Zainab:
Ahhhh..."what's wrong with the time it's not like usual days it's moving really slow,"I mumbled mostly to myself and thanked Allah only an hour left to go.

You know what Zahid everyone's favourite did?he just confessed then we argued and he left straight to his office adding for me work we were back to square one...Jerk.

Here am busy with work and mind filled with his confession hold on Zainab get a grip he only said he liked  you and worst part he added as friend...so now we were friendzoned while I have crazily fallen already....

Shaytan really came my way since I met Zahid and stupid feelings erupted!!why would highclass Zahid think of being with lowclass me?he's doing all these for his own benefit..I know it...

Again memories flooded just like it happened yesterday all those hurtful words, hurtful actions and all fake promises of Hamza and now he's back for what?to ruin my only friendship?

A clearing of throat starled me from my thoughts and the person I least expected stood on my door way leaning in all his fancy suit Hamza.

I flinched back glad that I wore specs and niqab while in my office why is he at my door?he should go to Zahid if he has work and why me??

I couldn't even look back at him I made myself busy with paper work but he still stood there I could feel it and I avoided his gaze.

Flashback:
"Hey how did you manage to come all the way to my room?"I asked him with confusion since we weren't allowed to meet one another until tonight engagement function.

"I have my ways and I just couldn't wait to see you till night so I sneaked in,"he said in low voice from distance and I smiled shyly.

***End of flashback***
I wiped a drop of tear remembering that memory which once brought a smile on my lips but now I only feel hatred for him I can't even talk to him one word.

"What do you want?"I asked him after a few minutes of silence while holding my papers I wanted to hand them to Zahid before he comes it was alnost time for both of us to leave we usually stayed till everyone left.

"I want to talk to you,"he mumbled and I stopped once I was done with work and took my phone my clutch and holded papers across my chest.

"Look whatever it is it can wait I have to go I have work,"I told him honestly I din't want  to hear his lies nor talk to him he just reminds me how he played me and my family until they couldn't handle and what he did before and after their accident and I feel like he  had hand when  father was bankrupt later on?

"Listen to me once please,"his voice was pleading and for a second I thought I heard sadness in his voice and he had changed but people like him do they even change??

"I don't want to talk to you,"I said roughly in a firm voice.

"You have changed,"he said ignoring my previous comment and I shrugged my shoulers  wondered what he was talking about since he hadn't seen my face yet since years may be personality?may be the way I was replying back?

Sometimes when we answer back people in their own language they think we have changed...wow.

"I need to go,"I said again in very stern voice without looking at him nor nearing him.

"Fine then I will ask Zahid and find way to talk to you,"he said threatening me since Zahid will listen to him they have been bestfriends since college days.

"We are also meeting with my parents and Zahid's,"he said as if he will get an opportunity to talk to me.

"You won't tell anything to Zahid,"I told him while pointing my finger towards him and looking at him straight  in the  eye glaring at him directly I don't know where all the confident came from??

Is that really me??It feels good sometimes to speak for yourself..

"Oh so you haven't told him anything huh?"he asked with a smirk and evil smile so he hadn't changed and here I thought he came to apologise.

"Please leave him alone out of this don't tell Zahid anything,"I siad my voice almost cracking it hurts so much.

"Oww we will see only if you agree to meet me tonight while everyone is present in house for gathering I just want to talk nothing else,"he said but why was he doing this?me and Zahid already had fight and now meeting with him while everyone will be present.

"Then you won't tell anything to Zahid?"I asked him again and he agreed.

"Deal I won't say anything to Zahid,"he said and my eyes widened seeing a very fuming Zahid at my door clenching his fist tightly until his knuckles turned white and he had been staring at Hamza's back how much did he hear??

"What won't you tell me and what's happening here?"he questioned staring at Hamza then me while calming himself down  I looked down immediately.

"Damnit I asked a question din't I?what's happening here?"he asked again stretching every word purposely and I looked at him he looked distant and stressed but with a cold look till I looked away imemdiately while another voice spoke.

"See I told you she's with someone good for nothing,"evil aunt said and smirked at me while smiling just then Hamza turned to face them.

"Mom drop it I asked them a question not you,"he said and my eyes widened this shut his mom mouth and she stared at me may be plotting something else in her mind he has misunderstood the situation I want to shout at him tell him all he's thinking is wrong but nothing comes out from my mouth.

Why wasn't Hamza saying anything.

"I was just coming to give you these files,"I tried to create conversation and why was he angry he just friendzoned me and left me speechless in the conference room and here he acts like someone jealous?what?him and being jealous?Is that sign of jealousy I see?

"Look man there's nothing going on I came to talk to her,"Hamza said too calmly.

"Oh really?"Zahid asked and why was he making things difficult?

"Son I told you she's hiding something,"his mom said I knee it she has been filling his ears with lies.

"Why don't you tell him about the other day when the lights went off and you were with guy outside your room?"she asked me and my eyes widened I stood there unable to form anywords at this sudden news she had seen me and Hamza that was night Hamza had appeared and frightened me.

"What?"Zahid asked in loud voice full of anger and  confusion all over his face.
