.

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 .

" 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 ...
