Rehmat(Zahid's sister):
"What's wrong with him?If not anyone else, I need to go talk sense into him," I said, wondering how Zainab remained calm after what Zahid had just said.

I know it, and I have seen it. Everyone must have noticed how much Zainab cares and loves Zahid.

Why was Zahid acting like his mother and causing problems for both of them, particularly her?She had a nightmare and had just woken up, but he left without a second thought. Who does that?

"Hey hey, let us not ruin our nights because of other people. Let us have a blast."I tried to encourage her, and she smiled, but her snile did not reach her eyes. I felt sorry for her because she needs someone to confide in rather than ignoring her pain. I will try to be her best friend and cousin going forward, and we will have a close bond. She has always told me that she wanted that bond, and she was acting strong—in fact, she was fragile if you noticed and spent time with her.

We all need to be strong in this world full of mean people.

This reminds me of my highschool days how someone played me around he was intrested and I had feelings he had feelings as well but slowly I realized I told him to ask for my hand in marriage he made excuses...

It hurt alot I knew he was the one I felt it but little did I know he was only flirting I saw him with someone else at school he din't even give any explanations but told me feelings fade and and we can't be together I decided from now on I will wait till Allah sends someone and do it in halal way(permissible way even Zainab knows about it and she has helped me alot.

"Hey hey,"I heard voice calling me and hand waving at me I smiled.

"What's wrong?"she asked me while opening the snacks and drinks which I brough since dad told her to take off from work for some days him and Zahid will handle.

"Let's forget and let's do ablution before maghrib Adhan(call for prayer), It's good to sit on prayer mat five minutes earlier and ask forgiveness and whatever you want from Allah,"she explained to me while standing up and dragging me and  immediately my face lit up hearing adhan and we both sat silently waiting for the time am feeling blessed to have someone like her by my side who is guiding me always to our religion.

Zainab:
Today we pryaed on time maghrib prayer even Rehmat has started to pray all the five obligatory prayers.

"Mhh Zainab since you are in mansion let's go for dinner it will be ready in few minutes we eat after maghrib,"Rehmat suggested and my eyes widened how will her mom react and Zahid is also not in good terms with me it will be so awkward..

"Your mom won't appreciate my presence,"I told her honestly.

"Don't worry,"just then we heard her dad's calm voice always with smile and Rehmat went and hugged him.

"You are like my daughter and a family and am the head of the family so just relax and come and enjoy the dinner,"he said and I nodded.

While heading downstairs I went in kitchen and greeted uncle chef he was surprised to see me in mansion I narrated to him and he wished me  to get better after while other maids greeted as well they were okey with me.

While I stood there near the chairs fodgeting with my fingers with niqab on I was waiting for Zahid's dad to come and sit then I sit I saw the evil aunt glaring at me.

"Wow wow wow look who showed us her presence in the mansion,"she said evily while eating with fork and spoon rice and curry instead of eating with her hands as if she was too clean.

"Mom,"Zahid who just came down looking dressed and handsome as ever Astagfirullah(seek forgiveness) warned her but she just continued.

"What?am stating the fact, don't you think so?she faked it was all drama since she wanted to come back here she fainted and nightmares?she wanted to stay in Rehmat's room,"she said with evil smirk and glared at me.

The one who saved me from falling down on floor and many other times was quietly listening, the one person whom I wanted to trust me and defend me just stared at me with blank expression without any emotion he kept staring at his rolex wrist watch..

"Mom that's not true,"Rehmat tried to support me.

"Enough is enough,"Zahid's dad who was on call came and sat on his place with pure anger on his face he was just staring at his wife and Zahid.

"Dear you have to go for dinner don't you?"she asked Zahid while looking at me and I slowly sat next to Rehmat and she nodded.

"We just cancelled the dinner mom she had some other plans,"Zahid said dryly and Rehmat smiled while looking at me I had even lost my appetite even if he was not going his behaviour towards me was hurting me day by day and how much will I tolerate?

"Oh,"she said with disappointment and Zahid sat next to his dad on chair but none of them spoke we all ate quietly in a comfortable silence.

"Eat dear you have only put rice add some little curry,"Zahid's dad said and Rehmat passed me the curry which ws next to her.

Once we were done I told Rehmat and after alot of convincing Zahid's dad agreed I sleep in my own old room for two days instead of sleeping in mansion.

"Take everything you need from guest room dear,"he said and Rehmat helped me in shifting since it was extremely cold she handed me two blankets.

"See you in morning for breakfast you have off for two more days take rest,"Zahid's dad said and I nodded.

While I was almost inside my room I was about to scream when I saw shadow moving  but someone shut my mouth with his hand and I just stared at person since it was total darkness.

"Wh...who...are you?"I asked my voice stuttering and I was already tired of all drama.

He switched on his phone light and my eyes widened I was still pushed on my door and him infront of me.

I pushed him with all force I had in me until he was stubling back...

"What do you want?why have you come back in my life?how did you know where I live?"my hands were trembling since I touched him tears formed in my eyes due to fear the one person I had tried to forget who had brought alot of worst memories in my life.......
