. “Allah (God) is with those who have patience.” Quran 2:153
Amira Sultan p.o.v
I laughed , the look on his face was priceless , I pushed past him leaving alone .
I took my abaya and went downstairs to see the arrangements .
" Oomph '' I hissed, jumping on my one knee .
Ibrahim rubbed his knees too , he had an annoyed look on his face .
" Did you swear , you will never walk straight? " he muttered .
I cross my arm smiling sarcastically " same goes to you "
" Are you ready for tonight? " Ibrahim for the first time initiated a conversation to my surprise .
" How do I look? " I said .
" Wrap??" He raised both his eyebrows in confusion .
My smile drop " shut him "
He laughed , I smiled and adored his laugh. This kid has so much baggage at this age. I understand losing parents at a small age reveals to you a cruel world .
"What " he stopped smiling caught off guard .
" You look so-"
" Don't say It ''
" Ado"
" I . Said . Don't-"
" Rable " I completed with a satisfying smile .
He sighs " impossible " mumbling walk away .
" Assalamualaikum " Osman came in front of my view .
" Walekum Assalam " I greeted politely .
" So how's Khalid treating you? " he asked casually .
" Alhamdulillah good " why would I talk about my and my husband's matters to the third person .
It's wrong and sin as well .
" Are you sure? " he looked quite surprised at my answer .
" Yeah why ?"
" Nothing it's just -" he stopped mid .
" Just what " I felt like he wanted to say something .
" Khalid is a hard person to live with '' he shrugged .
I didn't like the way he said " but I am glad , you guys are getting along "
I smiled , just then Khalid entered " what's going on " his tone was quite off , so was his expression .
" Look who is here , my husband the apple of my eye " I circle my hand around his arm, shocking him kind of Osman too .
Osman's eyes lingered on my arm quite long " okay you guys carry on , I will go and see the guest " he nodded leaving us alone .
I was about to remove my hand , but Khalid tightened it and raised one eyebrow .
" Were you trying to make me jealous ??" His face was too close to mine . He is doing it intentionally .
" That's what kids do … I am a legend " I remove my hand much to his disappointment " I make other people jealous getting close to my husband " I wink walking away .
Ohh I love this game .
" Um - not again" I gasp , Khalid stood in front of me with a cocky smile .
" We haven't talked about what you did upstairs " he took a step toward and I stepped back with a smile .
I don't know why but I am enjoying it ..
" I don't know what you are talking about -"
" I have a surprise for you, " he said all of a sudden, taking me off guard .
Just then I noticed he had ear phones in his ear . I am sure his men informed him of something .
" Come " he held my hand taking me. I don't know where .
" Aappii …" I couldn't believe my eyes , Samiya ran my way , I saw Abbu , Zainab Ammi too…
They all came here , did Khalid invite them ??
" Aappii…. " Samiya hugged me tightly , I couldn't believe they were here .
" How are you my Princess? " Abbu raked his hand on my hand lovingly .
" Assalamualaikum abbu " I cried, hugging him like a child .
" Walekum Assalam my child " tears slip from the corner of his eyes .
" I am glad to see you happy, " my step mother said .
All my life , I saw hatred in her eyes but for the first time , I saw something beside hatred I am too scared to acknowledge . I don't think she can ever have a place in her heart for me .
" I hope you all are enjoying …. " Khalid entered .
" Thanks for inviting us, " Zainab chirped, though she didn't even acknowledge my presence .
" Mr. Sultan … Come, I will introduce you to my mother. I suppressed my giggle , he didn't even give a glance to Zainab who was fuming at me…. Hey, what have I done?
He took everyone inside not before turning back to look at me .
" Thank you " I mouthed .
He smiled …. Ah… his breathtaking smile .
Myra p.o.v
" I need to tell Khalid…. Before it's too late " I mumbled . My eyes are searching for him constantly .
I have done a lot of wrong things in life but not anymore . I will tell Khalid everything…
Relief washed over my face … When I saw Khalid back, he was talking to some people .
I walked toward him " kha-" before I could say anything. Someone covered my mouth dragging me. I don't know where .
I struggle in his strong grip " ommp ghnn" I tried to shout but his grip was so tight that I thought my jaws will be crushed at any moment .
He threw me on the bathroom floor , glaring my way .
" Didn't my boss warn you? '' he gritted out yet there was some kind of madness in his eyes .
" I am not scared of you guys " I tried to be brave but I know way too well how cruel these people can get .
He half sat , tilted his head " forgotten your old days hah… "
I closed my eyes remembering my days on those torture cell .
" Fear Allah '' I said bravely . I didn't get scared this man
Slap!
" Ah. " I groaned in pain yet I wasn't scared . If he kills then so be it but I won't disobey my lord anymore .
" That little…. ##### filled your head with ####, didn't she " my blood boil as he hurled abuse on Amira .
" Kill me , but I will not be with you guys anymore " I spat .
" Oh… poor poor Myra " he made a tsk tsk sound .
" We won't kill you '' he pulled out something from back pocket .
Then showed it to me " we will make her go through everything that you went through " . I saw my little sister walking back home from school not knowing that he had been stalked just like I was once .
"Don't you dare " I bare my teeth .
He grabbed my jaw " do as I say or else your little sister will have the same faith as yours" he jerked my face , got up, fixed his suit and went back to dinner .
I cried not knowing what to do , if I won't stop Khalid then they will kill him tonight .
Suddenly I got an idea …
