Zainab:
A small smile kept playing on my lips while he drove we were in comfortable silence.

Once I told him everything I felt relieved like huge burden was removed from my shoulder and other responsibilites we both have once confessed our love but are we really ready to take next big step?

Now he knew all about my past every single detail and he din't judge me at all he explained to me to give his parents a chance especially his mom and that's why we are heading towards their place.

Allah forgives so man mistakes of ours then who are we not to forgive our own family members?life is short.

Zahid told me the story of Hamza it really hurt me to know he had gone through so much he told me those were not his biological parents and he was adopted.They later on thought why not use him against his own friend since they had some rivalry in business and now Hamza had left them he was lost and he chose the wrong path but he deserved a second chance.

"Mhhh..Zahid....please just please for once can we forget all past and forgive Hamza remember all good moments since college days all those pranks and all those games you guys played together please give him a chance?"I tried to explain to him to forget everything life is short bestfriends are rare to find and  Hamza needed someone his bestfriend at moment.

"Says the girl who went through so much because of my ex best friend,"he said while focusing straight at road and I just shook my head.

"Life is short Zahid today we are here while someone else is breathing their last day,"I tried again I don't want two best friends to fight because of me.

"Fine girl you and your true points,"he said and that brought smile on my face.

"We have reached,"Zahid's voice made me stare ahead at the expensive mansion which was ahead of us.

"Assalamualeikum where's everyone?"Zahid greeted while he told me to wait outside he wanted to see their reaction.

I asked him since when did he become such gentleman when he opened the door for me  but he just told me to be ready to face this new side of him and I wondered what was he upto now?

"Waleikumsalam,"I heard one by one replying and then there was total silence.

Why was Zahid doing this?aghhh

"I just knew it I knew it she wouldn't come who in her right mind would come to some family members who have hurt her so much since childhood,"Zahid's moms sad and disappointed voice was heard till where I stood and this brought smile on my face so she realized her mistake and I decided to barge in whether Zahid liked it or not.

"Assalamualeikum,"I greeted and scanned my eyes around mansion everything ws same but just that his time everyones eyes were on me and when the realization hit them their smile widened and they all replied me.

"Waleikumsalam,"Rehmat replied and hugged me then uncle then aunt she was crying continuously apologising until she kneeled down next to me.

"Forgive me forgive me I was blinded by anger, jealousy , hatred position to be high in company am so sorry I hurted your parents I called Hamza's family and all the rest awful stuffs happened with you am so sorry am such an evil aunt,"she started rambling while saying all truth.

"I broke my family am not good enough everyone in the family was hurt by my hurtful words by my actions,"she continued and I knelt down next to her.

"Aunty please you are just like my mom to me,"I said and smiled she just stared at me unable to believe what she heard.

"No am nothing like her she was an angel sent into the family while I was always jealous type the evil one,"she started again blaming herself.

"Mom always praised you,"I told her and her eyes widened.

"She said you made her strong and because of you she learnt how to talk and handle herself,"I explained to her but she just sat there in silence and I stared at Zahid Rehmat and their dad they all were smiling and uncle chef gave me thumbs up while wiping a drop of tear.

"I forgive you all.You realized your mistakes but that's all that matters we will forget past behind and focus on future from now on no more tears we will always pray and do taalim, we will be one big family withots of love and happiness,"I told her while hugging her and they all joined us.

"Zahid you agreed to call Hamza,"I reminded him and he was silent.

I hope he hasn't changed his mind I want him to have everything in life.

"Fine the things I do for you,"I heard him say and everyone laughed while he made a call I went to Rehmat.

"So what's up how about you and Zainul,"I asked her but she just smiled and her eyes widened.

"Nothing we are not together I take him as brother and he takes me as sister infact he has proposed to the girl I suggested him am so happy for them,"she said with a smile and I nodded.

"Allah knows best,"I told her and she was smiling.Something was up.

"If not Zainul then whose the one making you smile while he is not present,"I asked her because I can see it in her eyes she has her eyes in someone.

"That's for you to find out keep guessing my dear sis,"she told me without hint.
