Even after committing so many sins, you beg Allah for forgiveness, but He grants it to you.

Have you ever entertained the possibility that the person you detest may be more devoted to Allah? Everybody struggles in life; accept this and move on.

Zahid:
Lazy Sundays time is not even flying as usual as if it's stuck there.

I have been gazing at the clock until it reaches six o'clock. I wanna see someone correction not see but meet someone and ask forgiveness I did not mean what I said; I figured if I told Mum everything, she would not drag the subject up and insult or judge her any further; instead, it backfired on me.

I can not wait to go give her something; I hope she does not refuse because she is so erratic, but how will I even sneak into her room without anyone noticing? I just told her I trusted her, and all of my efforts have been in vain.

Yes!I hope Uncle Chef, my one and only supporter, will forgive me because I did not mean what I said.

*******

Zainab:
Aghhh finally away from drama and away from those people and Zahid I sighed in relief and closed the door after uncle chef brought for me breakfast and guess what he just smiled at me and told me all will be well now what did he mean by that??

Pancakes and omelette with coffee that's heavy breakfast this reminded me of my parents they always told me breakfast was one of most important meal of the day and I always skipped it I wiped a drop of tear how much I miss them only Allah knows...

Well I still have Nokia keypad cell phone while people have moved on to Samsung and iPhones..but old is gold it's still working and I thought of calling my only best friend Amina once I get my salary I will save it and buy new one InshaaAllah.

I miss Amina so much. She is a twenty-four-year-old hijabi girl who is very charming and talkative, unlike me who is quiet and shy. Do not mess with her; she is always full of energy and if you hurt anyone close to her, you will be gone. Her eyes are grey, just like mine.

"Assalamu eikum, so either you have been thinking about me for almost a week now, or you forgot about me because there is someone special there."

"Waleikumsalam and please calm down," I interrupted her to let her know that is not what I was saying, but she is the best, very hard to find, and reliable.

"Well I have been good and you?"I asked her, knowing full well that she must be curious to find out more about how to make fun of her.

"You are avoiding the topic of meeting someone?" She inquired again, and although I felt it was too soon to tell her anything, I will nonetheless share some information with her.

"Not someone, just a guy, my cousin, I told you about my job and stuff, and they are different from my family."After I gave her an explanation, she simply said something different.

"Permit them to be unique." The guy is the only one who seems concerned. What is his age? have you seen him? conversed with him? What is his name? She asked me questions as if we were in a game of Twenty Questions, haha.

"His name is Zahid, but no, I have not seen him, nor have we touched him; he is just a stranger," I informed her, grinning sadly as I recalled his remarks, which caused the most pain.

"Oww I am already looking names of shipping you two together your names start with Z," she finished and I just shook my head I have no idea how I ended up with this crazy best friends but she just lightens up my day.

"All right, let us talk later; I have to get to the mansion by evening," I said as I said goodbye to her.

I simply grinned to myself like a crazy person, "Miss you and love you so much can not wait to see you," she said.

We finally hung up with the words, "Miss you and love you too, take care see you soon."

***
I prayed asr prayer it was 4.30 pm made dua for my parents and sister but where were our grandparents?

For the first time since I came, I had enough time to relax one and half hour nap will be enough that too if I sleep am not heavy sleeper also.

While I laid on bed after while I heard a faint soft knock on the door who can it be at this time? I was already panicking what if it was the aunt but she never ever has come to even ask about me? what if it's sister...

"Who is it?"I asked my voice low and dry while waiting for a reply from another end.

"It' me uncle chef..., "I heard his familiar voice and sighed in relief at least it was him.

I slowly covered my face you never know anyone might be outside I welcomed him a bit frightened but he didn't close door.

"Relax dear..." uncle chef said with a smile on his face.

"Someone wants to talk to you, "uncle chef said and I wondered who in the house suddenly started realizing my presence or wanted to talk to me.

"Please allow him, "uncle chef said and he knew I couldn't say no to him he's always supported me since I came in this mansion.

"Oh him, "I said as if disappointed already shown in my voice let him hear I know he heard whoever was outside.

I just nodded uncle chef told him to come inside but guess what Zahid said he wanted me to speak in words and let him enter there was a time I never allowed guy in my room and now here he was standing outside the door.

"I want her to say it willingly with her own mouth," he said as if it will make any difference if I  said or not it's his house I heard he will soon be CEO and all that so why asking me in his own house these all will belong to him soon.

Stubborn people I heard chef whisper but I heard it.

"Fine come in, "I said but turned my face away my back facing him serves him right for hurting me.

"Listen I don't mean all I said I just wanted my mum to stop judging you and dragging topic,"  he said but didn't he realizes that he also judged me.

"You all judged me but I don't want to hold grudge we are two strangers I forgive you since you realized your mistake,  "I told him honestly I didn't want anyone to think otherwise or another thing about me or him there's nothing more he asked forgiveness and I forgave him I hope this will be our last meeting I still didn't turn to look at them I knew uncle chef was there still since it wasn't right of me and Zahid to be alone in room.

"Please go, "I said in low voice and he just had to start another conversation ahhhh.

"Oh so now we are strangers?" he asked coming inside I heard footsteps since all this time he was standing leaning on the door I  had turned o look at them to inform them someone might come all time it was difficult not to stare up at him once.

Uncle chef was just smiling witnessing these all.

"Uncle chef please tell him and leave we will be in trouble, "I went near uncle chef ignoring the person who was now inside my room I know his gaze was on my every move I will never let him see me let's see what he does and how.

"Not until she accepts my gift, "please tell her uncle chef he also started conversing as if we couldn't converse with each other.

"No need of gift I accepted your apology that's enough," I said I have never talked to guy for so long and here he was prolonging everything ya Allah what should I do? I can't just accept any gift he gives me am just maid and him the billionaire heir to this mansion..why doesn't he understand?

"You know you two can converse without me being the messenger or third wheel, "uncle chef said annoyed but I know he was enjoying seeing us like this especially me because he was smiling all these time.

Leaving my room door open, Uncle Chef said he was getting late because he had to make evening tea and snacks for everyone because it was Sunday and he was off to prepare something heavy. I just stared. Zahidfinishesh was talking quickly, so he said, "Be in the mansion, you know how everyone is."
What just took place?

"Please take," he whispered. He was right behind me. I could smell the not-so-strong cologne he was wearing today, but I avoided the thought; there was no time to think about Zainab.

"No, it is not right," I said, moving away from him to my closet, preparing for the evening. I wasted my one and a half hours for nothing, ahhhh.

I only have one closet, which is small but adequate for storing both the clothes I received as promised and those I brought.

He simply put the gift on the table and walked away, not waiting for my response. No one had told me about the party, so I was at a loss for words. "Am just keeping this gift here I will not take it back and I am just informing you that there is a party tomorrow at night 9 pm I want you to be present," he said, before leaving.

What should I do? Accept the gift and attend the party, or decline both?
