His Hijabi Intern.

Chapter Seven.

When The Past Meets The Present.

As the days go by. Ayat began feeling comfortable working with Naeem even though Kate had been absent due to personal reasons.

When his sister Layla visits him, she would make fun of him. Ayat and Layla started to become great friends despite their differences.

Layla liked Ayat as a friend. But due to her pregnancy, Layla wasn't able to see her anymore.

Naeem didn't want to think of her. She left him. He knew who her husband is but he stayed away from them at functions and business parties.

But one day all that changed when she came to his office.

"Sir, there's a woman who says she is your fiancée and she is here to see you", Ayat tells him.

It couldn't be Layla. She is on bed rest and Ayat would tell me her name.

"Is this one of Layla's tricks?", Naeem asks her hoping Ayat knows.

"No, sir. She says you know her and Layla hasn't sent her. And she is insisting on coming in".

"Okay tell her to come in", Naeem tells her.

After a few minutes, the so-called fiancee walked in.

"Naeem."

He recognized that voice. It was her. The woman who ruined him.

"Can I help you? Strange, you say you are my fiancée while you are married. And besides I have a fiancée already. So what the hell do you want?".

"Naeem...."

"State your business before I call the security to escort you out", Naeem was angry at her.

"I came here to tell you that I...still love you".

"Are you that desperate for me now? Why? I am engaged to a beautiful woman who would do more than you".

"I don't believe you. You are lying to me. You still love me".

"Okay, I will prove it to you even though I don't have to", he tells her.

Naeem took his phone and dialed Ayat's desk phone and asked her to come into the office.

"You called..."

Ayat didn't even get a chance to finish what she was saying when Naeem pulled her to his side.

"This is m fiancée. The woman I love and will love for the rest of our lives. So I suggest you leave and never come back".

"I don't believe you. She is just your secretary and nothing else", Aisha says looking at Ayat from top to bottom.

"Sorry, but doesn't it matter if I work for him or not? A fiancee, a worker does it matter? No, right. What matters is the respect and love we share for each other. That's the important thing in life. Loving him and respecting him. Leave with your dignity intact because no man would want a loose woman who would leave her love for a man because of money and then will come back to the one she left. Let me give you some advice; You lost someone great in your life because you were blind to see that what you are looking for was right in front of you. I suggest you leave before I call security", Ayat tells her leaving Naeem shocked.

How did someone know so much without anyone telling her? No one knows our story.

"I am leaving but I will be back for you, Naeem. You are mine", Aisha tells them leaving.

When she left, Ayat couldn't believe what just happened. She didn't want to know anything as it wasn't her place.

As she was about to leave, Naeem held her hand which made Ayat look at him wondering why he is holding it.

"Thank you. And no one should know what happened here", Naeem tells her. Even though he knew that she won't tell anyone about it.

"Okay, sir. No one would know about what happened today. Can I go back to my work?", Ayat asks as Naeem was still holding her hand.

"Sorry, go ahead, Ms. Said, and thank you again".

Ayat nodded and walked out.

What did I get myself into?

Ya, Allah.

Ayat shakes her head and went back to her office. Aisha walked out of the building furious at both Ayat and Naeem for the humiliation they did to her.

"They have to pay for what they did to me. And Naeem is mine and only mine. I married Nabeel because my father was indebted to his father. And now that dad is gone, I am free from him. I don't and will never love him", she says angrily.

Aisha remembered the day Naeem came to her father asking for her hand in marriage. She was very happy to see him there but when her father said no, her heart started breaking.

"Why did do that father? You know that I don't love Nabeel. I love Naeem..."

"Shut up. You don't know what love is. You will marry Nabeel and that is final", her father tells her. Their alliance has been fixed ever since they were kids.

Aisha had no choice but to accept her fate when her father passed away. She knew that she could no longer be with Nabeel as she didn't love him.

When she found out that Naeem has now taken over his family's company. Aisha was planning on divorcing Nabeel and getting back to Naeem but what she found out wasn't part of her plans.

Naeem having a fiancée. 

"Where have you been?" Nabeel asks his wife who didn't even bother to look at him.

"Somewhere where you aren't there", Aisha replied.

"Aisha, what the hell is happening to you? Tell me". Nabeel was worried about her ever since her father's death. She had been distant and didn't want to do anything with him.

"I want a divorce, Nabeel".

"No, we are not getting a divorce. Tell me what's wrong with you".

Aisha knew that she can't tell him anything because of the jealousy he felt when he found out that someone else had proposed to her.

"There's no point in discussing what can't be saved. Nabeel you know that all these years we have been trying for a child but there's no hope for me. You want a woman who will give you children and make you a father but I can't do that", Aisha lies to him.

She knows that he wanted to be a father but she didn't want to be a mother. Aisha always made up an excuse of not wanting kids until her mother-in-law suggested they see a doctor.

Aisha had to bribe the doctor who gave them false medical reports.

I can't be with Nabeel anymore. I have to get back to Naeem.
