This little girl who should cry for ice cream being melting too quickly cries for a 28 years old man kissing someone which apparently is his wife.
I can only tell shit is happening in my life.
A gasp leaves Ziah's lips when she hears her and I worriedly take a look at her to see if she is uncomfortable or maybe crying for her personal video being out but I see blush creeping through her cheeks as she holds my arm.
"I thought the doors where closed? How did she see us? Oh god I am feeing shy" she hides her face in my arms leaving me shocked at her thoughts.
Okay that was not what I was expecting.
"Stay away from my Ziyan!" Irene yells making my poor girl flinch at her loud voice "Excuse me?" Only now Ziah's eyes opens when she hears her and her voice is dangerously low which tells me she is asking that girl to change her words right now or she will do that mercilessly.
"My Ziyan? Excuse me? What shit are you uttering Ms? Who the hell are you?" Ziah gives me a hard glare before standing up.
"I am someone who is very close to him, and I can tell he is just using you for his need now you better get the fuck away from my man you whore before I kill you!" Irene yells on top of her lungs gathering everyone outside attention as they rush in to see the drama, but hearing her my legs react and I quickly stand up to give her some good sense with a slap.
"Astaghfirullah" Ziah mutters at so many bad words that her innocent ears just now witnessed.
"What the actual heck are you speaking darling?" She takes a step closer and when she raises her eyebrow it only angers Irene more who I just want to throw out of this building now.
"Listâ" Irene starts but was cut of by Ziah who interrupts "waitâZiyan? Do you relate to what she is saying? Are you her's may I ask, as she is trying portray you?" I quickly shake my head at this angry Ziah who is actually scary.
Not knowing what to reply, I tell her who she is so Ziah understands better because I have talked about her before.
"She is Max sister" and Ah leaves her lips as she nods "so you are that little not so cute sister of Max" she now understands like a mature girl and does not react by making a drama while cry and making a scene of being called by names.
"Yes so what? Listen youâYou better fuck off from my way because Ziyan is mine only mine, he was mine, he is mine and he will be mine. He loves me and I know he kissed you just to feel the fun, he could have kissed me but I know he didn't want to hurt my feelings so now get out of this room" she starts with bullshit and ends with bullshit and I don't know how to shut her up.
What is wrong with this girl?
"I don't understand why you are being so fired up by the fact that Ziyan had me in his arms, don't tell me you are imagining yourself in his arms because that cannot happen, and who do you think he would be showing love to instead of his wife. I am sorry to break your teen heart but this guy here is married and is so in love with me that it makes me shy sometimes" I roll my eyes till the back of my head when she exaggerates and explains.
"He loves me to the moon and the black, he loves me like Romeo loved his Juliet. Like a husband should love his wife, so Ms how you barged inside just like that turn your heals and leave, because I can hear anything but calling my husband as someone and I cannot tolerate that, so please before I ask the guards to throw you out" still glaring Ziah speaks in a firm voice which shocks everyone present in the room, because she was always meant to be polite and only I knew when it comes to fighting with words no one can won against her.
Irene silently cries as she looks over her shoulder to glare at me and I am regretting even for being friendly with her.
"How can you marry someone else? Knowing that I love you" she questions me with trembling voice and when Ziah mutters "goodness, not with this shit again" I give her a glare for being so pissed and not handling it more decently.
Holding Ziah's wrist I pull her behind me.
"Listen Irene, your my sweetest friend, I like listening to whatever you say and we were friends right and let's try to be only friends because my future is with Ziah who is my wife now. So please try to understand calmly and for now go home with your brother and talk to him, your a big girl now so I am sure you will react like a grown up sweetheart, yes?" I smile at the little girl who smiles back nodding as she wipes her cheeks but my eyes widens when she jumps and hugs me tightly which I do not return and she does not even wait to see if I am returning as she moves away.
"I love you, take care" she mumbles with a pout "take care as well and have your medicines in time hmm?" Nodding her head multiple times she waves at me liking the way I talked to her instead of using some harsh words since I know her teen mind will lead her to do something inappropriate which everyone will regret so I explain it calmly which to my greatest surprise she understands.
"Max I expect you to act like a real brother and not an immature one here, did you get that?" Max wipes his tears which I didn't know he was shedding as he nods.
