"Nani ma, please, try to be strong for him, please don't cry, he will be getting over it In Sha Allah, please take care of yourself," she said, caressing her back, Nani ma lifted her head and watched her with tears still running down her face,

"It's been a month Alizeh, he is not responding to anything, he is still the same since I first saw him, he is much worse when he came to me in New York after that incident with his family, I just don't know what to do," she cried, covering her face with her hands, Alizeh stood up from her place and hugged her,

"Please Nani ma, you are his strength, you can make him come back, he will get over it with your help," Alizeh said, eyeing Maaz, who was still in the same position, Nani ma cried over her shoulder for a time,

"What about Areesha? Is there any word from her?" Alizeh asked, Nani ma shook her head and cried harder, "just pray for her, May Allah SWT keep her safe,"

"Come on, Nani ma I bought food for you, you should at least take care of yourself and where are your medicines?" she asked, moving towards the door,

"I don't want to eat anything beta," Nani ma said weakly watching Maaz while wiping tears from her face, "It's important for you and if you don't eat anything, I won't be eating either," Alizeh said,

"Okay, okay, you don't have to do that for me, I am coming, just wait for a while," Nani ma said, getting up from her seat and planted a kiss on Maaz's forehead, she saw his eyes twitch, but he didn't look at her, she let out a harsh breath and slowly walked to Alizeh who was sitting in the corner placing plates on the table and took out boxes from the bag.

"Nani ma, you should not go to the office tomorrow, you look so tired," she said, cutting a piece of lemon chicken and dipping it in a sauce,

"I know, but someone has to be there, I don't do much work, just attend a few meeting with his trusted men in his companies, but my, it's really hard for me to handle all these things, I have been running Jaferi industries since his grandfather died, but it was just a single industry, but now he has expanded this business all over the world, he has set an empire and I have no idea how he runs it smoothly, His assistant is handling all the matters but it is way too much for him as well, I was just going through some financial details of one of his marble industry this morning and it took me a whole day to go through them," Nani ma said, sipping water from the glass,

"Moreover, he doesn't trust many people with his business, so practically there are very few of them who are helping me," she told her, Alizeh smiled,

"Yeah, gaining trust for him is really a hard thing to do, he never trusts anyone that easily and especially when it comes to his business, he is really a smart guy," she commented, Nani ma nodded sadly, they both talked more about Maaz and Areesha during the dinner praying for both of them.

"Nani ma, you should go back home and take some rest, there are his guards outside the room and hospital, doctors and nurses check him in every two hours, no need to be worried about him for now, In Sha Allah he will recover soon, but you should at least take care of yourself," Alizeh said,

"No, Alizeh, You know I can't leave his side, he needs me and I want to be there for him, I will be fine here, there is no need to be worried for my health," Nani ma said with a small smile,

"You will have your dialysis tomorrow, right?" Alizeh asked Nani ma nodded,

"Please don't go to the office tomorrow," Alizeh said again, but Nani ma shook her head, "He has worked really hard to build this empire dear, I don't want him to lose it, I don't want his hard work going in vain, I will do whatever it takes to keep it running like he used to run it," Nani ma said watching Maaz.
