Even Kareemah was surprised and so was Mufeedah too"Khalid I'm sorry" he begged not breaking the eye contact with him. He knows he has wrong them,even though it was Kareem he wronged,he couldn't still deny the fact that Khalid was also affected too,they were all friends right from their kids and he ruined everything. Inwardly, Mansur just couldn't stop blaming himself"Just tell me exactly what you're doing here Mansur " Khalid inquired again"I'm here to confess""What confession do you intend to make?"

" Kareem screamed as he ran fastly towards where she was lying down,Mansur and the rest also did the same thing while Maryam stood there like a robot,she couldn't move her hand nor her legs "did she just take the bullet for me? Did she just saved me?" Maryam thought"Now Khalid! We need to take her to the hospital, she's still breathing, now!" Kareem said to them,he saw Mansur looking panic too. He wanted to punch him,talk to him,ask him so many questions but now isn't the right time for thatHe stood up and move closer to his wife "are you OK?""Kareem she..she saved me,she did save me" she panicky said"I know""Will she be fine?

Three Years Earlier PrologueMaryamI stopped right in front of his room and took in a deep breath before placing my trembling hand on the door knob.Earlier, I had seen him and his friends comes into this room, and that's why I'm bringing them this refreshment. I just hope he won't pour it to my face- well, I should be used to it by now. It's already been two weeks of our marriage.As I was ready to face his wrath that will definitely comes my way, I slowly and gently open the door but what I saw next really crushed my heart.... That's a video of me and my husband making love."But ho... how?.... How did that... How was he able to record that? An... and, why is he watching the video with his friends?." I a
Maryam's POV"This is the baker you would like to meet Mr Abdulazeez " Ma'am said.Seriously! What would you do when you see the most hated man of your life again? What would you do when you thought there was no way that he could ever exist again. There he was standing right next to you like a ghost who had just come back to life from where he was buried years ago.I blinked my eyes again.No, this can't be happening! This can't be happening to me!"It's nice to meet you Miss Maryam". He said, he wasn't even looking surprise to see me. He looked like he knew I would be here already. He stretch out his hand but I don't know if I should take it or not."Maryam, you're not affected " My subconscious tell me.I clasped my palm with his but I didn't say anything. After that, I tried to excuse my self from there but Ma'am voice stopped me. "Where do you think
Maryam's POV"I had no other option Maryam, Mom is sick".Mom is sick? Mom is sick? For how long? I do asked of them from my family and they always assured me, they are all doing fine. Could they be lying?"Mom...mom is sick?". I asked not able to control my mouth and emotions. I loved Mom a lot. She has shown me nothing but true love. She had always treated me like a daughter, I can't bear it if anything happens to her."Yes Maryam, Mom is sick. Ever since you had left, she isn't her self anymore. She got her heart attack back again and she was very ill, she was hospitalized for about 4 weeks and when her condition was getting better, she was discharged and her treatment is been given to her at home"."How sure am I that you're not lying? May be you're just saying this just to make me come home with you". I glared at him."I can't lie with such a thing with you. Though, I rea
Maryam's POVI walked into the house and saw everywhere so quiet. I tried to walk towards mom's room when I heard Kareemah's voice "Maryam, is that you?"I turned slowly and she wide her eyes. "it's really you! Oh my God! It's you! You came back to us!". She squealed as she hug me tightly.I hug her back and we both stayed there for about five minute. I really missed her a lot."I'm sorry, I'm sorry that I left without letting any of you know...I'm truly sorry". I said as we break the hug."You don't have to dear,we heard everything that happened from your husband. If I were you, I'll also do the same""Thank you...for understanding""Where's Mom? ""Oh! In her room... Let go". She clasped both of our palm together as we walk toward mom's room.We entered and saw her sleeping figure,we decide to walk slowly not to wake h
Maryam's POV"HOW DARE YOU KISSED ME YOU MORON!!" I wanted to shout at him yet no word came out from my mouth,the tickly sensation seem to remain in my cheek.In a blink of an eye, he was back at the other side of the table and sat on his chair like he didn't do anything wrong. This was the hardest breakfast I will ever have in my entire life,not that the food is bad but the jerk sitting across me who was eyeing like a glue is the problem."Son,I thought you wouldn't be coming home until next two week?". Dad asked him.Kareem who was still looking at me answered as he answered " I'm taking a vacation,I'll be spending two week with you all". He said looking at me as he said those words.Mom giggled. "Alhamdulillah, finally you're taking a vacation""Well, I thought you're going to work your self to death". Kareemah said mockingly."You're righ
