"Wow Mom!" Zee tried to tease Mom but she glared at her in return.
"Crazy girl. You thought I'm saying all of this just for fun? No, I'm not. I'm only trying to make you two understand that marriage is not fairytale, you need to adjust it to your own satisfaction. Marriage is not something that you expect to be sweet and smooth always. Every marriage that you see has their own up and down. No any marriage that's perfect, every body has one or two things to say when they are asked about their marriage life."
"You two have just heard mine, you don't know what any other person is going through too in their marriages."
"Aisha my dear." Mom faced me as she called out my name. "I know, I know that during our period, things are different from now. Not everything that you children of now days can endure with. But can you just hang in there for a while, I'm sure
Ibrahim's POV"Ibrahim" She called out my name softly. "Why.... Were you... Why are you crying?." She asked as she immediately use her hand to wipe away my tears.Have I been crying? I never knew that I was. I've just been thinking of how many trouble she has went through only because of me. I've never and ever made her happy. My mind had flashback to how I've been treating her and may be that's why I have been in tears. But I don't even know that I am."Did I hurt you? Are you hurt somewhere? Please talk to me. Why are you in tears? Did anything happen to you while you're at work? I hope that woman hasn't done anything to you?." She bombarded me with so many questions but I couldn't even answer her, I just keep mum. "Please talk to me Ibrahim. What has happened to you? Why are you crying? Are you in pains or anything?.""No Habiba,
Ibrahim's POVPlease, don't tell me that you don't believe me?.""I do. I seriously do, please believe me.""But your face-""Habiba, do you believe me?." I cut her off, while I asked her. "Ibra-""Answer me, do you?.""Yes Ibrahim, I do believe you but it seems like you don't believe me. I swear to God, Allah is my witness, that's what she told me. And she meant it. What if something bad happens only because you couldn't trust my word? I know you still like her and have faith in her but believe me, that woman isn't someone to be trusted at all. She has been lying to you for all these while, she never liked you or even the child she bear for you. The only thing she's after is her reven
Ibrahim's POVShe wants to ruin me completely; she had said but no, she can't! Not now or ever. I will never and ever give her the chance to or nor will I ever forgive her for what she has done to me and my family. I was such a fool. This is why my parents had asked me not to marry her because she was a fraud. She and her father are both a fraud. They are never to be trusted. I trusted her and she betrayed me, she stabbed me at the back and I won't spare her. "I will call you back in an hour.""Yes sir."Once I hang up the call, I slammed my phone so hard on the table.
Habiba's POV"Ibrahim you're mistaken, believe me, you're mistaken. I haven't done anything. I don't know what you're talking about. I don't know anything about that man. It was all her plan. She planned this for me, she has set me up. I didn't do anything.... She's the one behind it." She said as she point her index finger at me. I vigorously shook my head whilst at the same time, widened my two eyes in shock. "I haven't-" I wanted to defend myself but Ibrahim cut me off. "No! Not a single word from you. Don't you say a word, you need not to. She doesn't deserve it." He said Ashe face me."And you...." His voice trailed off as he face her back. "I'm not a fool.
