"Listen to 'I'm Sorry' by Akcent while reading."

.

When Aira saw her father talking with Bilal while drinking tea, she asked one of the maids, "Where is Eomma and Eonnie?"

The maid replied, "They are at the hospital for Ayeza Mam's monthly checkup."

Aira hummed in response and was about to approach them, as they hadn't noticed her. Ahmed, who knew about Bilal's actions from Zoya, felt his blood boil in anger. Seeing Aira march towards them, he quickly grabbed her dupatta from behind and pulled her back.

She turned around, her eyes red with anger, and demanded, "What's your problem? Let me go!"

He pulled her closer, but gently, mindful of her injured foot. "I know everything about Bilal. Let me handle this," he said firmly.

Aira stared at him, then reluctantly stepped back, still glaring at Bilal. Ahmed approached Bilal and Mr. Fahad, saying, "Assalamualaikum everyone."

Mr. Fahad replied warmly, "Walaikum Assalam, Ahmed my child. How are you, and what brings you here?"

Bilal, confused and not recognizing Ahmed, watched him closely. Ahmed glanced back at Aira, signaling her to join him. She stood beside Ahmed, glaring at Bilal, who smirked in response, assuming Ahmed was her husband.

Mr. Fahad excused himself and left, sensing the tension. Ahmed, clenching his jaw, looked at Bilal. Bilal stood up and hugged Ahmed, saying, "Oh, so you are Aira's husband. Congratulations."

Aira was about to retort, but Ahmed cut her off, saying, "You better stay in your limits and apologize to her for everything, or I'll expose your true nature to the world."

Bilal feigned innocence, replying, "Aira..you told him ?"

Bilal looked at him with an innocent face and said, "She also told you about this? Tsk tsk, Aira. You're ruining your own house by making me look bad in front of everyone. You should be ashamed. Why are you lying to everyone-"

Ahmed couldn't bear to hear more. He was still in so much pain and regret for not listening to Aira earlier. The realization that Bilal was the cause of everything that happened to Aira pushed him over the edge. He punched Bilal hard in the face, knocking him back.

Bilal stumbled, holding his face in shock and pain. The punch was filled with all the frustration and anger Ahmed had been harboring. Aira watched, her eyes wide with a mix of shock and a sense of justice. Ahmed stood over Bilal, his breathing heavy, his eyes filled with fury.

"You better apologize to her for everything," Ahmed growled. "Or I will make sure everyone knows what kind of person you really are."

Bilal, still reeling from the punch, didn't dare to speak. He realized the extent of Ahmed's anger and the seriousness of his threat.

Ahmed then said again, "Get lost from here and never come back. Dare to lay your dirty eyes on any woman, and I'll break your bones." Bilal tried to speak, but Ahmed grabbed his collar and said, "Tell everyone the truth as soon as possible, or I'll take you to a place where no one will ever find you." Bilal, terrified, approached Aira to apologize. She snapped, "Get out of here. I don't want Eonnie to see you. She's already endured enough." Bilal, overwhelmed by fear, ran away without saying another word.

Aira took a deep breath. Ahmed asked, "Are you okay, Aira?" She replied, "Yes, thank God Eonnie isn't here. It would have been too hard for her to see him." Ahmed then asked, "Should I go or wait for Ayeza and your eomma to come?" She replied, "No, I'm coming with you. I'll visit next time. Eomma and Eonnie will be late due to the appointment, and appa doesn't want to see my face." He said, "Okay, I'll get the car." She stopped him, saying, "Wait, I need to get my phone and some other things from my room."
