Chapter Thirty-Five

Nazmeera held Zeenat’s hand as she told the lawyer everything that had happened to her when she lived with Talha the affairs and all included.Nazmeera felt her blood boil and she tired calming herself down by telling herself that the law would get Zeenat justice against that vile man.

“I will file the divorce appeal papers today.I have also got the warrant that states that he cannot come with a five mile radius of you and if he does then he can be jailed.” Mr.Ayoob said and the women nodded.

“Thank you.Please do update me on the progress.”

Mr.Ayoob smiled at her,“I surely will.”

He left and Nazmeera sat back down looking at Zeenat’s tense face,“Zeenat it’s all going to work out fine in the end,I refuse to let you be stuck with that idiot.”

Zeenat looked down,tears in her eyes before speaking in a low tone,“Abi will be very angry,Talha might have already informed him.What will……”

“Sir you cannot enter without an appointment.” There was a disturbance from outside and Nazmeera stood up to see what was going on when the office door slammed open and an angry Abi Sufyaan strolled in and he stalked towards Nazmeera.

“How dare you instigate my daughter against her husband you snake?Her marriage is none of your business.”

Usually Nazmeera would have been scared of the man in front of her,she would think of him as her father but at that moment she was only Zeenat’s sister and nothing else.In a tone that was polite yet strict she spoke,careful not to raise her voice.

“That man has hurt my sister,he has cheated on her and he has broken her heart.Perhaps you may stay silent and watch my sister be oppressed but I refuse to turn a blind eye.Remember that along with her being my sister she is also your daughter who’s struggle you have ignored.I have therefore I have taken this step for the benefit of Zeenat’s life.If you cannot stand with her then do not be against her.”

Abi Sufyaan’s face went red with anger as he spared Zeenat a glance,“She is his wife.Whether he hits her or kills her is neither my business nor your business.”

Nazmeera felt her blood oil and she clenched her fingers into fists,“When Zainab(R.A) was married to Zaib Ibn Haarith(R.A) and they were unhappy the Prophet of Allah(S.A.W.) never forced them to stay together.They tried to save their marriage but they were two unhappy people in a marriage that is why they separated.No law in the Shari’at gives a man permission to beat his wife,our Prophet(S.A.W) never did it,non of the Khalifah(R.A) did it and non of the Sahaabah(R.A). No men in Islam is allowed to cheat on his wife,she is his wife not his slave.Your daughter opened your door to Jannah and you cannot relieve her of the tyrant she is going through.What type of father are you Abi Sufyaan!” At the last part Nazmeer’s voice raised by an octave but she did not care.

Abi Sufyaan saw red and he raised his hand ready to smother Nazmeera’s face causing Nazmeera to close her eyes but the blow never came.

“Ibn Abeed!” Nazmeera opened her eyes when she heard him exclaim that and she gasped seeing Hamza holding Abi Sufyaan’s hand,a furious look on his face and he let go off Abi Sufyaan’s arm to stand next to Nazmeera.

“Who are you telling that to Nazmeera?A father who abandoned his daughter?A man who hit his wife?A man who got his daughter married to a man who had caused two of his wives to leave him?"

"Do not interfer..."

Hamzs cut him off,"I will,the woman you almost hit is my wife.As for Zeenat she will divorce Talha and after that she will live at Abi Jameel’s tribe.”

"Abdullah has no right over...."

Hamza's eyes narrowed,"But her grandfather does.I have already spoken to him,he will take her responsibility."

Abi Sufyaan sneered at him,“You have no right to speak in this matter?”

Hamza took a threatening step forward,“Nazmeera is my wife,Zeenat is her sister so yes I do have a right to speak in this matter.I promise you Abi Sufyaan if you try to even lay a finger on either Nazmeera or Zeenat you will have me and my tribe to deal with.I suggest you leave respectfully or else I can have the guards escort you out.”

Abi Sufyaan spared Zeenat with a gaze of fury and would have left if Nazmeera did not stop him.

“Wait.” Abi Sufyaan stopped and he heard the light pitter patter of Nazmeera’s feet before a paper was put in front of him.

“Take this and give it to Talha.This is a warning that will be followed upon if he doesn’t follow what is said.You may be her father but that does not prevent her from getting a divorce.This divorce will take place whether you approve or not and In Sha Allah she will find someone who will cherish and love her way better then he does.”

