"What do you mean by you guys are coming with me? I specifically told you guys that i want to live on my own so why are you guys coming with me? You have a freakishly huge mansion and you want to leave it all and follow me? Khala what are you guys doing?" I asked turning my attention towards khala, waiting for her reply.

"Iman dear we all love you and as much as it's hurts me that i'm loosing my daughter. You've not been the same way with as before with us, you rarely smile and just stay in your room and it's all because of what happened that day. We're all sorry for not thinking about you but we were scared for Alina's life,jamil was a very dangerous man and he would have harmed her if you didn't do what he wanted. I love you so much and as for the properties,i already explained to you the story behind it and now you want to leave this house and be independent and i'm happy for you but please let us all stay with you there for at least a week or so and then we'll leave." Khala pleaded.

Once again they're making me feel guilty.

I'm doing the right thing right?

Yes i definitely am. I need to be strong and make my own decisions, i need to be fearless and brave if i want to continue my dad's legacy and i'll conquer it all inshallah.

I don't think saying NO to them going is really an option right now cause they'll definitely go anyways, seeing as they had already packed their bags.

I sighed glancing at everyone who had a small smile on their face or a sad smile and then my eyes landed on the two devils, my Aunt and Uncle. Oh wow they're still here, I'm so surprised NOT.

I glanced at them and saw two duffle bags infront of them.

Oh no, they're so not coming with me to my parents house.

I don't want them and Azan anywhere near where i live and an inch closer to me.

I hate the trios guts the most right now.

"Khala i really don't want to do this. I seriously want to live alone and i don't want you all to come with me, you're trying to make it difficult for me, making me seem like the bad guy. I know you brought me in and you are the reason i'm not married to that monster and i'm great ful but please let me have my freedom from now on, freedom to pursue my dreams and live happily ever after and all that can happen if i'm independent by myself without anyone's help.

"I know dear. Wallahi i'm not trying to emotionally blackmail you into anything,i'm just requesting something, just let us go with you and we'll be out after one week, i promise you. It's just a request from a mother to her daughter. Think about it please. "Khala pleaded again.

She just said she won't emotionally blackmail me but i feel like she's kind of doing it.

I smiled hesitatingly before speaking. Okay you can all come. I do need help in setting the house. Thank you all." I said looking at everyone who had wide smiles on their faces, khala then hugged me and whispered a 'thank you' My gaze stopped at my so called uncle and aunt again and that's when i remembered my words about the trio not going to my parents house.

I moved away from the hug, looking at khala before speaking up. "But i have a request khala." I said not moving my gaze from my uncle and aunt who now found the tiles floor more amusing to watch.

"Ask anything my dear." Khalu replied instead, making my head whip to the direction, where he's sitting . He smiled warmly at me which i didn't hesitate to return back.

"I don't want Azan, uncle and his wife to come with me. I mean Uncle and Aunt should be in lahore right now considering that's basically where they live and i also didn't want you all to go with me Khalu,i wanted to spend the two months in my parents house alone before i finnaly leave pakistan to start afresh and fulfil my dreams but now you all want to come and stay with me for a week before i settle in and i'm great ful, i know Azan is your son but what he's done to me is unforgivable and he never wanted me so he shouldn't come with us and these devils you're keeping in your house aren't coming with me,i didn't feel comfortable with them staying here but since it isn't my house, i didn't say anything but now that i'll be going back to my home, they can't come and that's final. That's all, I'd like to go now." -Iman.

"Don't treat us like this Iman, we're your parents and we just want to spend some time with you to make up for all the time we lost." My Aunt spoke, her head finally up.

"You've got to be kidding me. You never lost any time with me, you've had me ever since i was four and all you both basically did was torture me physically and mentally every chance you got, so don't speak rubbish about wanting to spend time with me. You're seriously pissing me off again and again by calling me your damn daughter." I spoke harshly.

"Mum she's right. They've given my wife nothing but torture and they don't even deserve to live here. They're heartless people who don't deserve kindness and respect so it'll be best for them to back to where they came from." Azan spoke.

Hearing his voice only made my anger rise even more. I can't stand the mare sight of him, everything about him disgusts me. Hearing him trying to even defend in my favor is turning my anger into rage.

He's just like them but the question is. Who's more worst? Azan or them?

(A/N guys who do you think is more worst)

"Just shut up,i never asked you to back me up or speak on my behalf, you're exactly as heartless as them and incase you're deaf,i said you aren't coming with me so just stay back with them. Can we all just leave now." I said sighing. Azan was staring at me with an expression which almost looked hurtful but who cares? Definitely not me.

***

"What is it?" I asked Alina, who barged in without knocking.

Seriously i need to stop forgetting to lock my door.

Well I'm now in my parents house, it's been three days of me being here and it looked just like i remember. I turned their room to mine so i could be more close to them and it really helps. Everytime i sleep it feels just like the same, i sleep in the middle of the bed, like i always did when i was little. I'd always be in between mum and dad when we sleep, dad will read me a bedtime story to make me sleep while mum caresses my hair. I felt like that now. I'm finnaly with them.

"Chill no need to be aggressive. I feel like we aren't like we used to be anymore." Alina's voice broke my train of thoughts.

"What?" I asked. Clearly i was paying attention to what she was saying.

