Farooq bumped his head on the steering wheel over and over again and sighed recalling the discussion he had with Imam.

As he narrated what happened, he remembered Imam being baffled regarding Arwa's sudden change. Normally, everyone knew she considered Faiza her foe. And she was the last person that would want link them up together, except if she was doing it with another intention.

Maybe with the intention to split them up, Farooq sighed again and bite his lower lip anxiously.

Imam had told him to get him Faiza's contact and he would speak with her, and whatever she wishes is what he was going to act on.

That statement didn't sit well with Farooq because judging from the way she ran away from him the other day, he was a million percent sure that she wanted nothing to do with him and she was probably even getting divorce papers ready. But he dare not voice out his concerns to the Imam.

Because he knew even Imam Nassir wasn't on his side, and he couldn't blame his decision.

He let out a shaky breath as he pulled his hair.

He understood everyone's thinking and Rose's extreme hatred for him.

As a father himself, he wouldn't accept anyone doing the same to Nura.

But the selfish part of him wasn't ready to let go. He contemplated for hours, thinking of where he would start from after divorce knowing Faiza would probably get married to another man that would treat her better.

A lone tear dropped out of his eye and was quick to wipe it and clean his face, then he ignited his car's engine and drove to work.

After working hours, he found himself yet again in front of Faiza's workplace. Although he wasn't sure she would be there, he had a weird feeling in his gut and he decided to try out his luck.

His heart was hammering as he pulled up, and with shaky and sweaty hands, he parked the car and got out. He let out a breath and walked into the building with the little confidence he had left.

As he entered, his eyes went to the reception and he connected eyes with rose's who immediately started to fume.

He muttered under his breath, wondering how he forgot his biggest hurdle would be waiting for him at the reception.

"Excuse me sir? We don't allow visitations?" She said with a straight face and he passed her a fake smile.

"I am here for a session, who do I have to visit?" He asked rhetorically while Rose glared at him.

"Who do you have a session with?" She asked and his eyes widened, he looked up and saw names of some of the therapists on the wall and awkwardly called out one of the names.

"Okay then, I'll check for your name," she said still annoyed but she had to be professional.

"By the way, if this is one of your tricks, know that I will hunt you down if you dare near Faiza," Rose said before switching on the laptop and Farooq rolled his eyes.

"She's my wife," he said in defense.

"Not for long," she immediately replied causing him to stagger back in shock. He knew Faiza would be taking steps to send divorce papers. He then had the urge to see her immediately.

He let out a raggedy breath as he suddenly started to feel dizzy.

While she was checking the laptop, Farooq was constantly turning his head hoping Faiza would pass by, and he held on to that bit of hope until Rose slammed the laptop shut and gave him a knowing look.