Abi Sufyaan took it and walked out while Nazmeera rushed to Zeenat who had begun to sob.

“Don’t cry sister.He will come around do not be disappointed.” Zeenat looked up at her tears trailing down her cheeks.

“It is not Abi that I’m worried about it is ummi.What if he does something to her because of me?I won’t be able to forgive myself.” Nazmeera shook her head,looking Zeenat in the eye.

“Your ummi is his cousin and his uncle’s will not spare him if he has to hurt her,so she will be fine.”

“And if he tries anything Abi Jameel’s tribe will always open its doors.” They both looked at Hamza who stood behind Nazmeera who nodded,“Nazmee,why don’t you take the day off?”

Nazmeera shook her head,“Aamanah  is coming.She can take Zeenat out for the day because I have to attend the meeting on finances.”

“But…” Hamza would have argued but Nazmeera shook her head just as the door opened to reveal a tense Aamanah who immediately went to hug Zeenat,she looked at her husband and sister wife.

“I heard Abi Sufyaan came here,he probably wrecked havoc.”

Nazmeera nodded,“Yep he did but we contained it.Take Zeenat out for the day.”

Aamanah looked at Zeenat,"What would you like to do?"

Zeenat shrugged,"Anything to get my mind off this."

Aamanah clapped her hands,“Maybe she can help me choose a few more baby clothing as well as a pram and car seat.” Aamanah pulled her off the chair and after a swift bye left with Zeenat who looked a bit dazed

Nazmeera leaned against the table closing her eyes and then felt a muscular,hard body against her own.She opened her eyes when a rough yet gentle hand caressed her jaw line creeping up to her cheek.

“You okay habibty?” Nazmeera shrugged,looking up at the ceiling.

“I honestly don’t know.I want to protect her so much but I’m afraid that she will not get her justice and that Talha will get away with his crimes.As for my father he will cross many limits in attempt not to let this divorce happen,there has never been a divorce in the Sheikh family of that tribe and I don’t want to start a fight that will bring many corpses out of the closet.”

Nazmeera laid her head on Hamza’s chest and he placed a kiss on her head,holding her close,“Even if those corpses do come out it will only be for the best as for Zeenat getting justice in fact I have requested that Zuhaib himself take this case up.”

Nazmeera pulled back a bit,a small hopeful smile on her face,“What did he say?Did he agree?”

Hamza nodded and Nazmeera squealed throwing her arms around his neck,“Ya Allah Hamza!I love you!You the best!”

Hamza froze,he could have been mistaken for a stone statue and then Nazmeera realized what she had said and she froze as well.She begun to pull away but Hamza’s arms tightened around her and Nazmeera closed her eyes,keeping her forehead in line with his chest.Her heart begun to beat faster and Hamza moved her away slightly so he could take a proper look at her face.

Ya Allah,she thought to herself.What a time to have such an outburst,I’m such an idiot.

“Open your eyes Nazmeera.” Hamza commanded but Nazmeera shook her head,“Open your eyes love.” Nazmeera shook her head once again and Hamza would have poked her side if there was not a knock on the door.

“Ma’am it is time for the meeting.” Nazmeera moved away from Hamza turning to face her table,“Come in and help me sort the files out……You should probably go and get ready for the meeting Hamza.” The door jiggled and Nazmeera realized that it had locked so she cursed turning to make her way to the door when she was pulled against Hamza’s chest.

Her heart begun to race and she went still when his lips were next to her ears,his breath brushing against her scarf material,“This conversation is incomplete,we shall complete it the next time we meet in private.” He kissed her cheek and then walked to the door swinging it open and strolling out.

Nazmeera was flabbergasted and for two minutes she did not even hear her assistant call her.

She had told Hamza she loves him.

She loves him.

But how was she going to confess without it being word vomit.

Ya Allah her grave was dug and she was doomed.

Hamza laid with Aamanah in bed on that Sunday morning,they laid in a comfortable silence.Aamanah listened to Hamza’s heartbeat which was a great lull and she knew she would be asleep once again if she did not move.

“Hamza?”

“Yes Manah?” She moved to lay her arms criss cross across his chest and rested her chin on it,looking him in the face.