Habib's POV"What has come over you Balkis? Why are you like this? You aren't like this before, right? Or was this all your plan from the beginning? Did you really not like me at all? What exactly have I done to you to deserve such a treatment from you? I loved you! I cared for you! I did everything that I could to make you happy but in return, you but me. You stabbed me in the back. Where as, you knew that this is not my fault nor my parents fault. Your father caused everything.""It was all his fault. And you know that too, if he hasn't steal that money from my Dad, all that has happened to your family, wouldn't have happened. You all would have been happy. You know that right? Then why did you do this to me? Why do you want to ruin me for something that I haven't done at all?. ""Even when we were in school? How we both met at the r

You stabbed me in the back. Where as, you knew that this is not my fault nor my parents fault. Your father caused everything." My husband said to her, calmly."It was all his fault. And you know that too, if he hasn't steal that money from my Dad, all that has happened to your family, wouldn't have happened. You all would have been happy. You know that right? Then why did you do this to me? Why do you want to ruin me for something that I haven't done at all?. " He added. "Even when we were in school? How we both met at
Habiba's POVI stood there dumbfounded. Is there more to this? Does that means that all the drama that she has been performing from all this while, isn't at all done yet? There's still more to it? But like what? "Before I do something that we will both regret Balkis, leave from here. Now!!!" My husband roared at the end of my sentence. She smirk. "I will leave now my dear husband, I'm not planning to stay.""I'm not your husband." He replied her through gritted teeth. I don't know why, but the idiot me is just happy with the response he has just given her. "I'm not your husband and will never be." His statement made her laugh. Did it sound funny to her? I don't know. "You seem to have forgotten that you're still my husband
Aisha's POVWe were scared to let you know about the past because we thought you would be angry at us for taking you away from your mother.""No Mom, I will never be angry with you. In fact, you had done the right thing by taking me away from her. If I had been with them, may be they would have turn me into the same way they had turn my mother into. Which, I wouldn't like at all. I didn't wish to become like them and you helped me did that. You took good care of me despite what my mother had done to you, you love me, care for me, show me love and everything. For that, I will always be grateful to you mother.""No son, you should be greatful to Subhanahu wata'ala. He is the one who deserve it all. You're my son Adyan and will always be, nothing can change that. I promise you.""And I promise you too Mom, that you will always be my moth
Nine months laterAryan"Arrrgh!!!! Aryan!""Love, what's wrong?." I asked, in a scared tone."Are you seriously asking me what's wrong? Are you that dumb? I'm about to put to bed!" She yelled angrily at me."Huh? Put to bed? Oh my God! What do we do now?.""ARYAN!!! Hospital NOW!!" She yelled again at me."Hospital... Hospital..." I repeated twice before running into our room to take my car key."Maa, can you bring her stuffs later on, we really need to leave.""Okay Aryan, I will do that. Just... Just take care of her.""I will, thank you."I had made my way to the door before realising what I was doing. I immediately turn back and ran to her. "Idiot!" She muttered slapping my shoulder."Sorry... Sorry." I said.I helped
AishaI drag Aryan out before anyone could notice us. Maa and her friend, my mother in law's and my Mom, are still catching a patch.I think, they will get along soon.I can't wait for that.I also invited Khalid over and he's not even here yet. He refused my invitation at first but I had to threaten him. How I became so close.to him within just two months still surprise me.Once we were at a place where no one will see us, I started to question Aryan. "Why didn't you tell me about it?."He knows what I'm talking about- Fatima's charges."Actually, I was planning to tell you but you see.. everything that later happened for the past two weeks got all of my attention. Believe me, I really wanted to tell you about it.""Alright then, I have heard you but......" I said as I trailed off while staring at him with my puppy eyes.
