Zainab:
It's already 12 pm and am hungry all because I hardly eat breakfast I stared at the clock in my small office when will the cranky moody boss allow me to go for lunch since everyone has already gone to the cafeteria and here am waiting for his orders...

Since morning he has been giving me lots of work, there were lots of calls and meetings which I had to fix for him for tomorrow but all in all, he has been moody he hasn't even come out of his office just snapping at me and ordering through calls...doesn't he feel hungry.....ahhh how did I fall.....oh no...realization hit me and I closed my mouth immediately I love him and I have fallen deeply that's why I care for him too much and can't see him hurt no matter what he did I forgave him, he's been ignoring me and it's hurting me deeply...ya Allah what have I gotten myself into?

I have to lock these feelings deep down in my heart and throw the keys away in the lake no one can know there's something about me something dark about y past.

Ya Allah, please forgive me I have feelings but I should have stayed away now things have gone far it's better I stay away from him.

A knock startled me from my thoughts and my smile widened seeing uncle Fawad Zahid's father standing on my doorway with a smile on his face...

"Please come and sit uncle, "I welcomed him and he checked in the environment of my office but surprised to see lots of open files on my table.

"My son has been giving you a hard time?" he asked me in a mischievous tone and I nodded.

I still don't believe he is the same my only uncle who has changed so much and is on my side now...

I heard you calling him some names which suit him he said and we both laughed.

Just then the ringing of the phone snapped us from our laughter and his dad gestured me to pick up his call.

"Yes sir, "I addressed him in a professional way just the way he was treating me since morning and he hates it when I call him sir serves him right.

"Am on my way sir, "I replied to whatever he said until I heard him mutter some curse words and I smiled while my uncle's smile widened he showed me a thumbs up hand.

He disconnected the call and we both laughed.

"We will teach him a lesson dear he will come around I know he likes you and I can see it in your eyes you like him a lot," he told me and I looked away shyly he knew did everyone else knew also but why is it so confusing?

Was everyone else also pairing us? Astagfirullah...

"He has a meeting with someone uncle he has someone else," told him honestly since we shared a strong bond now Alhamdulillah.

"Don't worry we will form a plan," he said but I can't do that if he is happy with someone else then why should we spoil it?

"No uncle let it be, "I told him and he nodded kissing me on the forehead.

"Go to him otherwise he will explode like a volcano," he said and went away while closing the door and telling me to have lunch with Zahid.

Just as I was about to stand up uncle came in again and explained to me more his words calmed me and taught me a lot.

"Dear you have to be confident in this world, you have to learn how to hold your head high and walk, your personality is amazing just be the same way and you will find yourself achieving a lot and if you have any problem am phone call away or you can just text me," he said while tears formed in my eyes he was such an amazing person I needed someone like him to boost my confidence around these people to teach me business and much more.

"Thank you, uncle, so much, "I thanked him and he just shook his head.

"Your like my daughter Rehmat and soon we will sort everything out and live like a family," he said but if they know my scars will they accept me?

He went and I headed towards Zahid's office with files in my hand we still had an hour since now it was already 12.15 pm I also wanted to pray Shur(second prayer of the day).

How will I face him after realizing how much I have fallen for this guy???

I knocked softly o his wooded door which had his name with capital letters in golden writing and I smiled...ahhh these crazy feelings I have to remove them from my mind and heart.

"Come in," his cold voice echoed till outside and I opened the door slightly peeking from the side but I stood rooted on the place my hands were shaking unable to open the door fully.

Zahid was not alone he was with someone else smiling and talking about something it looked like they were having a really good time...I opened the door fully and stood there but none of them noticed me until I cleared my throat.

"Oh it's you, just put the files on the table and go for lunch," he ordered and dismissed me while I stared at him but he didn't even glance back.

"Let's go and have lunch outside we have met after so long," the girl told him and he immediately closed the laptop before they could catch me staring at them I left slowly without making any noise I wiped the tear which flew and rushed to my small office.

"So that's why he was so busy and here I was waiting to have lunch with him?"I thought and asked myself.

It hurts when you realize you love someone and he is with someone else.

He crushed my heart unintentionally why does it hurt so much since it's not his fault he doesn't even know...

I lost appetite I skipped lunch and went to make ablution I opened the prayer mat and laid on floor I prayed your prayer and cried in sujood I aks Allah to guide me to help me to come out of this situation it hurts a lot...

I felt dizziness and just when darkness was about to consume I felt an arm grab my waist and stopped me from falling down my eyes widened I wanted to struggle and remove the idiot strangers hand who touched me but I didn't have any energy left in me and all I could slowly see was darkness.
