Zainab:
Why is Zahid treating me differently?Why has he been avoiding me since that day?

I need answers but I know he will not give me any we had just form a new bond of friendship and here we are already fighting. I don't know what's my fault and what happened at Hamza's house since then he has been keeping alot of distance and the cold shoulder.

I apologised but it was like it din't even matter to him that we weren't talking and not in good terms.

I was trying to concentrate on work he gave me piles of work I was trying alot but all the time my mind drifted to what actually happened.

It's so strange one minute we are all so friendly and next not talking to one another we even sometimes stop talking for months.

A knock starled me from my thoughts and I immediately made myself busy not bothering to look who has come I just welcomed the person.

"Come in,"I said roughly in low voice and din't bother to look up.

"Someone seems so busy,"that very familiar voice which I no longer prefer anywhere near me spoke and my face turned rigid and my throat felt dry.I already have alot of problems why did he have to come now??

"Zahid is in his office,"I told him in a calm voice.

"I have met him and now I wanna talk to you,"he said as if it matters to him so much now just like it did some years ago.

"I am busy finishing the work he gave me,"I said while checking out again for last time if all is okey.

"I asked him and he gave me permission to talk to you,"he said calmly and sat on chair opposite mine.

Who gave the permission to Zahid to let him in my cabin?who gave him the right to make decisions for me?I feel suffocated here and Zahid just let him in without even thinking I will just go and put some sense into that thick head of his.

*****

Finally Hamza left he kept asking forgiveness and another chance I will forgive him but another chance I can't.

Oh!! I just remembered I have to talk to some idiot boss of mine.

Idiot boss?since when did I use such words?astagfirullah!!

I just rushed with files in my hand and I don't care who will be with him in the office all I want is answers.

I opened his office door with a force since I got to know from receptionists that there's no one inside with him I stood there my hands on my hips after I put all papers on his table and waited for him to look up.

His eyes widened when he saw some papers on his table and looked up with a smirk.

"What's your problem?"I asked him while looking straight at him am no longer the shy girl if someone will hurt my feelings and put me down I will demand answers instead of crying off like before.

There was total silence for few minutes and now my anger had reached to the highest boiling point.

"What did you do?"he asked me instead pretending to be the innocent one now this made me look at him again and he made himself busy avoiding me.

Wait I will irritate him until he replies me.This side of me I never knew existed the funny disturbing someone but we all have some sides which we have not shown to anyone.

I knocked on his table.

No reply.

I knocked again.

No reply.

Aghhhhhh......didn't t irritate him?

"What do you want?"he asked while stretching his arms standing up and leaning on table.

"I want answers why did you let Hamza in my cabin?"I asked him finally the question which I wanted to ask since morning.

"Only that?"he asked as if I was always bombarding him with thousands of questions.

"I thought lost lovers wanted to communicate and catch up,"he said the answer I least expected and I just stared at guy infront of me what did he mean by lost lovers and who filled his ears with all this nonsense my eyes are already watery.He just thought somethig which was false in all sense.

"It's not like that,"I said softly and clutched my dress tightly not wanting to break down infront of him again.I don't want him to see how much weak and vulnerable I am and what happened to me.

I just started to stand up for myself to be independent and learn to forget past and be happy but sometimes the past always comes back.

"Oh then may be I heard wrong and my eyes deceived me,"he said casually while sitting and taking sip of water without caring about what he just said.

"What do you mean by all this?"I asked him again unable to hear him saying all these stuffs.

"Who was or let me ask you in good way and in present tense who is Hamza to you?"he asked without looking at me and he turned his back towards me while facing at beautiful view from window.