“I love you so much.” Hamza smiled at her gently,moving her hair behind her ear.

“I love you too.”

“Mufti Menk is in Zunran.Will you take me after Zuhur for his talk?” Hamza smiled brightly and nodded.

“Of course,I didn’t even know that he was here but now that I do we shall definitely go.Do you know what time it is from?”

Aamanah nodded,“Three o’clock.Why don’t we take Nazmeera with?”

Hamza shook his head think back to what had occurred on the previous Friday,“No it is my last day with you and you only.”

Aamanah frowned,“But…”

“No and that’s it.No arguments.” Aamanah sighed but nodded and then she smiled.She sensed something was up but hey it was not her business to pry in their married life.

“Will take me for lunch to Ameer’s?”

Hamza nodded but frowned,“But will you be able to stomach the food?”

Aamanah caught his reference to her morning sickness,“It’s worth a try plus I feel better and I feel like Ameer’s food will be a great start to no morning sickness.Call it instincts.”

Hamza nodded,“Well if you say so.”

“I do and I want prawns,butter lemon prawns to be exact.” Her mouth salivating at the thought of its mouth-watering smell.

“Now you making me hungry.Let’s have brunch then rather then breakfast.” He closed his eyes but jilted at the slight sting on his chest,looking down at Aamanah who glared at him.

"What?"

"I'm hungry right now as well so you going to make me breakfast before we go for brunch."

Hamza frowned,shaking his head,"I am extremely tired so no I'm not making breakfast I am sorry.My bones are rattled from last nights workout session." He smirked,"You have started to weigh a lot more,I think I hurt my back while doing pushups with you sitting on my back."

Hamza's eyes went wide when he saw Aamanah's eyes fill up with tears and he shook his head to start saying something but she shot right up,her bottom lip quivering.

"So...so you calling me fat?" Aamanah said sniffing and unconsciously put her hand on her still non existent baby bump,"You say...saying our child make...makes me look fat..."

Hamza sat up as well,a guilty look stretched on his face and he shook his head rapidly.Stupid hormones getting him into the dog house.

"No love I never meant that.I was just joking."

Aamanah's eyes went wider and she shifted a bit back from him,"Am I also a joke!Do I look funny?"

Hamza wanted to shoot himself and he shook his head again,"No...no I didn't mean that.I was just joking.You still weigh the same,you just a bit plump."

Hamza shut his eyes closed when he realized what he said and when he opened his eyes he saw Aamanah's head buried in her hands and her body shaking.

"No love," Hamza put his hands on her shoulders and brought her in for a hug,"Manah,habibty please don't cry.I lied,you still look the same.Oh crap!" She had begun to shake more and then he heard the melodious sound of her hidden laughter.

Hamza pulled away with a slight betrayed look when Aamanah looked up at him laughing at his guilt ridden face.

"Ya Allah Hamza....You...You look so...so fun..funny..." Hamza's mouth fell open and he narrowed his eyes ready to reach for her when she hit him in the face with a pillow,taking this as an advantage to get off the bed.

"Aamanah Binti Abdullah you are so going to get it once I catch you!" Hamza shouted getting off the bed and running after Aamanah who had reached the lounge,standing behind the furthest couch,tears streaming down her face.

"Your face...face thoughhhhhh." She squealed pulling the last part running towards the other couch Hamza in tow.

"Oh you think this is funny hey..." Hamza said running around the dinning table into the kitchen behind her,"I'll show you what's really funny once I get my hands on you."

Aamanah stood at the one end of the table opposite Hamza and poked her tongue out at him,"Well it seems like you have gotten a bit slow hey Mr.Hamza."

Hamza narrowed his eyes but then smirked seductively,"You and I both know I'm anything but slow especially with you." Aamanah's mouth fell open in shock and Hamza took that as an opportunity to strike.

With the sleekness of a panther Hamza glided around and wrapped his arms around Aamanah,lifting her so that she sat on the marble counter top.

He smirked at her mischievously before wiggling his fingers across her sides causing Aamanah to shriek and try to jump away,laughter tickling out if her mouth caressing his body in a light,teasing manner.

Hamza tried to lean in for a kiss and please backtrack,focus on 'tried' because Aamanah quickly covered his mouth with her hand.

