Third person p.o.v

" Are you okay? Aamal aunty asked her husband . He looked up , his eyes were bloodshot .

" Do you really think we should be okay ?" He asks her in a heartbreaking manner .

" I let my niece go to those monsters just like that and you are asking," AM I OKAY??" He stood up angrily .

" What should we do , Ahmed ?" His wife got angry , the guilt inside her heart tried to cover it with anger .

" What would you have done if it's not Aamal instead it's Amira " he asked brutally .

" Don't talk about my daughter like that , Astagfirullah never ever does something like that , I would rather die to save her " she blabber emotionally only to realise her last sentence .

" Exactly " they both intensely stared at each other knowing very well that an injustice happened to an innocent girl .

Aamal p.o.v

Alhumdulillah finally I have started praying my fajr prayer , though I always pray fajr but skip most of the time but Alhumdulillah since I came here I am praying all 5 times on time .

Though I felt a sense of shame and sadness, we always worship hard when we need Allah the most merciful but forget in our happy days …. Astagfirullah may Allah guide us all .

It's been a month since that incident. I saw the devil from time to time but Alhumdulillah , just like every maid, didn't exist for him either .

I was cleaning up the counter in the kitchen when I heard Zantina calling me out . " HEY YOU !"

" Yes ma'am " I immediately went to her . My eyes automatically went to the devil who was looking like a handsome man even sitting on the sofa. Anyone can say he stood tall and statuesque. His posture was like that of a model or celebrity .

" Something fell on my shoe to clean it " she raised her leg and kept it on the table .

The moment I heard , my hands automatically clenched into fist .

What the hell does she think of herself ??

I felt like Samiya sensed my rigidness. " Let me clean your shoes " she immediately came to my aid but it didn't make me feel better but worse .

" Stop " Zantina retorted her leg " I think you didn't hear me. I called HER " she pressed the word and I was kinda confused because she never bullied me before.

Nodding my head in assurance to Samiya who looks really concerned, I step ahead . I can see the smirk curling near the side of her mouth .

I don't know why but somewhere in my heart I watched the devil hoping he would stop and not let a maid be treated in a humiliated way but he continued to scroll through his phone .

I clench my jaw, and bite my lower lip trying to keep a straight face .

The humiliation , the helpless I felt of having no power, no respect . My eyes automatically filled with tears , I kneel down as her red pointed shoes shine , just a spot . She could have done it by herself .

Slowly with a shivering hand I wiped the dirt from her shoes " good " she put her leg down " take this " she threw something on my head .

10 dollar

Before I could return or say no Amna ma'am came and snatched it from my hand.

" Thank you for the grace ma'am " I frown at her fake brighting smile .

" Some people lost humanity for money " I couldn't help but murmur .

My heart stopped the moment his fiery eyes met mine .

Did he hear me??

No no… please he didn't ….

I quickly averted my gaze to the floor like it's the most interesting thing in the world .

" Thank You " Amna said again and Zantina waved her hand to dismiss her .

I followed Amna …. " Don't worry it's all yours" somewhere I am disgusted by the way she is staring at the money .

Greedy that's the only word .

" Ouch " I almost yelped in pain , when she twisted my hand behind my back .

" Don't think that I didn't hear you over there , watch your mouth young girl or I will be your worst nightmare " the moment the word escapes her mouth . Something inside my memories triggered .

I am your worst nightmare ….

My knees went weak , She jerked a little and I fell on the floor .

" Uncle , Aunty please save me " I sniffled in fear .

" Si- sir please- please save me " I beg folding my hands .

His face curled up into an evil smirk " Do you really think you can bargain with a pathetic maid??" His dark laughter erupted the whole room .

The dark , evil aura he carry is heavier than the goons in this room .

The moment those words came out I knew I was dead.
