BLURRED STARS |COMPLETED|

48'

The wave of relief that washed over her after writing her final paper was dream come true. She could now finally enjoy her beauty sleep and have all the time to watch Netflix not to forget her newfound responsibility, Naeem.

Talking about that her bond with him has gotten a lot better, he's more open and outspoken. He is a lovely kid, it sad that he had to go through so much. As for Hisham, she hasn't seen him in a while, he must have run off on his usual business trips or so.

She's currently watching Luck with Naeem in his room, she's been spending a lot of time with him seems like he also is starting to get attached. She spends most of her day in his room and also sleeps there with him, as Rosey demanded; attention and care.

Rosey has been of help as well, she sometimes plays around with him to take Farha off his mind before he seeks her.

"I'm hungry"

She pauses the movie, "Let's get you something to eat" they got down hand in hand making their way out.

They went ahead with making chicken Alfredo with some chilled watermelon chiller. As for dessert, Naeem suggested a chocolate chip muffin. Farha and Rosey did most of the cooking while he took the task of tasting each prepared delicacy.

Rosey secretly adores how close Farha and Naeem have gotten, their newfound relationship was awe-worthy. It's only been a month yet it's almost as if they've been together all their lives.

Assembling everything on the table, they dashed up to wash off the smell with a much-needed shower, Rosey offered to bathe Naeem, he was a bit hesitant but Farha manage to convince him to let Rosey bathe him to which he effortlessly agreed.

{^*^}

As vowed, he made sure to take care of Naeem's Nanny and her psychotic lover that inflicted as much pain on his seven-year-old kid. Deep down he knew it was his fault that Naeem had to suffer under their hands. He should have listened to his mother's advice on letting her take care of Naeem or at least been more of a responsible father.

He made sure they pay for their crimes for the rest of their lives. As much as he hates it, he had to get home and provide the answers to his wife's unanswered questions.

It still baffles him how she manages to get Naeem on her side in such a short time.

"I see that you are back quite sooner than expected," Abubakar says his tune lasting with meh-ness.

He shrugs shutting down the MacBook in front of him. He was just about to head home, he got back from his trip earlier in the morning and branched directly to the office to check on loads of pending work that he kept aside for the sake of his Family.

Abubakar heard from his secretary that he was at his office so he decided to visit him and give him a piece of his mind.

"You know, for a smart person, it's stupid of you to think I wouldn't find out about your health. I mean what were you thinking Yarima?" He fires to a nonchalant figure ahead of him. "When will you ever grow and be responsible? Now I'm starting to think you're doing this on purpose"

He scoffs, "what?"

"Don't act smart with me! Good luck on explaining yourself to Saraun—"

"You won't dare"

"Try me"

"I brought him back home"

His brows drew together trying to make sense of what Hisham is saying.

"Naeem"

His lips curved into an o shape, def what he wasn't expecting. "Finally! Farha?"

"What about her?"

He heaved out a sigh containing every darkness in him, "You should tell her, enough of all this, please"

"As I say, The woman is too good to be true, she deserves the best life has to offer just not me."

"You have developed a liking yanno"

"Certainly not. You're insane"

"There we go, don't lie to yourself at least not this time. As always, don't let your past define you, focus on you future. You have a wife and a kid isn't that enough? What more could you render for?"

He slides his glance away from Abubakar, getting up. He didn't like the effect Abubakar's words had on him, the environment suddenly felt suffocating.

"Think about it, you can't keep running forever"

{^*^}

"Are you crying?" Her small voice bolts his head up whilst he rubs off the tears that stained his face.

"Uh n-no," he stutters in embarrassment.

The girl giggles at his silliness "I promise not to tell a soul." She assures taking a seat next to him.

He took a minute to scrutinize the girl that seems around five to six not quite sure but her cheekiness says otherwise.

"Aren't you too young to be loitering around?"

Her expression drops into a scowl. "They're quarreling again"

"Who?"

"Mum and Dad"

He nods parting his lips to say something but she beats him to it.

"I don't like Dad"

"Well I guess we have something a common"

"Was that why you are crying?"

He shakes his head, it would have been way better if he did what he does. He has never felt more disappointed and hurt than he is.

"What's your name kid?"

"Are you to be trusted?"

He chuckles developing a liking toward the girl, she behaves just like his sister.

"Fine, it's Zarahau"

Right there he knew he had to keep her around, just as the meaning of her name, so was she. There was something about that only he left to himself, since then he kept track of her before the tragic event...