I know Max is very sensitive when it's about her sister and Irene is not a bad girl she is just spoiled by her brother and so she thinks she will get whatever she wants which is not always possible and I just hope she understood that now.
"My chocolate?" I smile when Irene gives me a glare asking me like it is her right to ask which is, because I have always spoiled her with chocolates.
I walk towards my table where I always store chocolate like a doctor does for kids, picking up two, I slide one inside my pocket which I am sure the grumpy Ziah who is throwing daggers at me will ask while the other I give it to Irene when I reach her who happily takes it.
"So you cannot be mine, but we will be friends right? And if I feel what I felt for you for someone else can I come and tell you?" She innocently ask and I quickly give her a nod "ofcourse you can, even Ziah is their for you if you want to have girls talk"
Shaking her head she again pouts as she speaks "she is rude, I will only tell you" chuckling I nod at her but give a look at Max who clears his throat as he wraps his arms around Irene to walk her out of the building.
"Please come in, all who are peeping inside" After they leave I ask the curious humans to enter "you can take a nice look of my cabin, you don't have to crane your necks now" I calmly tell them but the way I only see my employees acting like press and reporters I feel like firing each and every soul.
"Each one will be tell their name now and Ms Maria you will be noting it down and by tomorrow they should receive the resignation letter, did you get that?" Maria gulps, her eyes jumping from here to their looking equally scared as others.
"Sir- Sir what are you saying please don'tâ" they start but I cut them off quickly "you may leave" tugging my hands in my pants I order them sternly and they look so disappointing but nevertheless leaves.
"Start accepting the job requests people have send and I hope you don't choose people who are interested in drama's more than work, if you do I have to think about replacing you too" she shakes her head quickly before letting out a yes Sir and leaves as quickly as she can.
"Did you even realise you just fired seven people today?" I sigh when I hear Ziah's voice "I do, and I am sure there is more people who will be searching for jobs tomorrow" I roll my eyes feeling annoyed but walk towards her as I pull her closer her by her waist.
"Ziyan maybe firing someone is easy and but them getting a job again is very difficult, don't do that, I don't want them to curse you for kicking their stomach" she speaks quietly as she wraps her arm around my neck to stay close.
"I know but what do you expect from me when they talk bad about you and utter bullshit knowing nothing, I cannot keep such toxic people in my building" I lean forward to kiss her soft cheeks already missing her soft skin against my lips.
"Ziyan?" I hum against her skin but feel her hold tightening on my collar when I press gentle kisses on her neck "what was she talking about? How did she see us?" Her voice stuttering and trembling yet she manages to ask me.
"Forget that, it will only ruin my mood" I whisper near her ear before gently kissing her earlobe as I trace the kisses down her jaw. Her skin is so soft that I am not even able to keep my lips away from her skin.
"Ziyan?" She again calls for me "your phone" and that's when I hear the phone ringing which I was apparently ignoring in the back of my head.
Cupping her cheeks I caress her cheekbone before pressing a long kiss on her lips "I have to get this one, till then eat this chocolate" I place the chocolate bar in her hand before picking up the call which is Eric's and I am sure it is important.
"I'll go out" she waves at me and leaves before I could stop her.
"Yes Eric?" I take a seat to listen to what he is saying "Hey bro, so I found that the camera which was hidden in your room was set recently only a month ago, and all the tapes inside have been deleted just yesterday which means that person is cleverly planning everything, since we still don't know who it is just try to keep Ziah with you, I am sure they wouldn't harm and if Ziah is with you then she is completely safe" I hum nodding feeling bored of hearing the same rubbing again in different angel.
I want them to find out the name but they only utter this rubbish to keep Ziah safe, which as if I don't know or which as if I'll do only if they say me.
After finishing the chocolate I clean my hands on my Abaya before rushing towards the washroom to empty my bladder where I find Zoe setting her hair.
"Hey" I grin when I see her and she smiles back surprised, before I start chatting with her I open the cubicle to first go empty myself.
Goodness when did I drink so much water that my abdomen is paining.
After cleaning myself I walk out to see Zoe still standing out waiting for meâsigns of true friend.
"What's up? I was not even able to you all, We met after a long time and shit is happening which I don't even understand" I roll me eyes as I wash my hand, she chuckles nodding.