"No way am I going to kiss you without brushing my teeth and," She smirked at him in hidden triumph,wiggling her eyebrows,"Since you in the kitchen you can cook while I freshen up."

Hamza rolled his eyes as he put his hands under Aamanah's butt and lifted her.This caused Aamanah to yelp quickly wrapping her arms around his neck and her legs around his waist.

"I think we both need to freshen up,I can't bare to do anything before brushing my teeth," Hamza's face scrunched up in disgust,"That's just yuck."

Aamanah chuckled at his expression,laying her head on his shoulder and closed her eyes listening to his breathing.Aamanah moved her one arm so instead her right hand played on the spot where his heart beats were running fast just like her's.Aamanah was quite sure that Hamza could handle her weight which he did.

Hamza brought her into the adjacent bathroom to their room and sat her down on the edge of the bathroom turning to brush his teeth.Aamanah looked at his butt,he had a nice one and it was one of those bubble ones.Aamanah bit her lip as a thought crossed her mind and she stood up to brush her own teeth.

Hamza jumped when he felt a hand spank his ass and he turned to face Aamanah who had an almost cheeky,cheshire grin spread across her face.

Aamanah could nor help but grin when she saw Hamza's ears and cheeks turning bright red.As soon as they were finished Hamza picked Aamanah up once again and this time Aamanah buried her head in the crook of his neck,breathing in the scent that uniquely belonged to Hamza.One that she could easily differentiate against others.

"Sit here,I'll make us some coffee and slice some fruit up." Hamza put her on the counter again and when he turned around she swatted his butt again causing him to turn to face her,going red once again.

"Really Manah?I thought we were done and over this phase!" Hamza exclaimed but Aamanah only chuckled.

"Nope!" She said popping the 'p',"I think I've just fell in love with your bubble butt again so the swatting begins as well.I won't be stopping for a while."

Hamza's eyes went wide open,"Only in private though,right?" Hamza questioned immensely wary of her pending reply.

Aamanah smiled cheekly,"Nooooo...." Hamza's mouth fell open and Aamanah laughed,"Of course not in public."

Hamza sighed in relief,"Shukar." He covered each butt cheek with one hand before turning around and smiling at Aamanah in joy knowing that his precious butt was protected.

Aamanah sat humming to a nasheed tune,watching Hamza move around the kitchen and she could not help but smile in joy.His muscles seem accentuated as he moved about,flexing every second minute and Aamanah was salivating at his naked bare back before her eyes went wide.

Holy kebabs!His back had red lines all over,not visible from a distance but if someone looked closely they would be able to see it and Aamanah thanked Allah for making them live a far away from the ocean.

Aamanah soon jumped off when Hamza asked her to put two plates and to switch on the coffee machine.

They sat down and begun enjoying their much needed meal with a bit of talk in between.

"Damn that was extremely filling." Aamanah said leaning back and Hamza smiled at her contently.

"Well obviously since I made it." Aamanah rolled her eyes at his conceitedness.

"Yeah yeah whatever." Hamza saw right through her annoyance knowing that she loved it more then she let on.

"I say we shower and then go out for the day." Aamanah grinned at him mischievously.

"So we showering?"

Hamza nodded his head,"Of course."

Aamanah leaned forward,her eyes sparkling with unspoken mischief,"We showering you say?"

Hamza rolled his eyes at her,"Yes Aamanah we showering,I said it twice already."

"So we showering together you mean?" Aamanah smirked when he rolled his eyes again.

"Yes we showering toget.....wait who said anything about showering together?" Hamza looked at her all confused and Aamanah giggled sliding off her chair.

"You did." And Hamza thought back to his words before huffing in mock annoyance also getting off his chair.

"Well I meant separate showers but since you mentioned that I wouldn't mind a joint shower,plus we'd be saving water so I'm up for it." He slipped his hands under her legs and back,causing Aamanah to squeal as he carried her off bridal style towards their room.

Two and a half hours later they sat at Ameera's waiting for their food to come and Aamanah leaned her head back,sighing in pleasure.

"I missed this place and it's absolutely wonderful memories." Hamza nodded as he looked around and then pointed to one table.

"Remember when Zuhaib joked about that one girl and him being together so Zuhaiba threw her drink on his lap and stormed out?" Aamanah giggled nodding her head looking at him.

