Different but one

Chapter 5

"Who was in that black car?" "Auntie, it was sweet uncle!" Zain said excitedly and smiled. Sanjana gave me a confused look and then looked back on the road.

"I don't know, he found Zain" "You didn't even ask his name?" I looked at her, "Sanjana seriously" She chuckled and nodded her head. "Was he handsome?" "Sanjana don't start" She started laughing and nodded her head.

When she stopped in front of the hospital, Alex was waiting for us there. He opened the door to Zain and picked him up, "Hey champ, long time since I saw you" Zain shyly smiled and looked down at his hands.

I couldn't believe my eyes, he was so open with that guy, and here he is being all shy like a bride and that also in front of Alex. Sanjana helped me out of the car and held my hand.

"Dr. Jannat you surely got injured badly," Dr. John said while slowly putting my foot down. "It surely will take about 3 weeks before it's healed"

"It's okay, it will heal in a week or two," I said and stood up. He shook his head and just sighed. "You must take a leave for 3 weeks and you must not drive with that foot," He said while pointing.

"But I can't take leave from work, I have surgeries next week, and I have an important patient, I even had an appointment with the today," I said while grabbing onto Sanjana. "We will postpone them, now leave I don't want to see that stubborn face of yours" I pouted and looked at Sanjana.

"Finally you have some days off from work" I sighed and we went back to Sanjana's car. On our way back home Zain had fallen asleep, Sanjana helped me of the car and helped me to the door.

I knocked on the door, "Usman you are still here?" I asked when he opened the door. He looked at me worriedly and hugged me tightly. "How could I leave when Zain is nowhere to be found and you weren't coming home"

I chuckled and patted his back, he pulled away and looked down on my ankle, "It's nothing I'm fine" "Fine my foot, Usman she is off from work for whole 3 weeks, and Zain fell asleep"

Usman quickly took Zain from Sanjana and held him in his arms tightly. "My little boy" He whispered while kissing his head. He helped me in and helped me sit on the sofa.

"I'll put Zain in your room" I nodded while he went upstairs to my room. I heard footsteps and there I saw dad walking towards me. He sat down beside me and hugged me tightly.

"I knew you will find my grandson" I smiled and hugged him back. I pulled away and saw him smiling, "Ah, you're back" I looked towards the voice and saw mom standing there.

"I wish you didn't return" "That's enough!" Dad said angrily and stood up. She didn't care and looked at me, "You shouldn't have returned home with your so-called son"

"Ammi, please, don't say anything about Zain. You can say anything to me but not him" I wouldn't hear anything about my baby who is just innocent.

"Now you talk back? People are right, a stepdaughter will always be a stepdaughter" Yes, she was my stepmother but I never saw her like that. She always saw me differently but I never looked at her as my stepmother.

"It's enough! She never saw you as her stepmother, she always takes care of you first, you are her first priority! I shouldn't have married you, marrying you was a mistake!" Dad said and went to his room.

Mom glared at me and went out into the garden. I sighed and stood up, I walked upstairs and saw Usman beside Zain. "Usman, you can leave... Sorry you had to leave today and I troubled you"
