Chapter 5.

Asim. 

"I am impressed that you work hard for our company. I am promoting you to the Head of this office. I hope that is okay with you." Shaheer say with a questioning look. I nodded quickly and smile politely.

"It is completely okay with me. I promise I will work hard to raise it more." I say confidently. He smiled, which was surprising to me. He was very strict and barely smiles or laugh.

"Good. I am looking forward to see what you can do for this company." He says, standing up and stick his hand out. We say our goodbyes and walk out of the meeting room.

I sighed heavily as we parted our ways. I went back in my office room and started to work on the upcoming issue. I read new stories and correct mistakes before sending it forward to printing. I also attend few meetings and continue to work. When it was evening I lock my office and went back home.

It has been 2 months I see Zoya last time. I haven't heard anything about her from Khadija when she called me a week ago, but I know she is worried about something because her voice was slow and she wasn't even talking properly. I just hope everything is okay there. Earlier today when I saw Shaheer I think he will also be worried about something but he wasn't. He looked relaxed and in office mode.

I park my car outside of my new house. The house I call my home. The house where I live with my parents and my brother. It is beautiful 2 story house painted in white with 4 bedrooms, a kitchen, two attach bath in bedrooms and a half bath in hallway. Two bedrooms were downstairs while other two were upstairs. Rooms that were upstairs is mine and Adil. He is out of the city right now for some business work and don't know when he will be back. Mom and Dad take room downstairs and the other is guestroom.

"Assalam-o-Alaikum Mom." I give my Salam to Mom as I sit next to her. She smiled and nodded.

"Walaikum Assalam. How was your day?" She asked me and run her hand in my hairs as I put my head in her laps. No matter who much I have grown, I am still a baby for my Mom.

"Tiring. I want to sleep." I mumbled as I started to get into sleep, but groaned when she pinch my ear.

"Don't sleep without eating dinner. Get fresh I will set it for you" She forcefully make me stand and pushed toward the stairs. I rolled my eyes and went up into my room to get fresh.

When I finished my dinner Dad come back from Khadija house. He went there to ask Uncle if he need help with his café but I know Uncle refused it like always. He doesn't want anyone of us to help him. He wants to do everything on his own and he struggle a lot for what they are now. Dad tells us that he takes the help of Uncle to start his own restaurant.

I went back in my room and open my laptop to check my mail box. After checking it I open my Facebook and look through in new feeds, but I didn't get anything new. I was about to close when recent activity from Khadija stop me. She like a picture and my heart clenched to see the people in that picture. There Shehroz and Zoya was standing together formally. It hurts me to see her with him, but I can't do anything in this. Zoya loves him and I don't know about him.

I just hope if they get together, he make her happy and never do anything to hurt her. With that pray I closed my laptop and lay down in bed. I closed my eyes as they started to burn with tears as the picture flash in my eyes last time before the sleep took over me.

Zoya.

"Send them to Rauhan for a quick check." Shehroz say as he gave me the file back and went back to his work. I nodded and leave his room quietly. I walk in Rauhan Bhai office, which is only two doors after Shehroz office. I knock twice before I heard him come in. I step in and almost laughed at the sight.

There he was sitting in his chair with Rubab in his laps as she tried to get paper he was reading. I see when she was close to taking it Rauhan Bhai held it out of her reach. When she gets annoyed, she started to cry and he quickly gives it to her and looked at her surprised when she stop crying and stick her tongue out. She is only 1 year and 2 month old but Khadija Bhabhi teach her everything that make Rauhan Bhai melt, angry and annoyed. I smile when he narrowed his eyes as he started to tickle her and she started to giggle.

"Yes Zoya?" He asked after I get his attention. I walk into his office and give him a file.

"These are some photos of my new design and I want them to publish in the new issue of Gossip" I tell him as I handed him file and pick Rubab up when she held her arms up. I lifted her in the air and she giggle again.

"Okay. Show these to Shehroz if he approve, then we will publish them"

"I already shown him. He say to show you for a quick check." I told him. He nodded and call the man in printing department and give him my design and told him to publish it in the next issue that will be out in 15 days.

"Can you do me a favour?" He asked after everything was done. I nodded with Rubab still in my arms. "Can you take her home since you are going back, I have some important work and it is time for her to get back."

"I will take her, but why you bring her here?" I asked him confused. He groaned and hide his face in his hands.

"I make Khadija angry for not taking care of her as she does house work all the time and as my punishment I have to take care of her for 2 days. She says when I take care of her I will know how difficult it is and she is right. It is really difficult to take care of a child. I am so going to get lectured about it from her tonight." He says with a dramatic sigh causing me to laugh. I can't believe Khadija Bhabhi give him punishment to him?

"Good going Rauhan Bhai." I smirked when he glared at me.

"Shut up and take her home." He said and went to read the files and type something on the laptop. I walk out of his office to downstairs and in my car. I buckle her up in her car seat that I got from Rauhan Bhai and drive back to home.

It has been 2 months for that business party at the hotel and after that day something is wrong between me and Shehroz. I didn't remember falling asleep in a car and the next day of that party I was in serious pain and after some pain killer I get relief. I still don't remember what happened in the party. The last thing I remember was talking to some women who tell everyone that I am a play toy. I don't know what she means by that. I tried to talk Shehroz but he pushed me away and it hurt me a lot. He is trying to ignore me as much as he can. All I know is that something happened and it is not good when it come out.

I just prayed that whatever it will be won't be bad and change everything. I don't want anything I only want to marry Shehroz and live with him happily. This is my dream I have been waiting to come true.