"And Zuhaib thought that would get her to confess that she liked him when all it did was make her leave.Oh and remember when we came here just after we got married.We were at one another's throat and Zuhaiba or Asma joked about the fact if I wasn't married to you I would have married that nerdy guy.I can't remember his name?"

Hamza's face scrunched up in disgust,"Yes I do remember and I also remember Zuhaiba telling us that we should stop our nonsense of not liking one another,move forward and actually try to see if there's maybe at least one thing we like in one another."

"That was a pep talk that we really needed." Aamanah said with a smile remembering how that pep talk actually got them through a rough patch.

Their food was soon placed in front of them and Hamza watched as Aamanah put a pieces of chicken in her mouth followed by another one.

When there were no signs of her vomiting,Aamanah gestured at him to start eating and he dug in.

"Hamzaaaaa." Aamanah squealed at Hamza who looked up at her with an almost shocked expression then looked around to see some patrons looking at them,he blushed lightly looking back at her.

"Yes Aamanah?"

"I don't feel nauseous." Hamza smiled at her happiness and he reached across the table grabbing her han and placing a kiss on her knuckles.

"I'm glad you can finally stop eating ice cream and prawns." He made a face and Aamanah glared at him,throwing a fry at him.

Hamza's mouth fell open as it hit him smack in the middle of his forehead,"That was rude "

"Like what you said wasn't rude?" Hamza rolled his eyes and Aamanah smiled cheekily.

"Keep on rolling your eyes so much and maybe you'll find a brain back there."

Hamza had an offended look on his face and he threw the same fry back at her,"Rude much."

Aamanah giggled as Hamza pouted and crossed his hands,staring out the window only for Aamanah to call a waitress and tell her something.

"Soooo did you find a brain back there?" Aamanah asked biting her lip when Hamza glared at her.

"No I didn't,maybe you need to think for me." Aamanah reached over and pinched his cheeks.

"You so cute when you annoyed." The waitress came and placed a plate of tiramisu cake and Hamza held back a smile.

"Look they brought your favourite cake." Hamza just stared at Aamanah who lost her smile and pouted before taking the fork and breaking a piece.She held it to Hamza's mouth but he did not open his mouth to eat it.

"Hamza take a bite." Hamza averted his eyes and Aamanah reached forward to flick his cheek causing him to look at her.

"Eat please." That's when the scene from Friday flashed in front of his face and he thought of the exact moment when Nazmeera had fed him he closed his eyes and cursed himself.Opening his eyes he bit off the price from the fork,groaning in delight.

"This is so good.Thank you for ordering it." Aamanah smiled as he took the fork and gave her a piece to eat.

"This is really good.I know know what my favourite desert is." Hamza shook his head Aamanah had such a sweet tooth.

"Well my choices are always good." Aamanah nodded.

"That's true.After all you choose me hey." Hamza smirked at her.

"I never choose you my mother did so I think I took after her."

Aamanah gave him an unbelievable look,-You could have refused to marry me and you could have married Fatima." She sneered the name,her eyes narrowing.Hamza held back his laughter but he had to make a jab.

"Yes I should have just done that.In fact we would have made such a beautiful couple and she had an amazing personality." Aamanah tolled her eyes.

"Yes she had such an amazing personality but what you were going to eat?Indian food for the rest of your life?"

Hamza had the audacity to give her an offended look,"Oh please she would have learnt to make Arabian food and Indian food is amazing spices and all." Aamanah caught the pull of his lips and decided to turn the entire game.

"Well then maybe I'd be married to Hussain who had the looks and an even more amazing character." Hamza immediately lost the will to smile and narrowed his eyes.

"And then you'd be stuck in London your entire life." Aamanah smiled and stuck her tongue out at him.

"Not very nice when the tables turned." Hamza smiled at her and sighed,holding her hand.

"I miss this so much.This peace between us and nothing else." Aamanah smiled and tightened her hold on his hand.

"Yeah you right.Its nice to spend sometime away from all the drama."

Hamza nodded,"Have you thought about going back to your job?"

Aamanah nodded her head,"I've worked enough now I want to be able to spend time with my children,you and Nazmeera.Maybe after our child starts school but until then I'm happy being at home.A housewife lifestyle suits me now and I've got everything I need and want now."