"You weren't paying attention, were you? You're lost in your thoughts again as usual." She signed before speaking again. " Well i was talking about how we're not close like before, you hardly have a real conversation with me. Look i already apologized Iman, what else do you want me to do? I'll do it,if it means having my best friend and twin back." Alina said with a small smile plastering on her face.

She's making this more complicated. I already accepted her apology didn't i? I just can't see my self getting close like before, I'm just being self cautious.

"Look Alina it-." I started but the ringing of my phone cut me off, making me grunt.

I checked the caller ID to see who it was, only to see it's from an unknown number. I hesitatingly picked up.

"Assalam Alaikum." I heard a deep familiar voice greet.

This voice sounds too familar.

"Walaikumsalam, who's this?" I asked instantly.

"It's me Azan, please don't hang up,i just wanted to check on how you're doing, and um since you don't want me near you, can i atleast call from time to time to check up on you please?"

I knew it. I knew the voice sounded so familiar. How did he get my number.

Is he mad? I should let him call me from time to time.

"How did you get my number Azan?" I asked angrily, glancing at Alina,i see her eyes widened a little at the mention of her brother and she looked away from me.

Ohh i get it now.

"I have my ways Wifey." I could already imagine this idiot smirking.

"Ohh by ways you mean someone right and by that someone you mean Alina,am i right?" I said not moving my gaze from Alina who's eyes were fixated on the bedsheet.

"It's not like that wifey. I-." I cut him off quickly.

Did this scum just refer to me as his wife.

He's seriously gone mad.

"Don't you ever call me Wifey."

"And why is that? I'm not wrong, you are my wife so i don't see anything wrong with me calling you that." He spoke.

"Not for long, I'm counting every single day i have before this helbound marriage ends. Don't ever try to call me again or even come near me,the only time i want to see your face is when we're getting divorced and ooh i can't wait for that day to grace me,so for now don't call me." I spat out and cut the call.

"I never asked you to give your brother,my number,Alina. What the hell is this?"

"I...i'm sorry." She apologized, her head still downward.

"Sorry isn't going to cut it Alina, why did you butt in my business." I said with a sigh.

Why can't she just leave me alone.

"It's not like that, i just want you and my brother back together cause i know that's the only way you'd come back to us and we'll be happy once again, like before and i'll be your only best friend and sister and asides that,i really see how bhai is trying to change because of you, we're all hoping that you'll actually give him a chance and see where it goes, who knows, maybe we'll finnaly be a family again." She finished her speech and this time her eyes were on me.

I should give Azan a chance?.

They we're all hoping?

Why do they expect too much from me? This is literally unfair. I won't give him a chance in any way.

"See i just didn't expect this from you. You're actually asking me to forgive your brother when you know fully well how he was to me,he didn't even regard me as a human being talk more of a wife and now you're asking me to give such person a chance? It's okay, he's your brother anyways,so you'll always side with him. I think you should leave my room,i want to be alone." I said. Trying not to sound angry and snap at her.

Wow, they all still don't care about my feelings. Sorry to say but they're being selfish.

I'm so tired of all this. Why do everything just use me according to their expectations. Can't i be my own person and choose what i want? Is that a bad thing to want?

"I'm sorry if you think that i'm siding with my brother, let's just talk when you've calmed down. Sorry once again." Alina said in a teary tone,it was asif she was about to cry and it was confirmed when i looked at her, who was already tearing up.

She finnaly exited my room and locking the door behind her.

Forgive me for not feeling pity on her tearing up because i know it's another manipulation.

No one ever felt pity on me when i cried so hard for the cruelty i was being put true, instead they rejoiced so why should i be bothered about them, when all they do is show fake affection just to manipulate me in the end.

The ringing of my phone cut my thoughts Short.

It's an unknown number. Can't he just leave me alone.

"What is it again. I thought i to-"

"Woah woah, relax girl. It's me mahreen, Alina gave me your number." I heard Mahreen's voice.

Wow Alina loves sharing my number, but i'm glad it's mahreen.i haven't had the time to see her in a while.

"I'm so sorry,i thought it was someone else." I apologized.

"Hmm. You seriously forgot me, you didn't even bother getting my number and you only visited me once since i gave birth to Ayaan,is that how much i mean to you." Mahreen complained,i could detect that she's hurt from her tone.

I also feel horrible for forgetting all about mahreen but I've just been going true alot as you all know.

"I'm really sorry mahreen. I'm just going true a lot right now, please forgive me, i'll make it up to you and Ayaan by spending the whole day of tomorrow with you and my little muffin." I said.

"It's okay. I heard you moved out of the Qureshi mansion, it's really sad, was hoping you and Azan could work it out, Anyways i'm really excited that you'll be spending tomorrow with me and Ayaan but also the reason i called you was so we could meet up tomorrow, i was going to suggest we talk at a restaurant but since you're spending tomorrow with us, it's better if we talk at my place. It's about something impy, it's really urgent." Mahreen said.

What's so urgent?

"What is it? Is everything alright?" I asked worriedly.

"Yes. Nothing to worry about, it's just something we three need to talk about. " She replied.

I thought it was just me and her?

Did she invite Azan?

"What do you mean by, we three? Who's coming?"

"My sister Meerah." .........
