Mufida had a very nice sleep after she was discharged. This time around when she passed out, and regained back consciousness she was okay and conversing with everyone like never before like nothing happened.

The exposure therapy was successful.

Hisham recommended for her to go on leave but Hadiza suggested it as a bad idea. She needs to be active and very social in order for her to forget about the incident and focus more on the future.

The whole family were ecstatic about the news, as Eid is approaching the whole family of Danbatta will be present in their family house which is located in garki. Different relations will visit and have lunch together on the second day of Eid, it will also be of help to make Mufida more active.

"Please stay here for a few more days."Mufida pleaded with Raheenah with a pout.

"I wish I can Mufida, but you know who."Raheenah ended pointing at Ridwan with her left eye and Mufida giggled softly.

"Okay, then but next time you're coming bring Batoul with you."

"You love her more than me, but it's okay my time will come very soon."Raheenah threw her jealous tantrums with an eye roll.

"Warrever lemme walk you out I also need some fresh air, this fasting is draining all my energy."Mufida complained rolling her black veil over her head and picked up her phone.

"Who ask you to fast ? The doctor said you should take some rest."

"I'm totally fine, and I can handle it just few more hours to go."Mufida glanced at her screen.

"Are you ready to go?"Ridwan chimed in, shamelessly placing his arms on Raheenah's waist.

Mufida rolled her eyes at him and said. "Su Ya Ridwan masu mata."

Ridwan rolled his eyes back at her and replied. "Eh kema in kinji haushi kije kiyi auren."

Mufida stared at him, jaw dropped. "Heenah, kinji shi koh. You heard him right?"

"Yes, and He is right, think about it."Raheenah winked at Mufida before leaving with Ridwan following suit.

Mufida shook her head and watched their car pulling out of the building. Sighed, and sprawled herself on the swing beside their garden, enjoying the breeze of the comforting environment Mufida rummaged through her WhatsApp status, laughing at memes and funny videos before a call from Laiba interrupted her.

Grinning from ear to ear, she tapped the accept button and was welcomed by Laiba's annoying and lousy voice. She couldn't help but remove the phone from her ear for some time before placing it back.

"I miss you so much Mufida, I can't wait to see, and batoul too."Laiba blabbered continuously making Mufida to roll her eyes heavenward.

"I don't miss you even a little bit, Ruhainah told me that you're always at her house, don't you get tired."Mufida teased with a light chuckle.

"I swear Ruhainah is such a snitch, anyways I'm at home now, getting ready for a wrestling match with my tailor."Laiba said in a serious note, Mufida couldn't help but laugh it off.

"A wrestling match, with your tailor ?"Mufida questioned amidst laughter.

"Yep, I need my Eid clothes before next week and that guy is not picking up my phone thank god I know his shop, he should better get done with it if not wallah I won't spare him."Laiba ranted.

"I pity that guy sef, because you're scary."Mufida teased and Laiba rolled her eyes.

"Yeah yeah warrever. I should get going now, see you soon."Laiba ended the call and as if Haidar knew she was free he was right before her clad in an Ash caftan with no cap.

He looked cute, without the cap; Mufida mused checking him out.

"Hey."He waved and she isn't planning on replying him, she just stopped swinging as her own way of offering him a sit. Haidar flashed her a small smile before settling himself on the swing beside her, leaving a reasonable amount of space between them.

Just because she is talking to him now, and not giving him attitude doesn't mean he is allowed to do whatever he wants.

"You never told me you've a twin brother."Mufida said breaking the awkward silence.

"It was never that important."Haidar replied curtly. That's not the type of answer she was expecting from him, she had expected a very reasonable answer but that's doesn't mean she will let him know that she was tiny bit hurt by his reply.

It is what it is.

Haidar hesitated for a while before moving his lip to say something but he couldn't utter a word, he suddenly became nervous. He really didn't want Mufida to shut him down as always, he want to clear out all the misunderstandings between them. That way maybe she will be able to stop blaming him for everything.

"I'm sorry."Haidar whispered but loud enough for Mufida to hear him, looking down as if talking to himself, he added. "It really wasn't my intention to leave you, I had no other option."

Mufida looked briefly at him, trying to figure out something whether he was saying the truth or not. But then, his eyes locked with hers, and she looked away before she goes weak. Even though it was just for a second, she noticed something in his eyes;

He was being sincere.

"I was hurt."Mufida confessed her eyes watery. "I was deeply hurt when you left, and your message shattered me and broke my heart Haidar."She sniffed finally able to look him in the eye.

"If you will just listen to me, I'll tell you everything."Haidar pleaded nervously. Mufida gave him a slight nod as a go ahead to say whatever that was on his mind.

"I didn't leave for Cyprus intentionally I was threatened and also forced to leave. I agree it was my fault that I didn't get to pick you up early that day but my father had called me up to his office, I had no other choice but to tend to his work. When I was already done with his work, it was late so I just went back home thinking that you were also at home, I never knew that you were molested. And when I found out about the news before I could even get to you Muhammad came to me early in the morning, and showed me a video."Haidar gulped shutting his eyes for some time. Mufida quickly looked at him curiosity taking the best of her.

"What video?"

"It's not that important forget about."Haidar refused to tell her about it, not wanting to argue further about the matter Mufida nodded her head, reminding her inner self to ask him about it when he is done with his story.

"I didn't want that video to get leaked out to the public, so I just followed his orders and left for Cyprus. I had no idea he sent that message to me believe me I'm saying the truth, he deleted the message immediately he sent it."

"How did he get a hold of your phone ?"Mufida asked, it's not like she don't believe him, she really do, but she had to ask that question.

"After I've agreed to leave for Cyprus, I also asked him to delete the video and end the matter. He deleted the video, when I saw his phone I was surprised he has the same brand as mine, the pouch and everything. I didn't get to understand why he had the same phone as mine until after I've reached Cyprus he had my phone swapped with his, I've no idea how he did it but he managed to pull it off."

"Thank you for not letting the video get leaked out, thank you so much for that Haidar, but nothing is going to go back the way it was between us. Whenever I move on in life, I move on for good."

The way she spoke, the words were also deeply hurting her, as much as the words were hurting her, she had no other choice but to make it clear to him that she doesn't need him anymore in her life.

Mufida picked her almost crying self up and jogged into the house. Ignoring the consistent calls from Haidar.