"What do you mean by you don't understand?" She asks me as she grabs some tissues "I mean I understand nothing, suddenly people are looking at me as if they saw me yesterday in a stripping club and all of a sudden their attitude changes and they start bowing at me, like seriously what's wrong with these people, they were okay a week ago" I chuckle as I speak as Zoe does the same.
"Well if someone see are boss making out with his employee in an office room anybody will be shocked" I narrow my eyes when I hear her but see her shrugging "what do you mean?" But soon a gasp leaves my lips "Boss was making out with someone, Oh my goodness with whom? She is married right? How can she do that to her husband!" I shake my head as goosebumps crawls through my hand but when I see Zoe laughing while shaking her head I look at her confused, there is nothing to laugh knowing a 40 years old women cheated on her husband, how can she laugh.
I give her a glare but she calms down before grabbing her phone from her purse "I was not talking about our Ex-Boss Mrs Bran but I was talking about our Boss" and with that she shows me something I never expected to see.
"Ya Allah" a gasp leaves my lips when I see myself seated on the desk with Ziyan standing in between my legs as he kisses me so gently and so lovingly that I am blushing really hard. Did everybody see this? Oh my freaking hell.
I blink my wide eyes but gulp when the hot scene plays on the screen "this" I bite my lips nervously when I see my hijab flying to the other corner and when Ziyan pulls me closer my hair hides my face which I am grateful about but my hands are trembling as I see the video which everybody has seen.
Oh my goodness what are they going to think about me.
Now I understand why they were throwing that looks and why Irene jumped over me.
"Zoe, this" a sigh escapes her lips as she nods "yeah It's been viral and I think because of this boss will loose many business opportunities, because I heard two companies are already asking for their shares since they didn't want to work with a person who has no class who uses girls, that is what tag he is getting and I am afraid he might go through lots of loss because of this" she looks genuinely worried and now I am feeling so guilty for even coming to his office that I just want to disappear.
"I'll take my leave now, we are not boss's special hand to get off in working hours like you" she jokes to light up the mood which to me sounds like a mock. I force a smile as I give her a nod.
And soon she leaves me with myself in deep thoughts.
I should have been his support but after marrying him I am only giving him stress, first he had to spend so much on the room because of me, then mamma said he was the one who arranged the venue and everything on our wedding which only made me fall for him more because it was what I wanted he always tried to give me what I want but I never thought about what he wants.
How can I be so selfish? He is now going through lots of stress because of me and what I am doing roaming around, unbothered of anything happening around while sleeping peacefully in my dreamland.
While he is having sleepless nights.
Goodness I feel like I am exaggerating but thats the truth.
I fee my heart clenching as unknown tears escapes my eyes, wiping them away harshly. I walk out to have a serious conversation with Ziyan.
I try looking at the people but only find them looking away as if they are even disgusted to look at me. And such a look is enough to lead someone to the path of suicide and depression.
Sniffing and wiping away my tears harshly I open the door to find Ziyan on a call with his back facing mine.
"Yes Sir, thankyou for understanding" I hear him telling, is someone again taking their partnership because of me?
I bit my lips nervously but blink my healthy tears away.
After thanking the person he cuts the call and turns with a sigh but his eyebrows jumps in confusion when his eyes lands on me.
"Ziah?" Worry can be clearly heard in heard in his voice as he rushes towards me.
"What's wrong sweetheart?" He cups my face to wipe my tears away but I quickly hug him tightly "I am sorry" I need to apologise, I am the root of everything happening here. I hate crying but I don't know why I am feeling so emotional now.
Maybe because the thought of Ziyan loosing what he earned with so much hard work after uncle's death feels so painful to me. He worked hard for years and I cannot ruin it just because now I am his wife.
"Hey calm down" his voice is so smoothing yet it sounds so painful to me "I am sorry" I repeat again and again.
"Shh be quiet" he shushes me up while rubbing my back when a hiccups after hiccups leaves my lips as I start sobbing seeing him being so sweet when I ruined his everything.
"What is wrong baby? Your scaring me" he hugs me tightly and swings from one side to another to calm me down.
"I-I saw the video, I am sorry" I say between my sniffs but hear him sighing as he pulls me to the couch "okay, you saw that footage, but why are you apologising?" he questions me as he makes me rest my head on his shoulder while he holds me safely in his arm.