Hamza gave her a big smile,bringing her hand to his lips and leaving a kiss.

"Want to walk around the souk before we go for the Mufti Menk gathering?" Aamanah nodded,Hamza called the waitress for the bill.After paying the two of them walked out in the sun,ditching their car they walked around the souk.

The sun smiled down at them and the clouds laughed as the bride poked at her husband only causing him to wrap his arms around her.

Nazmeera sat on the floor,writing slowly taking her time to finish the files before her.She wanted to be busy when Hamza came and she looked up when she saw Zeenat coming out of the room with a smile on her face.

"Where you off to sister?" Zeenat smiled at her elder sister.

"I'm going to Aamanah's apartment since she invited me over until your time with Hamza is finished." Nazmeera frowned standing up.

"You don't have to move," Nazmeera was panicking slightly,"You can stay.I don't mind and I doubt Hamza minds." Zeenat shook her head walking towards her.

"I would prefer being alone with Aamanah then third wheeling with you and your hubby.Anyway you seem to be avoiding him.What's up with that?"

Nazmeera looked away,nervously,"Nothing is going on there but that's off track.You can stay." She had to stay,Zeenat was her shield against Hamza and if she went Nazmeera would have to face Hamza after that horrible confrontation.

"No thanks," Zeenat said snorting,"I prefer not to third wheel so I'll be on my way."

"But what about your clothes?" Zeenat rolled her eyes at her sister in mock annoyance with a smile in her face.

"Aamanah had bought me a few clothing articles so they at her apartment just for this time.I will be fine and I really should get going your hubby will be here soon." Zeenat kissed her cheek and walked out leaving a nervous Nazmeera behind who immediately gathered her files and made her way to her office,closing the door behind her carefully.

Nazmeera placed the files on the table and took a deep breath.Crap!How was she going to face Hamza after that horrible confrontation they had.Gosh if only the floor would open and swallow her.

Well it wasn't horrible,you just told the guy you love him.

Nazmeera rolled her eyes at her conciseness if that even made sense.Her conciseness was practically right but how would she still confront him.

Her phone rang and Nazmeera smiled when she saw that it was Ihsaan calling her.

"Hi Ihsanooo." Nazmeera heard Ihsaan groan and she could just imagine him rolling his eyes at her.

"Don't call me that but its not like you going to listen.Anyway how you doing?" Nazmeera groaned and went to take a seat.

"Nervous,embarrassed I don't know if I can face him."

"Naz you only told him that you love him."

Nazmeera corrected him,"It was word vomit."

"Well yeah it was but now you just have to tell him normally,there's no pressure at all."

Nazmeera snorted,"Yeah no pressure at all my bum.I cannot tell hamza that I love him,I mean you and I both know that when he told me he loves me he took his intense like for me as love.I am so not sure that he loves me."

This time Ihsaan snorted,"He loves yiy that's for sure." He went silent and then he spoke,"Nazmeera he really does love you but his just confused how to show you.I mean you guys need to get to know one another on a personal level.Talk to him.Explain your feelings.Explain your past that made you bitter but also explain to him why it will be hard for you to tell him just how much you love him.He'll understand."

Nazmeera frowned,"Are you sure?"

"Yes I'm damn sure.By the way how's Zeenat doing?"

Nazmeera sighed,"She's pulling herself together and she's trying to bring her life on track.In fact she has applied for jobs around and In Sha Allah she will get the job.Perhaps that will also help her.I have spoken to the person who sells apartments in this building and I asked him if has a bachelor flat for sale.I will buy it for her and she can move in get her own privacy but still be close enough if she ever needs help."

"Ameen to her getting a job and that's really thoughtful of you to want to buy her an apartment.She can also spend her idaat there.Nazmeera?"

"Hmmm?"

"Have you had nightmares since you saw Abi Sufyaan?"

"No they haven't actually.Which is good I assume."

"Obviously its good in fact its great.I guess you found your medication for it." Nazmeera blushed thinking about what kept her nightmares at bay and giggled a bit.

Ihsaan whistled,"Ohhh might I guess how they haven't come as yet?"

"Shhhhh no you can't guess." She felt her cheeks grow hotter.She was not going to tell him that sleeping in Hamza's shirt with his scent over it caused her nightmares to stay at bay.Ihsaan chuckled causing her to groan,"Come on Ihsaan forget it."