Aryan"So, shall we?." She asked stretching out her hand at me. I looked at it for a while before I gently took it in mine and, we both walk back to the sitting room to finally talk to my mother according to her.As we both sauntered out of the room down straight to the living room, my mind kept wandering from here to there.I do want peace, I've always dreamed of that all this years. I've thought of how to confronted her whenever I meet her again. I've thought of all the questions I would throw at her face. I've thought of how I would scream at her and ask her why she left me.I walk back into the sitting room with Aisha only to find her aseat with my Dad...dDad? And, they were both weeping wrap in each others arm. It been long that I've seen my Dad in tears.But, how did he get here? How did he also get to know about everything that he had to be here too? I turned t
AryanI missed Aisha's smile right now, I really do wants to kiss her a lot. And, I really wanted to see her. I want to hold her in my arms, kiss her and apologise for being an annoying jerk for the past weeks. I couldn't help it, I had a lot on my mind and no matter how hard I tried not to think about the woman who gave birth to me, I just couldn't.Aisha had came back to the house and my life only to get my love and support back but I instead, didn't give her any of that... Instead, I was giving her a cold shoulder.The following day, our families came over to meet her, including, Rukkayya. They are all happy to see her. Especially Zainab, she wouldn't leave Aisha for a second, she left my house only this morning since two weeks ago.Everyone misses her. Adyan, he has started to change towards me too but not entirely. I can now understand him though. I know how it felt when the woman you lov
AishaI started. "The woman from earlier, she's your biological mother right?." I asked him softly, I watched his eyes seeming to get darker. Like, it was feel with hatred, he stood up from his seat and walk past me.I took in a deep breathe and wish my husband could just share his worries with me."She's the woman who gave birth to me." He started. My eyes slowly widen but quickly mask it off. What is eevn wrong with me? I should have known already. I have been told already but, I just want to be sure of what I had heard. I slowly turn to him but found his back facing me."That's it, that's all that she's to me, she doesn't deserve the word 'mother' I made a mistake calling her Mom a while ago because she's not worthy of it." I could sense the bitterness in his voice. My poor husband.I quickly walk up to him and brought him in a tight embrace. I could feel his arms tighte
He looked at his phone strangely for a while. He tried dialing the number back but the same person that calls him was not picking up, later on, it says, it's not reachable."Is it possible that this person is playing a prank on me?." He thought."But again, that can't be the case because, it been months already and, I've never receive a call like this." He thought again. He immediately stand up, pick up his phone and wallet into his pocket and walk out of his office.•"So, what did he say?." Mrs Maryam asked her."Actually, I didn't wait for him to say anything. I only told him to go to his house of he wanted to see his wife and hang up the call.""Aisha,don't you think you're too hard on him?.""No ma." She replied while smiling."So, are we leaving now? Have you park all of your clothes?.""Yes ma, I have. Even though, it still fell st
AryanOn his way going to her house, his cell phone started to ring. At first, he didn't want to pick the call but decided to check who it was.May be, it's his in-law.He brought out his phone from his pocket and saw Rukkayya's name popped on the screen.He slide to answer the call."Hello...""Aryan, we need to talk! A serious one! Don't tell me... Wait, I don't want to believe this, don't tell me that you owned that company my husband was working at? I mean, the place he's working presently, please, tell me that you're not the CEO of that company?.""Rukkayya, that's not the case for now. Something huge.... Aisha... Aisha is... Aisha is-""Aryan please, talk to me already, you're scaring me. Aisha is what?.""She's missing. I can't find her.""Wait, what?!!""Yes Rukkayy
AryanI was so happy when I heard from Rukkayya that she's Aisha's sister. At least, I feel delighted. She now have a family of her own. Not that I didn't consider her foster family as hers but, what's not your can never be yours even if they showed her all the care and love.I made a promise to myself to respect Rukkayya and support her in every way that I could. Few minutes later, she received a call and I'm sure that it's from Malik, she told me she have to leave and I should make sure, I take good care of Aisha. Of course, not leaving the part of threatening me.It now looks strange as I'm now scared of Rukkayya. Her threat only could make one faint.It's still strange though.May be, it's because of the news I just heard from her.I made some few calls and employ two maids to take care of Aisha, I had to leave there, I do
HajaraI am very mad right now. I called that foolish old man and he had the gut to be telling me that there's no way out already. Aryan can never be mine... Not now or ever.He said, I shouldn't have tried to separate him from Aisha. Like seriously? That also his fault too. He shouldn't have done the stupid thing he did for me when he knows that it won't work.I hate him for that.For now, I don't have his time, I will only deal with him later on.One of my boys told me that Aisha has been rushed to the hospital. Don't blame me, I've paid them to keep a watch on her, I was very much please with the news not until he told me that, Aryan is also there already.I rushed there, thank goodness Zulaiha has a friend as a medical doctor there, luckily for me, she also hates Aisha...Why?Because the idiot is also in love with my Arya