"Becauseâbecause Zoe said because of me you are loosing all the business men since they are asking you to give their share back and she also said because of that video your company will drown soon" I cry out loud hugging him tightly while I sob like a baby. I know I look like a helpless idiot but I can't help it.
"I am sorry" I sniff snuggling closer but he forces me to pull away so I could look at him "I don't know who spread this rumour but what your friend said was utter bullshit, nobody backed away or nobody is asking any shares and why would they, kissing my wife is not a crime, is it? Even they would have done that, or else how would they be training their son's to become the next CEO now, of course they did some deeds and what if I was showing my love to my wife in the office, there is nothing wrong in that unless I am wasting their money which they clearly know I am not, so my little sweetheart stop using so much of your mind and stop shedding so much tears because It's painful for me to see you crying, come on wipe these tears away now" he cups my cheeks as he wipes my tears with a glare.
But my mind is some where else, why would Zoe lie? Oh waitâI think she just heard the rumours and believed I should go and explain it to her.
"So your company is safe right? Nothing will happen because of that footage right?" I sniff my running nose but see him chuckling as he nods.
"Then who were you thanking when I entered?" I ask him and he squints his eyes confused before replying "it was the presentation which you have to display this week but I ask them if they could keep the meeting a week later and they accepted it so I was thanking them" he explains like I am a baby but I feel some what happy talking to him.
For a second I thought of running away but thank god I came and sorted out with him or else who knows misunderstanding would have risen up and I would have packed my bags to go stay away far from him so he is safe and then few years later he will somehow find me only to find me with his child playing in the garden calling me mammaâOh my goodness, I just now imagined a whole 100 episode of t.v daily soap drama within few seconds in my mind.
Giggling at my thought I hug him tightly "next time you will come and explain it to me what's wrong and then you will cry, you get that" he warns me with a strict voice which I take it as playfully and I giggle nodding.
A sigh escapes him lips as he cuddles me closer "Sweetheart, I have to go out for a little work, I want you to stay here and please don't go any where out hmm? Not even to your friends, just stay inside if you want you can call your friends here, okay?" He tells me quietly and I nod understanding each and every word he is saying.
Leaning forward he gives my lips a gentle kiss before laying me down on the couch as he stands up to leave.
"Take rest till I am back" caressing my hair gently and after placing a kiss on my forehead he walks towards his table to grab some things and my eyes follow each and every moment of what he is doing.
I wave when he looks over his shoulder one last time before leaving, chuckling with an head shake he leaves closing the door behind him.
3:00 pm
Stretching my body limps I stand out waiting for the food I ordered, since I was very very hungry.
"Excuse me?" A man who looks double the size of me calls me out and I take a look at his appearance, he is wearing a black ask and a hat which hides his whole face so I can tell nothing about his appearance on face.
"Yes?" I politely answer, maybe this gentle man needs to know the direction "can you please get inside the car, Sir asked us to bring you to his office" the man tell me politely.
"Sir? You mean Ziyan?" He stares at me for a second and soon nods. "But Ziyan didn't inform me anything" I look at him confused and he quickly speaks "Sir is busy so he asked me to pick you up" yeah he was busy, god so sweet of him to think about me even when he is busy, why is he so lovely.
"Oh but I just now ordered food, it must be on the way" I tell him with an obvious pout forming on my lips.
"Bu Sir is waiting for you Mam" he again politely tells and I nod feeling so upset that I had to cancel the order "Okay" I mumble as he takes me towards and SUV.
"What is your name? I have never seen you before" I ask the build up man as I enter the car "I am john" he closes the door on my face and I gulp when I see a similar men sitting in the driver seat.
"I'll call Ziyan and inform him that I came" I squeeze my fingers nervously but just when I was about to open my phone it was snatched from my hand and the man who is names as john gets in an covers my mouth before I could let out loud scream.
What is happening?
My heart beat raises when I see them taking out an injection in a hurry but I throw my hands and legs while tears stream down my cheeks.
Ziyan, where is he?
"Please leave me!!" I scream on top of my lungs but my breathing dies and I gasp when they harshly inject me with something as my eyes droop close taking me to darkness.
But even in the darkness of being unconscious I feel so scared that my fast heart beat does not die.
