had to go and search behind my back about me.

"Why did you lie that you knew everything damnit," he said while banging his hand on the door.

"I have hurt you so much yet you are here supporting me why you doing this?" he asked as if he didn't know the answer I had confessed so many times fine if he wants to hear it again then I will say I will no longer hide my feelings I tried a lot but how can I when we work and stay under the same roof.

"I care for you so much Zahid I like you I know it's wrong but how can I hide my feelings when we work and stay together under the same roof every day, "I confessed and his eyes widened.

"I did all that and still you like me?" he asked as if he didn't believe his own ears.

"Yes it was too late by the time I realized your true colours but I couldn't help my fragile heart it just fell, "I said and I wondered from where I got so much confidence.

"Don't you...also....?"I started the sentence but felt shy all of sudden to ask him more but I couldn't close my big mouth I wanted to know what he felt he once confessed did he still have feelings for me.

"Don't I what?" he asked again.

"Don't you like me?"I asked with hope in my voice but little did I know my heart would be crush into pieces I should have just kept my feelings to myself how did I forget about my dark past and scars how did I forget how can he like a low-class girl like me.

"I have someone else in my mind," he confessed while not meeting my gaze and my eyes were about to tear up but I wiped them before even a tear could roll down my cheek how much more will he hurt me?

"You could have told me before, "I said and he just shook his head in denial.

"What was wrong with him?"I thought to myself why was he crushing my fragile innocent heart that is why it's said to wait till someone Allah sends or wait till someone proposes you.

"You are lying aren't you?"I asked him again not believing he would hurt me like this he never mentioned someone else.

"Can we go back to work and can you finalize my meeting with Stephan& CO limited in the evening," he said in firm voice changing topic and I nodded wiping my tears while he busied himself on laptop.

"One more thing Zainab I want you to book a table at restaurant where we went last time for tonight under my name," he said and I only replied.

"Yes sir, "if he was being professional so will I and let's see for how long?

Zahid:
"So sorry Zainab for hurting you but I had no other option, "I thought to myself and saw her slowly going away her small figure heading towards door and I stared until the door was shut and I closed the laptop frustrated at myself I would never forgive myself for hurting her but I had to make her hate me or else she will be hurt if she stays with me.

Ya Allah, what should I do? I want her safe without being hurt.
