"What the heck is this Ibrahim??!"
The men looked up at her bored and then lowered his gaze to that envelope. A small smirk formed on his face and he said,
"I thought you could read English, Anaisha!"
He scoffed and continued his work on the lapt...

"C'mon Ibrahim there's no need to throw this huge party. It's our daughter's birthday and i don't want these many useless people there."
I sighed finally saying my heart out. Well tomorrow is Anayra's 5th birthday, and Ibrahim asked me that he wants to organise her party. At first i thought it would be just us. Small and cute party but of course how can I expect anything small from Ibrahim.
Nothing.
But i got to know, from Rehan - who is back again as his secretary - that he is planning a very huge party. With all the business partners and all big names which made me mad. But I didn't have the heart to outright say that he cannot plan the party. I know how much he blames himself for not being part of Anayra's previous years and celebration but I don't want Anayra to celebrate her birthday between these creepy and narcissistic people.
They are just good for business.
"Oh."
He mumbled softly and looked up at me before finally putting down his phone.
"I wanted everyone to.."
"You wanted everyone to know that Anayra is your daughter."
I completed his sentence while looking at him with pity. I do feel bad that he wasn't able to see Anayra growing up, he didn't get to see her first giggle, he first tooth, her first crawl, her first words.. I know.. but I cannot allow him to announce that she is his daughter right now.
Not like this.
I know what will the society think and i would not want anyone pointing out fingers at Anayra because of my and Ibrahim's past issues.
I want everyone to know that Anayra is Ibrahim's daughter but after our marriage.
Wait.
Did I said marriage?
God damn what all I'm even thinking.
I shook my head and looked at Ibrahim who was sitting there looking disheartened.
"Ibrahim. Understand that we don't need this right now."
He nodded slowly and i sighed in relief.
Finally. Convincing him is harder than convincing Anayra to go to bed. They both are same.
"Okay I'll cancel all the invitations."
I nodded.
"You can still plan the party but just keep it lowkey. Only our people."
He sighed deeply.
"I'm sorry. I..I just wanted to do something... As her father. I guess I still can't do a thing properly."
He chuckled bitterly. I furrowed my eyes slightly. What has happened to him today? Why does he looks so down on energy?
I walked to him and touched his forehead and quickly my eyes widened. Damn he has a fever!
