IMAN'S POV

I went to his office and he made me realize I made the biggest mistake by not reading the contract before signing it. I was clueless about what to do so I just messaged Y.S and told him what is happening and he said it's kind of impossible for me to quit since I didn't really read the contract before signing. I wanted to leave but had nowhere to go cause grandpa's vacation house is still being renovated, so I called Y.S and arranged for an apartment for me. I finished packing my stuff and locked the house, I saw him outside playing with the kids so I went there and handed him the keys and turned around to leave when I stepped on a toy and sprained my Ankle. I hate spraining my ankle cause my own is not normal, it takes Hours before it gets back to normal and it hurts a lot. YA ALLAH. I squatted on the spot cause I couldn't walk, farouk noticed me and came to where I was. Could this day get any worse?

Farouk: you okay?

Iman: Yeah I'm fine.

Farouk: yeah sure, cause your facial expression tells me you're hurt and in pain ,so yes you're fine. (he said in sarcasm)

Iman: just help me (I looked up annoyed at him on the verge of tears).

But before he could say anything his wife came.

Woman: Are you okay?

Before I could say anything, he chipped in.

Farouk: she sprained her ankle.

She's such a nice person, she offered to help me into the house, I refused but eventually she forced me and helped me inside. She got an ointment and just about that time farouk came in.

Farouk: Maryam, asnad is crying.

Maryam: ugh, what happened?

Farouk: He asked me to play with him and I guess I wasn't doing it right and then he started crying.

Seriously! I said and face palmed myself mentally.

Maryam: I'm sorry I-

Iman: No problem just go (I said and collected the ointment from her and then she left leaving me with Mr. Bulldozer isn't HE gonna leave?)

Shockingly he came to me, sat down on the center table and collected the ointment intending to apply it I reached over to grab it but he refused to hand it over. When he was done doing what I didn't ask for I muttered a thank you he probably didn't hear and tried to stand but I guess that's a bad idea.

Farouk: Are you crazy? You could fracture your ankle (he said reprimanding me, but it kinda felt nice)

Iman: But-

Farouk: But nothing, just be quiet and sit there, you can do whatever you want in the next two hours.

He left and I sat there quietly and surprisingly I obeyed him. The kids came in and we played for a while, they are soo cute Masha Allah and pretty smart for their age. The time read 7:30, I didn't realize the time and I didn't even pray, it was like Maryam knew what I was thinking cause she showed me to the guest room where I managed with my sprained leg to go to. I performed ablution and when I came out I found my luggage, I took my hijab prayed and did some azkhar. I was sitting on the edge of the bed folding the mat when I heard a knock.

Iman: come in.

It was farouk; he came in and stood by the door putting his hands in his pockets.

Farouk: how is the leg?

Iman: its fine now, I'm going to leave, I have somewhere to be right now. (I said folding my hijab).

Farouk: okay. (He turned to leave but then he stopped and turned) can you stand?