"No no no,how can I forget this.This is gold so Nazmeera's habib is keeping her nightmares away seems as if your habib is a knight in shinning armour."

Nazmeera rolled her eyes,"Oh please.You know me,I don't believe in this knight in shinning armour crap.For me its batman." Then she realized what she said and she heard a bunch of awwww's come through.

"So your habib is your batman.What does that make me?"

Nazmeera smiled knowing she was about to cage him,"You superman I guess."

"Yuck girl.You know I'm Thor hey,I ain't fancy walking around with my underwear showing." Nazmeera laughed causing Ihsaan to laugh and then she heard the from door open and her eyes went wide.

"Crap.I got to go.Bye."

"Wait Naz...."

"Bye." She cut the call and quickly grabbed the files,starting on the one she had left when Zeenat had spoken to her.Nazmeera calmed her breath when she heard footsteps come closer to the office door and kept her head down when it opened concentrating on the file in front of her.

Hamza opened the office door to find Nazmeera working on a something and he rolled his eyes.From Friday she had ignored him whenever their paths crossed and he knew her doing work was just a cover up to get out of talking to him.

"Nazy?"

"Hmm?" Hamza sighed walking into the office and standing on the opposite side of the table.

'"Have your eaten?" Nazmeera only nodded her head,not even sparing him a glance.

"What did you eat?"

Hamza hoped that she would raise her head and answer him but was disappointed when she spoke without looking up.

"Food." Hamza rolled his eyes,vetting aggravated.

"No shit sherlock.What type of food?"

Nazmeera heard the slight aggression in his voice and looked up carefully,glancing at him from under her lashes.

"I ate Mac and cheese." Then she looked back down only for the file to be snatched and she gasped looking up at the anger ridden face of Hamza.

"Now that I have your attention.We need to talk." Nazmeera good up,shaking her head.

"We have nothing to talk about and I have work to complete before tomorrow." She would have reached for another file but Hamza was soon pulling her towards him and Nazmeera squealed when she was thrown over his shoulder.Blood rushed to her head and she watched upsidedown as Hamza took furious strides towards the room.

"Hamza let me down."

"No," Nazmeera felt a growl vibrate through his body,"We need to talk without you running away and this is the only way you've left me." Soon they were at the room and Hamza pushed the door close.

Nazmeera squealed once again as she was thrown on the bed and bounced only to have Hamza climb over her.His hands on either side of her face and his legs trapping hers.His face was set on a frown and she shifted nervously under his glare.

"There now you've got nowhere to run and we can talk in peace.Now you going to tell me what you told me on Friday or do I have to use various methods to get it out of you?"

Nazmeera swallowed nervously,looking on the side and then back at Hamza,who's glare had considerably softened.

"Before we get to that.There are somethings you need to know but you can't speak until I'm done." Hamza nodded and Nazmeera took a deep breath.

"Twenty years ago....."

5707 words for this chapter since its extremely delayed and its taken me long to write it.

Jazakallah for 87.2K reads and 6.71K likes,this means the world to me and OMG we were at #4 on Spiritual ❤❤❤❤❤ Jazakallah to all you lovely readers for your unconditional support 😘😘😘😘😘

I forgot to explain the whole part in the previous chapter regarding Aamanah wanting Nazmeera to foster her child.Foster in this case refers to when a woman breastfeeds another woman's child.In Islam when a child is breastfed by another woman he becomes her mahram.Mahram meaning a person who she is under any circumstances will not be able to marry even though in this case Aamanah's child is automatically Nazmeera's mahram because he is her nephew.I just wanted to put a point across to everyone that Aamanah is not the bad guy here neither is Nazmeera.I wanted a chapter that shows just how much Nazmeera means to Aamanah that she willing to let her foster her child.

In previous Arabian times dating back to when Prophet Muhammed (S.A.W.) was born.Children were sent with other women to be fostered and then brought back after a certain age.As we Muslims know Haleema Sadi'ya (R.A.) is Muhammed (S.A.W.)'s foster mother.

In the story Aamanah's child will be fostered by Nazmeera but she will also be fed by Aamanah.

I hope that everything I explained everyone understood.
